NO NEEDoF TEETH

To advertise his business, dentist
recently offered to fit with false teeth
the twelve aged women in poor cir
cumstances who were the first to ap-
ply to him.
The earliest applicant on the ap-
pointed day was an old lady in faded
bonnet, who was politely shown into
the consulting room. Scarcely had
she seated herself, however, than a
red-faced old man presented himself
at the door and gruffly announced
that he'd come abart them teeth"
You're making a mistake" the
dentist told them. 81 only agreed to
fit twelve ladies with teeth. There's
an old woman inside waiting treat
ment now"
aye, an it's her I'm after" the old
man grimly replied. "Tell her that
her husbands waitin' for her, and
that she's to come back home at
once, or there'n be a rumpus. She's
got an appetite like horse as it is,
and if We fits her up WI strong set
O. grinders she'll eat both herself and
me into the workus in fortnit! Send
her out this instant, tells yer"
And out the crestfaIlen old lady,
still toothless, had to come.

CAMERAS CLICK AS CROWD
SURROUNDS CARMAN HOME

Throughout the day crowds of Gu
rious persons from New York and the
towns surrounding Freeport visited the
Carman home. The double holiday OF
the Fourth and Sunday, coupled with
the inviting weather, brought even
more than the usual number of auto
mobilsts out, and most OF them made
it point to get glimpse at the scene
of the tragedy.
Many of them stopped in front of the
house for moment or two. and some
expressed their desire to walk about
the spacious grounds TO get a better
idea of how the murderer could pos
sibly escape without being seen. Po-
licemen stationed around the house
kept the inquisitive ones off the lawn
and prevented them from lettering too
long in the street.
The sightSeers were not confined to
those who could come by automobile.
Farmers with their families in carry
alls, those who walked into town and
those who came by train were also TO
be seen. They stood on the sidewalk
and mannuvred about TO get better
glimpse of the Office where Mrs. Bailey
was killed. All debated the various
phases of the tragedy and specialized
on the probabilities of an arrest.
"Freeport is on the map is the way
most of the local inhabitants sum the
situation up. Regardless OF the out
come. the village has enjoyed wave
of prosperity that is more than well
come. The tragedy mas brought hun
dreds OF sightseers, who stopped long
enough to get a good glimpse Of the
town, and several scores Of reporters,
who have been glad to adopt Freeport

with its cool breezes as a temporary
home.
The Carman house is on the Merrick
Road, one Of the principal thorough
fares of Long Island and directly on
the course Of a large part of the auto
mobile travel. 1t is surrounded by a
large lawn and trees that would have
served as the setting for several small
family picnics during the day had it
not been for the forbidding look of the
policemen. One car, filled with four
women. two men and two children,
stopped on the curb while the occu-
pants discussed the case. A large bulg-
ing lunch basket fastened on the run
ming board seemed to be the centre Of
attraction with the children, while the
Older people discussed the attractive
ness of the grounds. Finally they de-
clded to seek some other place where
the guardians of the law were not so
unpleasantly apparent.
The Carman house was photographed
from every angle possible from the
sidewalk. Pleas TO the policemen TO be
allowed to go up on the lawn lust
once to get picture of the window
through which the shot was fired"
ayalled nothing. Orders" the officers
responded Some of the throng loi-
tered about the opposite side Of the
street, hoping that either DR.. Carman
or Mrs. Carman would leave the house
for ride. but they were disappointed.
Mrs. Carman did not show herself even
at window, and only once during the
day did the doctor leave the house.
Then he got in his machine in the
garage and drove out before the crowd
was aware who had passed them.

BERKMAN TELLS
OFCARON'SCAREER
Dead Agitator Was a Mechanical
Engineer. but Unsuccessful
in Profession.

After leaving the East 104th ST. po-
lice station yesterday afternoon, Alex

career t. Tribune reporter:
Arthur Caron," he said. was an in.
telligent and educated man. He was q
mechanical er eineer and a graduate Of
the Massachus Institute of Tech
nology. He was not successful in his
profession and finally became a mere
machinist. He was firm believer IN
unionsm at one time and was active
in organizing the men in his trade.
Later he lost his mother. his wife aud
his only child within a few months OF
each other, and this made him deter
mine to spend the rest of his career ia
working for the emancipation OF me
laboring class.
Hansen was a carpenter by trade,
but had been out Of work for several
months. He had been identified with
the Ferrer School for more than yea.
He was a quiet, reticent man, OF .!
genial disposition. Berg had wor soy
at various occupations. AT one umes
he was piano finisher. He was
friend of Caron and used TO be in his
company almost constantly"
In the pockets Of Caron were found
two lunches of skeleton keys, attaches
to which were two brass tags. On
each tag was stamped the name ~. X.

