"Tlc public and hose who are working
IN Mrs. Carman's behalf can be sure of
this. he said. NO attempt Will be made

and no matter To what extent she changes
her story. | will not take her before the
Grand Jury unless | am convinced that
she is ,clins the TRUTH
The attitude OF DR.. Carman in this
investigation puzzles the District Attorney
greatly. DR.. Carman has been profuse
In his assertions that he wants 10 learn
who fred the shot, hut on several occa-
sions he has done his best apparently to
block the District Attorney. The other
day when the District Attorney wanted to
mako list of the women patients on
Dr. Carman's books so he could find the
two women who sat IN the anteroom at
the time of the murder and have never
appeared. Or. Carman refused to show
HIS books. claiming the legal privilege Of
a physician to keep such matters to HIM
self
Carman's Theory Disputed.
Or Carman has asserted repeatedly his
hel,ef that the shot which killed Mrs.
Ra,,ey was Intended for him. and prob
ably came from some insane patient whom
ne had treated Charts which the Dis
trict Attorney has prepared show that the
theory that the person who shot intended
to Kill Carman is Incredible
These charts show the exact dimensions
Of the lower floor OF the Carman home,
and diagrammed on II are the movements
ofCarrnan and Mrs. Bailey. as related by
DR.. Carman.
n the shot was fred from the window
Mrs Bailey would have stood twelve feet
away, with her whole back exposed to the
shooter. Heart lungs, stomach and other
vital points would have been easy for
any one to hit who was not an expert
with revolver
DR. Carman stood on the far side Of
Mrs Bailey, according to his own story.
His left hand was on the doOrknob. and
his right hand was on Mrs. Bailey
shoulder. All OF him except the crook OF
his right elbow and his right shoulder was
out of the sight of the shooter
Mrs. Bailey turned quickly when the
glass was broken. and because OF the
ouiclxness Of this movement the bullet. IN
stead of lodging square In the middle of
her back, between the shoulders, hit on
her right shoulder blade, and travelled
across the body.
had meant to shoot DR.. Carman that per.
son would not have fired when so much
OF Mrs. Bailey and so little of DIR. Car.
man, was In range Of the bullet
one Of the points which has struck Mr.
Smith most forcibly Is that no outside
watcher could have known that Mrs
Bailey and the doctor were In the office
NJ Bailey entered the anteroom OF DR.
Cdrman just after 7;15 in the evening
IIelry DE Baut OF Hampstead, who knew
her we'll. SAW her enter. and he is sure
~ the time. She had a walt of at least
twenty minutes in the anteroom while
another patient was being attended to.
SO, assuming that some ono had fol
lowed Mrs. Bailey any length of time
With the purpose OF killing her, and had
watched her enter the house. that person
would not have been able to determine
whether Mrs. Bailey was In the office oil
not. The lace curtains were drawn and
the shades were down. No one coulC
see from the outside who was IN tho
office.
Also the screen, left unlocked 80 that q
could be raised, shows that the person
who fired the shot was familiar with thu
arrangements of the house. ON thii
reasoning Mr. Smith has eliminated al
theories pointing to outsiders.
Justice OF the Peace Norton, who was I,
