signed to increase the allowance made

gated the question of railway mail pay.
A day or so ago the Postmaster-General re-
vised his figures, lifting them TO conform
In large measure to the payment recon-
mcnded by the joint committee
The Moon bill was amended to-day so
as to provide for the higher pay. This
means an increased allowance to the rail
roads OF s3.265.67t year. or a total In
the fiscal year beginning July OF $685.
100000. The Postmaster-Genera strongly
recommended that the Moon bill be passed

Edwin Cnrman two weeks ago to-day
when Mrs. Louise Bailey was shot and
killed there. has told her "ampihed"
story to the Grand Jury In the opinion
Of those who have followed the case
closely II spells Indictment for Mrs.
Florence Carman, wife of the physician,
who is locked in Mineola Jail charged
with murder.
Tho essential part Of the maids testi-
mony as related TO the Grand Jury at
Mineola to-day is that she was in the
kitchen Of the Carman home at the time
Of tho shooting. that she heard the fatal
shot and the commotion in the doctors
sSood stock still in'the kitchen too fright
cned TO move Mrs. Carman came rushing
in from the rear yard
Mrs. Csrman was GREATNESS and ex-
cited. the maid said She did not see a
revolver but she not only saw Mrs. Car
man but spoke to her, and Mrs. Csrman
answered.
Until to-day the maid has been the
strongest bulwark Of the defence. but now
that she has remembered and related TO
the Grand Jury these important things
which she had forgotten at the Coroner's
inquest she has become the strongest wit
ness of the District Attorney.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-07-15
Aspect Of Case Changed.

The theory Of the prosecution has been
that Mrs. Carman slipped out the back
way. went to the window Of the doctors
office, broke IL with the butt Of "A revolver
and then shot Mrs. Bailey; that she then
ran around to the kitchen door or the
other rear door--an entrance into the
house from the automobile drive. about
ten feet from the kitchen door--and got
upstairs 10 time to lead her sister and
mother to believe that the alibl she has
presented as her defence was true one.
Celia Colemans inability to recall that
Mrs. Carman had dashed through the
kitchen was the weakest spot in this the
DRY, and now th< she has corrected her
testimony District Attorney Smith believes
that he has taken the case against Mrs.
Carman out of the realm of circumstan-
tial evidence and is able to present to
jury direct. convincing testimony
The knowledge that the maid had sup
plemented her previous testimony with
statement that she had seen Mrs. Carmar
pass through the kitchen Immediately
after the shot threw CONSERVATION into
the camp of Mrs. Carman's relatives and
advisers. When George NJ. Levy, her at
torney, heard about IL from newspaper
men he raced his automobile over to Nine
ola and rushed in to see the District At
torney. He had conference of possibly
ten or fifteen minutes at which, IL it can
be judged from the expression Of the law
yers face when he emerged he got little
actual knowledge OF what Celia had testi-
fed to-
Levy then visited his client in Jail He
spent more than an hour with her, at
the conclusion of which Mrs. Carman
insisted upon debating statement for
the newspaper men outside She feels that
the weight OF public opinion is against
her and she wanted to swing some Of It
in her own favor.
