right side, under the skin, crossing
the median line of thy anatomy.
"Another bullet entered the left
shoulder and lodged about four and
one-half inches below the right nipple
under the skin. Both of these
wounds were clean ones, and 1 do not
think they were the fatal ones.
"The third bullet, which I conceive
to be the fatal one, was in the neck.
The wound was one and one-half inches
to the led of the median line,
and one inch below the hair line on'

Nrcd the neck and made an exit from |
the mouth of I lie deceased. The hut-1
Jet was found on the street, under his |
tongue at I he exit of the wound. Two
front teeth were also broken loose.
"I think there were two bullets
fired from Carmaek's gun."
The body of Mr. Carmaek was pre- 1
pared for burial and removed to the !
home of Frank Lander, general manager
of The Tciinesscean, and will be I
taken to Columbia, his former home, '
tomorrow. i 1
I'lie combatants were evidently '
very close together when the firing j
benan, but the question of who fired''
first s 11 o i is in conl roversy. Mrs. j
diaries II. Mast im;i ii of this city and 1
J. M. Mast man of Xew York were i 1
nearby when the tragedy occurred. '
Mr. Mast man's hearing is not good, j 1
find he declared he knew but little ol I '
the alVair. Mrs. Mast man said:
An Eye Witness' Statement.
"We were walking down Seventh!
avenue in the direction of Church | I
street and had .just passed the enhance
to the I'olk Klals. Mr. Carmack
came up the street towards us,
smiling as he recognized me. Tie wa> j
some steps away, and there were
very few people on the street. Mr. I I
Eastman and I were near llie edge ot v
the sidewalk, and Mr. Carmaek would I (1
have passed between us and the fence, t
lie raised his hat as we spoke. He |
had his right hand up and was about I
to make a remark when soiuebod\ (
said it was the older voice -'We've c
got you all right' or something to a
.thai effect. I can't say positively e
"what I he exaet words were. Tt. nevei ji
occurred that it was anything more
than a friend speaking. Mr. Car- i
mack raised his eyes, instantly put on
his hat and ran his hand back, when j
the same voice said: 'You coward, ?
you are hiding behind a woman are
you?' Senator Carmae.k jumped out <
so as to get dear of me, and I jump- t
ed into a gateway. T saw that. Mr. t
Carmaek had a pistol. T turned and |
said, 'For Cod's sake don't shoot.* j
T saw Mr. Carmaek wheel and fall in 1
a heap in the gutter."
Mrs. F.astman said she saw the (
young man standing over Mr. Car- (
mack and that he put something into
his own pocket.

an Columbia, Tenn., and was a member

Tenth congressional district of Tennessee.
lie served with distinction in
the 1'niled States senate for six
years, being defeated for reelection
in the primary two years ago by Former

then resumed the practice of law in
Memphis, which was then his home,
but within a few months removed t .
Nashville.
Mast spring ho opposed Cov. Patterson
for the Dcmoratic gubernatoriaJ
nomination, championing tincause
of State-wide prohibition. Mr.
Carmaek was defeated. Shortly alter
his defeat Mr. Carmaek accepted
the editorship of the Nashville Tennesseoan,
and lor the last two months
has been at the head of t'u't paper.

a- where lie has trampled down and lay
he a poultice of warm words upon the

ed. It will also teach those who most

le who can forget injuries I lie most,

"If will be remembered that Go\>
ernor Patterson professed to have oii"
l.v one great motive in seeking the

lie and unselfish desire to purge the
stale of the shame ami inI'ann
brought upon it by Cox and the fox
machine. Tie openly declared that he

would not consent that such a man j
as Cox should he governor of Ten- j
nessee. He charged that Cox had de- I
graded and debauched the politics o|
1 I the Stale; he represented him as the
i> pliant fool of the saloon and the cor- j
t porations: lie eharged that he was a
I 'democrat only in name, a republican j
in fact;' lie called him a 'traitor to i
I the democratic party.' N"o( only that, j
'. hut he viciously assailed his personal
al honor, his pecuniary integrity, and j
s from every stump in Tennessee he ]
- pictured him in the bitterest words
of his vocabulary as a common
grafter. And the whole crew joint
ed their voices in one universal ehorv
us of damnation?'crook.' 'grafter,'
e 'corrupt politician,' 'cheap John

that flew thick and fast from the
1 mouths of Duncan H. Cooper and all I
s the leaders in the great movement to
tl reform and purge and purify the
r State, to destroy the power of the
s political machine and restore powei
i- to the people of Tennessee. The whole
o campaign was conducted with a view
not only to defeat Governor Cox, but
i- to load him with infamy and drive
him out of the politics of Tennessee.
So far was this carried that, after
Patterson had been nominated foi

by his democratic constituents jfor
the State senate, Major Coope*
