I told Mr. Levy that I did not know anything. "Mr. Levy came again the next day. Before he came Mrs. Carman told me to tell him I was not down stairs after dinner. She wrote out some state ment and I signed it without reading it. The statement was not true. "The day after the murder Mrs. Carman came into the kitchen and asked me to make a wood fire in the stove which I did. Later she came down stairs with a bundle of letters and burned them up in the fire. That same day she told me to call her father from the barn because she wanted him to get the revolver out of the house. Mr. Conklin, her father, came in and went to her room and then came down stairs again. He had a hammer with him. He returned to the barn. The next day, Wednesday, Mrs. came into the kitchen and asked me to step into the office. I went in and the detectives began to question me." "Did you tell the truth at the coro ners inquest?" the district attorney asked. "I did not," the witness answered. Witness Cross-examined The district attorney then turned the witness over to John J. Graham, Mrs. for cross-exam ination. As Celia testified Mrs. Carman sat well back in her chair and never once took her eyes from the witness. On cross-examination Celia said she never had seen Airs. Carman wear her kimono down stairs before the night of the murder. .She said Mrs. Car man stood in the kitchen for ten or fifteen minutes before she passed out of the back door and that, the crash of glass and the shot occurred imme ; diately afterward. "Did you know who she meant when she said 'I shot him?' " asked Mr. Graham. "No. I did not." Mrs. Carman carried the revolver, the witness said, hidden in the folds of her kimono when she went into the office. Mrs. Carman said nothing Ito anyone, she added. She looked in land went out in about thirty seconds. [Mrs. Carman did not express surprise 'when she discovered she had killed a woman and not UL, man. Celia said she told Mrs. Carman that morning after the murder that "God will forgive anything but murder." "Do you," asked Mr. Graham, "be lieve that God will forgive your per jury?" "I know it is wrong to lie," said the negress, "but 1 did what Mrs. Car man asked me to do." Money Given Witness "You are afraid of going to jail for committing perjury, too, aren't you?'' "Yes, sir;; Mr. Smith (the district at torney; told me I could go to jail for lying." Celia testified that she was being brought from Freeport to Mine ola to go before the grand jury, Dr. Carman told her not to change her tes timony and that he "would take care of her." m Mrs. Carman, she continued, gave her an extra $5 a few days after the murder. "That is for keeping your mouth shut." the witness said Mrs. Carman told her. Celia admitted that she was living in New York City at ttye expense of Nas sau county; also that she had testified falsely In many respects at the coro ner's inquest; but he explained that she had done so to shield Mrs. Carman.

SOME MORE LINKS 1 PHY CHI [Continued From First Page] the plan for filling out uniformly and planting the river front slopes for its dressing relative to the completed wall and steps, is the big job that we hope to push along as rapidly as may be I consistent," said the expert, i "This, to my mind, is very import • ant. 1 expect to return again in the Ivory near future to see how It Is pro i r'resslng." concluded the park archi tect. The expert incidentally explain led the proposed plan for providing a | depressed walk alopg the river bank I from about Hamilton to Muench street. Below and above these points there is enough walking space along the top of the embankment just next to the western curb. Between these two points, however, the park strip Je so narrow that the scheme of dropping the pathway from four to four and a half feet has been suggested by the expert. This may be done without waiting for "fill" material because the necessary Improvement can be made by a system of "cut" and "fill." Reservoir's New Gateway The proposed new formal entrance to Reservoir park at Twenty-first and Market streets—a drawing of which, prepared by Mr. Manning himself and presented in to-day's issue of the Tele graph—will be a beautiful finishing touch to the park. Where Whitehall, Market, Twenty first and the park entrance intersect, a plaza about 180 feet across and with a radius of approximately 90 feet will be constructed. This will be of gravel. In the center will be two email Islets provided for electric standard lights or telephone poles. The boundaries at the plaza will be marged by tall growth of shrubbery. From the upper end of the plaza the long 14 00-foot gravel roadway, graded to a width of 30 feet will curve on a not more than seven per cent, grade, to Intersect with the Oak Knob road Just south east of the Elks' Memorial tnonument.
