KEPT RECORD
OF OICTttPH
Manager of Company Tells of
Installation of Device in
Home of Doctor Carman.
Freeport, N. Y.—Gaston Boissonauit,
manager of the detective division of
of a company which manufactures tele
phone devices to record conversations,
testified today at the inquest into the
death of Mrs. Louise Bailey. Mrs.
Bailey was mysteriously shot a week
ago Tuesday night while in the office
of Dr. Edwin Carman, of Freeport.
Boissonault's company installed a
telephone device in Dr. Carman's of
fice some time before the murder at
the order of Mrs. Carman. The wit
ness told of the first call of Mrs. Car
man at his office. She first said she
was a dressmaker, then admitted her
identity, adding that she had many
domestic troubles and wanted to hear
what went on in her husbad’s office.
This was on May 19. The witness said
arrangements for the rental of the in
strument were made that day.
Planned Husband’s Absence.
On the same day Mrs. Carman made
plans to take her husband away for
two days while the Instrument was
being installed.
The witness said Mrs. Carman had
I told him about seeing a nurse kiss
Dr. Carman and that she knew her
husband met many women in his home
and outside. She asked the witness
whether he could furnish detectives
to follow him.
She was "Satisfied.”
Mrs. Carman and her mother called
upon him next on May 26, said the
witness. Mrs. Carman told him she
was "satisfied" and that she had been
keeping in a diary a record of every
thing she had heard over the instru
ment. He said she had some difficul
ty in hearing all thta went on in the
doctor's office because the doctor and
his women patients sometimes whis
pered.
Elizabeth Carman, 12 years old,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Carman, tes
tified that directly after the shot was
fired she ran upstairs and saw her
mother, her auijt and her grandmother
there. Her mother she said was in a
kimono.
Didn’t Want Notoriety.
Ellswood Bardcs, an Insurance agent,
testified that he was passing the Car
man home Tuesday evning when he
heard a shot and saw a woman, dress
ed In a dark skirt and light waist and
bareheaded, hurrying from the side of
the doctor's office toward the back
yard. Previous witnesses have testi
fied that Mrs. Carman wore a blue
skirt and a white waist on the night
of the murder, although she has in
sisted that she wag in her bedroom
wearing a kimono.
Bardes said he had failed to come
•forward with his story before because
he did not want notoriety. He said
he had no Idea who the woman he saw
v as.

BAR EUGENIC
MARRIAGE BILL
Measure Defeated By Viva
Voce Vote After Lively De
bate in Georgia Senate.
Atlanta. —The first lively discussion
of the session was precipitated in the
senate Tuesday when the Hixon eu
genic marriage bill came up for final
consideration. The hill was lost by a
viva voce vote after three amendments
also had been rejected.
Last year Senator nixon introduced
the measure by request of Dr. B. 1..
Embrey, of Villa Rica. It went to its
third reading at that session, but in
stead of being acted on it was return
ed to the committee. And this year it
could not be fourjd.
The Substitute.
Senator Hixon thereupon introduc
ed a substitute containing the provis
ions of the original with one or two
added. The committee on hygiene and
sanitation reported on it favorably,
and the measure was up for passage
Tuesday.
Had it been enacted into law, it
would have prohibited the marriage
in Georgia without physical and men
tal examination of the contracting
parties, evidenced liy a physician's
certificate that they were sound in
body and mind, in addition, each par
ty would have been required to answer
several very important questions, re
garding past life, occupation and age;
and, if divorced from a former mar
riage, why.
Penalties Imposed.
The bill would have imposed penal
ties on a physician making a false cer
tificate; on a father reporting falsely
to a physician concerning his daugh
ter, and on an ordinary issuing a li
cense without previous requirements
having been met.
Senator Tyson's amendment, strik
ing all eugenic features and leaving
herely the questions to be answered,
was rejected; then that of Senator
McGregor requiring unsuitable appli
cants to submit themselves to vasec
tomy; and lastl that of Senator Huie,
regarding the form of seal on the li
cense.

NICHOLAS CHARGED WITH
VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
Andrew Lewis Will Be Buried From His Home This After
noon—Nicholas Released on Bond.
Before proceeding to further details
regarding the death of Andrew Lewis
yesterday at I/ombard’s Iron Works,
It Is necessary to correct two glaring
mistakes, wrlch appeared in yester
day’s hurried report. Klrst, it was
inadvertently stated that the "ma
chinists’’ were responsible for the
hazing. The machinists, of course,
had nothing to do with It, it was the
Machine Whop Apprentices. Every
apology Is offered these gentlemen,
all men of important position anil
mature age, lor Implicating them In
what was only a boys’ escapade. The
word Machinist wus ignorantly used
to refer to the boys as well.
The second mistake wan a printer’s
error, which substituted "three-fif
teenths" fop three-flTtleths” when
speaking of the strychnine. Dr. Sally
Injected 3-50 of a grain of strychnine
Into the dying boy s arm. In two punc
tures, not 3-15, which is 1-5 and

Nicholas Is well liked In the shops

Jorn B. Vanpeit, foreman of the
