Freeport New York July 9 District Attorney Smith released a statement on the Louise Bailey assassination and Golder testimony. He said Golder previously told the same account at the inquest including seeing a woman in white on the Carman porch and later in Carman's office, and that he was sure he knew Mrs Carman.

Bardes, known in Long Island City, married Miss Sadie Moran in September 1913 and lived in Brooklyn. He claimed ties to Acorn Roofing, which Moran disputed. Moran and Bardes built Pardes Moran Roofing at 41 Broadway but dissolved the partnership last February after a funding dispute. Mrs Bardes collapsed from shock over the Carman case and has been bedbound since yesterday. Moran says Bardes, 41, was estranged from relatives.
