IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN CASE
Weapon is Thing Necessary 60 Con-
meet Actually Anyone with
Murder of Mrs. Louise
bailey.

FREEPORT, N. Y, July 5.-Half a
dozen detectives renewed vigorously to-
day the search for the revolver with
which Mrs. Louise Bailey was murdered
Tuesday night in the office of DIR. Edwir
Carman. Unless there Is some thdiea'
change IN the trend of the case, which
an assistant district attorney admitted
the authorities considered extremely Inn
probable. this revolver is the one piece
of evidence by which they can actually
connect anyone with tho murder.

the case were obtained by private detec-
tives who will endeavor to have pawn
brokers and keepers of gunshops in New
York and the cities in New Jersey iden-
tify them as likeness of a woman they
suspeCt 0t having purchased a revolver.
The de, ,ctives also declared they were
very anxious TO determine what outgoing
calls passed over the telephone in the Car
man home for several days prior to the
murder and to learn the identity of two
strange women whom Mrs. Carrnan and
her sister, Mrs. Ida Powell, said they had
seen hurrying from the Carman home i'm
mediately after the murder.
The investigators refused tonight TO
say whether they had secured list OF
DR., Carman's women patients and would
see every one of them to determine
whether 1t was two of their number who
sped from the house while Mrs. Bailey
was still lying on the floor of the physi-
clans. office.
The identity of these women IL they
were in tho house, as Mrs. Carman and
her husband said is the mystery the de
tectives are almost as anxious to solve
as they are the whereabouts of the re-
Volver.
When the inquest is resumed Monday
morning. II was learned today. an aft
davit from Celia Coleman, a negro maid
in the Carman home, will be introduced
She swears that Mrs. Carman was no
in the kitchen the night OF the murder
and that neither she nor anyone elss

were forced to divide the double header

could do little with Oeschger. In the Sec

With big JEFF Tesreau In form the Giants
did not have to strain themselves to win,
or in fact to give the Quakers coat of

and he was only fairly good, so Il was
easy shedding for the visitors from start

7 to 0.
The two pastimes consumed nearly four
hours of valuable time. and as each team
looked good and bad In one or the other
game the battles were not waged with
intense interest to the onlookers. The
home fans took much enjoyment out of
the beating given the RUDE and as Graz
