"Well, they got me all upset ct the
inquest" he replied.
"Did Mr.. Levy tell you that your
testimony had injured Mrs. Csrman z?
"Yes; he explained that to me and
got me to sign a paper
"Did any one pay you anything Tor
finding out about your mistake
"No; no one had given me cent.
The District Attorney didn't even give
me carfare to go there and TESTIFY"
"Who was it you saw on the porch
Tuesday evening when you went TO
DR.. Carman's Office! y .,
81 know now that it was Mrs. Powell
Tod PowelPs wife"
"How was it, though, when Mrs.
Carman and Mrs. Powell both stood
before you, that you pointed Mrs. Car
man out Immediately as the woman
you had seen both on the porch and
passing through the dining room" =
the reported asked.
81 Just amt dedicated, that's how |
came 10 make the mistake"
Frank Farrell, alias Collins, tramp,
who had been a frequenter Of various
refreshment places in Freeport for sew
eral days and had talked much around
town about his knowledge of the Car
man case, was held in $1,000 bail to-
day as material witness.
The authorities do not place any
confidence in his story, but the man
was held merely as precaution. He
has said that on the night when Mrs.
Bailey was shot he went TO the kitchen
of DR.. Carman's house and asked for
a "hand-out." He was refused and
ordered to move along. As he did so,
he said, he noticed q woman walk
around the corner OF the kitchen and
then heard the shot.
The report circulated through this
town tonight that DR.. Carman was
examined to-day by Sheriff Petit and
District Attorney Smith. According
to this report, the bullet which ended
the life Of Mrs. Bailey had struck her
while she was lying on couch in the
doctors office, as was shown By its
downward course.
DR.. Carmsn denied the truth of the
report. 81 have not seen the District
Attorney nor Sheriff Petit to talk to
to-day" he said.
"Have the Burns detectives been to
the house to-day"
Eyes, they came and looked around
the house"
The Csrman family spent a quiet
day, with the exception Of the doctor,
who was busy engaging detectives and
arranging for counsel in case of a
trial. He also spent nearly two hours
with his wife in the Mineola jail The
condition of Mrs. Conklin, Mrs. Car
mans mother. continues TO be serious.
Whether Mrs. Carman will go before
the grand jury is a question for the
Jurors themselves to decide. She will
not be sworn il she appears, and she
will gain no immunity.
Clarence II. Macksy, the most prom
inent member of the Nassau County
Grand Jury, is not expected to sit in
this case. Seventeen jurors only are
necessary under the law to hear the
testimony, but eleven votes are re-
CURED to indict.
Despite DR.. Carman's denial tonight
that he had engaged outside counsel
10 defend Mrs. Carman, il is fact
that negotiations are under way to Sc
cure William Travers jerome as trial
counsel in case Of an indictment.
Cri,icises Mrs. Carmsn's Arrest.
George Wallace, former president Of
this village, issued the following state
ment this afternoon:
at is currently stated that all the
evidence thus far obtainsble has been
published in the papers. II so, the ar
rest of Mrs. Carmsn was an outrage
ard could not be Of any possible SER
vice 10 the state.
There has been little IL any testi-
mony yet offered in this case which
has the dignity of evidence. II sub
mitted at a trial, the court would be
compelled to direct a verdict Of ac-

"If Mrs. Csrman did the shooting, q
revolver with at least one empty
chamber would be found on the prem
ises. No one claims that she left the
premises at any time. A very close
search was made for a revolver, and
IL would have been found IL she did
the shooting. A fair inference is that
whoever did the shooting took the pis-
toll away with him. A witness has at
last been found who says he saw n
woman 10 from the window just after
the shooting 70 the rear part Of the
premises. Mrs. Ida Powell, who lives
in the house, testified that she did that
very thing. Why was che not ar
