Carman, at 5.35 o'clock Saturday AFTER
noon, was publicly declared not guhty
of the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey III
the Carman home at Freeport on June
30, 1914.
The word publicly" is used because
the jury decided to acquit a few min
utes after thep were sent to their room
and / hour and Is minutes before they
marched into court.
Mrs. Carman showed no emotion when
the announcement was made by Peter
Rohrback. Jr.. foreman Of the jWy.
Verdict Quickly Reached
The jury retired at 4.2O Mrs. Carman
was taken to the office Of Warden Shuttle
in the Jail adjoining the courthouse. She
was accompanied by her husband, DIR.
Carman, her daughter Elizameth, her
father, Plat Conklin, and Ter mother.
Most Of the great crowd Of spectators
that had through the summing Of George
M. Levy, Mrs. Carman's lawyer, and
District Attorney Smith, and Justice
Blackman's charge. stayed in the court
room. AS on the other days there were
William B. Bailey. husband Of the MUIR
der victim. his daughter Madeline, and
Mrs. Bailey's mother, Mrs. Jennie Dur
yea, left the building. 1t was believed
that the jury would be out several hours.
For several minutes before the jury
appeared in court it was known that a
verdict had been reached. No time
was lost in communicating the fact
to Mr.. Levy and when he reached the
office Of Warden Shuttle, he told Mrs
Carman. The news was not productive
of the anticipated outburst Quite as
calmly as if she had been told lhat
dinner was served she received the in
formation that in the eyes Of the law
suspicion had been removed from her

few seconds later Justice Blackmar
took his seat.
A few of the jurors looked f1eetingly
at Mrs. Carman as they waited for the
question to be asked. The court or
dered them to rise and then Samuel
c. Ransome. the clerk, asked them II
they had agreed upon a verdict.
I'VE have" said Rohrback, the fore
man.
Mrs. Carman was not asked to rise.
What is your verdict, gentlemen
RansoMe asked.
1--WE find the defendant not guilty.
said Rohrback.
Some Of the women spectators ap-
plauded by clapping their hands.
Others shouted Good" The noise
was checked by the court.
Plat Conklin leaned over to con.
graduate his daughter. Mrs. Carman
walked to the jury box and shook
each juror by the hand. She smiled
as she greeted each.
To her thanks the jurors returned
theirs. The Jurors seemed very joy
full.
"A few women and one or two men
came over to tell Mrs. Carman that
they had never doubted her innocence.
Meanwhile, some of the jurors moved
around shaking hands with various
court attendants. When congratula-
tions had been given her, Mrs. Car
man circled around the courtroom
shaking hands and smiling at per-
sons who had been familiar figures
throughout the trial.
The jurors said they had agreed not
to say anything about how they
reached their verdict.
1.-The verdict tells it's own story"
said Rohrback. We've been put to a
hard test and the least said about it,
the better"
