Florence Conklin Carman murdered
Mrs. Louise Duryea Bailey on the night
OF June 80, In Freeport, were chosen
In the Nassau county supreme court
here. They were chosen rapidly, a typ.

farmers. Only AZ talesmen were ex-
amined.
1t is a stolid, u~nimpressive jury, the
kind which might be expected to do a
lot OF arguing and then disagree. For
the state, District Attorney Lewis j.
Smith asked each talesman whether he
would convict a person Of first degree
murder on evidence which was only
Circumstantial.
Also he sought for traces of bias
and ~preconceived decision, and wanted
to know whether the testimony of a
negro girl-Celia Coleman-would find
as much consideration as the word Of
a white girl.
The wiseacres-and Mineola was
filled with them-shook their heads
Bagely when the trend of the district
