MRS. cARMAN TO LAY BARE THE.
DETAILS OF HER LIFE

MineoIa, L. l., May 7.-Nerve-won
and CHASTITY pale, Mrs. Florence Car
man will take the witness stand in
her own behalf today in her fight
against death in the electric chair for
the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey.
She is prepared to bare the most
intimate details of her life. Mrs. Car
man, her attorneys promised, would
admit with all frankness that stories
that her husband was devil with
his women patients stung her heart.
She would admit, they promised, that
she installed a photograph in the doc
tors Office to verify these suspicious,
but found them groundless. She was
to complete the alibi set up for her
by other members Of the family, who
swore Mrs. Carman was upstairs in
bed on the night mysterious hand
reached through the window of the
doctors Office and assassinated Mrs.
Bailey.
Mrs. Carman's composure was
swept away by the startling nature
of the last thrIsts of the state. The
failure of her own counsel to break
the story of Celia Coleman, the negro,
maid, who swore her mistress con-
tossed the murder, affected her visi-

ITHIS POOR LITTLE KID IS TOO
YOUNG TO REALIZE

YOUNG TO REALIZE
Milwaukee,, May Little Johnny
Wodjik wants his brother. He is only
years old and he doesn't appreciate
the fact that the big stone-corridered
building where his mother is kept in
an, iron-barred room is jail. He
doesn't realize that his mother, Mrs.
Susie Wodjik, has confessed that she
strangled his 6-year-old brother,
Adam, because she was tired of
fighting for an existence" and that
she was only baked in her plan to
take her own and Johnny's life be-
cause Adams struggles unnerved her.
But he does know that his big broth
er has ''gone away"
That is the thing that prevents him
from being comforted by the kindness
Of the Jail matron and the big police
man. And that is the thing that is
driving Mrs. Wodtik to the verge of
madness.
Mamma, where's Addie?" is the
question he has put to her time and
again. The childish query bring fresh
to her hysteria-ridden brain the reali-
cation that her first-born is lying in
a freshly-made grave, the cruel red
marks on his throat put there by her
own hands. Johnny's insistent plant
is answered only by sobs. He is used
to seeing his mothers eyes swollen
with weeping-her hard struggle for
existence since her husband deserted
her three months ago having made
grief and misery her chief emotions.
He can't understand Adams refusal
to come and play with him, though
he wants his brother. Jail attendants
are considering the adyisability of
keeping Johnny from his mother I'M

vous breakdown.
