.1 ____ - rH E NASSAU POSTS PN E S ^ ^ H T N. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1914 fled until at least forty-five minutes after Mrs. Bailey died. '“There seems to have been Just two Ideas In Dr. Carman's bead after that shot was fired. One was to get bold of bla friend, Dr. Runcie; the other to get hold of bis friend, Theodore Bedell. He did not run to that window, as a m«n would be expected to do, to find out who had shot at him. Yet be said he believed the shot was Intend ed for him and not Mrs. Bailey. \He asked Oolder to go for Bedell, and Oolder sent, Archie Post, because the latter had a bicycle and could go more quickly. Post could not find him. Then Dr. Carman himself went looking for him and the police remain ed unnotifled. \Why was he so anxious for Be dell T He told me after the shooting that he went for Bedell because he wanted him to identify the woman’s body . But why was he so anxious for that identification? \Subsequently he said he did not re member seeing Mrs. Bailey there at all, but that she had told him, when she came into his office that night, that she had seen him. \After he had gone out of his house and hunted up Bedell and talked with him and walked back home with him, then, and not until then, was It de cided to call up the police. The rejk ords of the police blotter show that they were notified at 9 o’clock. The best testimony available established the shooting at 8:15 p. m„ or earlier. \ 'Why, in God’s name,’ I asked Dr. Carman. 'If you thought they were shooting at you, didn't you try to find out who it was? Why were you so anxious to have an identification of the body? Why didn’t you leave that to the police?’ ” \Has It been definitely established that a previous acquaintance existed between Dr. Carman and Mrs. Bailey or will such an acquaintance be estab lished ?\ Mr. Smith was asked. “I should not be surprised if It were established,\ answered the District At torney. It is known on good authority that he has every reason to believe that this will not be a difficult m atter. The officials have much more evidence than they will admit in their posses sion. A story which a negro woman, Mar tha Parrish, was reported to have to.d In Rockville Centre, but which she de nied to detectives, said that CeUa Coleman, the negro servant of the Carmans, said she had not told the truth at the inquest. According to the account, the Coleman girl told Mr. P a rrish that she was upstairs, half un dressed, when she heard the shot; that she ran out of her room to see what had happened she m et Mrs. Car man coming up the back stairway, and that Mrs. Carman ordered her to go back to bed and say nothing about having seen her. The Parrish woman, who is the maid of Eunice Clayton, an actress, was badly frightened this evening when Detective Thomas Murray and a Burns operative stepped into her home at Rockville Centre and ordered her to tell what she knew about the shooting CLASSIFIED ADS.

I’ve never seen that girl in all my life, so how could she tell me any story T’ The detectives piled M artha with questions for twenty-five m inutes, but could not shake her. H e r only re sponse : “Why, 1 don't even know that Cole man woman.\ M artha said she had been here for only five weeks and had come from New York. Another Important witness, *'ho, It Is believed, was the last person to s.;e Mrs. Louise Bailey before she entered the office of Dr. Carman the night of the m u rder, was Harry De Beau of Mlneola real estate man, who lives at Hempstead and has known Mrs. Bai ley for fifteen years. His testimony will have an Important bearing on fix ing the exact time the shot that killed Mrs, Bailey was fired. Mr. De Beau says that about 7.13, not later than 7.15, he say Mrs. Bailey not more than fifty feet from the Carman house. He Is sure that If she entered the office of the physi cian at once it would not have been later than 7.20 o'clock. \I am positive of the time,” Mr. De- Beau said, \ and 1 am positive that the woman I saw was Mrs. Bailey, A business associate and myself got on the trolley car at the Freeport sta tion on our way to a hotel on the shore where we were going for dinner. The car left the station at 7.10. I am sure of this, because I looked at my watch. ‘When we reached the Merrick road at Grove st., the car stopped, I look ed out of the window and saw Mrs. Bailey standing in front of Dr. Flet cher's office, which Is on the north east corner, apparently waiting for the car to pass. I am ^positive it was Mrs. Bailey, because 1 have known her for fifteen years. \1 turned to my friend and said: \I wonder w h at Is bringing \BiU” Bai ley’s wife over here.’ ” Mr. De Beau’s statement supports the testimony of George Golder, the farm hand, that the shooting took place before 8 o’clock. He said he en tered Dr. Carman’s office at 7.30 and that fifteen minutes later he heard the ehoL Dr. Carman fixes the time as between 8.15 and 8.30 o’clock. While counsel for Mrs. Carman was hard at work arranging for her de fence, she was being treated more like a guest than a prisoner In the Mlneola jail. She occupied part of her time by reading Shakespeare. Dr. Carman had luncheon w ith his wife. W hen he drove over to the Jail In the morning he carried her a large bunch of flowers. He was allowed to remain with her the entire afternoon, although the rules of the Nassau County jail make Thursday the only visiting day. It was long after 5 when he, with his counsel, walked out of the rear entrance, *got into an auto with Sheriff Pettit and started back to Freeport. When her husband and Mr. Levy ar rived, she was told that Bardes, whose testimony was responsible for her ar rest, was a man whose word would never be trusted. Mrs. Carman is permitted the run of the warden’s quarters, and Mrs. Katherine Hulse, the warden’s wife, is her constant companion. “Why didn't they investigate the mati’.' i e(:ord before they sent me hon ?” she asked The county detectives and special detectives employed by the State took a magnet rod to the Carman house and began to work through the walls of the house. The detectives did not find any pistol, but they did find a piece of the dictograph. An agreement was reached yeater- day between the Carman counsel and District Attorney Smith by which the coroner’s hearing will go over until Tuesday, July 21. It will then be held in Freeport. Monday, when the hear ing is called. It will be formally ad journed to that date. In all probability there will be no coroner’s hearing, for the case will be presented to the grand Jury in Mlneo la next Tuesday, and within the week Mrs. Cannan will know, It seems cer tain, whether she will be Indicted for murder or be set free. The District Attorney today looked up the question of Coroner N o rton’s jurisdiction and decided in bla favor. Early yesterday morning Dr. Car man sent a detective to New ork to get affidavits from persons who claim- 7T ings leading up to the arrest of Mrs. Florence Carman. Mr. Wallace is a well known lawyer of the section and is the man who, when in the Legisla ture, passed the bill that created Ns- - saw County. • He is a man of attain ment and wide experience in the prac tice of criminal law. To a reporter for the Nassau Post Mr Wallace spoke without reserve. ed to know Elwood T. Bardes, and whose stories, it was hoped, would destroy the witness’s credibility. This followed a day’s work by Dr. Carman’s fast friend of sixteen years, Gardand Gaden, the actor, who was with him on the night that a man is supposed to have fired three shots at him. Gaden voluntarily went to New York York Thursday, and under the name of Mr. Murphy, visited these persons and got what information he I could from them regarding Bardes.
