Makes Affidayit Public.

prepared" the affidavit of Celia Cole
man, the colored maid in the Carman
home. which she made the day after
the shooting, George NJ. Levy, coun
sci for Mrs. Carman. exhibited the
affidavit last night. He said he was
anxious to show that the document
was written with a lead pencil, indi-
eating that it had been given little
preparation" by him.
The affidavit was a lenghthy one
and covered virtually what the maid
testified to at the inquest into Mrs.
Bailey's death In it she declared
she had seen Mrs. Carman go up
stairs after dinner and that she had
not seen her downstairs again that
night She was in the kitchen wash
ing dishes when the shot was fired,
she said, and directly afterward went
into the kitchen pantry. No one she
said, passed through the kitchen
either directly before or directly after
the firing of the shot.
