 Wife to the Mineola Jail Declared s His Belief in Her Innocence and Confidence in Her Acquittal. # Mineola, l.. T., July 9.-It is not at all certain that there will be enough evidence for a grand jury indictment against Mrs. Florence Carman, charged with the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey and yesterday com mitted to the county jail awaiting an examination on the charge. This was the opinion Assistant District Attor- ney Weeks expressed today. Mrs. Carman's case was expected to come Hup before the grand jury late today but, according to Mir. Weeks, there was little likelihood of an indictment. The number of witnesses to be exam ined would preclude this possibility today.
 Predicts Her Discharge.
 ''It is not unlikely said the assist ant district attorney that when Mrs. Carman appears on Monday be- fore Coroner Norton, who will then be acting in the capacity of justice of the peace, she will be discharged" At that time, Mrs. Carman's attorney < will have a right to cross-examine the witnesses who testify against the prisoner.
 ss pr. Carman, who has come to Min- cola for the day, found his wife in , better spirits when he visited her in jail She seemed to have recovered her composure, and to be less ner- vous. ~
 Prison Physician Called.
 After her husband left Mrs. Car man broke down and her condition became so acute the prison authori- ties called in the staff physician. She twas taken to the warden's office. where she became quieter after seda- tives had been given her. She re- 4 fused however. to go to bed. Y George Levy, attorney for Mrs. Car 1. man, said today that he had discov- cred two new witnesses whose testi- nony he considered extremely valu- able. He also said he had informa- tion that two of the witnesses whose ,1 testimony had been instrumental in causing the arrest of Mrs. Carman, had been far from the Carman home at the time of the murder.
 Two Men Arrested.
 Meyer Newman, alias Duke De Leon, was locked up here today charged with carrying pistol A ; ssrevolver was found on him.
