SAW WOMAN JUMP.
New Witness to Testify in Bailey Muir
der Inquest.

Freeport, L. J., July 6.-As matters
now stand all the new evidence collected
has been in the favor of Mrs. Edwin
Carman in relation to the murder OF
Mrs. Louise Bailey in the office of her
husband, DIR. Carman.
II is asserted that when the inquest
is resumed, probably to-day, Mrs Car
mans cook, Celia Coleman, will testi-
fy that she was in the kitchen continu-
ously from the supper hour until after
the shooting, and that nobody passed
through the kitchen.
There was only one other way OF get
ting to the porch and to the window of
the doctors office, and that was through
the front of the house. No one was
seen to pass that way.
Mrs. Carman's mother, Mrs. Platt
Conklin, who is i'll of heart trouble, will
depose that after supper last Tuesday
evening she passed some time on the
porch with her other daughter Mrs. Ida
Powell, and that Mrs, Carman was not
on the porch as Colder, the farm hand,
declared.
And. finally, Mrs. Powell will correct
her testimony of Friday by saying that
sue pdsseu sefeldi minutes oh the PoIch
at the time Colder processes he saw Mrs.
Carman.
These are all strong points for Mrs.
Carman, taken in connection with her
husbands statement in her favor
A witness has been found who says
that he saw a woman run from the Car
man grounds after the shot was fred
that killed Mrs. Bailey. spring into an
automobile whose engines were already
racing and drive rapidly toward Bald
win.
If this story is true it tends to ex-
onerate Mrs. Carman, although it brings
more mystery into an already battling
case.

RELIEF FROM DYSPEPSIA

All conditions ofdepressed vitality Tend
to disturb the processes of digestion.
THERE'S not disturbed condition OF life
that may not affect digestion.
Few causes OF indigestion are so CONS
mon as thin, weak blood. II affects di-
rectly and at once the great processes OF
nutrition. Not only is the action OF the
gastric and intestinal glands diminished
but the muscular action of the stomach
is weakened. Nothing will more prompts
ly restore the digestive efficiency than
good red blood. Without il the normal
activity OF the stomach is impossible.
Thin, pale people who complain Of in-
digestion must improve the condition OF
their blood to find relief. The most
active blood-builder in such cases is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. They make rich,
red blood which quickly restores the di-
gestiye organs to theirproper activity and
the first result is hunger. The dyspeptic
who has hated the sight and smell OF
food now looks forward tomeal time with
anticipation. Care now ia
the selection and quantity OF food will
put the patient well on the road to
health. A diet book, "What to Eat and
How to Eat" will be sent free on request
