WOMAN'S RELEASE SOUGHT
Dr. Carman Prepared to Furnish
Bail to Amount of
$500,000
By Associated Press
Mlneola, N. Y., July 17.—Notwith
: standing that manslaughter in the
first degree was said to have been
agreed upon by the Nassau county
grand jury which investigated the case
of Mrs. Florence Carman, in jail
charged with having shot Mrs. Louise
Bailey, it was reported to-day that the
prosecuting authorities hoped that a
stronger superceding indictment
might be returned later on the basis
of new evidence. This evidence, it was
said, was discovered yesterday about
the time manslaughter charge was de
cided upon.
The present indictment, according
to arrangements, was handed up in
t! e Supreme Court this afternoon.
Friends of Mrs. Carman here and
in Freeport expected that an indict
ment charging her with manslaughter,
in the first degree, would be returned.
Under such an indictment Mrs. Car
man, through her counsel, was ex
pected to ask for release on bail pend
ing trial next Fall.
In the event of her release on bail,
Dr. Carman, it was said to-day, plan
ned to take his wife from Freeport
where she was prominent in social
life, to some obscure for at least
a, mouth.
Dr. Carman to-day said he was pre
pared to furnish bail in any sum up
to $500,000 but it was hardly expected
that more than $15,000 would be de
manded by the district attorney on a
charge of manslaughter.
With the release of Mrs. Carman, It
was said that Eliwood T. Bardes and
Frank J. Farrell, the tramp, too may
be released on bail. They have been
held in jail here as material wit
nesses.
