UNWRITTEN LAW
COOPER'S DEFENSE
Right of Man to Protect His
Name From Attack Argued
by Defendant's Counsel.
STATE'S TACTICS SCORED
Ceneral Meeks, in Summing; up for
Deren.se, Says Courts Cannot
' Give Adequate Recompense
for Character Assault..
KASHVILLH Term.. March 9.-r-General
Heeks, of counsel for defense In the trial
of the Coopers and Sharpe, charged with
SAurderinjr ex-United States Senator Car
tnack, today extended the unwritten law
to- cover editors who attack private, or
public men.
"l'ou talk of the liberty of the. press,"
lie exclaimed, to the Jury.- "Why, gentle
3aen, no man lives who believes more
Jirmly in the liberty of the press than
I do. But when a man In an editorial
position turns the liberty of the press
Into license, and undertakes to defame
and defile you and your family, what
ere you going to do? The prosecution
ien you you nave recourse In .the
courts. Yes, and you get judgment' for
a,uuj against a man not worth the price
of a plug of tobacco. Is that satis
faction? - Xot First Murder.
. "Oh, gentlemen, I tell you the streets
of this, our city, have run red before
with the blood of men who Improperly
Xised other men's names in public
prints.'"
i: General Meeks, In a five-hour speech.'
painted the defendants as the finest
types of Southern aristocracy.
'A record-breaking crowd was present to
day when General Meeks began the open
ing argument for the defense. Meeks has
been ill, and at the outset of his remarks
ne was scarcely able to stand, and spoke
almost Inaudibly. As he warmed up he
eaid:
"The state has appealed to you to
enforce the law. And the state's Idea
of enforcing the law " seems to be to
convict some one, innocent or guilty.
I want to say to you, gentlemen, that
never in my life and in a broad prac
tice have I seen a witness so shame
fully treated as was Colonel Cooper
by Captain Fltzhugh. The prosecutor
seemed careless as to whether he ac
quitted or convicted Colonel Cooper of
the murder of Senator Carmack, but
he did seem determined to besmirch
the witness" character. He accused
him of not paying his debts. "What
has that to do with the killing of Car
mack? He tried to make you believe
that Colonel Cooper tried to embezzle
funds as Clerk and Master in Chan
cery. What has that to do with the
killing of Carmack? The whole scheme
of the state was not to convict Colonel
Cooper of murder, but to disgrace him
publicly on his record."
Slate's Krforts Denounced,
General Meeks denounced the effort of
the state to involve, the liberty of the
press, but declared that where the liberty
of the press was abused by a man who
used it to defame a private citizen, It de
generated into license.
Counsel next read the three editorials
introduced by the defense, phrase by
phrase and asked the Jury if they could
imagine anything more insulting or de
grading than these editorials, and con
tinued: "The state will say 'go into the courts.
Yes and get a Judgment for J25.000 against
a man not worth a plug of tobacco. It is
perfectly reasonable to believe that Col
onel Cooper was angry, that he used vio
lent language. And they tell you he is
not an example of the old school of
chivalry; that he Is not a type of the old
Southern gentleman. I say he is. I say
he is one of the grandest and bravest men
I know."
General Meeks then turned his attention
to Robin Cooper and recited the efforts
Hobin made to prevent the tragedy, de
clared that he "touched every button
possible."
MURDER AND NOT DUEL
(Continued From First Page.)
the fact that the hunting season Is past,
there having been no birds on the place
tfor several weeks and poachers have been
quite unheard of for some time. However,
both Dale and Hlett made several arrests
during the Winter and revenge is re
garded as not an altogether Impossible
motive. Late in the hunting season they
held up one poacher and relieved him of
his shotgun.
It was learned yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Archie Leonard, who spent the
day at work -on the case, that Dale and
Hlett were together Sunday morning in
Tortland, and that they went to the pre
serve together, or at least left together in
that direction. Dale had been about the
ity for several days and his movements
tan be accounted for every day excepting
iast Friday. He spent Thursday and Sat
urday nights at the Rose City rooming
house on North Sixth street.
