CARMAN 18 VEST WEAK. Xrw Tork Can Always Bo Depended Upon to Product a Murder Mystery Every Summer. Families Sprins " Into Notoriety That War Nam Heard of Before. Freeport Wat Literally Torn TJu by the Roots. New York, July 22. KacU sum mer New Tork may be depended up on to produce iti sensational mur der mystery. . If not in New i'ork proper, then from out one of . tbe cores of towns and villages in th vicinity of the metropolis will come a story of violenoe And death. l"s ually there is a woman. , : The fierce blare of notoriety blazes cVwn upon families that were never heard of before. - If in one of thev villages, the entire routine of the lit tie community is ' broken. Business practically suspended. From out o1' the closets of tbe families' which at- ' tracted nothing but the highest res pect from their neighbors come rat ling the skeletons which have so Ion;.' been shielded from public gaze. Tragedy,' scandal and death is dis- -crssed on every street corner. It W the morning gossip of the housewives in the morning- back door visits. For the first time, probably, in tbe his tory of the qmet village, the Car.v ner and Sheriff are regarded wit'i awe. The sheriff may have lwon the favoritie of every child in the village before the little community was shaken by tbe sudden breaking of home, hut now he is shunned air! feared. : : . '"The sheriff will fret you," the mothers tell their children when they petulantly insist upon another hour of play. - And the big, kindly fnv man walks through the streets' alone. Children no longer, follow nt lii -i heels. He is only human and -may break down and weep as he arrests a ' woman he baa known for years on eharge of murder. But the village i transformed. The real came of tho presence of a sheriff in the communi ty is brought to light. . This Wan who has played with the children, bag joked and laughed in the homes .)'.' bis neighbors, becomes a figure to be feared' and avoided. ' . These scenes might be enacted in any village in the coniitry, or in the world. It is hnmnn to love and to hate. The animal instinct is to kill those who may cross these elemental passions", And when New York swelters in its summer beat, always, rearing up its head from some sup posedly peaceful family or communi ty steps the spectre of the spirit oC elemental man, breaking through the " veneer of civilization and striking- to kill. Such conditions as these have pio ' vailed for weeks in two villages near New York. I Freeport - L. ' I. ,,- Wis thrown into a turmoil by the shoot ing of Mrs. Louise Bailey, wife of a , well-to-do manufacturer,' as she was ' about to leave the office of Dr. Edwin Carman.' Only a short' time before, Stamford, Conn.," awoke to find it self full of scandal when. Waldo R ,: Ballon, 69, known to every man,' man and child in the town was found dead in front of the building in which -Mrs. Helen M. Angle, equally as well : known, had her apartments. Bal lon and Mrs. Angle were known t; have been friends. , Bloody foot- - - prints upon the stairs, ware found . which led - directly ; to .. her door. -1 Blood stained garments and Ballon 't hat' weroi found in the apartment. ' Mrs. Angle was arrested, sue- proT ' tested her innocence, but 1 evidence-) brought out at the coroner's invest i- - gation pointed only to ber, in the he 1 lief of the authorities.. '?-'.-V' At Freeport the circumstances siir- rounding the shooting of Mrs Bailey were even more mysterious than thosjj -' ! of the death of Ballon. - Unknown to her husband or other members of her family, Mrs. Bailey called at the of fice of Dr. Carman. ' The physician , , said ha prescribed some quinine cap snles for her. She was just walking . toward the door, when suddenly tbcre - was a crash.' - The window was brok .. en. The curtains moved and then a hand, grasping a revolver, was thru! ir. The revolver moved up and down for an instant.-r Dr. Carman said he jn raped behind an operating tabK There was a shot and. Mr. - Pailey ' fell. .. . . :v"-'-':..V '' - When Dr. Caroinn - picked Mr. - - Bailey np' eonld nltf . w!npr that she had been shot and then she flicd.i -There were patients ; waiting . . to see the physician in the outer or ' Hce. - One of them came in .and help- d Dr. Carman place Mrs. Bailey's bodv on a eonch. The woman's rel- . ativea living in Homstead , were aoti fled and then came tha long bunt fo: - the murderer. . Outside the window there was absolutely nothing left to trace the murderer by. The author it es were completely baffled. Then : earns the knowledge that Mrs. Car- run had installed a dictograph in her husband's office tliat she might listen to the conversation he had with v.o- i . 1 'U. 1 1 Fen patients, mio aammea ner jealousy and thai she distrusted her 'husband. Sensation after sensation - followed SS tha various theories were I advanced with witnesses to testify 'in their support. Freeport was fairly, torn np. by the mots. Little waa thought or Ulked of in the village but tbe kill ing of Mrs. Bailey. Everyone knew the Carman. The doctor had at tended uitt of tbe families in tlw illage. " ' ' As a climax to the inquest one wit ut as swore that he saw a woman on the lawn near Dr. Carmen's window 4t the same time the shot was fired. His description fit Mrs. Carman She was arrested in her born and Ukeu to jail. Then came doubt as to the truth of the story tuld by this principal witness. The day follow iiiS her arrest it was openly asserted that the ease atrainst Mrs. Carman i-ss weak and that she might be ex pected to lie released. The stirring ii of Freeport was then complete. The caae had worked in a complete circle. Newspapers . had ' screamed with the annual New York mystery murder and wuat town or village nearby may furnish the next sensa tion only next year can tell.
