CARMAN 5 DEFENSE IS AIDED BY THREE STRANGE MYSTERIES IN THE TRAGEDY What Defendant Heard Over Dicto- graph and Where Revolver and Two Women Witnesses Vanished Unknown on Eve of Trial. (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) MINZOLA, L. I., Oct, 17.—It is with all the preamble and character of} en adroit French crime, such, for instance, as thrills one in the pages of | Geboriau and Du Boisgobey, that the Carman case comes to trial on Mon- day morning in the Mineola Court House, From the very beginning there has been a Gallic flavor to the case that reaches its quintessence in the placing of a woman on trial for her lite, charging that she fired the shot whieh sent another womall Crimpling down in death in a physician's office, It wére French enough had the! victim been a man, but with a woman paying her life for that ahot, one! looks instanter to see Monsieur Lecoq pot hat held at the studied angle in his slim, white hand. One 1s at once prepared for mys- tery, for elusiveness here and there, and indeed one finds it with scarcely more than @ glance at the Carman case, There are several eléments of it which have taken wings, flown away, vanished, One of them Is the revolver with which the crime was committed.

Another elemont, scarcely less im- portant, is that of the two women who were in @ room adjoing that in which the murder occurred and fled prectpl- tately at the firing of the shot, They have utterly disappeared, And finally, the last words that ever quivered over the wires of the dicto- raph concealed in Dr, Carman’s office —these, too, are gone, It was they, the prosecutor maintains, Istened to by Mrs. Carman tn her closet upstairs, that prompted her to take the revol- hasten down and fire through a garden window, which she herscif broke, the bullet which killed Mra, Bailey.
