MINEOLA, Oct. 23.-The defense in the trial of Mrs. Carman for the murder of Mrs. Bailey has introduced evidence to substantiate its theory that man killed Mrs. Bailey and that Mrs. Carman had nothing whatever to do with the occurrence. Evidence along this line was introduced today and a very plausible story was told which may yet clear the woman of the crime. The strongest evidence here has been the testimony of the negress who declares that she saw Mrs. Carman with a gun immediately after the shooting and that the latter declared she had shot him." Other wise nothing new had developed up to today.