' ' Police Hunt "Carlsam."
- "X- Carlsam" is the name signed on
the register by a man who is now being
looked for by the authorities. This man
registered with Dale at The Rose City
place and was assigned to the same
room. Dale was about Portland until
the -early hours of Sunday morning,
drinking with a tall, raw-boned man,
apparently a Swede. Whether or not
this man and Carlsam are the same is
not yet known, as the hotel clerk said
he saw Dale with three different men
and didn't know ju6t which one occupied
the room with him. The tall man and
Dale were drunk together at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning.
Deputy Coroner Dunning reports that
they were at the Twoomoy saloon, at
Sixth and Glisan. late Saturday night,
and that the stranger got Dale up and
took him for a walk after Dale had been
escorted to .a room by Joe Negrone, bar
tender at the .Twoomey place, at 1
o'clock Sunday morning.
; Dale May Have Told of "Wealth.
It is suggested that Dale may have
een reciting his tale of hidden wealth
-to some of the wayfarers of his Satur
day night debauch and he may have
added the explanation that he intended
leaving the place for good on Sunday.
Knowing he was to quit the preserve
rid bellevir.gr he might dig up his supl
posed cache before going, it is regarded
as not Improbable that someone may
have followed him for the purpose of
robbery.
But a stubborn fact to overcome is that
the boat in which it is necessary to cross
to the preserve was on the side where
the dead men were found. It Is not
thought likely that anyone would swim
across a neck of the Columbia Slough to
escape, when a boat was available to
them. It is possible to leave by going;
eastward ..through the woods and
marshes, but only a" person well-acquainted
with the surrounding country
would be likely to attempt that route
of leaving the preserve, as necks of the
slough are woven about in a veritable
network throughout the district.
When the officers go to the scene the
first thing this morning they will take
up a detailed search of the whole pre
serve. Inquiry will be made at every
habitation in the surrounding terri
tory, and both the clubhouse and Dale's
cabin will be more closely examined.
! The search for the missing shotguns
and for Dale's silver watch will occupy
the attention of officers detailed espe
cially for that branch of the work.
An effort wilt be made to establish
fully the ownership of the single-barreled
shotgun with which Hiett was killed. At
this time it is not know where the gun
belongs, although It is thought to be the
property of Mr. Leadbetter. who is In
the Kast. A somewhat similar gun was
taken by Dale from a poacher, but that
weapon was turned over to the authori
ties at the time.
Doctors' Give Opinion.
"There Is no doubt in my mind but
that Hiett's death resulted instantly."
said Dr. McCusker last night, after hav
ing completed an examination of the
victim's brain, which occupied nearly six
hours. "One shot penetrated the crura
cerebri, and it is impossible for a man to
strike a blow with such an injury as
that. The shot passed completely
through, paralyzing the motor and sen
sory functions and rendering it utterly
impossible for him to swing an ax."
"Dale never moed after being struck
with the ax. said Dr. Dammasch, who
conducted the examination of Dale.
"I've never seen a man's head so com
pletely broken as was Dale's. The blow
that did it must have been terrific.
Even the left Jaw, the cheekbone and
the entire front part of the skull were
shattered. The only movement Dale
could have made after receiving that
blow was that of dropping dead in his
tracks. I agree perfectly with Dr. Mc
Cusker that Hiett's death was instan
taneous, and that it would have been
impossible for him to have killed Dale
or for Dale to have killed Hiett."
Dale Liked Mrs. Hiett.
In regard to occasional differences be
tween the two men over Mrs. Hlett as
well as over money matters, much was
learned yesterday. It was found that
Hlett owedDale considerable money. It
was also learned that Dale had attempted
to nfake love to his young friend's bride
and had been severely repulsed while the
couple were living with him last Winter
on the hunting preserve.
