NEW WITNESS APPEARS
Has Tale of Woman Who Would Pay $50 to Have Revolver Brought to Her On pr. carman's Lawn.

Freeport. N. Y- July 7-The grand jury will begin it's investigation of the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in Mineola, the county seat. on Thursday District Attorney Smith announced to- night. He added that he would de- mand that an indictment charging murder be returned against a woman whom he said he was positive was the person who just a week ago broke a window pane in the office of Dr. Ed win Carman and fired a bullet into the heart of Mrs. Bailey, there for a consultation.
 Upon what evidence the demand for the indictment would be based the district attorney would not say. He admitted, however, there was a possi- bility the grand jury might not heed his demand because of lack of sufh- cient evidence.
 T believe, thoughs' he went on that the indictment will be returned. If the unexpected should happen the evidence at hand now and any new facts that may be discovered will be presented to the next grand jury. I intend to have this woman indicted if have to present the evidence to every grand jury that meets in Nassau County for the next ten years
