Mrs. Carman May Know
Her Fate Late Tonight
ii RINGS HER STORY DOWN THROUGH A LONG PERIOD
DURING WHICH SHE KEPT HEARING THINGS
ABOUT HER HUSBAND AND HIS "GIRLS"
MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct. 23.-Mrs. Florence Conklin Cannan,
on trial herc for the murder of Mrs. Louise Hailey, may know her
fate by tomorrow night. Her counsel and District Attorney Lewis
J. Smith today informed Justice Charles H. Kelby they undoubtedly
would complete their case before the noon recess tomorrow.
The entire afternoon thus will be left for thc summing up and
the delivering of the charge to thc jury. The case should be in the
hands of the jury before nightfall.
This was the defence's day. Witness gave testimony for Mrs.
Carman. The defendant herself submitted to a grilling cross ex
amination. Explaining her installation of a mechanical "eaves
dropping" device in the ofHce of her husband, Dr. Edwin Carman,
>hc told how men friends of her husband had asked him in her pres
ence how "all of his girls" v/ere. Other men, she said, solemnly,
had told her the doctors was "a devil with thc girls."
She brought her story down through a long period during which
she kept hearing things about her husbafid and his "girls." Then
she admitted she became suspicious of Dr. Carman and had the
"mechanical eavesdropper" installed in his office. She admitted
;hat if a woman patient came to her husband's office many times she
became suspicious of the woman and also of her husband.
Mrs. Carman frequently was confused and at times hesitated
and fenced with thc prosecutor. When interrogated regarding her
fa'durc to write a note of condolence to thc family of thc woman
killed or to call at the house to express her sympathy, Mrs. Carman
appeared on the verge of a breakdown. When it was over she hur
led to her seat and watched her little daughter, Elizabeth, walk
io the witness stand. Then she listened intently while the child
lestitied in her mother's defense. . Meanwhile Mrs. Carman show
ed increasing signs of nervousness and when her aged, gray-haired
mother took the stand and began her testimony the woman cn trial
for her life burst into tears.
.All members of Mrs. Carman's family testified in her behalf
today. Their stones were corroborative and each witness denied
'.here was the least truth in thc story told by Celia Coleman, the
servant who gave testimony by which it was intended to connect
Mrs. Carman directly with thc murder.
Another witness was Ferdinand Q. Morton, a negro lav/yer,
m ployed to get a statement from Celia Coleman for the district
.Morney, which statement afterward was turned over to the defense.
this statement Celia denied she knew anything more about the
rurdcr than she Had told at thc inquest when her story was favor
able to Mrs. Carma'.). The maid has declared she lied at this hearing
(cause Mrs. Carmrui had asked her to and because she then felt
.sorry for her mistress. *
Mis. Carman declared tonight she had not the slightest doubt
re jury would bring in a verdict of acquittal.
Mrs. Carman, smilingly stepped into the witness stand for the
ordeal of cross examination by District Attorney Smith.