numbers 1888 and 1893. respectively.
Berkman said that he did not know any
person named Sturtevant, nor did he
know of any connections which Carc1
had in Hyde Park.

well. Her testimony will be that she
sat for a time on the piazza with her
other daughter, Mrs. Powell.
"Mrs. Carman feels very III to-day.
She thought her story on the stand
would convince every one OF her lack
of connection with Mrs. Bailey's death.
That it has failed to do so has been
great disappointment
"She has told her story fully and
frankly. She has admitted everything
about the photograph, concealing moth

William D. Bailey said in Hemp

the manner IN which some OF the Off
Gals were working on the case. He
added emphatically:
This murder has got to be cleared
up. | will never rest until it is, but

The funeral of Mrs. Bailey was held
tonight in the Bailey home. Mrs.

Hampstead cemetery early tomorrow

Freeport was town of rumors to-
day. Between the rumors and the
Fourth Of July celebration--an Free
porters are not believers in the safe
and sane idea--the town was kept on
edge.
Automobile parties came from all
parts Of the state and from New Jersey

snapped pictures Of the house--or what
they thought to be the Carman house,

should be observed, and so District At
torney Smith treated himself to q par

The chief subject OF conversation in
Frecport households to-day was the
bearing of Mrs. Carman on the stand
at the inquest on Friday. Her testi-
mony already had been discounted.
Few people here know Mrs. Elizabeth
Variance, the nurse whom the physi-
clans wife attacked after she had seen
Dr. Carman hand her SIS in bills in his
Office. But the few who do know her
expressed the greatest amazement that
Mrs. Carman should have been jealous
Of her. The kiss" which Mrs. Carman
says the nurse implanted upon her hus-
bands cheek, they say with amusement,
could have been nothing but purely
platonic one, prompted by feeling Of
gratitude.
Mrs. Variance. they point out, has a
son more than twenty years old. Her
life has been one of drudgery, which
has left its marks upon both her face
and figure. At the Elks' Club. where
masculine Freepcrt gathers in the
evening 10 discuss the happenings Of
the day. the fact that woman of Mrs.
Carman's education and intelligence
could have been jealous of the nurse
made n marked impression. Had she
herself not admitted this jealousy I'M
der oath il would not have been be-
lieved in Freeport.
The villagers arc still marvelling at
Mrs. Carman's sclf-control. Shortly
before leaving her home to take the
witness stand she made a statement, in
which she said frankly that she realized
circumstances had made her a suspect
George VI. Levy, her counsel, has not
hesitated 10 say the same thing even
more strongly. Yet she gave her testi-
mony as calmly and as coolly as though
her connection with the case was en-
tirely impersonsl.
It was recalled time after time to-

This find has led 10 the belief that the

FREEPORT PAYS TRIBUTE.
TO MRS. CARAVANS NERVE

day that only once did her iron con-
troll weaken. That was when she was
going over the scene in the doctors
Office when she faced Mrs. Variance
and struck her with the backs of her
fingers. Involuntary her expression
grew tense, her teeth clenched. She
was more of the primal woman than
Freeport had ever before seen her.
Even after the lapse Of weeks it was
plain that she could not go over that
episode without living it in part,
without feeling some OF the emotions
she then felt.
While amaZement and amusement
predominated in the discussion Of
what is frequently called her foolish
Jealousy" OF Mrs. Variance, there is no
lack Of genuine sympathy for Mrs. Car
man in the position in which she now
finds herself. This has been shown by
the constant calls her friends have
made upon her TO express their sym
pathy and their attempts TO show il
by gifts Of flowers and fruit.
Mrs. Carman's family and her clos
est friends assert that Mrs. Carman's
self-control is a tribute to her superb
courage and not indicative of any lack
Of feeling. They say that she has
suffered acutely; that her health is
giving way under the continued
strain: that she has frequently been
hystericsl in her own home, and that
only 10 the world does she present a
nonchalant appearance.
Mrs. Carmsn. however, still pre-
sents picture Of perfect health. She
is not pale, her color is good. her eyes
show no signs of sleeplessness or
tears. her step is elastic and her voice
is firm. Her troubles have not made
her careless Of her personal appear-
ance. She was carefully gowned when
she took the witness stand.
