Thank you for the information. We may add it to the record.

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.

Thanks Wystan. According to the Hartford Courant (Oct. 25, 1914), Justice Charles S. Kelby was the judge in the trial of Mrs. Edwin Carman for the murder of Lulu Bailey. We will add his fuller name to the image description.
