' MURDER WILL OUT OLD SAYING PROVED IN THE KILLING OF MRS. LOUISE 7T BAILEY AT FREEPORT, NEW YORK y DR. CARMAN'S WIFE ACCUSED OF DEED The Air Has Been Full of Suspicions and Hints That the Slayer of Mrs.. | #? vt n Slow w n a dm \v:r? n- r- I p UHI>V(T TT (tCI iliv II lie III Ull V U rill U II Herself,?Last Week Mrs. Edwin Carman Was Arrested. M The readers of the daily papers last ^^week no doubt kept up with the mys^ terious killing of Mrs. Louise Bailey, a society woman of Freeport, N. Y., who while in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman, a popular physician of that city, was shot through the heart, while talking with the doctor, and died instantly. The first news about the tragedy ' stated that Mrs. Bailey was calling on the doctor as a patient, and that while she was in his office, suddenly a pistol shot shattered the window pane, struck Mrs. Bailey in the left breast. She died and an inquest was held. The first dispatches contained nothing . .showing any blame on Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, the wife of Dr. Carman. Photographs of Mrs. Carman had wide circulation in the news papers all over the United States, showing her to be a woman of queenly physique and wonderful beauty. Above medium in size and weight, she made a striking appearance on the day that ^ she attended the coroner's inquest to testify and try to show that she was i in bed at the time that the fatal shot was tired which killed her husband's patient. But among the little things that came out at the inquest was the fact ^that previous to the killing Mrs. Car-j man nau placed a dictaphone or dictagraph arrangement in her husband's office so that she might overhear what passed between her husband and his lady patients. She stated that what she had heard had convinced her that her husband was true to her. Other i witnesses at the inquest, and still oth-j ers who were unearthed later and told * their stories to the officials, stated t that Mrs. Carman was on the pi u/'Zci \ ft just prior to the shooting, that she v- passed through the house, etc. These I little circumstances and many others' r not necessary to relate caused the dc-1 ^tectives to keep a sharp look out on Mrs. Carman. It now comes out that the finger of suspicion pointed to her ever since the' story about the telephonic device came i out and by the middle of last week evidence began to pile up thick and fast,; ^ so that last Wednesday she was arrested and charged with the crime. When the door of the Mioola jail closed behind her last week Mrs. Carman pulled her heavy veil from her face and broke down. Her husband and the sheriff, who took her in an automobile from her home to the jail I 9 assisted her to the top floor of the building. The immediate cause of the arrest was the testimony given that morning by Ell wood T. Bardes, an insurance agent. Hardes also is locked up. He is detained as a material witness; for his story is of such ini- . portance that the authorities feared an attempt might be made to get him out of the jurisdiction of the New ^ Courts. ( Insurance Agent's Story. I At 7:30 o'clock on the night of the murder, Bardes's story runs, he determined to visit Dr. Carman to have . him to dress a minor injury. He walked to the physician's house. Arriving he decided he could dress the in- , jury himself and thereby save the j doctor's fee. So he walked past the house and then turned around to be- j gin his journey home. , At that instant he hoard an explo- , sion. He thought it was caused by an automobile tire, but when he look1 for the machine he could not find jt. He looked toward the lawn at the side of Dr. Carman's home. A woman tall well built, hatless, wearing a light shirtwaist and a dark skirt, was moving away from one of the win- ^ ^ rlnvuc i Vin ~c ?1 ^ iiiuc ul Liu* pnysician's office toward tlie rear ot' the house. She was walking "in a hurry," the witness swore. Barries was discovered yesterday, j His story might still remain untold had he not mentioned it, first to a wo- ' j man who telephoned the district at- ^ torney and then to a priest he visited v for advice. The priest urged Barries to make his story known. But before an opportunity presented itself he was taken into custody by order 1 of the district attorney. i J The battle to free Mrs. Carman, a 1 V prisoner in the Nassau county jail, ? was started last Thursday by Geo. t Levy, her attorney. Levy began by t informing District Attorney Smith t that he had an affidavit from George < r 1 ! Golder in which he repudiated a part of his testimony at the inquest. Then he attacked Elwood T. Bardes, the insurance agent, whose story of seeing outside Dr. Carman's office window a tall woman dressed in a dark skirt and a white shirt waist was directly responsible for Mrs. Carman's arrest. Both these efforts were anticipated by the district attorney, who that night issued the following statement: 'T heard the story of Golder before he appeared on the stand. He told me the same story he told me at the in quest, which was that when he called at the Carman home the night of the murder he saw a woman dressed in white sitting on the porch and that he later saw this same woman in Dr. Carman's ofliee. He told me he was sure he saw Mrs. Carman when he saw her." Boissonault's company installed a telephone device in Dr. Carman's of lice, some time before the murder, at the order of Mrs. Carman. She first said she was a dressmaker then admitted her identity, adding that she had many domestic troubles and want ed to hear what went on in her husband's office. This was on May 19. Arrangements for the rental of the instrument were made that day. On the same day Mrs Carman made plans to take her husband away for two days while the instrument was being installed. Mrs. Carman had told him about seeing a nurse kiss Dr. Carman and that she knew her husband mot many women in his office and outside. She asked the witness whether he could furnish detectives to follow him. Mrs. Carman and her mother called upon him next on May 25. Mrs. i Carman told him she was "satisfied" 1 and that she had been keeping a diary j record of everything she had heard over the instrument. She said she J had some difficulty in hearing all thai went 011 in the doctor's office because the doctor and his women patients sometimes whispered. 11 will be 11 days at least before 1 Mrs. Carman can hope to leave the Nassau county jail according to an j agreement reached last week between i her cou.nsl, George M. Levy, and District Attorney Louis J. Smith. Mrs. Carman's examination before a jus- 1 tice of the peace, set for Monday, when it was hoped she would go free, because of lack of evidence against her. This change was asked for by the prosecutor that he might present the case before a grand jury and also more ime to seek corroborative and stronger evidence. Mrs. Carman's counsel consented to the postponement under the stipulation that Mr. Levy should have the privilege of examining Elwood T. Dardes, witness for the prosecution. It was chiefly on Bardes' testimony that Mrs. Carman's arrest was based. Dr. Carman visited his wife in jail. The district attorney was informed ' that dui ing Dr. Carman's absence from home detectives made a search of the physicians house. They failed to find the revolver for which they were looking. AIKEN HAD WIND AND RAIN Severe Storms Last Week in That County Destroyed Some Property. Aiken and vicinity was visited by two severe wind and electric storms. The first storm was down in the Horse Creek Valley section where the hail , lightning and wind and rain played havoc . A large barn belonging to Dr. Casper Oliver, at Helve :iere, was struck toy lightning and was burned to the ground, as was also another on Beach Island. It could not be learned who owned the barn on Beach Island. One of the fires created so much attention in Augusta that an alarm was sent in. Especially severe was the first doud at Graniteville. Hail, the size of pigeon eggs, fell with great rapidity, breaking many windows out and ruining the crops and trees. The wind olew with such force that large trees vere uprooted and the town was covjred with debris from the storm. Wiley is Honored. Rochester, N. Y., July 11.?Dr. Har 1 vey W.

