She emphvtically tated that between 7.30 o’clock and 8, while Mrs. Batley was in the doctor's ofoe, she did not leave her sleeping room. Her daughter, Elizabeth, practiced upon the plano on the ground floor until she was told by her mother to stop as the doctor was busy and it might annoy him. COLORED MAID SAW NO ONE IN REAR. Every one in the household had finished dinner by 7.30 o'clock. Cella Coleman, the colored servant, testified that ehe was busy with her duties |in the kitchen and dining room from 7.30 on and that no person nor persons entered the rear of the house or passed through kitchen or dining room while she was there. She was sure she was not absent from her quarters! in that part of the house and would certainly have seen any one who entered from the outside or from another part of the house while she was attending to her work. | Two patients who were in the waiting room, George Golder and Archie | Post, agree with Mrs. Carman, Mrs, Conklin, Mra.

Dr. Carman has stated to the authorities and to everyone who has in- terviowed him that after Mrs. Bailey had consulted with him and he had prescribed for her, he arose to accompany her to the door of the office. | She was on his right, he says, and he had his left hand on her shoulder, Nearing the door to open ft, he heard the crash of glass in the far window | 0 JEALOUS to trace the murderer, Also there wos @ careful atudy and inapection of the Carman premises.

Dr. William H. Runcie, who lives across the Merrick Road from Dr. Carman and is bis intimate friei.1, came later in answer to a summons by telephone from Dr. Carman. He informed Runcle that a woman had been shot to death in his office. Dr. Runcte hurried over and found the | body of Mra. Bailey on a couch in the office, and the story of the shooting an already related was told to bim by Dr. Carman. Acording to Dr. Runcle, he entered the Carman home at about 8.80 o'clock and after hearing the story asked Dr, Carman if he had notified the authorities of the shooting. Receiving 4 reply in the negative, he asked “Why.” To this Dr, Carman made answer that he was so busily engaged (in trying to identify the body, in getting him (Dr, Runcie) and other- wise doing what he could in the case, that he had entirely forgotten to make the notification, But he pro- | ceeded to do so by telephone, en- deavoring to locate Coroner Norton, | whom he eventually found in Hemp- stead and urged to come forthwith | to the Carman house. NO SUSPICION OF AN “INSIDE CRIME” AT START. Archio Post failed to find Bedell, the blacksmith, so Dr. Carman went himself to get him, and when Bedell arrived he immediately identined the body of the murdered woman aa that of Mre, Louise D, Bailey.

WHAT HAPPENED JUST AFTER SHOOTING. Immediately after the shot was fired, George Golder entered the office |from the waiting room and his testimony corroborates the statements of | the physician as to the conditions in the room. The doctor claimed at that moment that he did not know the murdered woman, but that he thought he had met her while visiting another patient in Hempstead. He wished Theodore Bedell, a blacksmith, sent for, Bedell having been with him at a funeral when he had met the woman who proved to be Mrs. Bailey. Dr. | Carman therefore instructed Golder to get Bedell, but Golder transferred jto shop and had then gone to New ; continued their investigations, which The reply of Dr. Carman to this! was that he had been told of the dictograph that morning by his wife. Mrs. Powell, by the way, te: tified that she had seen Mrs. Carman ripping out the instrument very early on the morning after the murder. Dr, Carman had been told by his wife, he said, that she had taken up the dictograph and hidden it in the garret between tho lathing and t weather boards of the house. Ther upon the Sheriff and other officials went to the garret with Dr. and Mrs. Carman and found the instrument a: she had described. Subsequent | | vestigation with a magnet resulted in the fishing up of another part of the dictograph in the space wherein the instrument had been concealed. The dictograph incide: motion in the house, The local police arrived in due course as did Sheriff Pettit. Statements of the circum. stances leading up to the crime and of its immediate events were taken from the members of the household and at 9.40 o'clock Madeline Batley, the daughter of the murdered woman, was informed by telephone that her mother had been seriously Injured in Dr. Carman’s office in Freeport. Mrs. Duryea, Mrs. Bailey's mother, was called to the telephone and she gave the information to William D, Bailey, the husband. Mrs, Duryea believed her daughter had been struck by an automobile and made Preparations to go to her when a message arrived that Mrs. Bailey had been murdered.

