He made some nice plays around second

batting was a big factor in keeping tne

HEIGHTS WON IT
Played Errorless Game and Pat It
on Buffaloes.
THE SCORE WAS 3 TO 1
Suburbanites Had Streak of Luck in
Sixth Which Caused Buffaloes
to Almost Stampede Rob-
erts Hot Discouraged.
Who's feed'n loco weed to the Buf-
faloes?" TJiat Is a question aaked by fans who
attended the game at West End park
yesterday afternoon between the Heights
and Houston leaguers. The game waa
called about 8:30 o'clock with Tesreau
pitching to Foley White for the Buffa-
loes the Heights retaining their usual
battery of Sisson and 8. Peebles. The
Suburbanites played an errorless gaina.
winning their seventh straight victory
this season on tha score ot I to 1.
From the first "nigger in" ever the
press box off Buveas' cudgel it waa easily
apparent that another stiff contest was
in store and Interest heightened wita
the progress of the game.. Condlttona
began to look bad for tha Buffaloes In
the first part of tha third inning when
the Heights got three men on bases and
only one man below hatches. The other
two however were killed in rapid suc-
cession at home and first respectively
and the amateurs were compelled to re-
tire without scoring.
BUFFALOES STAMPEDE IN SIXTH.
During; the sixth Inning the Heights
were favored with a batch of good plays
and ran In three men while theBuffaloea
lumbered about In the left end corner of
the range after tbe ball In a manner
that suggested a stampede.
Captain Barrett waa up to the occasion
however with a few words oy way of
consolation and be soon had the herd
milling. These were the only scores
made by the Heights and tbe profes-
sionals realising that they were up
against foemen worthy of their hickory
tightened up wonderfully and played a
stiff game to the finish. Hornsby turned
the goose egg luto a gosling in the last
of the ninth. . '
a Peebles' brilliant performance on the
summit of the gopher hill waa again the
principal feature of the afternoon and
his splendid work elicited many favor-
able comments from the grand stand and
bleachers. McDonald on -third also
knocked a couple that looked like safe
hits and Sparks played a good steady
game throughout Sisson was up to his
usual standard. '
The Buffaloes on the other hand
played as good ball as could be expected
and Dbak Roberta gives out that he la
in no way disappointed at the showing
made yesterday against the Heights. Mr.
Roberts realises that the Heights squad
Is composed of the top-notch class of
amateurs and in view of the fact that
his men have had no practice whatever
since last year h thinks the Buffaloes
will be able to trample all over the Sub-
urbanites as soon as they get their bat
ting eye.

