Bailey in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman. Mrs. Carman was calm throughout the proceeding. She appeared in the courtroom, deathly pale, but held her head erect and walked with a firm, measured stride to the bar.

She made no statement and uttered no remark while she was the center of all eyes in the courtroom. She was plainly dressed in white waist and skirt, but her face was barren of a veil. Long before the arraignment the small courtroom, on the second floor of the County Courthouse, was jammed to the doors with men and women from all parts of Long Island. Many of them were neighbors and near friends of the Carmans. Proceedings Brief, to Spare Her Humiliation.

Everything possible was done to spare Mrs. Carman any humiliation and the proceedings were as brief as they could be made. When the Judge ascended the bench at 2:30 o'clock the court crier announced the opening of the court and the clerk read the indictment. "Mrs. Florence Carman, to the bar!" he called, and there was the courtroom as the noted prisoner' came quickly forward.

She was, pale but did not seem to notice eighteen grand jurors who filed into the court immediately after the crier had made his formal announcement. The Clerk of the Court called on the grand jurors to rise. Their appearance seemed to reflect the solemnity of the occasion. They had held the fate of Mrs. Carman in their hands for the past three days and it was made very evident by them.

Justice Van Siclen had risen with the jurors. He addressed them: "Have you any presentments to make?" MRS. 47. DE COLONIAL CARMAN "We have," answered Forman Raymond. will Cheshire.

"We want the Grand Jury adjourned until September 21, unless previously called," he said. Clerk Ransom called to George. Levy, attorney for Mrs. Carman, and said; "We a are ready now, Mr. Levy." Then several attendants went into the private office of Mr.

Ransom and came out with Mrs. Carman. She walked straight from the doorway of the clerk's office to the bar, without looking to the right or to the left, and with her head held high. Mr. Levy waived the reading of the Indictment.

"How do you plead?" asked Justice Van Siclen. "We plead not guilty," answered FALLING SOFTLY N.H Huerta has fallen, but he probably had a nice little pile to fall back on. trial. Mrs. Carman Gives Statement She Made to Grand Jury.

District Attorney Smith said that he thought the proper figure was $20,000. With Mrs. Carman standing straight and silent beside him Mr. Levy replied: "That is entirely agreeable to us. We have the sureties here and will furnish the bail at once." The proceedings in the courtroom did not last ten minutes.

When they were concluded Mrs. Carman turned about and left the courtroom with her as lips erect firmly that compressed of and her figure as a grenadier, had just reached the clerk's office and the doors of the courtroom had hardly closed behind 'her when she collapsed entirely. She wept hysterically, once she was alone, and it was a long time before she could be calmed. While the bail bonds were being signed it was announced that Mrs. Carman would give out a statement detailing her connection with the case within a very sort space of time.

She will be tried in October. District Attorney Smith will ask at an early date to have the case transferred from the Supreme Court to the tursdic tion of the County Court, where the trial properly belongs. County Judge James P. Niemann, who is a Nassau County jurist, will preside over the Still weeping wildly and staggering as she leaned upon the arm of Lawyer Levy on one side and her husband on the other. Mrs.

Carman made her way from the jail to a touring car which was to take her to Freeport. Between her tears she paused long enough to say to the expectant newspapermen who had been promised a statement: "I am too ill to talk. But I am willing to give to you newspapermen the statement which I made to the Grand Jury after they had turned down my first appeal be heard." Copies of that statement signed with Mrs. Carman's name were then handed out. presented to the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon, and it reads as follows: "My lawyer tells me that you have refused my petition to tell my story before you.

I cannot understand this. It seems that you cannot be so cruel as to refuse me permission to go before you and frankly tell you all that I know. I do not want sympathy, I merely want justice. Won't you please (the word please was underscored) be fair and let me make by statement to you?" Mrs. Carman bad to be helped all the way the short distance to the waiting automobile, still holding her handkerchief to "her tear-stained face, she was assisted into a seat in the tonneau.

Then the car started swiftly and was soon lost in a cloud of dust as it whirled away in the direction of Freeport. Mrs. Carmen was on her way home once more after a week spent in jail. LEAPS 3 STORIES Mrs. Ursula Cantore Is Killed by the Jump.

