MYSTERIOUS MURDER CASE
TO DEVELOP A SENSATION
Mincrla, N. Y.. July 14. On the night of
June .‘JO last Mrs. William Bailey, wife of a
prominent citizen, was assassinated in (lie
i oi.ice of Dr. LAI win 'Airman, a Freeport L.
, i.. physician. Mr.'. win I’arnian. wife of
'the physician, warrested charged with
the murder. Mrs. Bailey called on the
A c'.or, who says h • did not know her. and
after spending an hour was al^sui to leave
; with a prescription he had given her. A
Ao.d smashed the glass id the window of
.1. ■ oi'.'ce on the ground door, a pistol was
pushed through and Mrs. Bailey was shot
dead.
Tne mother and sister if Mrs. Larman
say that at the time the doctor’s wife was
King iti her bed in a room upstairs, suf
i,»r: * * •' from a headache. They went down
. , tlu-y heard the shot, leaving her
I t!u re.
Carman, it developed later, had been
| jc; i : of her husband. She had seen him
j hi. . arse in his office. Site did not likt
the v. of women tiiere. So she had a
. diet ac ij'b installed fn-m his office to her
; be-in-, t; ami she often listened to his con
vrrsati; !i with woir.en patients. On the
riea.de.i- of Mrs. Bailey’s visit, -he said, she
was not listening.
The diet act ..ph was put in a few weeks
;.£To front :. > aiet in the doctor’s office
to a desk in Mrs. Carman's bedroom.
Shi r ly after the kiding it was torn out and
hi ’den. When dein i\e in the house found
thi -vires !\Tm (.’arm:.a did not hesitate to
i-'li »he whole s; ry of having it placed in
, the house.

I man's movenu nts just before and after Mrs.
Baile}* fell to the floor with a bullet in her
l iar; was unfolded by nine witnesses be
fore the grand jury today. Meanwhii ■
detectives were running down a clue which
it was believed would reveal the identity of
two strange women seen hurrying from the
doctor’.' office a few minutes after the
tragedy. These women, it is believed, may
hie to cc rrt borate the t
r B r es at the inquest and the
ry told the grai 1 ■
C> ieman. a negro maid in the (airman
home.
It was Bardes’ statement that he saw a
v. man dre/.-ed a> Mr-a Carman was dro.-m !
walk away from out.'ide a window in Br.
Carman’s (dice immediately after Bardc*;
heard a crash of gla--- and die rc-.-r, of
a revolver the! was : luponkidle for the ar
; re?t ».f Mr . Carl:.an.
At the inquest Celia (Vle:uan flatly de
nied that she had seen Mrs. Carman the
l: ht « t!e murder fr-mi the time h- r
’ I.:, the ('.inner table tint ii fifteen
minutes after the shot was tired.
Today, according to reliable authority.
: the in lid declared that after she heard the
tinkle < f breaking glass and the report of a
, pisi( 1 -he saw her mis!n»<s hurry into the
kitchen through ihe back door and go up
Thesc witnesses, in the order named, ap
peared before the grand jury: George A.

her d- • direr: William Baiiey. her husband:
Mrs. Mary Kimball, h r e. in. and Archie
i'< and George Gi-her, patients who were
in the German in me on the night of the
murder.
Dr. Carman’s story, it is understood, was
: " •h the same as the 1 tie lie told at the
inquest. He was not asked to sign a
waiver of immunity. The murdered wom
an's family and relatives were called to it’ll
• f her actions on the day of the murder
aii i of how they were informed of her
death.
Colder has changed his story since the
inquest, when he said hr- was sure it was
Mr-. Carman he saw through the hall just
pro.r to the murder, and that he was also
positive lie saw iu-r on the porch and in
her husband’s odd < while Mrs. Bailey’s body
was .-till lying on the floor.
His revised assertion is that he isn’t sure
the woman he saw was Mrs. Carman. The
district attorney said Holder had at first
made an ‘‘honest mistake.”
District Attorney Smith said the jurors
questioned Celia C If man closely. The am
plifications she made were of the utmost
importance, he declared.

