. Further testimony by other wit
nesses who were in the Carnian
house tends to conhne the case moro
closely to the lines on which the au-
thorities first worked, in spite Of the
declaration on Wednesday by Dis
trict Attorney Smith that the dicto-
graph placed in the doctors Office to
spy upon him had no significance.
Talk in Freeport to-day OF in
activity on the part of District At
torney Smith and OF appealing to-
Governor Glynn and Attorney Gen.
eral Carmody for a special deputy
attorney general to investigate tho
case reused Mr. Smith TO declare
that he had done everything posi-
BILE.
Mrs. Carman went to Hampstead
to-day to see Mrs. Bsiley's body,
and declared, with expressions Of
pity, that she had never seen the
woman before. 4
1 At midnight Sheriff Petit made this
statement:
"lf an arrest is made il will be that
Of woman. We have run down every
clew and are convinced that no man
fired the shot which killed Louise
Pailey. An arrest soon is not improb-
able"
The Sheriff re-enacted last night tho
tragedy with the aid Of DR.. and Mrs.
Carman. This was done to help deter
mine whether the bullet was intended
for DR.. Csrman or Mrs. Bailey.
Police Guard Increased.
The police guard around DR.. Car
mans house, reduced 10 single man
before daybreak this morning, has been
quadrupled. Policemen and officials OF
the county admit that Mrs. Carmsn will
rot be permitted TO leave her home,
should she attempt, unless accompanied
by police officer
Citizens of Freeport cheerfully said
to-day that they did not expect the
District Attorney to make any arrests
unless the evidence was absolutely con-
elusive or he was gosded TO action by
the hostile criticism Of the press.
There is no apparent public feeling
against this attitude of the District At
torney.
Friends will be friends and should
stick by each other" is a motto which
Freeport boasts.
Roland Lamb, President OF the viii
lage. told reporter for The Tribune
tonight he had information that the
petition asking for special deputy
Attorney General TO take Mr.. Smiths
place already had been sent to the
Governor and, as far as he was con-
oerned, he would heartily welcome any
; help in the solution Of this murder,
from whatever source IL came"
Salient among the other develop.
ments of the day were DR.. Csrman's
admission that his wife had made an
attack upon another woman and
Golder's statement, which, besides con-
tradicting Mrs. Carman's story, put the
time of the shooting at least one hour
later than that positively stated by DR..
Carman and DR.. Runcie.
Taken together, they led 70 the psc-
ing of the heavy police guard around
the Carman home and the surveillance
OF the physicians wife.
DR.. Carman was closely questioned
when he drove 10 the Freeport station
in his automobile this afternoon.
Doctor" said a reporter, there is a
story that some time ago your wife
entered your Office while you we're Civ
ing treatment TO a woman patient, and,
| becoming furiously jealous of her, tore
her hair and slapped her face. Is that
true?" And the reporter mentioned the
name current in the village story.
! Carman hesitated before he answered
and looked around, apparently for some
mode OF escape.
"You have got that wrong" he re-
Piled. THAT was not her name"
But did she assault a womsn Of
whom she was jealous in your presence
and in your office?" persisted the re-
| porters.
"Well. there was a row-there was
/ some trouble but the woman my wife
/ had the trouble with was not the one
/ you named. | cannot discuss that now.
I and | am not going TO tell you any
I thing further about il at this time. IL
will all come out at the inquest.
Csrman Changes His Story.
Before this DR.. Csrman had repcsted
his story OF what happened on the
night OF the shooting, not varying
from the accounts he already had
given. At this interview his first re-
mark OF Importance was:
at is not true that my wife told me
that she had a dictograph established
in my Office did not know there was
dictograph in my home until the
Sheriff came around with Assistant
District Attorney Weeks last night and
told me about IL. My wife had said
nothing before TO me on that subject"
Sheriff Petty told the reporters
