United Press Staff Correspondent.
Dunkirk, Oct. 2 4. "A greater Bel
fiuro will be erected on the ruins now
strewn throughout our beloved coun
try by the barbarians."
That was the reply mad to me to
night by Ch. de Broquevllle, premier
of Belgium, who is conducting the af
fairs of tils shattered country from
this French city.
'I had appealed to him to tell the
people of the United States through
the United Press what he thought of
Belgium's future. lie granted me an
audience In the city hall here.
It was a singularly' Impressive in
terview. Through the open window,
the roar of V distant guns on tbn
battlefield where King Albert and his
devoted Belgians were still resisting
to the very 'last, could be plainly he&cd.
Predict s Better Nation.
There was no appearance of dpspao'
bout' the Belgian premier. Although
a strip a few mile wide represented
all that was left of his native land,
and he was conducting its affairs on
lien territory, he wa more than
hopeful.
"Belgium will 'emerge from her
trials cruelly torn and bleeding," he
said, "but morally she will be a far
bigger and better nation.
"While It would be premature to
publish our plans for the future, I can
assure the people of America that even
now, a well as for weeks past, the
king and myself have been consecrat
ing our spare time to the study of the
formulae to employ. I am able to as
sure you that we are prepared to fol
low out the plans finally selected
.with a maximum of rapidity. We are
determined on a national reconstruc
tion that will preserve to Belgium all
of which she l proud.
he Salutes the Future.
"We are cruelly suffering all of tho
anguish possible both In public and
private, but Belgium salutes the fu
ture with the proudest confidence in
her own ability.
"Belgium's people in that historic
"night of Germany's ultimatum, as I
had the honor to write Mr. Asqulth,
foresaw the pain and anguish of the
present moment, but Belgium, as one
man, thought with the king and his
advisers that there can be no hesita
tion when duty demands.
"We were asked to dishonor, but we
refused. There cannot be two honors.
Such moral force as our entire people
exhibited leads me to- hope that we
will rise rapidly from the accumulated
material ruins strewn throughout eur
l&eloved country by the barbarians.
"Belgium will be as energetic in
peace as she has been in war. And it
will not be the first time that great
things have sprung from heroic suffering.-

With All-Star Cast
Mineola, L. I.. Oct !4 Twelve long
Island farmers and business men. all
married, are debating tonight the ver
dict they shall bring In In the case of
Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, charged
wnn tne muraer of Mrs. Louise Duryea
Bailey.
At 9:44 o'clock, after having delivr
ered a charge occupying- 39 minutes.
Justice Kelby delivered the ease Into
the hands of the Jury. In lust 64
minutes there came a rap that signi
fied that the Jury wished to return to
court Immediately there was great
excitement throughout the court house.
Mrs. Carman was brought In from an
anteroom. She composed herself,
smiled at a few friends and sat back
In her chair, making visible efforts to
appear at ease.
But It was not to deliver their ver
dict that the Jury wished to return
to court. They had started debating
the evidence and merely wished to
have a portion of the testimony re
read to them. Before this could be
done, however, the jury changed its
mind and was not brought into the
courtroom. Once more the tenseness
set In. Mrs. Carman went back to the
anteroom and her father and mother,
nusbana and daughter and the other
members of the family conversed in
low tones in a corner of the court
room.
Judge's Charge Is Impartial,
Justice Kelby's charge was consid
ered fair and Impartial. It was de
livered in a passionless monotone, be
traying no interest In the case other
than to see Impartial justice dona
But Just before the judge started his
final exhortation to the jury. District
Attorney Smith had said to a few
newspaper men that he expected the
jury to acquit Mrs. Carman.
Justice Kelby told them they could
find the defendant guilty of murder
In the first or second degree or of"
manslaughter in the first or second
degree. More of his, charge was de
voted to defining the different de
grees. Mrs. Carman's nervousness was more
noticeable during the Judge's charge
and after the retirement of the Jury
for deliberation than at any time during
the trial except when ber daughter,
Elizabeth, and ber mother, Mrs. Piatt
Conklin, were testifying In her be
half. While Justice Kelby was deliv
ering his charge she bit her lips and
Bhifted nervously In her chair, but as.
the Jury retired she beamed brightly
on some of her friends who sat near
the railing of the court
After the first few minutes, after
the excitement of the jury leaving the
room bad calmed, the strain asserted
itself. Her conversation In the ante
room became "disjointed, almost in
coherent It was reported, and when
the first summons from the Jury room
came she was so excited that it re
quired a terrific effort of the will
for her to pull herself together.
Defendant Expects Acquittal.
Once In her seat however, it was
plain that she augured well from the
prompt communication from the Jury
chamber. That she expected to be ac
quitted within a few minutes was
obvious to the most easual observers.
Her excitement grew but it was a
pleasurable excitement
When the real Import of the sum
mons from the chamber of life or )
death dawned upon her. when she re
alised that the relaxed tension of wait
ing must be taken up again, the reac
tion was correspondingly severe. It
was a greater ordeal than she had
counted on apparently and litlt by lit
tle her remaining self confidence
seemed to ooze away from her.
' The ordeal of waiting seemed to be
even more severe for Dr. Carman than
for his wife. Perhaps it was only that
her will was stronger, her nerve better,
but at any rate, severe as was the
Strain upon the woman. It was more
severe upon her husband. He seemed
like a man about to be led to his death.
His face was pallid; ghastly. His
forehead was dewed with perspiration
and when he spoke his voice was
broken with the effort of gulping down
the great sobs of nervousness that
threatened to choke his utterance com
pletely. As. the minutes wore on, the hopei"
of all of Mrs. Carman's family and
friends for acquittal lessened. Dis
trict Attorney Smith's prohpheey of.
a verdict of not guilty had not been
repeated to them, but at tho begin
ning they had been as confident of a
full vindication as he had. When the
first hour had passed and the second
was well along, however, the firjt
wavering doubt was voiced by One of
the Carman party:
Disagreement Considered.
"Perhaps it will be a disagreement"
was the word spoken. But no one of
them seemed to think anything worse
than this could b borne through the
little door by the 12 men whose final'
word they were so anxiously waiting
The night session bad opened im
mediately after the Jurors had re
turned from dinner. Justice Kelby
began his charge without delay. He
said in part:
"You have been told frequently dur
ing the course of the trial that you
are the sole Judge of the facts. This
is the law of the state. I want you
to have that in mind throughout the
case. You must determine what the
facts are, irrespective of what either
the counsel say or what I have said.
or will say. You roust judge the case
and then render your verdict according
to the facts. The defendant starts
out with the presumption that she is
Innocent The defendant is charged
with causing the death of Mrs. Louise
D. Bailey and the indictment in effect
charges her with killing her with In
tent to kill. That is hemlclde?
