Whose Motive We Do not Know"

Frank Farrell, who testified yester.
day afternoon tnat he had seen q
woman running from the window
through which the shot was fired
was recalled to the stand for contin-
uance of his crosS-eXamination when
court convened this morning.
AS on preceding days, the court
room was crowded with women.
John }. Graham, rs. Carman's law
yer questioned Farrell closely about
his movements on tine day of the mur-
der. The story related by the witness
was practically the same as that Civ
on direct examintion
After an hour and quarters cross
examination Farrell was excused and
the state announced that it rested It's
case.
George M. Levy of Mrs. Carman's S
counsel, then began his opening ad-
dress.
We will prove,' said Nj. Levy,
that this crime was not committed
by Mrs. Carman, but by man whose
motive we do not know"
Mr.. Levy told of Mrs. Carman's ac-
tions on the day and night of the MUIR
der. lie said she went to New York
during the day, contracted headache
and after dinner went to bed.
Mrs. Carman will tell you that she
then heard a shot and some commo-
tion down stairs, he said
This was the first definite declara-
tion from the defense that she was to
testify.
She Immediately put on kimono
and leaned over the bainister. She did
not go into the office because DR.. Car
man had forbidden her to do so.
She will admit all about the leie
phonic instrument and will tell you
that she had it installed to find out
if the things she had heard about the
Doctors relations with women were
true. We will show you that there
can be no suspicion attached to Mrs.
Carman's talk with me because was
a friend of the family and had been
tor years.
AS to the witness, Farrell, we will
prove him liar.
A vigorous assault upon the testi-
mony given yesterday by Cecilia Cole
man. the Carman ma.d, was begun by
the defense with it's first witness, Ben
edict Cheeseman, a negro stenograph-
er of New York Cheeseman testified
that he and two negro lawyers called
on Cecilia in New York on July II
last end that the lawyers questioned
Cecilia about her knowledge of the
crime, while he took down questions
and answers in shorthand
He identified typewritten state
ment as that which she had made. in
this Cecilia said she wanted to tell
the whole truth. She was not Under
oath, however, and she made no men
ton of Mrs. Carman's having shoVn
her a revolver.

ALLIES HAMMER GERMAN LINE.
London, Oct. 22.-ReportS that the
Germans had evacuated Ostend and
were retreating toward Bruges and
that their West Flanders army from
the vicinity of the coast south Of
Courtrai was being hammered into q
zigZag line by the combined efforts
of the British navy and the British,
French and Belgian troops, seemed
to coincide at so many points today
that, in the absence of claims of any
advices from Berlin, opinion here was
that the fighting among the canals Of
North Belgium had been generally
against the invaders.
The Germans at one point have
been driven back as far as ThourcoIAt
and some dispatches say that their
communications in the middle of West
Flanders have been so disorganized
that troops from Client are marching
direct to Coutrai, rather than join
their comrades to the north, who are
in danger of being cut off The evac-
uatlon of Ostend was not confirmed
this morning, but from Berlin itself
came a report that British ships were
shelling that town, while another dis
patch said the guns of the war vessels
had destroyed the village of Slype On
the canal between 0stend and Bruyes
where, it is said, the Germans have
their headquarters. At Sluis, only a
few miles northeast of Slype, in 1340
a British fleet achieved a victory over
the French. 1t is clear now that ships
have been playing an important part
in the warfare along the coast. The
admirlty officially announced that the
monitors Severn, Humber and MerSey
not only bombarded the German posi-
ton south of Ostend, but landed de-
tachments of marines with machine
guns.
1t is reported from other sources
that II war vessels in all are taking
part in the operations, but they are
not named.

German submarines got to Ostend is
unknown. With the fighting along the
Belgian coast hardly more than 20
miles from Dover, that area of hos

with the British public, though ac-

A STRONG CANDIDACY
ELIMINATED

Editor Frank l.. Mayes of the
Pensacola Journal, has eliminated
himself from the gubernatorial con-
test next year in a letter to Judge
c. B. Parkhill of Tampa in which
he declines to become a candidate
and gives his reasons therefor. Mr..
Mayes has been frequently men
toned for this office in terms OF
high commentator by many of the
papers, daily and weekly, in Florida,
and a large number of prominent
I'citizens, also, have urged his candi-
dacy Those who know him fully
|realize his entire fitness for the
place, and as governor of Florida
he would have maintained the best
traditions of the office and given the
people an administration marked
by sound judgment, absolute hon
esty, broad patriotism and execu-
tive ability Of high order.
Mr.. Mayes declines to be a can
didate because he feels that his
means will not permit him to incur
the heavy expense of the campaign;
because he feels that there will be
no great vital issue of principle or
policy in the campaign outside of
the usual party planks and that it
will be chiefly a contest between
candidates running on their person
al popularity; and his other reason
is one SO strange in politics that it
has no precedent within our knowl-
edge: He distrusts hie own quail
fication because he has hal no eX-
perience in any department of the
State government and he fears that
lack of such training would handi-
cap him in the office. Such modesty
as that generally goes with merit;
and we commend it to all candi-
dates, no matter what the office they
seek, as something worth thinking
about and a golden example most
Of them might do well to initiate.
AS a private citizen Mr.. Mayes
will continue to devote himself to
his admirable newspaper which he
has made one of the very best and
most constant forces in Florida for
the betterment of the people along
all lines, and in that relation he
can accomplish far more in the long
run for his fellow citizens than he
could as transient officeholder in
the executive chair at Tallahassee.

The result of the senatorial pri-
mary in South Carolina, which will
retire Cole Blease to private life
and keep him from the senatorship
he had the effrontery to seek, re-
minds us with a sense of deep graf
itude that peace hath her victories
no less renowned than war. There
are social and political upheavals
all along the course of civilization
which bring strange, new human
types to the surface at war with es-
tablished order. They flourish
awhile, but just as inevitably they
fade, for the conserving principle
in nature which is necessarily seek
ing to preserve the normal and re-
store order from chaos will tolerate
them only for the time it takes the
disturbed forces to realign them
selves and resume their orderly
function Blease was one of these
freaks thrown to the surface by the
disturbance of political order in
South Carolina. He tlourished long
enough to demonstrate his incurable
unfitness and he goes back to his
native obscurity to nurse his mean
little resentments for the rest of his
life. He had his merits, perhaps
what man hasn't?-but in the
scheme of civilization it was not in
tended that one of his crude, raw
type should remain in authority and
shame the educated intelligence of
an American commonwealth.
