Another curious item OF informr- ion
was given to Sheriff Petit tonight by
Davis KENNEDY. an employee of Arbuckle
Bros. who lives here ut Lena avenue and
South Grove street Kennedy said that a
friend of his named Howe called him on
the long distance phone from Philadelphia
to-day and reminded him Of an episode
which occurred two years a this sum
mer
do you recall. said Howe that /
was out on the bay in a boat and that a
lady was with me? And that we saw
you and DR.. Carman in another boat?
When the woman who was with me saw
DR.. Carman she acted like n crazy person
" There's "A man | am going TO kill II
It's the last act OF my llfe.' sh" told me"
Kennedy says nc went to Dr. Carman
and asked the doctor ~ he recalled having
been on the bay at the time mentioned by
Howe or II he could think Of any woman
who had cause to hate him. DIR. Carman
of no woman who had any reason to de-
sire his death.
Sheriff Petit said tonight that he had
heard the story. but he would make no
comment on II.
There were indications to-day that the
officials In charge OF the case are not in
close accord. and that District Attorney
Smith and Sheriff Petit are acting In
dependently OF Coroner Norton The
reason advanced was that when DIR. Nor
ton was tried and acquitted on n charge
of larceny recently, his counsel was
George NJ Levy, who Is now counsel for
the Carmans.

fired by a man who followed his auto

aware that his assailant was left handed

death was accidental and that her SLAYER

Hone to Iudict n woman.

The District Attorney and the sheriff
are al no pains To conceal their desire TO
have the case in the hands OF the Grand
Jury at Mineola on Thursday. and they
are banking upon Burnss ability to
produced the necessary evidence required
for the indictment OF woman who Is
under suspicion.
The rather mciodramatic experiment
made by Mr.. Burns tonight was for the
purpose OF determining whether or not
the assassin was n person familiar with
the lay of house and grounds or one who
approached from the highway. Sheriff
Pe<tits comment after the demonstration
vac:
IL can say this much--Mrs. Bailey's
slayer was a woman. We now expect TO
make an arrest within few days. We
are not after any man In this case"
Even before Mr.. Burns appeared and
staged the murder the attitude OF the
District Attorney and the Sheriff was
apparent 1t was perfectly obvious that
they were paying little or no attention
to DR.. Carman's remarkable story OF hav-
ing been shot at three times by man
on bicycle who followed him near
Roosevelt last night. 1t was equally APP
parent. AT the inquest to-day, that Dis
trict Attorney Smiths questioning Of wit
nesses was based on his theory OF Mrs.
Carman's movements. He was particu-
larly sharp with witnesses who told
stories supporting Mrs, Carman's own
statement.
In spite of attempts 10 minimize the
discovery of box of .3S calibre cartridges
In the garnet OF the Carman house there
II no doubt that the authorities consider
the find significant. II is true that the
box had not been opened and that no
cartridge had been removed. hut the idea
OF the police is that the cartridges Indicate
that "A revolver for their use must have
been in the Carman house ut some time
recently. The bullet that killed Mrs.
Bailey wac of 3s calbre
DR. Carman explained the presence ~
the cartridges in his house by saying:
There Is "a lot OF junk up i'm the
garnet that has been there for fifteen
years used to do a good deal OF hunting
and had firearms OF several kinds I've
no doubt that | bought the cartridges a
long time ago"

The case is so interesting that | de-

that II would he improper for me to say
more at this time
The presence here of the detective and
eight OF his operatives is taken to mean
that up to tonight, at least. the local
authorities had not been able to secure
tangible evidence against woman. They
made every effort to show that It was a
woman who killed Mrs. Bailey. but moth
ing has resulted save a scrap or two OF
circumstantial evidence.

waits Till Hour Of Murder.
Mr.. Burns waited until s:lJ r. NJ. or.
ms nearly can he estimated to the
hour and minute that Mrs Bailey was
shot to death. 1t was getting pretty
dark. You could distinguish objects in
the yard but the grounds were shadowy
in the neighborhood Of the hemlock trees
and along the hedges. But. as was
shortly demonstrated. it was perfectly
possible to detect human figure NOV
ing In the grounds.
For all the world like an actor in n
moving picture drama Cyou almost ex-
pected to hear the click Of the camera),
Mr.. Burns, after placing his actors, went
out In the Merrick road, waited few
moments and then began to creep to.
ward the front of the house. First he
came straight toward the front
door. Then he approached the
porch from half "A dozen angles
sometimes running. sometimes crawl
ing, but every, time he was seen by
DIT Carman or the operative per-
sonating Mrs. Bailey. or 10y one of his
men posted al the front entrance.
Then he tried another approach. lie
went around behind the office toward
the kitchen and after "A short delay
sneaked toward the office window. This
time nobody saw him until he raised
himself above the sill of the window
through which Mrs Bailey was shot lie
didn't enter the Kitchen where Celia
Coleman had been posted, hut he APP
reached from the rear. standing near the
dJor of the kitchen and Celia didn't
catch glimpse Of him. The net result
Of the experiment was Mr. Burns's con-
clusion that the slayer Of Mrs. Bailey
must have come from the rear of the
house.

Important Witnesses Not Called.

To-day's short session of tho inquest
into the death OF Mrs. Bailey was more
interesting for what was not brought out
and for the number OF important wit
nesses who were not put on the stand
than for any new or startling evidence
that was adduced.
Mrs Elizabeth Variance. the widow
whose face was slapped by Mrs. Carnan
In the doctors office, was not called. No
explanation OF this was forthcoming from
District Attorney Lewis j Smith.
Mrs Ida Powell. sister of Mrs. Carman,
who testified on Friday that she was not
on the Carman porch in the interval be-
tween the conclusion OF supper and the
firing of the shot, was not recalled TO
say that she now remembers that she was
on the porch George Colder. Jr.. had
said on Friday that he saw Mrs Carman
on the porch twenty minutes before the
shot was fired. and George Levy, attorney
for Mrs Carman, has said repeatedly
that Colder saw Mrs. Powell and not Mrs.
Carman. No explanation was given of
this
Mrs. Plat Conkln. mother OF Mrs. Car
man and Mrs Powell, who was to testify,
according 70 Levy. that she was on the
porch with Mrs. Powell. was not called
to depose to this effect. Mrs, Couklin
