Defense in Trying to Prove
Mrs. Baily Was Murdered
by Man.
MINEOLA, L. I., Oct. 24. The
State closed its rebuttal in the Carman
case at 1 :50 this afternoon.
MtNEOLA, 1 I., Oct 21,-tntroduclng
through several witnesses a. mass of evi
dence nt tho llnlsh of Its ca.e lo prov

man whose Identity Is unknown, the de
fense In the trial of Mrs, Florence Cir
mrtn rested shortly lie fore noon todm
Tho Stato nt once began Its rebuttal evi
dence. Tho Indications are that the caso
will renin tho Jury Into this afternoon
Witness after witness each one n
strong one was placed on the stand b
tho defense In a mighty effort to show
that a mysterious man tired the shut
through tho window of Doctor Carman's
office.
A man who was passing tho house nt
the time, of the murder testified that he
saw a strange man fleeing from the
scene. Then a policeman, who had
charge of two bloodhounds belonging to
the Long Island Itallrond, which had been
used Immediately after the murder of
Mrs. Bailey In an effort to trace hor
slayer, gnvo strong testimony tending to
bhow that the person who lenncd on the
window-sill outride Doctor Cirman's of
fice and fired the fatal s'-ot run through
the yard and jumped over the fence,
running down the road after the murder.
Ho told how the bloodhounds picked up a
scent at the fence, carried It to the win
dow where they growled and then took
it back to the feneo ntid down the high
way again, where It was lost on the oiled
roadway.
Tho State at once. In Its rebuttal, began
to attack this evidence. That tho Dis
trict Attorney realized unless ho could
refute that testimony his caso Was lost
was apparent by the way In which he
began hli last tight.
Brighter and apparently more cheerful
than ever, Mrs Carman kept cloe tab
on all the evidence todav. She and Doc
tor Carman consulted with .Mr. Graham,
of her counsel, often during the morning

amined on rebuttal, l was announrel.
The State. District Attorney Smith said,
would then rest its case. Counsel on both
sides advised Judge Kelby that each
would want two hours for summing tro
the case. It is believed, therefore, that
the case will reach the Jury about 0
o'clock.
, MYSTERY IN LETTER.
A great deal of mystery is nttached to
a letter sent Justice Klby today. Gar
land: Gadden, an actor, handed an en
velope addressed to Attorney Levy to
Sylvester D. Tutliill, asking him to givo
it to tho lawyer. He did When Levy
opened the em elope he found another
Inside addressed to Justice Kelby. Ho
handed It to the Justice who then called
attorneys on both side to his chambers.
A few minutes later a bailiff asked if
Gadden was In tho room. Gadden
stood up and he was called Into the Jus
tice's chambers. A few minutes later
he left the courthouse. No explanation
was given.
Gadden was with Doctor Carman the
night that the physician alleges he was
Bhot at bv an unknown man while out
automoblllng.
SAW TLEKING MAN.
When the trial was resumed this morn
ing Itudolph Loewo, a chuuffiur. took tho
stand and told how ho heard a shot while
he was passing Doctor Carman's house
on the night of June SO. He wus about
33 feet from the house, he said. Follow
ing the sound of the shot, he said, a man
vaulted over the fenCH around Doctor i
Carman s yard and ran d
own tho street,
The man had on a dark su
ilt and no hat,
On cross-f.amination Loewe Bald he
first told of wbut he knew on September
27. when ho telephoned Doctor Carman.
He said the man he saw running was
about his own size. Loewe is about the
same size as Frank Farrell. the State
witness, who said he was In the yard tho
night of the murder and saw a woman
fire the "shot.
Loewe, while being cross-examined,
told of seeing two women come out of
the doctor's office, soon after the shoot
ing. He said after the man appeared and
ran down the road lie turned around and
looked in the doctor's ollicc. He said ho
could see the doctor holding a woman up.
Then, he said, a woman in white muiei
the doctor's office and at the same time
two women emerged from the house and
walked away.
Smith gave Loewe quite a grilling and
the witness hocamo somewhat confused
as to the location of places at the house,
but he didn't change his main testimony
In any particular.
ULOODHOl'NDS ON SCENT.
Ferdinand Miller, who has charge of the
bloodhounds belonging to the Long Island
Railroad Company that were used in an
effort to trace the murderer of Mrs.
Bailey, next testified. He simply told
of the hounds being used and then was
excused.
John J. Dunbar, a Freeport policeman,
next took the stand He told of first
seem? r arret), me state s witness, on
July P, standing on the edge of the Car.
man pjoperty with a newspaper in his
hand. He told him he would have tQ
"move on." he said.
Dunbar then told of his examination
of the Carman house and grounds. He
told 'of the picket bin;f broken off the
fenee and how the ground on the prop
erty on the other side from the Carman
yard showed signs of trampling. Dun
bar hail charge, he said, of the blood
hounds on the case. He said he first
took; the do?s to the yard adjoining tho
Carnwn hou at the spot where the
fence was broken. He said they picked
up a scent there and went directly to
the window of JJoetor Carman's office
through which the ftal shot was fired
There, he said, one of the dogs growled
as it sniffed the window sill. From there
he said the hounds followed the scent
back, to the fence again, owr it, across
the adjoining property to the street and
down the Merrick road. The trail was
foUowd as far as Lynnbrook. he said,
where it was lost in the oiled roadway,
Diwbar was not quizzed very closely
on cross-examination.
THE "STRANGE: MAN"
Harriet R Wallace, who lives around
the corner from the Carman home on
Ocean avenue, was next on the stand.
She sold sbe left home between SiO and

