TELI5 EXPERIENCLS IN CARMANS' HOME

Secured Her Position
TELU OF SCENE ON MURDER NIGHT
Justice Norton Dismissed Proceed
ings at Freeport—Weeks Deniei-
Rcport of Readdressed Letters
While Dr. Edwin aCnnan, his wife, Mra. Florence Conklin Carman,, wbo was rcleaaed a few days ago under 920,000 ball on a cbarge of manslaugh¬ ter In Uie first degree, and tbler nine- year-old daughter, Elizabeth, are en¬ joying a li<^e of quietude al their farm at Lumberville, Ta., under the protec Uon of armed guards aud fierce dogs, new developments in the famouo mur¬ der case are bobbiag up almoot dally. It became known late last night thit Celia Coleman, the colored maid in the Carman household at Freeport, had written a letter to a Mrs. Jennie How¬ ard, of Washington avenue, Roclcville Centre, In whicfi she reviewed her experiences while in the Carman's em¬ ploy.
The letter from Celia came to light on the evening of the day that Jusiice of the Peace Corodon Norton, who was the acting coroner In the Inquest inlo the cause of Mrs. Louise aUiley's death, dismlBsed the proceedings be¬ fore him because of the subsequent action of the Grand Jury and (ne m- dlctment of Mrs. Carman. Justice Norton went through the formal mo¬ tions of dismissing the woman befc-f a single officer in thc Freeport Court¬ house, where the sensational inquest was held. He called the case of the people against Mrs. Florence Carmaj, and when she did not appear merely closed up his papers and signed the dismissal In legal form.
The letter which Celia wrote to Mrs. Howard was a rudely scrawled affair In lead pencil and scarcely read¬ able. It was sent from an address in Manhattan which Is Indefinitely given as Thirty-eighth street near SevenUi avenue. In its tone it was friendly. One paragraph is devoted to a d<'fens€^ of her position against the talk of a man whose name she mentions as Percy Smith.
"I couldn't do as they wanted nie to," said the letter in part, "In the south when coons don't do as they are told they gets lynched. 1 certainly didn't want to be lynched and so I'm glad that I'm away from Freeport." Referring to the night of June 30, when Mrs. Bailey was shot down In the ofllce of Dr. Carman, Celia says in her letter: "Mrs. Carman caine in through the back door and folded her arms. She stood In front of me for a minute and said: 'Cella, for God's ¦ake go up stairs and-stay up there.' I never saw her so excited In my life as Bhe was then. When she went up th doctor came into the kitchen and said. 'See that yqu don't come down stairs unUl I caU you.'"
Cella told In a vague way that sbH had been taken lo New York from RockviUe Centre by a colored man whom ahe thought was her friend. Sbe says she later found him to be a de- tecUve. While she was In the city, however, she states that she was ask¬ ed no questions about the case and did not talk about It until she came 1>ack to the IMneola Courthouse and appeared before the Grand Jury. The letter, If authenUc, establishes Cella's ¦whereabouts on the days that she was believed to have been secreted.
AMlstant District Attoraey 0«orge Weeks denied yesterday that be had any knowledge of an Inrestlgation *o locate the address in Manhattan io which. It was asserted, letter address¬ ed to a prlndptsl in the case at Free- port had been' resent. So far as Mr. Weeks is concerned, he said tbere was no truth In the report,'but he did not deny alnolutely that the District At¬ torney did make inquiries of the pos¬ tal autboriUes In new York.
Mr. Weekb received a letter from District Attorney Smith postmarked Pongbkeepsle in which tbe Nassau County prosecutor says that he and Sheriff PetUt would remain there for al least seven or eight days longer.
FREEPORT'S EVOLUTION
TOLD IN PICTURES
(ConUnued from page 1.) around for land. But be did not fret about woods. He dug out ttae trees and pii.sbed on. He found flve or six houses about, all of tbem old timers. Kandall put up as many more in a month or two and kept on building until he had personally supervised the construction of more than 600.
"Thfn Freeport looked like the vil¬ lage of promise I had always believed it to be," aaid Mr. Randall recently. "It was* a satisfying Bight to gaze up ou. Tlie future was bound to take care of itself."
