ACCUSED WOMAN
COLLAPSES
Freeport, New York, July 10
—When taken to her cell an the
county jail last night. Mr.
Carman, who is accused of
shooting Mrs. Louise Baily, col
lapsed, and today is a nervous
wreck. Doctors were called
in and she was removed to the
hospital ward. As the result
of her condition all action in
the case is suspended. The
prosecution while it has a good
case is not very sanguine owing
to the fact that practically all
the evidence 'is circumstantial
and inferential. It is known
that Mrs. Carman was very
jealous of her husband and had
had a dictaphone installed
secretly so that she could hear
what went on in his private
consultation room, but actual
evidence of the kind to con
vince the minds of the average
jury is lacking.

BUT DEATH GAME
SUDDENLY
Death came suddenly and all
unexpected by Iris friends to
Charles Hollis last night about
nine o'clock. He was a fish cut
ter in the employ of the Salmon
Packing company and had been
ailing for the past couple of
days or so. Tuesday he acted
as though he was mentally un
ballanced and his friends de
cided that it was best for him
to move out of the cabin he had
occupied next to the cable of
fice so that somebody could
keep track of him, and he was |
moved upstairs over the Cab
inet. His condition did not
improve, however, and arrange
ments were made last evening
■to move him over to the Hos
pital at ten o’clock last night,
but at nine o'clock he breathed
his last. The dead man's rel
atives, a mother and a brother,
reside in Tacoma and have
been notified of his death.