ESKIMO GIRLS PROTECTED
One of Captain Henderson’s first ca«es as
judge of uncle Sam’s famous “floating
court” wa-’ to suppress the kidnapping oi
Eskimo gills by whaling cantnin.-. lb1 sent
out orders to all the whaling vessels that
any officer guilty of this offense in the
future would either be compelled to marry
the girl or be sent to prison. Th • order was
generally respected. But Captain Mog, a
whaling skipper of the old school, laughed
defiance at the “floating court" and its
judge. He trumpeted, his defiance to the
four winds of the Arctic, declaring stoutly
that no man could dictate to him in mat- I
ters of morality or personal conduct. Captain j
Henderson picked up the gauntlet thus •
thrown down, and sent word to Captain j
Mog that the very next, tiifie he ran away j
with an E.-kimo girl he would have to !
marry her or repent his contempt of law t
behind iron bars.
When Captain Henderson reached Port j
Clarence next summer he learned that this :
gay Lothario of the sea had stolen the ■
prettiest Eskimo girl in the village and j
sailed away for the whaling grounds east
of Herschel island, in the Arctic ocean.
Captain Henderson exploded with wrath,
and vowed right there that he would settle
the score with Captain Mog before that sea
son ended. There was much work ahead j
of the Thetis just then, and immediate j
pursuit was out of the question. Other j
whaling captains, clearing from Port Clar
ence. met Captain Wog higher up the coast J
and warned him of the squall gathering
upon his quarter. These repeated warnings
from his friends finally had their effect,
and Captain Moe, who, with reckless cour
age. had. beached, his boat a hundred times
on the backs of the mighty bowhead whales,
became frightened for the first time in his
life. lie ran for Point Barrow, the fear
of i ri n lending speed to his keel, took
his Tvkimo captive before a missionary, and
married lo r out of hand. Then he hastened
to -end the marriage certificate, duly signed ,

[lo-itl of C. P. Wood. Ira V. Wood. !i. Ii
Porter. .)/ Ii. Reg r--. Chris Anthnnicson and
II. 10. Riley, the case of insanity which was
last week preferred against Harry 'I'. Mc
Lean was heard. Charles JO. Taylor con
ducted the case for the government.
Harry Wright, Dan Hartnett and Earl
B. Hunt gave testimony relative to the
several small business affairs which they
had had with Mr. McLean since his arrival
in the camp last spring. Wright told how
he had been employed by McLean to put
a tarpaper roof on the Hurley cabin, at
the mil of Richmond street, and had been
told to take it off, and had been requested
by McLean (a few days later) to again
put it on the house, but had refused to do
so. Wright was of the opinion that Harry
was not all right, although the pay he re
ceived for his services was about right.
Mr. Hartnett told the court and jury
of the numerous times he had been em
ployed by Mr. Mel/an to move hi - house
hold effects from one cabin to another, at
short intervals. Dan stated that he finally
told Harry that il would be cheaper and
more convenient, and that there would be
far loss wear and tear to the utensils, if
the goods were allowed to remain on the
wap' n it would expedite matter .
Mr. Hunt testified to his experience with
Harry v/hil" the latter was talking of buy
ing a lioo.-e from him. His impression was
that the accused seemed to have no fixed
purj e for any length of time.
Commodore A1 Lowe, who had known
McLean for ten or twelve years, testified
to the changed condition of the man dur
ing the past few years. The young man
had. be :tu»d, sadly deteriorated in that
•pace of time.
Dr. Auringcr was unable to attend court.
He had made two examinations of the ac
cused and submitted a written statement
of the results of his investigations, which
was introduced, read to the jury anti given
to them to consider.
Af’cr being out about two hours, the
jury at 4:4b notified the court that it was
impossible to agree upon a verdict. Thcre
i. i\ ( minis oner Albrecht discharged the
jury, and also discharged McLean on the
charge of insanity.
