Bailey Murder Recalls
Shooting Mysteries OF
Ellis and DR.. Townsend

The shooting of Mrs. Louise Bailey
at F'reeport. l.. l., recalls two other
crimes which, because of the inabil-
ity to find motive, were similar in
this as we'll as many other respects.
One, the shooting of DR.. Charles w.
Townsend, at New Brighton, s L.,
was cleared mp after many months Of
painstaking work by the police and
agency detectives, but the other, the
shooting -of Monroe F. Ellis. promi-
nent banker of Basking Ridge, still
remains a mystery.
Mr. Ellis was shot when at dinner
with his family at their home at
Basking Ridge on the night of No
vember 20. 1911 A shotgun was
poked through a window and both
barrels discharged into his back. He
recovered after many months, but was
never able to give the slightest clew
to the guilty party.
] A. Roebling, wealthy wire manu-
facturer and a friend of Mr.. Ellis,
interested himself in the case He is
said to have spent more than $4,000
in hiring detectives.
The shooting of DR.. Townsend took
place in his home. at Westervelt
avenue, New Brighton, at o'clock
on the morning of January 26, 1907.
His wife was awakened by man
standing at the foot of their bed. Be-
fore she could make an cutlery the in
truder, heavily masked, shot Or.
Townsend three times.
The assailant then climbed out
through the window and disappeared.
DR.. Townsend was taken TO hes-
pital. where he died several days
later He could name no person who
might bear grudge against him, and
was at a loss to account for the crime,

he had no particular man in mind as
the murderer, but he hoped something
might come out when the inquest was
held by Coroner Norton
The district attorney admitted that
he had questioned Mrs. Carman about
the installation of the dictagraph and
that she had admitted to him that she
had had it put in the doctors office
about six weeks or two months ago.
She also admitted. according to Dis
trict Attorney Smith, that she dis
the machine yesterda ymorn-
ing, as she did not want her husband
to know that she had been suspicious
of him. She said that she told her
husband about the machine during
the day.
Mr.. Smith said he did not know
where the investigation would lead
to, bur at the present time he and the
others working on the murder were
utterly without clue.
He was asked If a revolver had
been found in the house. but he would
make no statement as to that
NeIghbors Heard Pistols Discharge.
Inquiry by the authorities establish
ed the fact that some neighbors had
heard the shot from the revolver fired.
These included Mrs. W. W. Black,
who lives next door to the Carmans.
Mrs. Black with her four children
were seated on the veranda at the
time. They thought that the gas
stove in the kitchen of their home had
exploded The time that the shot was
fred was about $50 according to Mrs.
Black.

her movements for the day had been
accounted for The
of Mrs. Bailey had also
been satisfactorily traced.
Mrs. Carman, it was stated by
Levy, would make a state

Doesn't Need a Hoe.

Seine time ago a tramp meekly
tapped on the back door of a subur-
ban home and asked for something
te eat. The good housewife responded
that she would feed him on the back
step along with Fido, provided he
was willing to earn the meal by
cleaning out the gutter.
The tramp agreed, and when he
had eaten his. way through several
sandwiches TO a feeling of happiness,
the housewife came out with a
misunderstanding hoe.
sYou needn't have gone to that
trouble, madam" said the hobo,
sizing up the farm implement. Il

Never use a hoen" said the woman.

CUT DOWN EATING
OLENGTHEN LIFE
People Nearing Old Age Should
Regulate Meals, Declares
Homeopath.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 2.-"Eat
less food and live longer was the
axiom fcv those of mature years, an
nounced by DIR. Edward Beeeher
Hooker, of Hartford, Conn. president
Of the National Society of Physical
Therapeutics, before joint meeting
of that body with the American In
stitute of Homeopathy here.
In furtherance of his contention
that overeating tends to shorten
life, DR.. Hooker urged the founding
OF bureau of dietetics, to study the
relation of food to health and disease.
Medical science has concerned it.
self greatly with the problems of in
fancy and childhood" the speaker de-
clared, and has not given sufficient
attention to the problems of maturity.
After reaching maturity less food is
needed than during the younger and
more active years. Let few people
realize this and continue to eat as
heartily as when young.
Declaring that medical science
must ascertain the causes of high
blood pressure, an energetic ally of
Father Time" DR.. Hooker contin-
ued:
THE treatment of high blood pres
sure is not at present satisfactory.
The main resources at our command
are to decrease the total amount OF
food consumed, If it be excessive,
especially to take away all meats.
Coffee and alcohol are forbidden.
The conservation of sight from an
economic standpoint is Of greater inn
portance than the preservation of
life" declared DIR. a y. North, of New
York, There are $4,000 blind per-
sons in the United States today
continued Dr. North. Their main
tenance costs society over $65, 500, 900
annually. Sightless persons generally
are dependent upon others, therefore
the marriage of persons affected with
eongenital blindness should be pro-
hibited'
