case. did not tell the District Attor-
ney or the authorities when they talked
with me that Mrs. Carman had revealed
her secret to me, because they did not

"The next day, in my presence, Mrs.
Carman told DR.. Carman about the
photograph. DR.. Carman, after she had
told him about it, said he considered it
very foolish thing"
DR.. Runcie On Saturday told Trib-
une reporter, in the presence of two
witnesses, that he was DR.. Carman's
intimate friend. To-day, however, he
changed this by saying that he had
known the doctor for only about
three years. In that time he had been

Has Not Told Smith.
DR.. Runcie said he had not vet off,
cially notified District Attorney
Smith of Mrs. Carman's admission.
Describing the incidents after DR..
Carman called him from his home, DR..
Runcie said:
II ran out Of the house, and il was
light enough for me to see Archie
Wallace in his car hurrying DR.. Car
mans father-in-law home. Archie had
his lamps lighted, though it was light
enough. l yelled jokingly at him, Get
out of my way' and, when / ran across
DR.. Carman's lawn to the side door in
the. path Of the car, In my way
again?
"You remember Archie testified that
the glare of the lamps of his car fell
on negro girl on DR.. Carman's side
porch.
"What I've said Axes the time. DR..
Carman called me not before $3.50
o'clock, and ! got over to his office
about 1885 o'clock. | went into the
office. DR.. Carman was alone in there
with the body. 1t was lying on the
lounge. Blood was still oozing from
the mouth. / asked him what it all
meant. He told me what had happened
and that he had sent Archie for Davey
Bedell to identify her.

81 found Mrs. Carman upstairs in
her room with her mother, Mrs. Conk-
lin, and her sister, Mrs. Powell. Mrs.
Carman had on her kimono. There is
no doubt about that, and I'll tell you
how | know-it was q flmy garment
and l could see her bare legs. Every
body was excited and upset. Mrs. Car
man said, Isn't this terrible? Whatll
we ever do?'
Il tried to calm the women, and I
said, Mrs. Carman, don't you worry;
you aren't to blame if any one gets
shot in your husbands Office.
FINALLY Mrs. Carman, in her
wrought-up state, exclaimed: They'll
find downstairs-'
What? asked, The dictograph. ,

grow calm and went on, Doctor, have
