TEN DETECTIVES WORKING ON FREEPoRT MYSTERY.
Nassau County Authorities Active Witnesses Contradict Mrs. Carman's Testimony.

Freeport, N. T., July 6.-The head of a national detective agency arrived here tonight and began an investiga- tion into the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey. who was mysterrously shot and killed in the office of Dr. Edwin Car man last Tuesday night. <This detec- tive is in the employ. of the Nassau county authorities, and ten men from his office are working on the case
 The inquest into the murder of Mrs. Bailey was abruptly adjourned today ur.til Wednesday. This action was taken in order to give the authorities a chance to investigate several clues and to look into the story told last night by Dr. Carman, who informed the police that a bicyclist who had followed his automobile from Rockville Center near here had fired three shots at him while he was driving along a lonely stretch of road.
 It was learned later from Sheriff Petit that after it had been decided to adjourn the inquest two witnesses. disclose, had been brought into the case and went under examination last ing two hours behind locked doors. The sheFif refused to discuss his converse ton with those witnesses further than to say that their statements were of the highest importance.
 Shots Were Heard.
 Four persons living near the spot where pr. Carman said the attempt gators this afternoon they had heard shots. Detectives were unable, how ever, to find anyone who had heard the shots which J. w. Half, Jr., a resident of Lynnbrook, a neighboring village, said was fired at him early this morn ing while he was driving his automo- bile outside of Freeport Half, who resembles Dr. Carman in figure and face, owns an automobile similar to one owned by the physician.
 Contradicted Mrs. Carman.
 The inquest was adjourned after several witnesses had been heard. Two of these witnesses, Miss Hazel Combs, a patient of Dr Carman, and Miss Anna Kahn, a friend who accompanied than an hour before Mrs. Bailey was murdered, fatly contradicted Mrs. Carman's statement that she was not walking around the ground floor of her home that night and was not in her husbands office and had not admitted any patients who called. Both these women swore they had seen Mrs. Car man enter her husbands office to an- swer the telephone, and they corrob- orated the testimony of George Colder, the witness who testified on Friday that Mrs. Carman had admitted him to the house.
 The corroboration, combined with the testimony given by negro maid in the Carman home, constituted what was declared by District Attorney Smith to be the most important infor- nation elicited during the days pro- ceedings.
 Mrs. Carman did not leave her home today. She has not been away from there since she returned from testify- Ing at the inquest Friday.

Waters of Narragansett Bay. Waters of arragansett Bay

Newport, R. l., July 6-whether the cup class yachts Defiance, Resolute and Vanitie will begin their series of trial races tomorrow with a contest under the auspices of the Eastern Iacht Club, will depend largely upon the severity of the West Indian hur- rlcane which burst over Narragansett Bay at sundown tonight.
