MRS. CARMAN
MAY Be FREED
Continued from First pase.)


that no faovrs will be shown to Mrs.
carman in the Jail, nobody believes
the statement. Mrs. Carman was due
a. the breakfast table at o'clock,
but at that hour she was still asleep.
Mrs Hulse went to her cell but did
not disturb her.
Mrs Hulse was ready to lead Mrs.
Carman to breakfast of oatmeal,
coffee and bread. This is the prison
bill of fare nearly every morning Oc-
casionally little fruit is served.
Mrs. Carman has the right to send
out for food. or have her relatives
bring delicacies to her. DR.. Carman
is expected at the prison any minute
and it is believed he will make ar
rangements with a restaurant to sup
ply her with whatever she wants.
1t is believed that Mrs. Carman could
net accustom herself to the prison
fare.
1t was stated at the prison today
that no one will be permitted to Sc
Mrs. Carman until next Monday, ex-
cept the prosecuting officials, her
counsel. George M. Levy and her hus-
band. On Monday Mrs. Carman will
be formally arraigned before Coroner
Norton, who will then sit as a COM
hitting magistrate, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Bailey.
Now Held without Bail.
She is now held without bail. In
asmuch as Mrs. Carman is a prisoner
charged with murder, District Attor-
ney Smith will not present a case
against her to the grand jury as he
had intended. He will let the mat
ter of returning an Indictment rest
until after she is formally arraigned
before Mr.. Norton.
Mrs. Carman is occupying an upper
cell of the prison. There is win
dow in the cell which gives a view of
the easterly part of the town. The
prison is picturesque structure with
fifteen-foot wall. Ivy vines cover
the wall on both the inside and the
outside. The jail is behind the Court
House and within sight of the old
fair grounds, where Mrs. Carman had
often been conspicuous figure at the
country fairs and racing matinees.
Mrs. Carman will be treated just
the same as the other prisoners, said
Warden Hulse today. my wife. the
matron, will look after her. 1t is per-
missible for her to obtain her food
from outside sources If she wishes.
All prisoners have that right. 1t is
only those who have suffered con-
viction who are not granted this
privilege"
1t was stated at the prison that
upon being put in her cell Mrs. Car
m;tl inspected it carefully, felt the
little cot, as If to determine whether
1t was comfortable, and then sat down
on 1t. 1t was then that she declined
an offer of magazines.
May Retain Prominent Lawyer.
While Mr.. Levy Is representing
Mrs. Carman in her difficulties it is
reported here today that a prominent
New York lawyer well known for his
practise of criminal law will be re-
tanned, and that he may be on hand
to represent her with Mr.. Levy upon
her arraignment on Monday.
DIR. Carman, 1t Is known, has ex-
pressed confidence IN the innocence
of his wife, and has told friends that
he will spend every dollar ne pos
sesses to obtain her yindication. while
her father. Platt Conklin, said his
fortune will be placed at her dis
posal.
Friends of the two today cite two
matters in the investigation OF the
crime which they consider OF para
mount Importance and which they
saw fail to prove that Mrs. Carman
was involved. One is the failure OF
the authorities to obtain the revolver
with which the shooting was done,
| and the other is the fact that EiWooo
] T. Bardes, the insurance agent, whose
story led to the arrest OF MRS. Gar
man, failed to identify her as the
woman he had seen at the WINDOW.
The eyewitness to the shooting who
| told his story yesterday was Edward
T. Bardes, an insurance agent, who
| boards at AZ Bedell street, Freeport
! He said that he heard the crash o.
the glass in the window and heare
| the sound Of the shot
| Although the witness had seen be
| fire a woman whom he thought TO bt
| Mrs. Carman, he would not identity
| her as the woman he saw on tns
| night of the shooting. Her back was
| turned to him when he saw her OF
! Tuesday night. He described mel
| dress accurately, however, ana 'n'
| description corresponds with that o.
| the dress Mrs. Carman wore tina
night. He also said that the WON
| ans hair was light. Except Tor tn'
| few gray strands in it, Mrs Carman
| hair has an almost golden hue.
THE testimony of Bardes came al
| the climax of the inquest. Barde'
told of walking in the direction OF the
| carman house on the night OF tn'
shooting. He said that he wanted Z
consult the physician about an all
rnent, and when he arrived near tn'
house he was not decided as K
whether or not he would make tn
| visit. Therefore he walked some dis
lance east on the Merrick road pas
the Carman house. Then he decided
he would not see the physician ans
