(Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct. 21.—Celia Coleman, a young negréss, ac- cusing her former mistress, Mrs. Florence Carman, of the confessed mut- der of Mrs. Louise Bailey in Dr. Edwin Carman's office in Freeport, stuck to her story from 10 o'clock this morning almost until adjournment of-court at 4.30 this afternoon. Even Jack Rose, the bald gambler send- ing Becker to the death house at Sing Sing, kept his head no better or was more artlessly simple in manner and speech. John J. Graham, known to Nassau and to the Manhattan bar as one of the shrewdest and trickiest cross-examiners of his generation, could not make the girl change a word or a phrase of her accusation, From first to last she insisted that: ‘ First—She saw Mrs. Carman go out into the Carman yard just be- “fore there was the sound of a breaking,window and a pistol shot. Second—She saw Mrs. Carman in a kimono and light lace shawl we ba. weer run in just after the shot. Third—Mrs. Carman said to her, “I shot him,” or “1 shot them’—the irl could not tell which—and showed her a dark colored revolver, say- Ing, “See.” Mrs. Carman told her not to tell what she had seen. Mrs. Carman id the next day, “Good forgive me; why did I shoot that poor woman?” The negress admitted shamefacedly that she had lied time and again about the case, seeking to protect her former mistress. But no such admissions could be twisted into a means of making her admit that she amight be telling lies In to-day, “1 get down to the bottum truth now,” she said stolidly at the very heat of Mr. Graham's charge on her veracity. Nearly half the persons in the courtroom were women at the opening of the trial. Every one of them rose and craned her neck to get a look when Celia Coleman was led into the room from the front door. She gave her name. “Where do you reside?” asked Clerk Ransom severely. Celia rolled the extensive whites of her eyes and also showed her teeth, “Where do--you—lIlve? som. “Nor't C'lina,” sald Cella.
