genealogytrails.com/ny/queens/news_crime.html Summarizes the upcoming case on Oct 16,1914. From Chicago Day Book.

NYT of Jan 25, 1929 [subscription probably required] select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60F12F93C5A167A... indicates that there were two trials of Florence Carman for the murder of Lulu Bailey, and that the jurors disagreed at the first and she was acquitted at the second. NYT of April 4, 1915 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30C15FA395B17738... announces that the second trial would begin soon. So these are presumably the jurors who disagreed.

swanq: Thanks for the information on the two Carman trials. We will include some of the details in the image description when we update.

A group portrait of the Carman Jury (first trial):

Celia Coleman was the maid who testified that she heard her employer Mrs. Edwin Carman confess to killing Lulu Bailey. Miss Coleman's intellectual capacity and memory were questioned on the stand--she was not able to add numbers or say how old she was, which was taken as reason to doubt her reliability as a witness on other matters.

The Carman murder scene, and other photos connected with the Carman murder drama:

This building is now known as the Old Nassau County Courthouse: "The County Seat found its home in Mineola on July 13, 1900, as Governor Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the Nassau County Court House. A celebration was held to commemorate this momentous occasion on the barren 5-acre (20,000 m2) site at the corner of Old Country Road and Franklin Avenue. Many dignitaries were present to witness this history-making event such as Frederick Hicks, Congressman Townsend Scudder, Colonel William Youngs and Supervisors William Jones and Edwin Willits." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineola,_New_York A photo of the building from 2010: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Old_Nassau_Co...