During the past few years the sen¬ ior Raudall has been al the head of a flrm in which his immediate family are interested. Tbe executive branch of the business has been handled by Kme.'^l S. Randall al present a men- ber of the Board of Trustees, while in the field of operation John J. Ran¬ dal, Jr., and Frank Willets have pro¬ ceeded under the guidance of the sen¬ ior Randall.
The population of Freeport is at present about 7,500 and the village is in no way behind in ils march of pro¬ gress. The street.? are lighted by elec¬ tricity rnanufacturud at a municipal plant, waif r is supplied from a village reservoir, there are two trolley lines (one of them uome owned) passing through the village and no improve- iiienl ttaat ia knowu elsewhere Ln a place of it size or character Is miss- lug. The Long Island Railroad main¬ tains a train aervice that is unsur¬ passed in any place along ils lines and carries perhaps the largest group of commuters back and forth from the city each day al rates that are equitable.
The village's complexion is progres¬ sive in every way. The atmosphere of the place from tlie social stand¬ point is progressive and delightful. Business fiourisbed in probably 300 emporiums, the real estate men are busy with the storekeepers, the banks (there are two) are prosperous..
There is everything in Freepori to make It a little city in Itself. There are flve schools, churches picturesque residences, libraries, clubs and hotels. The Now York Telephone Company maintains its commercial office here and supplies service to more than 2,000 homes, and the Western Union Telegraph Company has quipped a telegraph office in the railroad station for the convenience of patrons.
The streets of the village are paved for the most part, Ihe^a is an effi¬ cient volunteer firemen's organization maintained by the village beside a po¬
lice force and otber xnnnicipal ad¬ juncts. The water front area has aa one of its attractions aside from boat¬ ing and flshlng a bathing pavilion am¬ ple in erery respecC
And tbis Is a picture in words of Randall's Freeport—planned orlginal- |v by blm wtaen be claimed it as a dis¬ coverer.
HOLD POLICEMEN ON
BURGLARY CHARGES
C'ontinueU from page 1) Jobn W. Cross each lent a suggestion. It was decided to search tbe horae of Veritzan and Frank Wicks, who ap¬ peared to be the principals with Peter¬ son. A vigilance committee, wbich has been assisting tbe police in the protection of property and homes in tbe north and northwest sections went with Wallace to search Veritzan's house. It was surrounded while they I wero infcide. The trunk and ba^s I f!»A-'' lound in the garret and boxes i;f loot were recovered from the cellar. Tben the authorities went away tak Ing the "stufT' with them.
In the mean time Trustee Carty had gone to Valley Stream where he ques¬ tioned and brought back iCdgar Miller. Frank Wykert was found In Rockville Centre. Both are boys. They kn'iw of the transfer of the "loot" from tin- Douglass home to that of Veritzan One of tbem had received |2 for cart¬ ing the trunks and baggage.
On the sec-ond trip to the house Mrs. Veritzan, tho officers wife, broke down and lold where another trunk 'had been stored in a chicken coop. Thai was brought to headquarters where the Trustees sat to await tbe return of the men. Neither were found on their beats earlier in the morning, but al 4 o'clock both came in.
They were placed under arrest for burglary and held in de'ault of f3,500 ball for examination on Friday. Offi¬ cer John Klrcher and Detective Sea man took them lo the County Jail :it Mineola.
It was learned subsequently that the robbery was "pulled" by Peterson while the others watched from the corners of Observer street and Village and Centre avenues. According to a statement made by Mrs. Douglass, Pe¬ terson was planning to go to Florida and had asked her to accompany him. She admitted that he had given hor the dress and coat, telling her to say,
if QOestloned. tbat sbe had purchased I tbem from a peddler. i
The arrest of tbe police is tbe most startling chapter in the village's his¬ tory of crime, and the work of the trustees is generally commended by tbe people. i
Water Sports Season at Freeport j The season of trater sports at Free- port will be forbially opened on Sun-' day afternoon at Kegel's bathing pa¬ vilion al the foot 'of Grove street. There will be six contests four of them for men, one for the woman and an¬ other for tbe boys.

As a selling medium the telephone ranks first In economy—
because the cost is far below the expense in¬ curred in personal travel;
In efficiency—
because it is a producer of results in greater quantity than can be obtained in any other way;
In despatch—
because the smallest possible space of time is consumed in carrying your voice direct to those who buy.
Does the telephone rank first in jr^ur selling organization ?
