MOTHER OF SLAIN WOMAN ON
STAND IN CARMAN TRIAL


MineoIa, L. l., Oct. 20.-That jeal-
ousy was the motive Mrs. Florence
Carman had in Staying Mrs. Louise
Bailey was the opening statement
made to the jury today by Dist Atty
Smith in his outline of the case.
The prosecutor laid special stress
on the photograph found in the Car
man home. He told the jurors how
Mrs. Carman, suspicious of the doc
tor, had taken the photograph on trial
under an assumed name and later
had purchased it outright, saying she
was perfectly satisfied with it.
Mrs. Carman's movements on the
night of the murder were described.
Smith told how Celia Coleman, the
negro maid, saw Mrs. Carman come
downstairs, clad in kimOnO just be-
fore the fatal shot was fired, how she
went outside and then returned just
a few seconds after a shot was fired
and how she went back upstairs.
Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mother of the
slain woman, was the first witness.
She had been on the stand but few
wept. Court procedure had to be
stopped temporarily until she recoV-
cred herself.
The district attorney asked her
when she last her daughter.
"On the night of June 3d." she
said.
You never saw her again." asked
the prosecutor.
NO" answered Mrs. Duryea and
as she spoke she burst forth sobbing.
Had Mrs. Florence Carman been
assured that her trial on charge of
murder was a mere fOrmality and
that she would be free woman with
in few days, she could not have
shown less concern or anxiety than
was displayed today when the taking
of testimony began.
The jury completed within five
hours yesterday, it was expected that

of Mrs. Louise Bailey, dominates the
entire courtroom. Not an attorney
raises his voice above a soft parlor-
conversational tone. When one or
two talesmen answered questions
yesterday in a loud, firm voice they

O'Clock, but they don't. There is no
rude craning Of necks and shuffling
of feet as spectators shift and squirm
to obtain a better view of the at
tractive defendant or turn an ear that
the words of counsel may be heard
to better advantage.
The courtroom was crowded to ca
pacity, but all caught the spirit of the
occasion and remembered their man
ners. And it was not an eXtraordin-
airy crowd that was packed in the
courtroom. The people were just
the ordinary garden variety that you
meet every day. But in the center
of that big room is the control of
the entire throng. That control is
Mrs. Carman, severely correct, smil-
ing when it is proper to smile, stiff
fly dignifed when it is in time to be
dignifed, and, above all, calm, cool

man has any fear for her life she
doesn't show it.
In the white nigh-ceilinged court
room she sits beside DR.. Carman and
her counsel as she might sit as the
leader of a social function. Her smile
is always the same. When it is time
to smile, you know just how far Mrs.
Carman's lips will part, just how
much of twinkle there will be in her
eye, and to just the extent the smile
will be permitted to crease wrinkles

A Countrywide Demand.

SOuutry-W lde Deman0.
The American-Press has pub.
lished comments from a score OF
Louisiana newspapers commend
ing its suggestion that some form
of responsible government be
given the parishes in place of
the negligent and irresponsible
police jury system, and not one
defender of the present system
has appeared. The following
from the New York Tribune
shows that the demand for better
business methods in county units
is really nation wide:
The Short Ballot Organiza-
ton wants to reorganize county
administration in this State out
side of New York City on the
commission government" plan.
1t will advocate legislation for
the election in each county of
three supervisors, instead of the
present cumbersome boards, and
these three will have power to
hire a county manager, who will
have power to appoint other Off
Gals necessary. Urging some
reorganization of cornty affairs
along this general line, the Utica
Observer, pointing out the gen.
eral inadequacy of the present
system, declares that at least
$50, 600 could be saved annually
in Oneida county by such a read
justment of the county machin-
cry.
"A large board of supervisors
is a highly expensive luxury for
a county, and various jobs now
existing in most counties could
be easily omitted with benefit to
everybody but the job holders.
The taxpayers suffer; the public
business suffers freq uently. |
There is no real reason WHY the
commission idea, or some variant |
If it. could not be applied to
county affairs with the same sue
less it has achieved in municipal
administration"
Louisiana gets its secret" be !
ot-or what passes for a secret

mission form of government from
Texas, its legal code from France,
md its primary system of max
ng nominations from somewhere
Use. Now, it has a chance to
naugurate something itself, if
IS legislature will rise to the &C.
aston. The State has certainly
lad enough horrible examples of
he evils of police jury govern
nent recently, to make it ready
o try almost anything else. Ger
ainly nothing could be more
and expensive and gen.
rally unsatisfactory as it has
'een proven to be by official re-
'orts. -American-Press.
