Wife of Physician Admits OBJ
tanning Telephone Instrument
to Overhear Talk with His
Patients. but Denies She Was
'HInsanely Jealous"

MiEeOla. y Y, oct 2c-Mls. Flor-
ence Conklin Carman took the witness
stand in her own defense late day
and entered a sweeping denial of the
charge that she murdered Mrs. Louise
Bailey. on which she is being tried in
the Supreme Court here. Item by
item she went over the story of Celia
Coleman, the South Carolina ncgress
in her employ at the time of the trag-
cdy in the Carman home in Freeport
last June and declared false every ac-
cusation made against her by the col
ored domestic in her testimony of yes
terday. \ fabrication from beginning
to end. was in the essence her char
acterization of the maids narrative of
the events of the night Mrs. Bailey
was shot and killed in the office of
Or. Edward Carman husband of the
defendant, and of subsequent happen
iNgs in the Carman home
The story told by the colorcd girl
r:a offered by the prosecution as
riding directly to connect Mrs. Car
nam with the shooting. and the efforts
f Mrs. Carmans counsel to-day in
questioning his client were directed
for the most part to an attempted de-
mo!itlon of the servants testimony
