Y., Oct. dent of The Evening Werld.) —For the first time since she was arrested for the murdgr of Mrs. Louise Bailey, Mrs. Florence Carman betrayed emotion to-daY when her little daughter Elizabeth went on the witness stand to testify for the defense. Mrs, Carman, who had just fine ished the ordeal of undergoing the cross-examination of District-Attorney, Smith, broke down when the name of Elizabeth Carman was called. She wept all the time the child was on the stand, The cross-examination failed to shake Mrs, Carman’s Story in any tme portant detail. Nor was her composure shaken when the District-, -Attorney, questioned her minutely upon the state ot her mind as to her husband, Many of the questfons asked her were embarrassing, but she answered alf without damaging her direct evidence. Her daughter followed her on the stand when she was excused-a§ 11.30 o'clock. Then followed Mrs. Conklin, her mother, and Mrs, Idq Powell, her sister. Both swore that she was upstairs in. her room.io De Carman’s residence when Mrs. Bailey was shot in the oftie om . ground floor. Dr. Carman was called to the stand this afternoon.

He sald he didn’t see his Wife in his office that night. MRS. CARMAN SMILES ON THE STAND. Mrs, Carman's cross-examination began at the opening of court to-day. As she@pok her seat in the witness chair she smiled on the Judge, the jury and the spectators and composed herself as though for a pleasant chat. This attitude, however, did not endure for long, Something in Mr. Smith’s very quiet and restrained manner, seemed to jar her easy and communicative attitude at the very start, and she straightened back, squaring her shoulders across the back of the witness chair, gripping the arms with her hands, but occasionally raising her right hand to her lips.