(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Ort. 23.-interest In '1
financial affairs today again was fo
cused on Washington where further
conferences and negotiations were in
progress foi ibo alleviation of foreign
exchange conditions and the unravel
ling of the complex cotton situation.
It is becoming more geuorally recog
nized that these factors constitute the
foundation upon which all financial
and commercial operations of thc im
mediate future are to be laid.
The feature of the foreign exchange
situation was the new low record for
exchange on Germany, for which sight
drafts sold at 90 1-2. This was an out
come of thc large offerings of bills
against shipments of grains, cotton
and general merchandise to Germany.
Exchange on London was moro
steady. Cotton bills were less conspicu
ous in the day's business with London,
but it ls said additional shipments of
that commodity to Liverpool are in
contemplation.
Further ease in money was noted
and tomorrow's bank statement is ex
pected to show an appreciable gain in
cash with thc complete effacement of
the deficit in cash reserves. Local and
Interior banks are buying more com
mercial paper, but greater discrimin
ation is being shown in the purchase
pf these bills. The improved statu of
the monetary situation also IS evi
denced in the "continued retirement of
emergency currency.
Increase in idle railroad equipment
and falling away in bank cle&Cngs
has overthrown expected trade con
ditions.
Receivership for the Toledo, St
Louls and Western road occasioned no
surprise, in view v>f tho company's de
fault on its bonds almost three months
ago, but the incident called'renewed
attention to similar financial embar
rassment by the railway systems of
the same class.
Weekly Cotton
-o
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-There has
been more optimistic talk in local cot
ton trade circles during the past week
and it seems the goneral impression j
that good progress has been made in '
thc direction of reopening the ex
changes. Tho new by-laws, meeting
the requirements of tho cotton futures
law and increasing commission rates,
were adopted Wednesday, and while no
official announcement has been made,
it ?B understood the successful oper
ation of the syndicate plan for taking
over old contracts now is assured.
A rough draft of proposed clearing
house plans has been submitted to
the board of managers, but there still
is much work to be done by the com
mittee which has been authorized to
employ expert assistance in drawing
up details, and the actual organiza
tion of such an institution ls not deem
ed essential to reopening of the mar- i
ket.
Tho movement of cotton has been In- ,
creasing, with enough selling pres-,
suro to cause declines in Southern j
spot markets. It was reported today ;
domestic mills were negotiating with',
bankers for, aid in financing lacreas- ?
ing purchases.. A more act leo invest-'
ment demand is expected to develop .
with the reopening of the exchanges,
and plans aro said to b? formulating ]
for shipments of cotton to Groat Brit- j
aln in part payment of the adverso
trade balance.
Bradstreet's Report
-o
NEW YORK, Oct. .23.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Cross currents in trade and finance, j
domestic and foreign, give an irregu
lar appearance to commercial and fin
ancial affairs. The war, still is the !
dominating element, and whatever
dullness, or on the other hand, stimu
lation is visible takes its rise ap- j
parently in tho hosltilitlcB in Europe. 1
On the favorable side are to be found
the rather better tone of financial
matters caused by international cf- }
forta to bring about a resumption of .
cornial conditions in the exchange .
market, the cotton export situation and
the reopening of the stock markets. |
Bank clearances for the Week end- ,
lng October 22, according to Brad
street's, were $2,733,346,00, a decrease
of 24.6 per cent .'or -the same week last ?

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Today's ad

of Ore pool for financing surplus sup
plies.
Xe announcements were forthcom
ing as to the syndicate plan for tak- '

THIRTEEN BRITISH
MERCHANTMEN SUNK
(By Associated Press.)
' LONDON. Oct 23.-(6:40 a. m.)
A dispatch from Teneriffe, Canary Is
lands, to thc Daily Afail, under date
of Thuraday reporta that the German
cruiser Karlsruhe bas sunk -thirteen
British merchautuient in the Atlan
tic.
Thc news of thc Karlsruhe's ex
ploit, according to the Daily Mail's
Teneriffe correspondent, was brought
to that port by the German steamer
Crefeld, which arrived there with the
crew of thc British Bteanieiu Strath
roy. Maplebrauch, Highland Hope, In
drani, Rio Iguslasa, Farn, Nic?to,
Atarla, Cervantes, Cornish City, Pruth,
Condor and Lnrowan, all of which
were sunk by the Karlsruhe. Tho
Crefeld waa accompanied into port
by the German steamers Patagonia,
Rio Negro and Asuncion.
At later message ?tated more than
400 men of the crew are prisoners
and that the * merchantmen were
mostly sunk in the Atlantic. Tho
ships were mostly engaged in tho
South American trade and their total
tonnage is about 60,000.
The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of
a trifle less than five thousand tons,
lias had in this war a career as event
ful in thc Atlantic as that of her
?maller sister ship, thc Emden, in tho
Indian ocean.
The Karlsruhe first came into no
tice at the outbreak of the war whon
she appeared in thc vicinity of Sandy
Hook apparently in wait for British
merchantmen leaving Now York. For
a few days the British shipping hug
ged their piers and then carno news
that tho Karlsruhe had been driven
away by tho approach of scvoi-.ii
British cruisors.
On August 9 the Karlsruho appear
ed in the harbor of San Juan, Porto
Rico, where she coaled and then again
took to thc seas. Soon after it waa
learned the Karlsruhe had been in a
sensational running fight at sea with
the British cruisers Suffolk" and
Bristol.
It' appears that the British cruisers
came .unexpectedly upon the Karl
sruhe while sho was coaliug from tho ?
German steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm.
Thc cruisers engaged in a running
fight while the Kronprinz Wilhelm,
through her superior speed, easily es
caped. The Karlsruho alBO eluded
her- pursuers and an unconfirmed re
port had lt that sho damaged the
