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

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- ,.)(,,,,

Serret Phone Admitted.
The wife of the Freeport physician
admitted that she had installed a tele
phone instrument in her husband's of
fice, but she flatly denied that she
was "insanely jealous." 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. Then, on
the morning after the murder, she de
clared she tore out the device that the
Attorney had termed a "me
chanical eaves-dropper," because she
muugni. ner nusoand already had
enough to bother him. She explained
every action.
Another Woman lu Case.
Mre. Carman even corroborated some
cf the state's witnesses by admitting
that on the evening of the murder she
Jiaa cauea to her daughter. Elizabeth,
to stop playing the piano. But she did
this, she swore, because she had a
headache and not. as the prosecution
has intimated, because she wanted to
listen over the mechanical eaves
dropper to what her husband was say
ing to a woman in his office. 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.
