Q— Had you told the doctor that It was there at that time? A— No. Q—Why did you t h i n k It was neces- ] s ary to t a k e It out so early?

I thought I would take it out I and not let him know anythffig about I it; that If I was suspicious of him he ! wouldn’t have any one to go to. With the same reserve that she had exhibited throughout the entire time she was on the witness stand, Mrs. Carman told how she had taken the dictograph from the wall of her hus band's office in the early morning, garbed only in a night robe. She said she had t a k e n it to the attic and t h e r e j — y^ent'\home1 I n'Merrick road hidden ,t in a crevice between the ^ had llved for about aweive bers of thp* Carman family, the Jus tice-Coroner posed before a battery of photographers who had ararnged themselves in the window of the court room. Dr. Carman wfcs sent for, Doctor Carman the First Witness It was at 1.55 that the doctor ar rived. His rotund figure Is well known to Freeporters. He was clad in a gray sack suit and wore a rather gaudy Scotch plaid necktie in which blue stripes criss crossed with white. With bis red cheeks he presented the ap pearance of a truly patriotic Citizen op the day before the Fourth of July. The doctor was not wholly at his ease when he entered nor even as he stood up before Justice Norton and was sworn. H sajd he lived in Free port and waa a physician and surgeon by profession. Hla age Is forty-six he has been engaged in the prac- iu.e oi ineaicine lor twenty-five years. stairs and wall. The District Attorney questioned the witness closely about her visits to the attic, about the guns belonging to Dr. Carman stored there and the boxes in which she admitted she stored cloth ing. She said she had never fired a revolver and had never held one in her hand except when she cleaned the doctor's draw e r and moved his about. Mrs. Carman flatly declared t h a t she had never seen Mrs. Bailey until she went to t h e undertaker’s in Hempstead to view her body at t h e suggestion of her a ttorney, George M. Levy. She as serted th a t Mr. Levy had come to her home on another m a t t e r and someone suggested th a t he would be a good lawyer if t h e y needed one. Coroner Norton asked her if she had listened to the dictograph on the night of the murder. “ No I didn’t, she firmly declared. CROWDS THRONG ST R E E T S AND FILL DINGY POLICE COURT The courtroom was filled to the very doors long before the witness arrived. District Attorney Lewis J. Smith and his assistant George Weeks, Village President and Chief of police Roland M. Lamb, Sheriff Stephen P. Pettit, Constable Thomas W. Murray, Justice of the Peace oCrodon Norton, Counsel lor George M. Lfevy and members of the village police departm ent were of ficially recognized by tbe audience in which Mrs. Corodon Norton, wife of the Justice, stood out conspicuously as the only woman present. By special arrangem ents \Big Tom\ Thorp of the Evening Journal, was designated by the court to make up a roster of the reporters, one from years. He sat back in the witness chair and folded ha arm s as though to reassure hmself and folded his legs beneath him. The District Attorney opened the examination, the first of the inquest, in a pleasant conversational manner, refering to Mrs. aBlley as \Lulu a name which has not been heard in connection with the murder case thus far before. \Do you rememner Airs. Lulu Bai ley,\ began the District Attorney. \I do,’’ replied the doctor. \Did she call at your oiffee on Tues- day evening about twenty minutes of eight o’clock?” Mrs. Bailey Arrived at 7:40 The physician said that she had come to the house while he was at supper, presumably about 7.40, .and that he had seen her sometime there after perhaps about ight o’clock. The office into which Mrs. Bailey had been escorted the doctor said, was on the west side of the house. It contained two windows on the west side on on? overlooking an entrance porch on the south. The two sat down together and Mrs. Bailey reported her condi tion to the physician. Dr. Carman prescribed for Mrs. Bailey for a general run down condi tion and malaria, he said. His medi cine consisted of 2 grain quinine pills, pink. A 'Small white envelope was taken from the black hand bag by the Justice and shown to him. He said that it was apparently the same Jie had given to Mrs. Bailey on the nlgKf she was mysteriously felled by a bullet fired through one of the windows the 3 8 50.MAIN 5T. FREEPORT,LJ.

Mrs. aBlley may have been in the doctor’s office before, in fact, he recalled hazily that he had seen a woman who looked like her on the evening preceding the shooting. Of this he was not positive however for hs description of tbe woman was sim ply th a t she wore black and was sit ting in the waiting room when he went out on a hurried call. On the night of Mrs. Bailey’s visit the doctor walked together with her toward the door, he said.| He was on the west side of the room—on her right. As they reached the door to gether there was a crash at the win- tion it was a nickld gun. It was held by a whte hand on which I could dis tinguish two fingers. There was no part of the sleeve visible. I believe it was a left hand after going over the situation that obtained at the time. It would have been almost lmi>oss|ble for anyone to shoot holding a pistol In the right hand in the position that they would have to stand outside. \The pistol moved up and down af ter it had been poked through the win dow.
