by Sheriff Petit
Late tonight George A. Levy. her

would waive all her claims TO i'm
munity ana take the stand at the
hearing Monday to "vindicate herself"
He announced that he had an affidavit
from George Colder. in which Colder
retracted everything OF Importance. TO
which he had testified at the inquest.
His testimony was regarded as i'm
portant.
The arrest Of Mrs. Carman this al
tcrnoon is the last Of series OF dra-
matte happenings since Mrs. Bailey,
wife Of William d. Bailey, was shot
to death in the office OF Or. Carman
Tuesday evening, June 30.
Suspicion was first directed 10 the
accused woman when the discovery
was made, the day after the murder.
that she had secretly installed a dicto.
graph in DR.. Csrman's office. so that
she might overhear his conversations
with women patients.
Since that discovery the work Of IN,
county and village authorities has
steadily woven mass OF circum.tan-
tisl evidence around her. Not until the
inquest to-day was enough brought out

attention when Smith. leaning forward.

Carman lawn following the shot Tues

The auditors strained their ears even
more when the brief replies of the new
witness patched together made this
story.

window through which the bullet that

she wore a dark skirt and a light
waist. She was five feet seven inches.
think. in height. She might weigh
l50 or i6o pounds. She walked slowly
TO the rear Of the house"
Like q fash the realization came to
that crowded courtroom that the de-
scription he gave OF the woman he saw
was a good description Of Mrs. Edwin
Carman; also the realization that the
county authorities had finally obtained
the evidence they had been waiting
before srresting the physicians wife.
and believed they had found the woman
who fired the bullet through Or. Car
mans window.
