CARMACK JUROR ARRESTED

Charged With Perjury After Being Released For Blaa. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 29.—With the jury numbering two less than it did six days ago, the tenth day of the trial of Colonel Duncan D. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp, accused of the murder of former Senator E. W. Carmack, began with the room crowded with talesmen. The court excused Jurors Leigh and Jackson, charged with drunkenness and bias, and intimated that Juror Whitworth would be excused. He has been ill for several months and two physicians have signed certificates that if he remains in the box his life may be forfeited. Following Juror Leigh’s release from the box he was arrested on a charge of perjury and released on $1,500 bond.
