IN" bullet that ended the life OF Mrs.
Louise DurNea Bailey on the night OF
June 80. will he argued by District
Attorney smith on Tuesday, when he
asks the grand jury to return AN in
dictmcnt against Mrs. Florence Carman
III" doctors jealous wife who is in
J.il at Mincola. charged with the MUIR
der.
Based on the doctors own story OF
the conditions existing in his Office
when the shot was fired, the district
attorney has had prepared chart on
which is shown the positions Of Mrs.
Bailey and Dr. Cavman when the shot
was fired. District Attorney Smith
Will contend nrst, that Carman's hy-
pothesis that he was the intended vic
tim is weak. inasmuch as he could
not have been shot in any place cX-
ccpt the point OF the left shoulder.
and that only an uch and a half OF
that shoulder was within the angle of
range permitted by the hole in the
window
Second, that Dr. Carman saw the
person who fred the shot, and that the
shot was tired by some one who lived
in the house
TAKES DOCTOn'S STORY
iS BASE FOR FITS ATTACK
ift ilStlitl attorney Is tGklnE Tor
the base of his attack the doctors
story that the shot really came from
the window. although the detectives
are working on the theory that the
Shot was fred from the pantry. and
that Dr. Carman has not told the truth
OF what occurred in the office.
1t viii he shown that Mrs. Bailey
was shot in the back. and that the bull
let tore through and across the body.
stopping in the left breast.
Furthermore IL Will be brought out
that Mrs. Bailey must have been look
ing back over her shoulder. with her
body so twisted as a result. that the
bullet took diagonal path instead OF
straight one
This last deduction will be used to
argue that il is evident that the per-
son who fired the bullet was on II level
with Mrs. Bailey. and was therefore
in the room and not standing outside
tho window
AS "a final stroke the district attor-
!ney, having shown the chart, will put
DIR. Carnan through terrific cross
examination for the benefit OF the
grand jury.
Celia Coleman declared the dis
trict attorney tonight. told us in
Mineola. she did not ever wish to re-
turn to Frccport. That ought TO satis-
fy those persons who declare that she
was kidnapped and is being illegally
detained. Celia VIII take the stand
when the grand jury takes the case up
She viii not necessarily contradict her
statement made TO the Carman law
yer, and at the inquest. But she will
come nearer to telling the truth. Her
story will show that IL is quito prob
able that she saw some one in the
Kitchen just before the shooting. and
that She may have seen the person who
broke the window"