NASHVILLE Tenn.. March 4. When
Court adjourned tonight In the Cooper-
Sharp trial for the murder of Edwnrd
W. Carmack after a day marked by lit-
tle progress and much wrangling between
attorneys the Jury sent word to Judge
Hart through a bailiff that "they had a
complaint to make."
The court called upon one of their number-William
Hows. The latter said:
"Most of- the Jurors are farmers. The
time for spring planting Is here. We
want to get home. The entire Tjrop for
the year depends upon the planting. We
feel that there are too many delays and
too much argument. We ask the court
to hurry things along. We would be glad
to have night sessions and work longer
during the day. But we want to get
through and get through soon."
Judge Hart told Hows he realised how
the Jurors felt and that he would use
every effort to make the case move more
rapidly.
At 9:10 the State's attorneys had not ap-
peared and Judge Hart sent for them.
The word came hack that they were In
conference and they craved the indul-
gence of the court for a short time.
Thereupon Judge Anderson said:
Tending the absence of the State's at-
torneys counsel for the defense will also
retire for a conference but we will re-
turn when you are ready for us."
The attorneys withdrew conferred and
returned but still the State delayed.
Finally after 10 o'clock Attorney General
McCarn and his associates entered and
aald:
"Recall Dr. McPheelers Glasgow for
-cross-examination."
Captain Fitxhugh conducted the cross-
examination. "Doctor when counsel examined you
and read your autopsy statement to Dr.
Eve he described one of the wounds on
Senator Carmack's body as one and one-
half Inches from the median lino of tha
iMft aid. Ta that correct?"
"No. sir: it was one-half Inch
typewritten one and one-half.
It waa
but the
one was crossed out.
"How did that bullet ranger
"It ranged downward and forward.
NOT ALWAYS INSTANTLY FATAL.
"It would be possible to receive such a
wound and Uve for some time?"
"Cases have been so reported."
Fitxhugh then asked If the work of Dr.
Von Bergman did not represent many
cases of people shot through the heart
Jklio lived some time and over the de-
ruse's objection the doctor aaid he did.
The State's questions tended to show
that the wounds Inflicted upon the sen-
ator while heart wounds were less like-
ly to be instantly fatal than others in a
different part of the body. '
MAY HAVE LIVED TO SHOOT.
The Idea was to show that Carmack
might have lived long enough to shoot
twice after he received tbe wounds which
killed him.
Dr. Glasgow said ha had never bad any
practice in heart wounds and. was not
an expert. On this ground the court
ruled lie could not testify aa one. He
was aaked If a woynd through the spinal
cord would not cause muscular convul-
sions. The State'a object evidently was
to show that the wound In tbe neck" cut-
ting the spinal cord caused Senator Car-
mack's muscles in the band to contract
and thus explode the revolver.- The de-
fense (.objected again but the doctor
qualified aa expert and said: -
"There would be much muscular con-
vulsions followed by paralysis."
"So if tbe senator had a cigar in hla
hand and the shot was fired into his
spinal cord and paralysis waa Instant
what would become of the cigar or any-
thing else held in his hand?"
"It would fall either cigar or revolver
Just where the senator stood."
"But you saw the cigar still in Senator
Carmack's fingers when you arrived
hence there was no Instant paralysis ?"
"Yea sir I saw it; it dropped later."
Tbe State then recalled S. J. Bennlng
for further cross-examination. Bennlng
Is the man who claimed he saw Senator
Carmack testing the cylinder of his re-
volver a few minutes before the shoot-
ing and who waa badly confused on
Tuesday.
General Garner passed a photograph
of Carmack to Bennlng and asked if It
waa a photograph of Carmack whom he
claimed he knew.
"It looks like him." '
"We offer the picture in evidence"
said Garner.
The defense sent up a chorus of ob-
jections for the picture shows the sen-
ator's boy in his arms. The court ex-
cluded it.
Bennlng was excused and left the stand
with great evidence of relief and court
adjourned until 2 p. m.
CONTRADICTED BRADFORD.
Charles Hayden one of the defense's
witnesses who was not cross-examined
when he testified was recalled by the
State for that purpose. Hayden was In
Judge Bradford's office when tlfe con-
ference between Colonel Cooper Robin
Bradford and General Tully Brown- took
place Just before the shooting. Hayden
stated that the door was closed during
the conference contrary to ttys testimony
of Colonel Cooper and Judge Bradford.
He denied too that any one called Colo-
nel Cooper to the phone. General Brown
swore he called Colonel Cooper to talk
to the Kovernor and that the governor
asked Cooper to come to -the mansion. If
Havden's testimony is accurate then the
excuse the Coopers had for being on
Seventh avenue that afternoon falla.
Dr. Glasgow was again recalled and
"Doctor would it be possible for a bul-
let In the shoulder such as you have
heard Robin received to work out?'
"No. sir: r don't 'think so. I don t be-
lieve it would be poesible for it" to get out
in twenty-four hours. The muscles would
close snd It could come out only by sup-
peration. and that would be impossible in
twenty-four hours."
The doctor was aaked to examine Rob-
in's clothing and see if a bullet had not
passed through It. The doctor thought
0The State then recalled Major Vertrees
who gave 8enstor Carmack the revolver
for cross-examination. The first question
developed a fight. The State asked the
major to detail alt that waa said when
he gave the senator the revolver.
CHARGED CONTEMPT OF COURT.
That Is pure and open contempt of
court." shouted Judge Anderson almost
before General Garner's Question waa
completed. "They are trying to show
the deceased senator's state ot mind and
that haa been excluded."
It was agreed to submit a brief and
await a derision tomorrow. 1 I i)
"Recall Judge Bradford" sold McCarn.
"Didn't you show Colonel Cooper's note
to Carmack to Joba J. Vertreea on the
day of the murder aad ask bun to de-
liver it to the senator T" i
"I did not." - - - ' '
"And didn't Mr. Vertrees aay he would
not because the editorials .in question-
did not warrant Such strong languager
- The defense objected and the court
sustained it because the witness denied
ever asking Mr. Vertrees to . deliver the
note. . - - -

ford said he telephoned to Mr. Vertrees
