BATH WOMAN
MEETS DEATH
IN FIRE THAT
BURNS HOME
Mrs. Mary Donnell, Age
81, Is Burned to
Death Friday

Bath, Me, July 3.-This morning
during a fire in the Donnell homestead
on Chestnut street, Mrs. Mary Mar
riott Donnell, one of Baths most re-
spected old ladies, was burned to
death, and the sad catastrophe has
cast a gloom over the city. Mrs. DON
nell was in her 91st year and lived
alone.
When the fire was discovered the
neighbors, knowing that Mrs. Donnell
was in the house, made every effort
to rescue her, but the fire had OBJ
tanned such a start that the kitchen
where she was later found was en-
veloped in flames. The body, badly
burned, was found in the small en-
tryway leading from the kitchen. 1t
was beyond recognition. 1t is supposed
that her clothing caught fire when
she was starting her morning fire in
the stove, and from the position where
found, she was evidently trying to
reach the door which opened in.
Coroner Jackson after viewing the
remains decided that death was caus-
ed by accidental incineration.
Mrs. Donnell had been residing alone
for many years, greatly against the
wishes of her immediate relatives, but
she always said that she preferred
her own home. A short time ago when
she was taken sick and she learned
that her relatives were to send a.
nurse to take care of her, she told
them it was not necessary and the
next morning she was up and about
the house. She was remarkable old
lady and among her closest friends
were the young people in the neigh
borhood. She had lived in this city
since child, coming here with her
parents from England. She was the
Oldest member of Wesley M. E.
Church and a charter member of
Sedgwick Circle, Ladies of the G. A.
r. Her husband, John Donnell. died
many years ago. She is survived by
two daughters, Mrs. Maria Woodwork
of Bowdoinham and Mrs. Fred C.
Temple of this city; one sister, Mrs.
Hannah Collins Of Bangor, seven
grandchildren, Blanche and Carrie
Woodwork of Bowdoinham, Mrs. VIII
liam H. Small, John W. and Charles
A. Carr, Mrs. Ernest II. Eaton and
Earl Temple of this city, and four
great grandchildren, Bernice and DON
nell Carr, Raymond and William HI.
Small. Jr., of this city.
The funeral will be held Sunday at
s o'clock from the residence Of Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest II. Eaton, As Chest
nut street.

Washington, July 3.-With Mexican
mediation in recess pending action by
the Constitutionahsts, officials of the
Washington government tonight re-
fused to concede that all chances for
peace had fled. Administration lead
ers held to this optimistic view de-
spite the fact that no definite word had
come from Gen. carranza, first chief
of the Constitutionalists, respecting
the conference with his subordinate
generals over the invitation from the
mediators for his agents to participate
in discussion with Huerta'S represent
atives
Tonigh, Charles A. Douglas, one of
Carranza's counsellers, who has been
chiefly interested in efforts to bring
about the meeting between the Mex
lean antagonists had a long confer
ence with Secretary Bryan. Prior to
this he had conferred for hours with
Rafael Zubarar and Luis Cabrera,
Carranza's chief agents in Washing
ton.
1t was admitted that messages had
been received from Carranza at Sal
tillo, but it was learned these mess
ages asked for further information
about the proposed conference and al
so with relation to the attitude of the
United States. It was intimated that
some assurances We're wanted by the
Constitutionalists as to when the Uni
ted States would retire from Vera
Cruz in the event that the Constitu-
tionaists should agree to a provisional
government pending a Constitutional
election. The general indication was

Freepoft. n. Y, July 3.-For more
than two hours today Mrs. Edwin
Carman, wife of the Freeport physi-
clan In whose office Mrs Louise Bailey,
tie pretty wife of a wealthy New York
manufacturer was mysteriously muir
dered Tuesday night. sat on the wit
ness stand at the coroners inquest
and submitted to al rigid cross-exami-
nation concerning her actions just pri-
OF to the killing, Just after it and at
the moment it occurred. Mrs. Carman
emphatically denied she was on the
perch of her home just before the
murder, that she had walked around
OH the ground floor while Mrs. Bailey
was in her husbands office, or that
she entered the office while the vic
TINS body was still lying on the cor
George Colder, a patient, who had
been waiting to see DR.. Carman on
the night of the murder, swore on the
witness stand that he had seen the
physicians wife do all these things.
When it was suggested that perhaps
Colder had mistaken Mrs. Carman for
her sister, the witness was confronted
with both women and he Immediately
picked Mrs. Carman as the one he had
seen.
Mrs. Carman. at times very nervous,
told substantially the same story she re-
lated the morning aftef the murder to the
district attorney and detectives. This
was that she had gone to her room i'm
mediately after dinner the night of the
murder and, except for space of min
ute, had remained there even when she
heard the tinkle of breaking glass and
the report Of the revolver.

MRS.EDWIN CARMAN
ON STAND FOR FOUR
HOURS AT NY. TRIAL
Wife of Physician in Whose Office Mrs.
Bailey Was Shot Testifies That She
Did Not Enter the Office

She told how she had contracted for the
in her husbands office so she could hear
what he had to say to his women pa
tents and how she had ripped it out the
morning after the murder before she had
clother herself or had her breakfast.
Mrs. Carman also told of spying on
her husband through the same window
the assassin used; of seeing him hand a
nurse, a Mrs. Variance, a 800 bill, and of
watching the nurse kiss her husband on
the cheek. The kiss, she said, caused her
to rap upon the same pane of glass which
killed Mrs. Bailey. And then she went
inside, where she slapped the face of the
nurse, demanded and received the $40 bill
and in turn was warned by her husband
that if she ever repeated the performance
or ever spied upon him again all would
be over between them"
1t had been announced this morn
ing that Mrs. Carman would not be
called upon to testify
After objection to this was made by
her attorney, however the authorities
suddenly decided that it would be bet
ter to call her.
Mrs. Carman's sister. visibly nerv-
Gus, also testified. The other witnesses
were DR.. Carman himself, two pa
TENTS. who were waiting to consult
him and the physicians who perform
ed the autopsy on the body of the
murdered woman. The others under
subpoena will tell their stories when
the inquest is resumed on Monday
morning.
