PRINCIPAL FIGURES IN CARMAN MURDER CASE. MAID'S STORY FALSE Alleged Murderess of Woman in Husband's Office Tes tifies in Own Behalf. JEALOUSY IS ALSO DENIED MRSL CABMAN SAYS Explanation. Is Orrered for Every . Acknowledged Act on Xight ot IShooting Husband Declared Attentive to Xurse. MINEOLA, N. T., Oct 22. Mrs. Flor. I nice Conklin Carman took the witness stand in her own defense in Supreme Court here late today to enter a sweep ing denial of the charge that she mur dered Mrs. Louise Bailey. Item by item she went over the story f Celia Coleman, the negress in her employ, at the time of the tragedy in the Carman home in Freeport last June, and declared false every accusa tion made against her by the ex-maid. A fabrication from beginning to. end was, in the essence, her characteriza tion of the maid's narrative of the alleged events on the night Mrs. Bailey -was shot and killed in the office of Edwin Carman, husband of the defend ant, and of subsequent happenings in the Carman home. aiald'a Testimony Is Attacked. The story told by the girl was of fered by the prosecution as tending di rectly to connect Mrs. Carman with the shouting and the efforts of Mrs. Car man's counsel today in questioning his client were designed chiefly to dis credit the servant's testimony. Mrs. Carman responded with alacrity end seemingly with entire frankness to the questions of her attorney. Her demeanor was that of a woman in com plete command of herself. On occasions she smiled. Again her lace wore an expression of sadness, as when she mentioned her visit to the morgue to view the body of the woman whom the state charges she killed. She looked into the faces of the jurors with steady eyes when she desired to Impress them with some particular point and she seemed resentful when certain points in the story of the negress were under discussion. Revolver Given Prosecutor. "I did not show Celia a revolver " Baid Mrs. Carmen in denying the maid's testimony. "The only re 'volver I ever handled was a little one the doctor kept in his bureau drawer That was a little one. I gave It to the IMstrict Attorney. "Celia Coleman did not speak the truth when she said she tried to keep me from going into the nffir-o i not tell Celia 1 would take care of her "y it anytning should happen to her. Neither did 1 ever give Celia Jo and tell her that was for keeping her mouth shut. 1 never winked at Celia when you were asking me ques tions. I ditl not tell Celia the day after the murder to get Mr. Conklin Irom the barn, as 1 wanted Kim to get the revolver out of the house. "I did not go to Celia's room the morning after the murder. I did not say: '1 hope God will forgive me. Oh why did 1 kill that woman."" Mrs. Carman then took off her gloves and exhibited her bare arms to the jury. Scars on Arnu Denied. "I never had any scars on them." she eaid. "They were not there on the night of June 30." Mrs. Carman was on the witness stand nearly an hour under direct ex amination. She will undergo cross examination tomorrow. The defense sprang a surprise when George M. Levy, her attorney, called her name and asked her to take the ' stand. The court had been adjourning every day at 4:30 o'clock. The crowd in the courtroom had been listening with little apparent interest to stories told by witnesses called in an effort to break down the testimony offered by i'rank Farrell, the Bowery character who is another of the people's impor tant witnesses.' Many of those who hart K.en - tendance throughout the day had left when the defendant was called, nearly 15 minutes after the recuii- ,.)(,,,, time, lf' ' i stdLif Ph otos by Underwood & Underwood. ,T.L.S.'

She said she had heard people ask her husband "how all his, giriB were." , Sometimes he had stayed out all night. Because of her daughter she said she did not want to obtain a divorce, but if her husband was as bad as he had been painted to her she wanted to know it. If she found what she had heard was true, she said, she had determined that she woukl continue to live in the tame house with him as if nothing had ever happened, but that she would never speak to him again.

She ad rnitted. too. that on one occasion she looked in the same window as that through which the assassin of Mrs. Bailey fired. But this, she said, was because she knew a trained nurse he appeared to be fond of was in his office. First Group to Arrive Here Today to Aid Cause.
