THE DICTAGRAPH.
Again keen interest was manifested by
the Jurors when the engineer pointed to
Mrs Carman's room on the second floor
and the closet therein where the re-
ceivor Of the dictagraph was secreted.
Mr.. Graham asked IL the plans showed
a gate at the rear Of the Carman prem
ises Two were indicated. Mr.. Graham
called attention to the fact that certain
details with the back of the Carman
grounds were missing. His line OF ques-
tionng seemed to indicate that the de-
fense would seek to prove the assassin
of Mrs Bailey was man, who escaped
through a gate near the Carman barn.
Miss Catherine Hasgerty, of Rock
VILE Centre, succeeded Mrs. Fairfield on
the stand. She said she saw Mrs. Bailey
leave Mrs. Graham's house in Rockville

Freeport, told of arriving at Doctor Car
mans office about o'clock on the night
of June 30. A man who appeared to be
laborer came into the doctors waiting
ROOM Ten minutes later woman ar
rived. Her description tailed with that
of Mrs. Bailey. Mrs. Carman passed
through the waiting room twice. Dur
ing the 30 or 45 minutes she remained IN
the doctors office second man patient

Mr. Graham brought out that Mrs,
Bailey was seated in a position where
Doctor Carman would see her when she
entered the waiting room, but gave no

DEFENSE SCORES POINT.
The coroner described the window
About one-fourth of the broken panes
had fallen outside while the rest had
fallen inside. The screen, made to be
fastened with a double hinge at the top,
was not fastened, the Coroner said,
though there was hook for Fastening
it. This was not bent The Jagged parts
of the broken pane were still In the sash,
The prosecutor was concerned over the
matter because the testimony appeared to
aid the defense in its efforts to show that
no one in the Carman household made
hasty efforts to conceal evidence OF the
crime.
Mr. Graham on examination drew from
Coroner Norton that a deposition hled
with Norton and which had formed a
part of the material that had helped him
arrive at a decision to hold Mrs. Carman
at the end of the coroner's inquest was
not returned to him by District Attorney
Smith.
William D. Bailey husband of Louise
Bailey, followed Coroner Norton as Il
witness. He said he was called by tele-
phone at 94O after which he went to
Doctor Carmans office, where he found
his wife dead on the, sofa.
When he had left her in the morning,
Mr. Bailey said. his wife appeared to be
perfectly we'll with no occasion for con-
sultng q physician.

medical practice was introduced though
not pressed as of vast Importance by
District Attorney Smith, through testl-
mony of DR.. Howard NJ. Phipps and Dr.
Roy D. Grimmer.

Colder was positive the woman VINO had
left him in the waiting room passed
through the dining room to the Kitchen
