to be equally as accurate in their

crop greatly from that cause alone.
"At Eureka, also, where the sub
station is located, there was also very
small damage. While there is some
rust reported in the country around
Eureka, the substation itself is prac-
tically free from, it. Conditions were
seemingly no worse at Highmore. No

rust than is usual in good croy years.
Generally, crops are reported to be
larger than ever before.'

District Attorney Sum-
mons Mrs. Carnan's
Neice.
TOMORROW
If the Grand Jury lndicts,
Bill Will Be Returned
Then.

Mineola, Long Island.-The grand
jury, from which two members with.
drew because OF friendship for the
Carman family. resumed today its
deliberations In the case of Mrs
Florence Carman, held in Jail as hav.
fired the shot which killed Mrs. Lou
ise Bailey In DIR. Carman's office at
Freeport on the night of June 80.
1t is expected that the Jury will COM
plete its work today and that IL an
indictment is found 1t will be re-
turned tomorrow.
With the resumption of the hear
ing District Attorney Smith announc-
ed that he had issued subpoena
for Mrs. Ellen Corby, a niece of Mrs.
Carman. 1t is upnderstood that she
is one of the two women who have
been sought since the murder as hav-
ing been in the doctors waiting
room and who fed when they heard
the shot fired.
The first witness examined today
was Henry De Beau, who testified to
seeing Mrs. Bailey going to the Car
man home. Anpther witness was
Miss Helen Combs. who was in the
waiting room when the murder. was
committed. 1t is thought likely
that Mrs. Carman will not be called
before the jury.
Seek Two Women.
Mineola, N. Y.-While the grand
jury yesterday was hearing nine wit
nesses tell what they knew about
the mysterious murder OF Mrs.
Louise Bailey and the actions of
Mrs. Florence Carman Just before
and after the crime, detectives were
running down a clew the district at
torney believes will locate the two
strange women whom Mrs. Carman
and her sister said they saw hurry
ing away directly after Mrs. Bailey
fell with bullet through her heart.
Before the grand jury DR.. Car
man told a story much the same as
the one he told at the inquest. He
was not asked to sign waiver of
immunity. The murdered woman's
family and relatives were called to
tell of her actions on the day Of the
murder and how they were informed
of her death.