SMITH The Candidates Are Going it Some in their Race Round the State to See M ho is Going to Fill the State Offices this Time. At Edgefield last Saturday W. C. Irby, Jr., one of the candidates for Governor of the State jumped on John G. Richards with both feet about the latter's recent conversion to Hleaseism. Mr. Irby further stated that Mr. Richards and also M. L. j Smith showed the white feather by ; agreeing not to go to the last state i convention.

"Tell him about it," urged men in i the crowd cheering Mr. Irby in his ar- i raignment of Mr. Richards for being ; suddenly converted to Bieaseism. Charges Cowardice. Mr. Irby charged that hotli Mr. j Richards and M. L. Smith had been : cowards politically when they formed a mutual agreement not to go to the? last State convention. Mr. Irby said that he had gone there and denounced the enrollment rules regardless of how it might affect his race for governor. She Gave Birth to Four. A telephone message received in Newborn, N.

Stader, VInegrove, Kentucky,! j writes: "What do you know about the value of black strip or low grade mo- ' lasses as a feed, and how much should 3 be fed?" * The Experiment Station Bulletin No. 118, of the Massachusetts Experiment Station, Amherst, Mass., gives a very complete digest of the subject of molasses as a feed. The conclusions do not seem to be very satisfactory regarding its value. Where it can be | obtained cheaply, and where the grains ff are high priced, it probably has a place | in the feeds. It is sometimes fori by 5 diluting it with water so that stock ? will drink it, but generally it is used j to give cheaper feeds more palatal.il 5 ity; that is, it can be mixed with chop- 1 ped straw or other coarse hay and t stock will eat this to get the molasses. I It is also used to quite an extent with | alfalfa meal. Its principal feeding constituent is 8 the sugar or carbohydrates, and the jj conclusion of the Bulletin seems to be ? that these can be bought more cheaply ei in such feeds as corn than in the jl molasses. However, it would be v eil ? for you to find out what it would cost t you in your locality before deciding as " to feeding or not feeding it. At the present ] rices of other feeds, we are inclined to believe you will find that . an investment in molasses for a feed will not be a profitable one. * Yours very truly, 1 H C SERVICE BUREAU.
