NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 11. The police are Investigating numerous sto rits which gained circulation yesterday among the late ex-Senator Carmack'i friends and were cited by them as tend In? to show that the Coopers had pre viouvly determined to attack the ex- Senator and were searching lor mm when he was shot by Robin Cooper yesterday. In addition to the slate ment made by Governor Patterson this morning, which Is one of the few posi tive bits of evidence so far, the police , are at work on reports that Colonel Cooper had sent written as well as ' verbal messages to Carmack, warning hlrn to refrain on pain of death from using Cooper's name in future eulto . rials. Warned bj Cooper's Daughter. The efforts of the police In connee tlon with Mr. Patterson's statement are directed toward a rumor that Colo nel Cooper hod told his married daughter of his Intention to kill Car mack, whereupon she is alleged to have . called on the Governor by telephone and asked him to use his good offices with her father The police are trying to ascertain if it is true that the conversation held tw the Governor with the Coopers. In which he played the part of peace-" maker and to which the Governor re . fers in his statement, was the direct result of the warning be Is said to have received from Colonel Cooper's daughter. K. B. Craig, of Chattanooga, cred ited with having had conferences with both Carmack and Cooper regarding the publication of the editorials in question, said today that It was true that he had conferred with both, but that he had not, as reported, said to Colonel Cooper that Carmack would not again refer to him editorially. Charged With Murder. Two charges have been made against each or the Coopers, murder and carry ing concealed weapons against the son, and accessory to murder and carrying a pistol against the father. The latter waived examination and was held In jail -without bail. In former years the men were dear friends, Carmack having declared In duo- l'c print that Cooper was his benefactor. Kut friendship had been replaced by en mity which was more noticeable since Carmack became editor of the Tennes-- n, following the late primary. Then the editorial attacks began which culmi nated In yesterday's affair. IIohIs Mourn for Carmack. The body of Carmack was sent to Columbia this afternoon. Impressive st-enes at the Union Station marked the departure. Members of the W C. T.

A brief ad dress was delivered by Rev. Ira La mi ruth. Mrs. Carmack and a few of her closest friends were on the spe cial car which conveyed the body, and the profusion of flowers was but another of tite many testimonials of grief from hosts of friends and sympathizers. All during the morning hours a stream of callers had entered the home of Frank Lander, where the body lay. The funeral party reached Columbia about 4 o'clock this afternoon and was met by a large concourse of friends. The body was at once taken to the Carmack home, where the funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Young Cooper's Wound Serious.

Cooper, who fired tiie fatal shot and was himself wounded, is under arrest at a local hospital. He Is doing well, but his physicians stated today that his wound, which is near the collar bone, is in a dangerous place and complica tions were not unlikely. Colonel Cooper, who was with his son when the shooting occurred, was transferred from police headquarters to the jail today. He had nothing to say. Friends of Carmack are loud In their condemnation of the Coopers, and the Tenneaseean. of which Mr. Carmack was editor, th's morning both editorially and In Its news column, made the unqualified charge of murder. lEPLORES CARMACK TRAGEDY Governor Patterson Urged Cooper to Take No Notice of Editorials.

I saw both young Mr. Coopr and h:s father in the morning and nothing o"curnd to cause me to suppose that any altercation would take place with S-jiator Carmack or any one elpe. Colonel Cooper had been very much aggrieved at the use of his name by Senator Carmack. and I learned4 that he had prepared a note to send Senntor Carmack demanding that in future his name be not used In editorials, as hp was a mere private cit izen and should not be subject to public attack or ridicule. "I strongly advised against sending the note, as di'I his son, Robin Cooper, and also Mr. Bradford, believing it might t-ause a difficulty, and urgvd him to take ito notice of the objectionable editorials. Colonel Cooper awured me that he would not spnd the note and there would be nothing of It. "Robin Cooper left the Maxwell House with me in the morning and promised to stay with his father, who seemed to be oxeited. nnd prevent any possible trouble. 1 thought the whole matter was nded until my return from the Capitol in the evening, when I was shocked to learn of what had occurred."
