According to statement published in

casion and remembered their manners.
And IL was not an extraordinary crowd
that was packed in the court room.
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; Sc
verely correct, smiling when it is prop
er to smile, stiffiy dignified when II is
time to- be dignified. and, above all,
calm, cool, ard apparently satisfied. II
Mrs. Carman has any fear for her life
she doesn't show II.
In the white high-ceilinged court room
she sits beside DR.. Carman and her
at a social function. Her smile is al
way the same. When Ii 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 in her
pale cheeks. It is such a smile as one
woman condescends to give to another
whom she looks upon as an inferior, or
is thinking in anything else but smiles.

1t is upon these two witnesses that
the States case mainly rests. The de-

strenuous effort will be made to dis

the Carman home as having any con-

The Coleman girl is prepared to tel
a story of Mrs. Carman going through
the kitchen just before the shot was
fired that killed Mrs. Bailey. She was
clad in a kirnono and appeared to have
something concealed under her left arm
according TO the maids story. Imme-
diately after the crash Of glass at the
physicians window and the firing OF
the shot. the maid has declared Mrs
Carman rushed back. admonishing hel

Farrell has told a story of seeing a
woman creep up to the window Of Dr.
