Asks Suspension of Judgment.


Mrs. Carman insisted yesterday upon
debating q statement for the neWspa-
per men outside. She feels thaat the
weight of public opinion is against her
and she wanted to swing some of it in
her own favor.
She feels particularly that the state
ment of Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mothe"
OF the murdered woman, that Mrs. Car
SO lar to express any sympathy for the
of Mrs. Bailey has injured her
cause before the public. This is Mrs.
Carman's statement:
Il only ask that the public suspend
judgment upon me until the entire
truth In regard to the murder OF poor
Mrs. Bailey is known l am satisfied
that the truth will come, for when 1
am eXonerated DR.. Carman and myself
will never rest until the murderer is
captured.
The public takes much delight in
thinking me a woman of iron nerve,
when 1 am really crushed under this
terrible charge. 1t is terrible pun
shment that has been meted out to
me for the suspicion that l permit
ted to cloud. the love I hold for my
husband: Ny little baby has been sent
to the home of strangers My mother
is lying at the point of death. my father
is broken old man and my sister has
been accused of forsaking me- How
untruthful this insinuation about her is
can only be realized by one who has
witnessed her pitiful collapse after my
arrest.
Declares Her Innocence.
Il am innocent. l cannot understand
why everything said by myself. my hus-
band or any one connected with me has
been so distorted. All I ask of any one
is fair play.
Still there is comfort to be cleaned
from my position. Never have my hus-
band and myself been SO closely united
Never before have l known what real
friendship is. I have been overcome
with the numerous messages of sympathy
that have been sent by friends and ac-
qualntances everywhere.
Poor Mrs. Duryea! My heart goes out
to her. l have read that she wishes to
have one look at me. Surely the authori-
ties can arrange it so that this grain of
comfort can be given to the poor old
lady. There is nothing 1 wouldn't do to
soften her grief.
Il was not Jealous of my husband. I
installed the dictograph merely to be
able to stop the mouths of gossips who
had come to me with stories''

Women Attend Meeting.

One OF the most interesting features
of the evening was tn" presence ol Il
number of women of Georgetown. A. h.
Paris introduced Miss Alice Morton,
who said she was eighty-four years old.
and was glad to have the opportunity
to be present to speak on a subject
which is stirring all of Georgetown.

chair. Miss Morton said she recollected
clearly the agitation when the present
Georgetown (Aqueduct) bridge was
built, and hoped that there would be
no change in the site.
Various bills having to do with pro-
posed bridges across the Potomac river
We're read. as well as copies of letters
the citizens of Georgetown have written
to the Secretary of War and others in
connection with the subject Owing to
the sultry weather the meeting adjourned
as early as possible, and parliamentary
tactics were not used by opponents of any
particular proposition in order to delay
rapid conclusion. The chairman had an
nounced:
We will just do things this evening in
Georgetown home-folks way. :
The following officers were elected, to
form permanent organization to see
that the bridge is not taken away from
Georgetown:
]. Holdsworth Gordon president: G. W.
Offutt. first vice president: William King,

tary, and A NJ. Baer, treasurer.

pare for heavy European demand for
horses as a result of the war. The te-
partment is endeavoring to encourage

clare. for many years after the war, to
replace the animals slaughtered and lost
to the farms. 1t is suggested that ell