POLICEMAN M'NISH LOSES ON APPEAL Dismissal of Officer Who Refused to Drill in Time Off, Upheld. HAD BEEN REINSTATED. Appellate Division Reversed by Court of Appeals--Doesn't Violate Three-Platoon Law. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, July 17-Patrolman Robert MacNish, the Brooklyn policeman who was dismissed from the force for refusing to do police drill during his time off, and who was reinstated by the Appellate Division, loses his fight to get back by a decision of the Court of Appeals handed down this week.

The Appeals Court reverses the action of the Appellate Division in restoring MacNish and upholds the right of former Police Commissioner Waldo to dismiss him for his disobedience. MacNish flatly refused to appear for drill at 3 p.m. on May 9, 1913, as he was ordered by the lieutenant of his precinct to do. His refusal was put upon the ground that the order was in violation of the "three platoon" law. In his opinion Judge Miller says: "There is no dispute about the facts.

The plaintiff had finished his tour of duty at about midnight, on May 8, and his next tour of duty began at 4 p.m. on May 3. His position is that in the interval between tours of duty he'was not subject to the orders of his superior. We do not SO construe the statute. The purpose of the statute is reasonably plain.

If the Legislature had meant to relieve members of the force of all duty, even of that of obedience to their superiors, except during eight hours out of twenty -four, we think they would have plainly said SO. The statute may be reasonably construed to accomplish the purpose intended without making it utterly subverse of all discipline. "It is stated that the relator was ordered to report for drill in accordance with a custom of the department pursuant to which the men were required to drill for hour, seven times during the year. Certainly, such a requirement was reasonable, and we find nothing in the statute to make it unlawful. Moreover, to disobey the order was not the way to test the meaning of the statute.

"If each policeman were permitted to decide for himself the meaning of the rules of the Department and of the statutes, applicable to the discharge of his duties, there could be no discipline. The statement is made that the order was disobeyed is for the purpose of presenting a test case. The action of the Police Commission tends to show that that was not done with his approval. If it was, the punishment was altogether too severe but with that we have nothing to do." Judge Miller therefore directs that the order of the Appellate division be reversed and the determination of the police commissioner be confirmed. Chiet Judge Bartlett and Judges Werner, Hiscock, Chase and Cardoza concurred, Judge Hogan not voting.

The case of Patrolman MacNish will stand as a precedent, it being the first of its kind to go to the Court of Appeals. The thousands of other policemen in the city employ will be affected by it.

Whitman when the draft was before him on his Tanner is quoted as saying. "After scrutinizing it, I heard Mr. Whitman have a talk with Mr. Duell on the telephone, in the course of which he plainly told Mr. Duell that he would not authorize that statement, and that Mr.

Rumor among pollticians is that Duell is preparing to that T. version of the declare incident is right, and that Mr. Whitman is mistaken in some of his views on the story.

If Duell takes the Roosevelt side of the argument, the District Attorney's friends fear it will work him much harm. They say, however, that Duell "hasn't the goods" to back any such stand. At Duell's office today, the latter's father, Charles H. Duell, spoke follows to newspaper men: "I really as don't knew whether my 19 son going to make a statement today or not. think it is quite likely that he will.

NOT SECONDED BY BENCH. a Governor Thinks Appointment From Up-State Would Be Regarded as Affront to Brooklyn Judiciary. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, July 17-It is unlikely that Governor Glynn will comply with Distriet Attorney Cropsey'8 request for the appointment of an up-state judge to try the Grout charges.

Governor Glynn has invariably refused to discuss any phase of this matter for publication and today reiterated that he did not care to talk about it. It is learned, however, from an authoritative source that so long as no request comes from the Kings County bench for him to designate an upstate judge, there is no probability of such a designation being made. Under existing conditions, it is understood that Governor Glynn feels such a11 up-state appointment might be construed as reflection upon the Kings County judiciary, and 18 inelined to leave the matter to that body for Its consideration and disposition, unless the Kings County judges themselves should ask him designate Judge from elsewhere in State the TWO MINES DYNAMITED Heavy Losses Result From Arkansas Miners' Riot.
