J., July 23 Mrs. Florence Carmen, wife of the Freeport, L. I., physician, who is ac cused of having shot Mrs. Louise Bai ley to death in her husband's office, and who came here after being re leased on bail, barricaded herself in the house on Riverside farm today and refused to see all callers. 0Dr. Carmen who is with her, also went into retirement and stationed two armed guards and a big mastiff about the house to see that neither he nor Mrs. Carmen was molested. Several neighbors drove to the farm this morning to offer sympathy to the accused woman, but she wo ill see none of them. Thev were stotm-1 at the gate by the guards and tol ! that they could not enter under any circumstances. When the morning train pulled into Raven Rock fully half a hun dred people .alighted. Among them were women who had journeyed from neighboring towns in hope of getting a look at the accused woman and, it possible, taking a snapshot ot her. Most of them carried cameras Dr. Carmen accompanied by his wife, left the farm in the early morn ing tor a long motor ride. Before going, - however, he gave explicit in structions not to allow any one on the grounds. "And no one is going to be allowed on," said Bill Smith, the caretaker He said, "If necessary to use force to keep out all visitors, and force will be used if necessary. I am going to obey orders, even though I hate to appear in hospitable." At this point Mrs. Smith joined her husband and declared her lovalty to Mrs. Carmen. "We have known the ("arniens for years and I have never known a finer woman than Mrs. Carmen," she said "It will not be necessary for me to interfere in this matter, but I'll do it if it is necessary to get Mrs. Carmen AU - .... I. I . uie rest sue so mucn needs., i guess the doctor can take care of his wife. He has done it well up to this time." . A threatened storm brought the Carmens home from their ride earlier than they were expected. They came up the road in their car at full speed. The guards seeing them threw wide the gates and they entered, Mrs. Car men flashing an angry glance at the Crowd that'Stood outside. She alighted from the car and started walking rapidly toward the house, when Mutt, a shepard dog, and a great pet, bounded toward her to give welcome. The angry woman pushed him back with her foot and, Mutt in turn vented his spleen on Mrs. Car men's pet kittens, Snowball, Fluffy and Polly, by chasing them up a tree. Dr. Carmen followed his wife into the house and the two did not appear again during the day. If Mrs. Carmen had chosen a fort ress she could not have been better protected. A low stone wall entirely surrounds the place. Poison ivy grows in profusion over the walls, while snakes of all descriptions, from the harmless blacksnake to copperheads and rattlers, squirm in' and out among the stones. According to Smith, Dr. Carmen was attacked while in a field by a copper head and killed it. -Smith has the skin of the snake he says Dr. Carmen de stroyed. : ' GOLDSBORO, July 23.-The strug gle for the Democratic nomination for Congress in this district was ended yes terday when the Democratic executive Committee nominated George E.
