MRS. CARMAN DENOUNCES BURNS AS BULLY AND BRUTE

By The United Press.

NEW YORK, July 18.—Preparing for a complete rest of several weeks at Lumberville, N. J., Mrs. Florence Carman, indicted on a manslaughter charge in connection with the mysterious killing of Mrs. Louise Bailey in her husband's office, today denounced Detective William J. Burns as a "bully and a brute." She declared the tramp who swore he saw her run from the window through which sped the bullet that killed Mrs. Bailey was "one of Burns' creatures."

At liberty on $20,000 bail, Mrs. Carman planned to leave here tonight or tomorrow morning for Philadelphia, with her husband, Dr. Edwin Carman, and her little daughter, Elizabeth. From there the party will go to Atlantic City and thence to Delaware Water Gap. After a few days at the Gap they will retire to the Carman farm, a few miles distant.

"It is unbelievable," said Mrs. Carman, "that the grand jury indicted me on the testimony of a negro woman who has twice changed her stories, and a tramp, who did not appear in the case until Burns came into it.

"Burns was sent to my house by District Attorney Smith as my friend. The first thing he said, as he stuck his jaw out and leered into my face was: 'I have come to get somebody, and that somebody is you.'"

The first work of Attorney Levy for the defense, he announced today, will be an effort to have the indictment dismissed.
