"Whv was he so anxious for Bedeil
He told me after the shooting that ne
went for Bedell because he wanted
Rim TO identify the woman's body. but
why was he so anxious for that iden-
tifcstion. He told me then, as un-
derstsnd him, that he believed bedeil
could identify the body because he re-
membered seeing Mrs. Bailey. though
he did not know her name. at the home
of one of Bedell's relatives-the MINI
mells.
Subsequently he said he did not re-
member seeing Mrs. Bailey there AT
all, but that she had told hlm, wnen
she came into his Office that nIght. that
she had seen him at the kimmeils'
did not understand him 10 say any
thing like that on the night OF the
shooting.
After he had gone out Of his house
and hunted up Bedell and talked with
him and walked back home with n!m'
then, and not until then, was IT de-
cided TO call up the police. The rec
ords Of the police blotter show tnat
they were notified at 9 o'clock. Inc
best testimony available establishes
the shooting at S:15 p. m, or Garner.
"'why, in Gods name | asked Dr.
Carman, If you thought they were
shooting at you, didn't you try to md
out who IL was? Why were you so
anxious to have an identification OF
the body? Why didn't you leave that
TO the police -"
II was pointed out that if the ONCE
window curtains wee down, as Or.
Carman said they were that night IL
would have been impossible for any
one not in the house TO know that MIS-
Bailey was in the Office.
Acquaintance Credited.
HAS il been definitely established
that a previous acquaintance existed
between DR.. Carman and Mrs. Bailey,
or will such an acquaintance be estaD-
fshed?" Mr.. Smith was asked.
II should not be surprised If 1t were
established" answered the District At
torney.
II is known on good authority that
he has every reason to believe that TINS
will not be difficult matter. Inc OIL
fcials have much more evidence than
they viii admit is in their possession.
A story which negro woman
Martha Parrish, was reported 70 have
told in Rockville Centre to-day, but
which she denied both TO detectives
and 70 a Tribune reporter, said tnat
Celia Coleman, the negro servant OF
the Carmans. said she had not told ting
truth at the inquest. According TO TINS
account. the Coleman girl told Mrs.
Parrish that she was upstairs, haif IN
dressed. when she heard the shot; that
as she ran out Of her room to see what
had happened she met Mrs. Carman
coming up the back stairway, and tnat
Mrs. Carman ordered her TO go back 10
he'd and say nothing about having seen
her.
The woman had not denied the story
when q Tribune reporter repeated IL 10
the District Attorney.
Have you Investigated this" MI
Smith was asked.
81 have not" he replied.
well, what do you think OF II
To Press Coleman Girl.
81 should not be surprised to hnd out
that il was true. OF course, we are go.
ing TO make Celia tell the real truth II
there is any way of making her. what
seems most likely TO be the truth is
that Mrs. Carman, If she was down
stairs at all between dinner and the
time the shot was fred, was IN the
kitchen once and passed through the
rear Of the house instead OF the 1roht
part"
The Parrish woman, who is the maid
of Eunice Clayton. an actress, was
badly frightened this evening when
Detective Thomas Murray and Burns
operative stepped into her nome al
Rockville Centre and ordered her to
tell what she knew about the shooting
o. Mrs. Bailey. a,-
"Why. YOUR honor" she said, Use
don't even know Celia Coleman. Deed
I don't. I've never seen that girl IN all
NV life. SO how could she tell me any
The detectives piled Martha with
questions for twenty-five minutes, but
could not shake her. Her only re-
spouse: ct.
Martha said she had been here. for
only FIVE weeks and had come from
New York.
New Witness Fixes Time.
Another important witness, who. II
ia believed, was the last person TO see
Mrs. Louise Bailey before she entered
the Office Of DIR. Carman the night she
was murdered, was discovered to-day.
He is Harry De Beau, Nineola real
estate man, VINO lives at Hampstead,
and has known Mrs. Bailey for fifteen
wears. His testimony will have an i'm
portant bearing on fixing the exact
time the shot that killed Mrs. Bailey
was fred.
Mr.. De Beau says that about 1913
or not later than 7:15, he saw Mrs.
Bailey not more than fifty feet from
the Carmen house. He is sure that
IL she entered the Office of the physi-
clan at once it would not have been
later than 7:20 o'clock.
~ am positive Of the time" MIR. De
Beau said, land ] am positive that the
woman saw was Mrs. Bailey. A bust

trolley car at the Freeport station on

standing in front Of Dr.. Fletcher's
house, which is on the northeast cor

because ] have known her for fifteen
years.