Mrs. Hiett told of this episode yesterday
when seen at the home of Hiett's sister,
Mrs. Dora Bruce, at 230 East Seventh
street. She alsorfxpressed confidence that
the men killed each other and said Dale
had once threatened her husband.
"As soon as I saw them lying there
Monday morning I knew what had hap
pened," said she between her sobs.
"Dale was quarrelsome when he was
drinking and he had threatened my hus
band. He tried to make trouble between
us.
"Before we were married he seemed to
like me and afterwards he was all right,
but when we went to his place he soon
became abusive and would make remarks
which I didn't like. He tried to kiss me
once when my husband was not there.
Shortly after that he offered to rent a
room for me away from the place, saying
he would pay the rent If I would go away
and leave my husband with him.
"After we left there and my husband
went to work in the roundhouse, he
planned to go down to Dale's and get
our furniture and things. Dale told lilm
there was no hurry about It. But Satur
day he went to the roundhouse and told
my husband to come at once and get the
thing3 as he was going to leave the place
right away. They were to meet Sunday
morning at Sixth and Glisan and go down
there together. My husband left about
9 o'clock to go and meet him. That was
the last time I saw him alive."
It was . learned that at 9 o'clock Sunday
morning a young man answering Hiett's
description called at the. Rose City Lodging-house
and found Dale, the two leav
ing together. "What became of the tall
man or of Dale after the early morning
spree, nothing so far. can be learned.
STAFF FAVORS REMOVAL
Prefers Headquarters at Seattle or
Portland.
"WASHINGTON, March 9. It is rea
sonably certain that the General. Staff
favors the removal of departmental
headquarters from Vancouver, prefer
ably to Seattle and if not there to the
city of Portland. No formal recommen
dation for removal has been made and
action will not be taken before the new
Secretary of "War assumes office. The
situation is rendered uncertain through
the fact that the office of chief of staff
Is now vacant.

Chamber of Commerce and Commer

In the event that the War Department
takes up seriously the question of remov
ing the Department of . the Columbia
headquarters from Vancouver to Seattle
the Portland Chamber of Commerce will
ask the members of Oregon's delegation
at Washington to use their influence to
have the headquarters removed Instead
to Portland. This plan, it is believed,
would meet the entire approval of staff
officers at Vancouver. Examination of
the Army directory discloses the fact that

Mrs. Eddy, but Is Overruled.
Accepted Jurors Picked Out
of Over 14 00 Men.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 9. At tlie
close of the 67th day since the work
of impaneling a jury was begun and
after more than 1400 veniremen had
been examined. ' six jurors were finally
accepted today to try Patrick Calhoun,
president of the United Railways, who
stands charged with having offered a
bribe to ex-Supervisor Fred P. Nicholas
with the pui-pose of influencing him to
vote for the overhead trolley franchise.
Six peremptory challenges were exer
cised, three by the prosecution and
three by the defense.
The men sworn to try the ' case are
Joseph Dixon, clerk; Peter Ant lies. Sr..
retired mining man; Michael Maguire
retired hay arid grain merchant; Robert
B. Symington, civil engineer; Charles
II. Suydam, wholesale grocer; James
Granville. retired machinist. They
were ordered into the custody of the
Sheriff by Judge W. P. Lawior and
sent to the St. Francis Hotel.
Edwin W. Bennett, a retired manu
facturer, was the 13th man called for
examination today. His answers to
questions Injected a new element Into
the proceedings. In that the venireman
declared himself to be a Christian
Scientist and eald that he had con
scientiously endeavored to shut out of
his mind all consideration of criminal
matters. The defense challenged for
cause, citing Mr. Bennett's belief that
one element, of the present case that
relating to the commission of the
crime charged In the indictment was.
already proved, though not with re
spect to the defendant. Judge Lawlor
disallowed the challenge and Mr. Ben
nett was passed to the box.
