MRS. CARMAN IS
PLACED Upon
TRIAL
WIFE OF PHYSICIAN is ACCUSED
or KILLING A SOCIETY
WOMAN

New York, Oct. 1.-THE case of
Mrs. Florence Carman, under indict-
|nent for first degree murder in con-
Inection with the killing of Mrs. Louise
Bailey, was called for trial today at
Ia special session of the supreme court
lat Mineola, L. l. The social standing
of the accused woman, together with
many elements OF mystery which re-
main to be solved in connection with
the case, promise to make the trial
one of the most notable that has TAX
en- place in this vicinity in long
time.
Mrs. Louise Bailey, woman of ex-
cellent reputation, the wife Of a pros
perous manufactures and the mother
of a grown daughter, was killed while
making a call on DIR. Carman in the
latter's office in his house at Freeport
n the night Of June 80 last. The fa-
tai bullet was fired through the wom-
ANS heart while she stood standing
talking to the physician in his office.
A broken window pane showed where
the slayer had stood when the shot
was fired.
From the very beginning the case
was shrouded in deepest mystery. DR..
Carman declared that he had never
met Mrs. Bailey, so far as he could
remember, until she called at his Of
fee the night of the tragedy. So far
as is known there have been no de-
velopments to refute the physicians
statements in this particular The
reasons for Mrs. Bailey's visit to the
physician have remained unexplained.
Her home was at Hampstead, a con-
siderable distance from DR.. Carman's
home and Office, while her regular fam
lily physician resided much nearer. Be-
fore she left her home Mrs Bailey
made no mention to any of the mem
bers Of her family that she intended
to visit DR.. Carman, nor had she com

planned of any ailment that would call
for medical attention.
A week after the tragedy Mrs Car
man was taken into custody and ac-
cused Of the killing. The finger Of
suspicion. was first pointed at the
physicians wife when n was learned
that she had installed a dictagraph in
her husbands office so that she might
learn what went on between him and
his women patients. Other evidence
was brought to light which indicated
that Mrs. Carman had been insanely
jealous OF her husband
AT the time Of her arrest Mrs. Car
man made out a pretty good alibi.
She declared that she was upstairs
in her own room at the time Mrs.
Bailey was killed and did not go down
until long after the shot was fired.
This was corroborated by the state
ments of her mother and sister, who
also were upstairs, and by her negro
maid. The latter, however, is said to
have changed her testimony subse-
qpently and to have said that Mrs.
Carman hurried into the back door
and up the stairs after the tragedy
hsd been enacted.
The immediate cause of Mrs, Car
mans arrest was the testimony Civ
en- at the coroner's hearing by Ell
wood T. Bardes, an insurance solici-
ter. The story told by Bardes was sub
stantially as follows:
On the evening of the murder he
determined to pay professional visit
I to DR.. Carman, and allow him to dress
minor injury to one of his heels
Arriving at the physicians mouse, he
decided he could dress the injury him
self and thereby save a doctors fee
SO he walked past the house and then
turned to begin his journey home
AT that instant he heard an explosion.
He thought it was caused by an auto
mobile tire, but when ne looked for
the machine he could not find IL. He
turned his eyes toward the lawn at
the side of DR.. Carman's house. A
woman, tall, well built, hatless, wear
ing light shirtwaist and a dark skirt,
was moving away from one of the
windows at the side Of the physicians
Office toward the rear of the house
She was walking lin hurry" the
witness swore.
On the strength of the testimony of
Pardes and other witnesses heard at
the preliminary hearing Mrs Carman
was indicted on charge of man
slaughter. While she was at liberty
under bond the authorities pursued
their quest for further evidence. DR..
Carman's house and grounds were ran
sacked in an effort to find trace of
the weapon with which the murder
had been committed. So far as is
krown, this search for the revolver
was fruitless. 1t is believed, however
that other evidence was discovered
tending to strengthen the case against
the accused woman. This belief is
| 4. -
ago the grand jury which in July had
indicted her for manslaughter was
brought together again and the result
was that new Indictment was re-
turned charging Mrs. Carman with
murder in the first degree. The ma
ture of the new evidence if any such
were discovered, has not been made
public.

SANTA FE WILL
BEAUTIFY Her
LAWNS
EXPERT FROM AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE WILL HAVE CHARGE
OF THE WORK

Santa Fe, Oct 12.-That the capitol
ought to be rebuilt along Old Santa
Fe lines is the opinion Of Dr.. R. w
Corwin, the eminent surgeon, scient
ist and social worker at the head OF
Minnequa hospital at Pueblo, Colo.
In an open letter he says:
q feel that Santa Fe has excep-
tional opportunity and will make a
great mistake if 1t fails to take adj
vantage of it.
Santa Fe is one Of the oldest
cities in the United States. Some of
its earliest landmarks are still in ex-
istence. They grow more and more
valuable as centuries pass-the adobe,
narrow winding streets, mission
churches and buildings, carved gates
and. ceiling timbers are strange and
fascinating to the visitor People
talk about the unusual what seems
wonderful to them, the artistic and
historic. This is what will add more
and more to Santa Fe's attractiveness
and bring tourists to the city. Why
do people visit battle fields, art gal
leries, castles, pyramids and temples
Why are thousands of tourists attract
ed to foreign lands, undergo hard
ships and spend money to see the
strange and curious, if not to satisfy
craving that exists in every indi-
vidual who has sufficient intellect and
education to appreciate?
Preserve every old building, gate,
fence or stone that has a history.
Keep the streets as they were
originally, and, if possible remodel
your beautiful capitol so that it will
not look like the state buildings found
in amy and every capitol city of our
land, but so its design will harmonic
with its environment Now your cap
itol is incongruous and never will be
otherwise SO long as Santa Fe is
Santa Fe.
THE expense Of remodeling the
building would be returned to the
state in generation. This sugges-
ton will be criticized, but it will
stand investigation. When Ludwig
built the castles of Bavaria he was
condemned, but these buildings have
paid for themselves many times over
and now the Bavarian points with
pride to the structures he once called
follies At one time the rulers Of
Egypt started to pull down the pyra-
mide that the stones might be used
for damming the Nile. Today, if a
person breaks off a corner of a 20
foot rock forming part of the pyra-
mid he is arrested. Why multiply il
lustrations? There is no room for
argument Any resident of Santa Fe
who has given the matter due consid-
Grafton cannot but understand the
value of preserving the wonderfully
attractive features Of the city and the
Importance of not permitting them to
be Destroyed and disappear

wealth-work it properly. do not per
