necessary. Until those are over II is
impossible to say what will happen
District Attorney Smith did not
reach Freeport until late IN the night.
/ When ne finally came he explained that
/ he had been detained on business. Mr..
Smith then went to DR.. Carman's resi-
dence and it was fully two hours later
when he came out and said he had 4
statement to give the press.
81 have talked with DR.. Carman, Mrs.
Carman and every member OF their
household" he began, "and ] want to
state here positively that their ex-
plantations of every occurrence l nave
found entirely satisfactory. They have
had a sound and reasonable and believ-
able explanation for everything. Abso-.
lutely no suspicion can attach TO any OF
them. They entirely exonerated them
! selves from all blame. ! am convinced
that neither they nor anybody connect
ed with them have had anything to do
with this murder"
/ After much more talk of the same
general kind Mr.. Smith said: at has
been reported that both DR.. and Mrs.
: Carman had automatic revolvcrs. After
a careful search ] have found this Is
not true. The only revolver found
was an old rusty .32-calibre pistol. Mrs.
Carman did not have pistol Of any
kind.
"An autopsy now will hardly be nee
| cssary. There will be an inquest to-
morrow, but it will be held in the after
/ noon instead Of in the morning.
81 am at an utter loss 10 explain the
shooting Of Mrs. Bailey. The only
theory | can see is that it was done by
maniac. There was no reason for any
/ ones wishing to end her life or DR..
| Carman's. / want you to recall that the
/ doctor has done much work in the in
sane asylums. and il is entirely posi-
BILE that an escaped lunatic may have
tried to take his life"
/ The District Attorney had hardly
/ finished his statement when George NJ.
Levy, counsel for DR.. Carman, IA young
attorney. directly contradicted part of
IL by saying that 22-calibre automatic
revolver had been found in Mrs. Car
mans room.
Mr.. Bailey motored over to see DR..
I Carman yesterday. The former pumped
question after question at the physi-
elan until he Rad got the detailed story
end then expressed himself as Deing
satisfied with DR.. Carmans conduct.
At his homp in Hampstead Mr.. Bailey
broke down again. He repeated over
and over again that he bad never had
any reason to mistrust his wife that
/ he never had and never would. He was
particularly indignant over certain
statements published in the morning
papers and declared he would make
| them suffer IL it cost him his entire
! fortune.
"Can't you let US alone!" Mrs. Dur
year. Mrs. Baiiey's aged mother cx-
claimed, when. reporters sought 10
question her. 81 can't tell you any
thing. but il Is not true that DR.. Car
man was an entire stranger 20 my
daughter. In = way he was a family
physician, for he had attended other
| relatives Of hers and there was moth
ing wrong or unusual in her going TO

his wife had been injured. He kept on
