Jurors Accused by Mate.
A sensational accusation WAS made
By juror this morning against some
cs the other members Of the jury. This
Juror told a newspaper man that sew
.rsl Of the jurors admitted to him az
he Garden City Hotel Thursday night,
after Mrs. Carman had given her tes-
;imony on direct examination and be-
fore she had been cross-exsmined. that
they had already decided to vote her
70, guilty, and would stick to that de-
sision until the finish. The juror re-
fused consent 70 the use of his name.
The District Attorney was told OF
The jurors story late tonight.
'1tis a big surprise TO me. hadn't
heard of this before. Undoubtedly this
development will have & material effect
On the application for Mrs. Csrman's
sdmi:sion TO bail, which will be made
10 Justice Kclby in Brooklyn at noon
tomorrow.
4 shall investigate the story the
tfst thing tomorrow morning, and II
] can pin the fact down hard ! shall
move for new trial
Prior TO this Mr.. Smith had eX-
pressed no intention Of pushing a see
snd trial because the jury split was so
VIDE. He had announced his willing
hess to consent 70 Mrs. Carman's re-
lease on bail, but it is possible that
Justice Kelby will deny the application
ior the womsn's release.
Ar. Levy, on the other hand, said
DC would demand q new trial for his
shent as he would not permit an in
0etnsnt TO hang over Mrs. Carman.
MS Csrmsn was so upset by the re-
W.T. Of the trial that she had no desire
