FINE FAT HENS
LEFTBY DARKEY
ABOUT A DOZEN AND A HALF
CHICKENS WERE DESERTED
WHEN sToREkEEPERe BROUGHT
PoLIcEMAN's NAME IN DEAL.

Yesterday morning a negro showed
up at Hines Cravey's store, carrying
on his back q lot Of chickens, which
he offered to sell at such a ridicu-
lousy low price that the prospective
purchaser at once became suspicious
that something was wrong He asked
the negro to remain there until "he
could get change from Officer Sim
mons" and that was enough for the
darkey-he left the chickens and
made for the woods, and up to mid
night had not called for the fine fat
fowls.
The negro stated that he was from
what was known as Bears Landing,
and that the fowls were from his own
place. but his actions following the
mention by the groceryman of the Of
f1cers name caused the police to be-
lieve that the entire lot were stolen
fowls, and that the same were filched
from some local roost.
Chief Sanders said last night that
he would keep the chickens al the po-
lice station. and would hold them I'M
til the expected owner should call,
identify them and take the property.
He believes they had been stolen.

leive that the private detectives would
build up case against her on pre-
jured evidence.
DO YOU actually believe" asked a
reporter, that a detective, Or Two OF
three or more detectives would de-

TO convict yOu instead OF seeking to
find the murderer of Mrstl Bailey
Yes, | do she responded emphat
icaIly Those private detectives
would do anything
Did you ever catch Celia Coleman,
| the c"lored mail, in 4 lie?" asked
the reporter.
No replied Mrs. Carman. She
always seemed honest. She was a
very Iutet girl. But Celia had some
trouble with her head. She used to
say mole in her head troubled ner.
Anyhow you cal set Il ColoreG maid
to say almost anything and every
body knows a detective kidnaI ped
ner."
Mrs. Carmau apparently believes
that she was deprived OF her legal
rights when she WAS not allowed 20
go before the grand jury, and TINS

is brought to trial in September.
'Of course l had a right to appear
before -he grand jury she mann
tanned. Their refusal to hear me
was an injustice. Just look who they
kedrd-a coiOred servant and a
trdmp--and they wouldn't hear me"
Continuing, she said
THAT Farrell is unworthy Ct be-
lief. Do YOU think q tramp like MIN
could have seen what he says he saw
ana go o New York and get a case
Of troubled conscience and come back
here and tell the sheriff The idea is
ridiculous"
Mrs Carnlan also protested against
the manner Of her arrest. Sne said
it could have been done quietly, but
was accomplished ina manner rem
lniSCant Of a circus.

Freeport, L. l., July 25.-Convinced
that Mrs. Carmdn cannot be convicted
unless further damaging evidence
against her is introduced, detectives
employed IL the case are industriously
searching for further clues.
In the meantime Mrs. Carman is
enjoying her liberty on BAIL and as
serts her confidence that she Will be
freed when the case comes to trial.
The grand iury'S indictment was
based very largely on the testimony
of Celia Coleman, a negro maid in
the German home who SWore that
shortly after the shooting Mrs. Car
man came into the house in a state
of unusual excitement. While this
testln ony IS probably sufficient to
procure ar indictment, it certainly is
not strong enough to convict.
The statement of Farrell, the
tramp, who said he saw a woman
answering to Mrs. Carman's descrlp-
near the window of the Carman home
through which the shooting was
dore, is also regarded as of little
value so War as procuring a convic-
ton is concerned.
Two other witnesses before the
grand jury whose testimony rrOba-
bly, help rather than injure Mrs. Car
mans case at murder trial are Mrs.
Helen Corky ana DR.. Runcie. Mrs.
Corby. a daughter of Mrs. Ida
Powell. who is d sister of Mrs. Car
man, was at the CaTman lclne on the
night of the murder. She says she
saw nothing to arouse her suspicious
that Mrs. Carman had killed Mrs.
Bailey. DR.. PunCie was the first one
to he called after the shooting of
Mrs Bailey He extra cted tie bullet
from the body of the murdered wO-
man. He says he saw nothing to cause
him to believe that Mrs. Carman had
been responsible for the tlageIy.
Friends Think Her innocent.
The friends and neighbors OF the
Carmans at FreepOrt are almost
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1914-07-26

unanimous in their belief that Mrs.
Carman is innocent. When asked
why, their best answer IS only this:
Florence is not the kind of a woman
who would dc sucn a thing"
The Carrrars' friends agree with
Mrs. CarmanS view, as expressed on
several occasions during the past few
days, that her only fear for the
future is that she may be framed
up by detectives.
To unprecedented persons Who have
followed the case since rs beginning
her sC-callcd fears sound ridiculous.
AS a matter of fact. the unprecedented
ones believe she is a mighty foCtU-
nate woman not to have been let
ed for first-deGree murder, in the
lIesnt of the strong circumstantiaI
evidence and the strong indications
of a motive. But. nevertheless TIE
frame up com .,laiut still persists
both on her part and that of her
friends.
The find of the grand jury Of an
Indictment in So small degree as
that of manslaughter met with bitter
comment from tie relatives ri the
dead woman, mu-h as it Pleased the
Carmans and heir friends. Mrs.
Jennie Duryea, mother 81 Mrs. Bail
ey, said:
'I am ont clamoring for vengeance,
but do not believe this woman should
te allowed to 60 free or get off with

William 3. Bailey, the dead Woman's
husband, SAID:

A real panther story is told in this
weeks issue Of the DeLand News, in
the following:
While returning by auto from Indian
Springs Friday night, Sheriff Smith
and Deputy Jones saw a panther in
the road. The panther was just get
ting ready to sprint upon a nog be-
side the road, when the headlight of
the automobile hit him. He looked
at the car a few seconds, Jumped
along the road two or three times, and
disappeared in the brush. Sheriff and
deputy sheriff were not affected with
panther ague," but neither was look

peared before they had a chance to
shoot. Sheriff Smith, who was born
In the northern part of Volusia coun-

has seen a number of panthers, but
This was the only one he has seen in
many years. The panther is perhaps

from $50 to 900 pounds. Forty years
ago there were many of them in the
woods of Volusia county.

Break at New York.

New York, July 25.-A severe break
occurred at the opel.ing of the cotton
market this morning under weak cables
and reports of further rains over Texas.
First prices showed a decline of Is to
20 points. There was a good deal Of
liquidation by room traders, but it did
not appear that the largest long inter
ests had marketed any considerable
amount of their cotton. After prices
had declined further to within a point
or two of the lowest for the season
there was a sharp rally in which about
half the loss was regained. Part of this
Improvement was on cables Claimin e
that the Servians had decided to ac-
quiesce to the Austrian ultimatum under
protest and also on private reports that
only scattered showers had fallen in
Central Texas, where rain is most
needed.

washington, July 25.-In accord with
a policy Of absolutely neutrality should
the Austrian-Servian crisis develop
into war, any attempt by any Of the
interested powers to purchase Amer
can warships would be promptly re-
jected by the United States, in the
opinion Of officials here today. 1t was
pointed out that the recent sale OF the
battleships Mississippi and Idaho TO
Greece could in no manner serve as a
precedent for further sale of ships to
any European government. Those lat
tSesnips were misfits in the American
navy ard on that account alone con-
gross consented to their sale.
