 an investigation into the murder of Mrs.
 Louise Bailey. who was killed mysterl-
 ously in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman last Tuesday night. This detective is in the employ of the Nassau county authori- ties and 10 men from his office are work ing on the case.
 After the chief had inspected the grounds and the Carman house he re- turned to the lawn and the murder was rehearsed. Later the chief returned to the house to resume his examinations there
 The inquest into the murder of Mrs. Bailey was abruptly adjourned today
 until Wednesday. This action was taken
 to give the authorities a chance to in- vestigate several new cews and to look
 into the story told last night by Dr. Car
 man. who informed the police that a bicyclist who had followed his automo- bile from Rockville Center. near here, had fired three shots at him while he was driving along lonely stretch of road.
 Unknown Witnesses It was learned later from Sheriff Petit that after it had been decided to adjourn
 the inquest two witnesses, whose Identity
 the sheriff refused to disclose. had been
 brought into the Elks club. where they
 underwent an examination lasting over
 an hour, behind locked doors. The sher-
 If refused to discuss his conversation
 with these witnesses, further than to
 say that their statements were of the
 highest importance.
 Four persons living near the spot where
 Dr. Carman said the attempt was made
 upon his life told investigators today
 that they, too, had heard shots Detec-
 tives were unable however, to find any
 one who had heard the shot which J. W. Half. Jr., a resident of Lynbrook, a neighboring village. said was fired at him early today while he was driving his automobile outside Freeport. Half who resembles Dr. Carman in figure and face, is the owner of an automobile of a type similar to one of the several owned by the physician.