She explained to Dr. Carman that she had a call which would keep her busy for five or six weeks and asked him to lend her $50. After a brief talk Dr. Carman gave her $15 and at that moment there waa a rapping at the far window of the office, the very one from which it is claimed Mra. Bailey was shot. After the rapping Mrs. Carman came into the office, and In her rage slapped Mrs. Varance in the face and took the $15. Owing to the excite. ment of the moment, Mrs. Varance is not quite clear in her recollection of what happened, but she says she cannot conceive why Mrs. Carman attacked her.

Celia Coleman, the Carmans’ col- ored servant, who ta considered so important a witness for the prosecu- tion, has been taken to Mineola and | will be called before the Grand Jury. It was reported that she had been kid- napped by detectives in the employ of the prosecution, but District-At- torney Smith denies this. A considerable effort 1s being made by the defense to besmirch the char- acter of Bardes. Efforts are beiug made to refute his testimony by bringing forward a young girl of Freeport with whom he spent part of the evening of June 30. It is claimed by the defense that he could not have been with the young woman and also been a witness to anything that happened at the Carman house. The District-Attorney says thnt at the hour he met the young woman there had been ample time for him to have been in the neighborhood of Dr. Car man's office at the moment of th tragedy. There is a growing opinion in Free: port that Bardes's testimony is un: worthy of belief and that he te im- aginative, and a notoriety-seeker. But tho District-Attorney feels sure he is telling the truth. If this be the case it Is to be regretted that he did not at once appear and tell of what he had seen, that at least he did not say something to Mrs. Gerken about it when they wero in the cemetery. The following questions present e themselves in the effort to solve the | mystery of the murder of Mrs, Louise 1D. Balley: 1, THE INTENT—Did murderer intend to kill Batley or Dr, Carman? 2. THE MOTIVE—What rea son did the murderer have for the commission of the crime? 8.T HE OPPORTUNITY— What intimate knowledge did the murderer possess that the victim of the crime was in a position in the office of Dr. Carman that per- mitted the successful perpetra- tion of the crime as it was per- petrated? 4. THE CRIME—Was the mur- der committed as stated? 5. OTHER OPPORTUNITIES —Could not either Mrs. Bailey or Dr. Carman have been killed with much more ease and with far lese chance of detection the Mrs. elsewhere? ‘These questions I propose to answer in their numerical order. As to the 8 and determined effort to kill her alone, But we might consider that the assassin, not a perfect marksman, was astonished at the result achieved by the shot. Whether it was acci- dental coincidence that the bullet went true to its mark or whether it was fired directly at the victim by an assailant in the room, which would account for such accuracy, the | bullet was discharged with such dia- bolically good aim that Mrs. Bailey | died within a few minutes.

If the statements as to the commission of the crime are | correct, the murderer must also have | known of the intention of the vic tim to depart from the office and was determined to frustrate it with a bullet.

VIOLENT JEALOUSY OF DOC- TOR'S WIFE PROVED. While there is no direct evidence that Mrs. Carman committed this crime, beca' the witness, Bardes, does not identify her without doubt asx the woman he swears he saw walk away from the broken window, thera are some very peculiar and damaging circumstances worthy of | consideration, | We find that on April 20 last, Mi |Carman went to the very window through which the shot is alleged to | [have been fired, and there spied upon | the actions of her husband and Mrs. | |Varance, the trained nurse. At that) time Mrs, Carman rapped upon the window to notify those within that she had seen, Her agitation was great that she went to the doctor's | office, demanded admission and, after criticising Dr. Carman and Mrs. Var- | ance for @ money transaction she | had seen, assaulted Mrs. Varance |with a blow in the face.

Was it not her duty to the victim r a identifying her? Should she not have been one of the very first persons to co-operate with her husband in deter- mining how this woman had met her death? Her excuse for not having entered the office was that after the Varance incident h her to cross the thres! while a patient was with HAS EXPRESSED NO SYMPATHY TO VICTIM'S FRIENDS. Another singular feature of the tragedy is the fact at although Mrs. Bailey was murdered in her home, Mrs. Carman has never ocom- municated in any way with the fam- ily of the dead woman. She has never expressed to the mother, the hus- band nor to the two motherleas ohil- dren the least word of sympathy in their tragic sorrow. Thiv bas an @l- most_inhuman aspect. f Dr. Carman surely has his own troubl his tim his wife is guilty or innocent of the murder of Mrs. Bailoy, this ia no time to criticise some of his acts.
