''Why." said DR.. Carman this evening
\ have lived in hourly fear that re-
volver would be planted in my house
You are amazed at that? Well. you
needn't be. There are persons who would
like to find a pistol in my house and who
wouldn't be particular as to how IL got
there. | have nothing more TO say about
that. but you can draw your twn In
ference"
There is no doubt that the failure TO
discover the weapon used to murder Mrs,
Bailey Is the greatest setback the au-
thorities have met with. II is no secret
here that Sheriff Stephen Petit and Dis
trict Attorney Smith believed at the
outset OF the investigation that they
would find the weapon which was used
10 kill Mrs Bailey somewhere In or
round the Carman house nor Is 1t a
secret that II the pistol had been found
Mrs. Carman would have been arrested.
The District Attorney and the Sheriff
are basing their theories on Mrs. Car
mans jealousy toward her husband and OF
her almost unbelievable conduc; In invad-
ing her husbands professional privacy
able to secure uncontradicted evidence
that she was near the doctors Office win
dow shortly before the murder OF Mrs.
Bailey. The statement OF the farmland
Colder that he saw woman In white
who he was sure was Mrs. Carman on the
porch about :i5 =. NJ. is attacked by
four witnesses. including Mrs Carman
herself.
Sheriff Petit after pondering twelve
hours upon the significance OF an auto
mobile dealers business card which was
found near the Carman house said
II think | can promise that an arrest
will be made-;he arrest OF woman-in
this case within "A week or ten days This
is a very interesting case. very interesting.
But don't look for speedy action. Nothing
can be done until after the inquest to-
morrow. What ! say Is likely to happen
can hardly be accomplished within week.
Yes. there is a new line OF evidence. /
can't say what It Is. but 1t In brand new
stuff. 1t ought to bring results within a
week"
DO you still say, Sheriff, that men have
been eliminated as murder suspects?"
mo. / can't say that. exactly. II
was TO say that | might give myself
away Publicity never does any good in
these cases.
Believes woman Fired Shot.
We'll. what is your theory? Do you
think IL was a man or woman who
killed Mrs. Bailey"
II still think IL was n woman"
District Attorney Smith said merely
that IL was true that a new clue had been
found and that 1t was believed 10 be i'm
portant.
The Inquest will be resumed at O:30
o'clock tomorrow morning. with Coroner
Norton nragidinU IliQtrIHf
Smith questioning the witnesses.
Since there are only two ways by
which persons inside DR.. Carman's house
can get to the porch, through the front
entrance and through the kitchen, the
testimony of Celia Coleman, Mrs. Car
mans negro cook, will be Interesting She
is prepared to swear that between and
S:l5 Il, VI. last Tuesday nobody passed
through the Kitchen II Is not contcnded
by any one that Mrs Carman used the
front entrance.
Hazel Combe, who was waiting In the
doctors office with George Colder and

the shot was fred. will testify. however,
that Mrs, Carman admitted her at the
front door at ahou, 90 T. NJ, and
that she saw and heard Mrs, Carman re-
coive other patients who came later II
will be remembered that Mrs. Carman
said OH the stand that she was In bed
from about =. VI, until after she was
aroused by the shot that killed Mrs,
Bailey.
