Edwin Carman's wife, Florence Conklin Carman, was accused of murdering a Mrs. Lulu Bailey in Dr. Carman's office, in Freeport, June 1914. She was tried twice: the first trial ended in a hung jury, the second in her acquittal. The shot came through a window from the outside--thus the interest in the windows in this image.