Inc1 wns the first witness In rebuttal
for tho State He told of going to the
Cam .in home nt about 0 30 o'clock on the
n.gbt of the Minuting, of see'ng a crowd
of about 20 pel smis them and of nothing
one man tump oer the fence.
His testimony was given, It was np
parent to disprove the evidence of the
olllcer who told of the bloodhound's work
Tho State sought to how that with such
a crowd about the dogs would not be
able to follow a scent through the yard.
Following Lamb, ShrrilT l'ettlt was re
called to tho stand In an effort to dis
credit Dunbar's testimony In regard to
seeing Fnrrell. Pcttlt swore Dunbar told
him he first saw Kartell at the Hilts'
Club when Pcttlt ami Smith were ex
amining him there.
Constable Phlneas Seaman was called
ns another witness to discredit the
bloodhound story. He told of being at
the Carman house the night of the mur
der and said that several persons In
the crowd there leaned on the window
sill there where the murderer's arm
reitcd before the bloodhounds were used.
H said It would bo impossible for the
docs to have nicked nn n scent there.
i ,onmnn swore that on that night Dunbar

the question aftt-r reconvening.
WOMAN EXPECTS ACQUITTAL.
Few could be found today who did not
believe Mrs. Carman was certain of ac
quittal. The accused woman and mem
ber') of her family are confident she will
leave the Jail by tonight at least, and
motor to lie home, free of the charge
which has kept her within the shadow of
the electric chair for the last three months.
The worst that Is predicted for Mrs. Car
man is a disagreement of the Jury. Few
expect this. District Attorney Smith pri
vately states thut he ha.s little hope of
conviction.
The story told by Cella Colenvin Is now
denied under oath, not only by Mrs. Car
man, but by every member of tho house
hold. The Jury has onlv the maid's un
corroborated testimony to consider, and
this will be attacked by Mr. Graham,
rounfel for the accused woman. In point
ing out that if this story Is true, then
Cello, has perjured herself at least once,
signed two statements whlci were false
and llnl consistently. It will be the con
tention of the defence that while In the
hands of private detectives, housed,
clothed and fed as she had never been
before, this story ot Cella's was gradu
ally suggested to her mind. Cella said
she "felt sorrv for Mrs Cnrmnn."
The State will contend that Cella. under
tho Influence of Mrs. Carman, withheld
tno truth. Away from the Carman home,
however, and among people of her own
race. Celb decided to tell all. District At
torney Smith will argue
If the storv told hy Pelia is not true
the, only explanation of it Is that tho
shooting took such hold on her Impres-
i slonanle Negro mind that with subtle
suggf-ninn
from detertives It grew upon
her un'll h, he'leveij
all that she told

