Evening Post.l
NEW YORK, May 6.-Nothing in
today's news modified Or reversed
such differences as may have been
drawn from the news Of yesterday,
but the stock exchange was calmer.
The fortyaeight hour ultimatum went
from Japan 10 China; the Russian de-
feat in the Carpathians seemed to be
fully as complete as the Berlin dis
patches had originally claimed. The
stock market opened above yester-
days close-some of the overnight
advances running to point-and
there were further irregular advances
later. with the closing measurably
strong throughout
The movement of recovery was,
however, more deliberate than of late.
The bidding up of the war order in
dustriaIs" to the extent of several
points was accomplished on purchases
of small lots, and the standard shares
showed a frequent disposition to fall
back to the closing level of yesterday.
The market may have set some store
on the publication of tomorrow's
monthly wheat crop forecast by the
government; which is expected to be
highly favorable. Announcement Of
$50, OOO, 600 Argentine five year loan at
six percent was another contribution
to tho experimental testings of the
price of capital under the new condt-
lions.

BOMB SHELL FELL
IN CARMAN CASE
Negro Maid Tells Of Attempt Made
to Bride Her in Telling
Different story.
by N. c.. Parke, United Press Starr
CORRESPONDENT ..'...

By n. C. Parke, United Press Staff
Correspondent 49,.
| MINEOLA. l.. L., May 6-The state
hit home with crushing force today in
the Carman murder trial. The states
star witness, Celia Coleman, swore
that last December, months after the
] first trial of the wife of the Freeport
physician for murder, an attempt was
made to bride her to change her tes!i-
mony in favor of Mrs. Carman.
! This sworn statement of the negro
maid fe.l like bombshell in the Car
imam camp. The beautiful defendant
| showed she was hard hit for the first
| time since she has been accused nj
| the murder Of Mrs. Louise E. Bailey.
Her face paled until 1t was as white
as chalk She nervously clenched and
Iunclenched her hands.
Attorney Levy, her chief counsel,
appeared tnunderstruck.
Another blow was struck the de-
tense when George Toomey, the Cola
man girls cousin, testified that two
days after the murder-before the
coroner's inquest-Celia called on him
and told him what she later related on
the witness stand in the murder trial
of her seeing Mrs. Carman coming
into the kitchen carrying a revolv er
and exclaiming: I've shot him."
Levy could not shake the negro
maids story. When Prosecuting At
torney Smith took her in hand again,
she detailed the alleged bribery at
tempt.
Toomey was the next witness called
and after repeating Celia's story of the
shooting, as she told him, he said he
advised her ito keep it to herself
During the luncheon recess District
Attorney Smith told newspaperme1
that he expected later to introduce
more highly sensational evidence. He
declared he would prove by dicto-
graph that an attempt had been made
to tamper with one of his detectives.
