CARMAN AND LAW LEW Charges acter Defamation of Char and Asks $50,000 From Each. IER New York, July 20. Detective William J. Burns announced that he had instructed his lawyer to brine suit against Dr. Edwin Carman and Attorney George M. Levy, counsel for Mrs. Florence Carman, for $50, 0Q0 each for defamation of charac ter. This action is an aftermath of at tacks made on the detective for the course he has followed in investi gating the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the office of Dr. Carman, at Freeport. Referring to the attack made up on him by Mrs. Carman after she was released from jail, in which the ac cused woman declared she was being "framed up" by detectives, Burns said: "It is to be expected that an at tack of that kind would be made up on me. People who are guilty al ways come across and knock. A dead one never knocked. It is in teresting to watch the antics of Car man and his wife and their attorney going into spasms over what's going to happen to them. They never have given a thought of poor Mrs. Duryeat or the child that was left mother less. Thye have never said anything:, kind about the woman who was slain in cold blood. . No Mystery, Says Burns. , "There is no mystery in the mur der of Mrs. Bailey. The footprinta are absolutely perfect. There is no- doubt that Mrs. Carman fired that shot. . The ridiculous ..display Car . man and his wife made ol them- proves to De tne strongest- Kind ot 'circumstantial evidence. -Why didn't, they immediately send for the au thorities? ." "I have instructed my attorney to bring suit against Carman and Levy for defamation of character becausa of things they said to me and about me. I am asking $50,000 damages from each, and I will give them a chance in court to prove their state ments." x Mrs. Duryea Denounces Jury. In a voice broken by sobs and that grew tense and passionate at times, Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mother of Mrs. Louise Bailey, who was killed in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman on the night of June 30, bitterly denounced' tne Nassau county grarid iury be cause it had returned only a man slaughter indictment against Mrs. Carman. Mrs. Duryea charged that Mrs. Carman concealed the truth and she declared: "I. would have been the first to forgive Florence Carman if she had frankly confessed the guilt wmcn t Deneve is in her heart." "Never was there a murder whnrf the motive was stronger," declared the grieving mother. "Never wa there a murder where every circum stance pointed more clearly toward1 one person. I firmly believe she. killed my daughter, Louise. I cannot see where there is anv law that would let her go free. I do not tnink that Mrs. Carman meant to kill my innocent dauehter. I be lieve she wanted to kill her husband because she thought him faithless If she had come out and said, 'I shot to kill this husband whom I have known to be faithless for years,' the worm would have accepted her as a. wronged woman and I would have been one of the first to forgive her. But in place of that they have be smirched , my innocent daughter: they have blackened her good name; they have broken my heart. I will not rest until I have cleared my daughter's good name. "I am not satisfied with the ver dict ot the grand Jury. How could! be? That woman took my daugh ter's life and now she is trvina- to take her good name away. I can not see how the grand Jurors could have returned an indictment for manslaughter. They must have been influenced by their friendship for the Carman family.
