Prosecutor Hints New
Evidence Is Big Aid
to States Case.
WOMAN PRISONER
STRICKEN IN CELL
Protests Innocence of Bailey
Murder-SleuthS Shadow
Husband of Accused.

Without discussing the case in de-
tail, District Attorney Louis J. Smith
of Nassau County created the impress
sion yesterday that the states evidence
against Mrs. Florence {. Carman, which
led the grand jury to indict her for
murder in the first degree on the charge
of shooting Mrs. Louise Bailey, is much
stronger than anything that has come
to light SO far in the Frecport murder
case.
There is reason to believe. though the
District Attorney would not say 80.
that he has in his possession re-
volveT which the state will allPge Is
the one with which Mrs. Bailey was
shot. The missing revolver was the
strongest link lacking IN the develop.
ment Of the states case prior to the
arrest of Mrs. Carman and her previous
indictment for manslaughter.
II was learned that one Of the re-
cent witnesses furnished damaging teS-
timony in regard to the revolver. 1t
was reported that it was seen in the
Carman house in fact. in the office
Of DR.. Carman and that shortly after
the murder it was taken 70 the barn
and hidden beneath the carriage drive.
The authorities, however would not
admit that the revolver story WAS true.
Mrs. Carman's condition Yesterday
neceSsitated the attendance Of Or. Guy
j. Clcghorn, the prison physician.
After he had spent an hour with her in
the county jail at Mineola he declared
that she had experienced severe ucr-
vOus breakdown, and he advised that
she should not be allowed to talk with
any one about her case. except her hus
band and counsel. He said that II
would be fully month before she
would be able to appear iu court.
District Attorney Smith made appll-
cation yesterday to the Appellate ri
vision for a special term Of the SU-
preme Court at Mincola in October m
order to try Mrs. Carman prior TO the
next regular term IN December.
Dr. Edwin Carman, husband Of the
defendant, said yesterday that if any
revolver had been found on or about
his place in Frecport he had not been
informed Of It, He said he did not
believe ono had been found. and " II
had there was no warrant for saying
