FREEPORT MURDER
Freeport, L. I., July 8. With al
most incredible stories coming from
different sources, Detective William
J. Burns declares the mystery of the
murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, shot
down in Dr. Edward Carman's office,
is a comparatively simple case.
One story is that of a gunman who
claims he and another gunman were
hired by a mysterious woman to kill
the doctor and were to receive $50
each for the murder. That they went
to the Carman home, were met by the
woman, who accompanied them to
the window outside the doctor's of
fice. She snatched the gun from one
of the men and fired the shot herself,
after which she disappeared.
Another story told by J. Howe,
Philadelphia, is to the effect that in
the summer of 1913 a woman whose
name is not disclosed declared "that
man, Dr. Edward Carman, ruined my
husband and myself. He ruined our
lives and I will be revenged on him.
I will murder that man if it takes a
lifetime."
Howe -sajd his only method in ad
mitting the incident is to prevent any
suspicion attaching to Mrs. Carman,
who he believes is innocent.
It was learned that Carman order
ed Burns from his house when the
detective was questioning the physi-
cian and Mrs. Carman, complaining
of the detective's "bull-dozing"
methods.
