July 5.-Dr. Edwin CaIman, in whose office Mrs Louise Bailey was murdered last Tuesday evening, was shot at three times to- night as he drove in his automobile through the town of Baldwin, near here. None of the bullets struck him. The doctor was on his way home from Rockville Center, where he had been to attend patient.
 Actor Gsden with Him.
 Dr. Carman in person told the po- lice the story of the attack upon him. He had been out making professional calls all afternoon and passed through Rockville Center on his way home. There he met Garland Gaden, an act or. whom he invited to ride home with him.
 .Gaden accepted my invitation." continued Dr. Carman, and got into the car. We stopped in store and as we again got into the car, small coupe, I noticed man on a bicycle near the curb. We drove off without paying any particular attention to the man
 Thought Tire Had Exploded. When about mile and a half out of the town I heard report and thought one of the tires had exploded. the machine and I got out the other. As soon as put my foot on the ground heard another shot and when I looked around I saw the same man I had seen when we came out of the store, standing beside his bicycle with a shiny revolver in his hand. Gaden | shouted My God, Carman, he's trying ! to kill you
 Bullet Past Ills Head. We both jumped into the car and there was another report and a bull | let went singing by my head. Gaden and leaned far over in our seats so | as to out of range of bullets and 1 opened the throttle as far as it would go"
 Dr. Carman, upon his arrival in Freeport, hurried to police headquar- | ters and told his story. Sheriff Petit quickly dashed to the scene of the shooting in a high powered automo- bile. closely followed by posse. At midnight an automobile full of detee- lives and policemen went to the scene and other detectives were rushed of | to the nearby towns of Baldwin. Rock vile Center and Lynnbrook.
 Bicycle Laoi<s Like Clue. The authorities placed special sig nificaAce upon the fact that the assas- I sin was said to have been riding on a I bicycle. sDiRing the night following bloedhounds were brought into play they eiFeled the CaFman house once and then started off down the same | road on which Dr. CarnaA was re- turning home tonight. The detective who had charge of the hounds at thai time said that they had much difficulty l in following the scent, and expressed the belief that the person whom they were following was riding bicycle.
 Looking for Bullets.
 Detectives before leaving the scene declared that they would exaaliaf l carefully the territory in the vicinity of the shooting to see where the bull lets hit They deflared they wanted to find one of the bullets so that they could compare it with the one thai was extracted from the body of Mrs Bailey.
 A high police official suggested th' possibility that Dr. Carnan might hav'
 been mistaken in believing he wa. the object of a mardeFeus attack. Dr
 Carman, however, was positive in hi statements and Gaden. his cemRanioR confirmed his story.
 | Dr. Carnan in describing the maI
 who fired the shots, said he apRearet
 to be of dark complexion, was dressed
 in dark suit and wore a cap.