Cnntlntird from Tnge One
the longing for rovengo that, without
having "got the word " Vnre followers
ntc already looking forwnrd to the
slaughter on November 3. Each dfiy of
uncertainty and abseKce of Instructions
develops now strength In the revolt. Ac
cording to South Fhllndelphlans, It Is
now too late to turn back tho tide to
ward Penrose.
SOWING SEEDS OF REVOLT.
Since Monday, when the North Amoil
enn first recounted a story that all Varc
men had heard without believing, hatred
of Penrose has been concentrating Into a
movement for "knifing." Five days of
revolt and recrimination have been all
the Vare followers needed for lining up.
Varc ward leaders, and the workers who
follow them have been quietly sowing
the seeds of revolt. "Look what they're
doing to Our Bill," they say. "Would
you stand for that? Would you stand for
a man that said Bill Vato bribed Rcy
turn?" From the talk In South Philadelphia
you gather that they won't. South Phil
adelphia has "stood" for too much from
Penrose and McNIchoI. The day of reck
oning Is at hand. Vare men, ccrtnln
enough of their position to speak freely,
know that they hold the magic wand be
fore which the Penrose candidacy bows.
A wave In tho wrong direction and he la
beaten, they say.
"Penrose will come down to South Phil
adelphia bndlv beaten," one man said.
"II Is In these Vare wards that Penrose
will be elected or defented. If we throw
our weight against him he Is lost. It
might have been tho other way If tho
North American had kept quiet But !
when wc all see what happened and hear
Our Bill challenge Penrose to make good
or punish the North American, then there
Is nothing doing on Penrose for the peo
ple who like the Vares."
South Philadelphia has been swallowing
the Penrose pill with a sugar coating
specially prepared by the Vare leaders.
It was always this way, one of them ex-
plained: "You won't have to vote for
Penrose because he Is Penrose, but be-
cause we need n Republican Senator. Wo
don't caic what his namo Is, but wo I
must have a Republican In the Senate. If
there was any one else, you could vote
for him, but there Isn't any one else, so It
will have to bo Penrose"
But theio Is no need now for sugar
coating the Penrose pill, the Vare men
ate flatly tef using to swallow it.
CHARGES, IF TRUE'
BAR PENROSE FROM
SENATE, SAYS PALAIER
"If the charges made by tho North
American are true, Senator Penrose, even
If elected, will never be able to tnke his
seat In the L'nlted States Senate."
this sutemont was made hy A. Mit
chell Palmer, Domocrutlo candidate for
the Senate, who spoke at a rally in tho
Schuylkill Arsenal, 20th street and Gray's
Ferry road, at noon today.
Denunciations of Senator Penrose by
both Mr. Palmer and Vance C. McCor
mlclt featured the meeting in Congress
man Vare's own district. Police were on
hand to guard against any "bullying,"
and the only disturbance happened when
a Penrose button-wearer, so intoxicated
that he could hardly stand, attempted to
make an entry. He was quickly ejected
from the hall.
Mr Palmer said. "At the beginning of
the. campaign. I msself, made more than
50 Indictments against Senator Penrose,
but It would seem that the Indictment
idea has become contagious. The North
American lias made charges against Pen
rose which are far more serious than any
I have made. Mr. Vure has now Indicted
Senator Penrose declaring that Penrose
has either ited,' or else he is too great a
cownrd to answer the North American.
"If what the North Amerlcan'sajs is
true. Senator Penrose, even If elected, will
never be able to take his seat In Congress
In a thousand years. The Senate of the
United States will never permit Itself to
be contaminated by having such men
among its members.
"Senator Penrose has been telling you
that the issue Is the tariff, but any man
who votes for Penrose will be voting for
a delusion. The one vote that Penrose
has In Washington can make no change
in the general stand upon the tariff In
ino next six years.
The man who
does vote for Penrose '
will bo voting for the continuance of the
political machine which has corrupted
ana almost, ruineq tne fitate "
Mr. MeCormlck challenged Doctor
Brumbaugh to declare himself as to his
stand on Penrose and Penroselsm.
"Penrose and Republican State halrman
Crow." Mr. MeCormlck said, "are equal
ly dangerous to the political purity of
Pennsylvania." He also blamed Penrose
for the fact that the State had no ade
quate workmen's compensation, child la
bor and working hours for women laws.

DR. WHITE SEEKS AID
FOR BELGIUM PROFESSORS
Refugees From University of Lou
valn Destitute, at Oxford.
An nppeal for aid for destitute Belgian
colloge professors and their families has
been Issued by Dr. J. William White, of
this city. Doctor White makes the ap
peal on the basis of a letter received
by him from Sir William Osier, setting
forth the plight of the Belgian profes
sors and their families, who are now
refugees at Oxford. Doctor White de
clares: "All America knows the tragedy of the
anqiont and honored Unlversltv of Lou
vain and, It is safe to say, nearly all
America sympathizes with the over
whelming griefs and sufferings, nnd at
tho sanio time admires tho dauntless
courage of the Belgians.
"It seemed to me that an opportunity
presented itself to aid with great direct
ness (nnd with no administrative or other
charges) a most deserving and necessitous
group of this outraged people, and to do
so through persons who were once our
esteemed nnd valued fellow citizens.
"I have hitherto mado no public op
peal, but through notes to personal
friends I have had the pleasure thus far
of sending to Doctor Osier $2331 for the
specific purposo of helping to put some
Joy and comfort Into the lives ot thesa
victims of this Infamous war, and also
of enabling the Belgian men of learn
ing to take up nnd carry on at least a
portion of their studies and researches.
"1 deslro now also to call public atten
tion to the urgent need of these ladles
I tw the r nit ful s
i nLi , some a
I "E 'C '' ,t, JZI? ,
and gentlemen of Belgium, with the hope
ituatlon may especially
of our neonle who are
able and willing to give, but who have
not thU3 far been effectively reuched by
tne more general requests for aid."

ADVOCATES SOCIAL SERVICE
County Medical Society Would Have
Department in Every Hospital.
Social service departments for all hos
pitals are recommended in the annual
report of the Committee on Hospital Ef
ficiency of tho County Medical Society,
Just published. The report dwells on the
necessity for a uniform system of re
ports from each city hospital. This sub
ject has beejiushcd for years by the
society.
A copy of the raport was sent to each
hospital In the city. It was urged that
no physician be kept on the staff of a
hospital who is not actually doing the
work nbslsnecl to him. Heretofore, It Is
said, physicians were attached to staffs
to secure the prestige of their names and
their work was relegated to assistants.
Tho committee which drew up tho re
pot t Is composed of Dr. Edward Martin,
chairman; Dr. Robert G. Le Conte, Dr.
John D. McLean. Dr. George B. de
