In I act, he ifl ko sure of 11 the unadultei aied truth, thnt he now awaits the return of his spou.se, and will receive her with open arms wben she conies.
But there is another personality wlio for some six weeks was a part of the Holiday household and for a much longer time a close friend of Mrs. Hol¬ iday, whom the Irate husband never wmts to see attain, not even behind prison bars, although he has announc¬ ed his IntentloD of taking steps thai will put him there. Tbis last niembei of an eternal triangle is Jules W. 15. Vollmer, n contractor, who, according to Holiday has been a competitor with him for his wife's affections.
Tais ymarkable condition ot affaii k is but the aftermath of another decid- <'dly more serious one which came as Mie climax in the marital relations of Iho Roosevelt couple several days be¬ fore the general public learned of il througli the newspapers. There was a driimatic fiimily row at tlie Holiday home la.st Tuesday evening in wlm , Holiday himself was the principal sup- poilod by Vollmer and hjis wife.
The story' as told by Holiday, who i." a contractor himself, is jiathetic. He says he came bome on Tuesday evening satisfied that Vollmer, who had come into his home as a boarder .some six weeks before, was no fit per- so'i for his wife to associate with. It was his Intention to "make the an¬ nouncement to Vollmer In a gentle but flrm w^ay and to tell him to leave tho house—forever. As he walked up (he- street he thought it all out to him¬ self and reached a decision.
He told Vollmer of his intentions and then went out again. VVhen he returned he found his wife and the botrder still together. They had re¬ turned from an automobile ride in the hitter's machine. Then came thc cli¬ max. Holiday told Vollmer to leave— at once. Then he turned to his wife and scolded her in such "a manner to make her .resentful. He had hardly completed his own harangue when both Vollmer and Mrs. Holiday turned lo uim together.
"I was made to feel how small I ^^had become in my wife's eyes," said Holiday. "She told me that all plans had been made to have me adpudged insane and taken to Amltyville. Voll¬ mer supported her In every statement 8h;> made. They said they had con¬ sulted doctors and told me I was a iut' and not flt to associate with reg¬ ular people. I got so angry thnt my blood boiled."
It was at this juncture that Holiday ran from the room, declaring that he would kill his wife's boarder and «nd the "whole thing." He ran down the stairs to the cellar and presently emerged carrying tbe axe with which be bad chopped wood for the furnace during tbe long winter months.
Hut befoie he bot to tbe lirst floor Vollmer had fled—no one knows where. But Holiday rushed into the yaid and to bis surprise he found there the Vollmer automobile. He Flopped a minute to reflect and then set about to Tiack the machine to pieces. He cut down the stancions that hold tbe top ajid then went at tbe body of the car. When It had been reduced to .kindling wood he turned hi) attentions to the engines. With oHt" mighty blow he knocked the ra¬ diator from its place and broke up sev¬ eral of the spark plugs. He would luive done more to the engine itself had it not^en for the fact that hie eye rested on the carburetor.
"That's tbe thing that makes the Muoniing thing go," thought Holiday. "I'll ilx that." So he hacked at it un. til 11 dropped otr.

Former Stale Senator Jams L. ong, who joined with George F. Spinney, a clerk in tbe Court of General Ses¬ sions, in making the charges, tele¬ graphed Senator O'oGrman yesterday that he wanted lime to "arrange for ibc presentation of witnesses" and would appear in Washington "as soon as pos.5Jble."

Mr.s loic'iiie oCnklin (aih.aii. u i lias tieen llie centrxl fuuic in nv.i- ¦>. Ihe mosl mysterious murder iny.^ler- iow of llie decade and who I.s al pres¬ ent released under 120.000 bail on a chai'ge of manslaughter in the hrst degree, returned to her home in Free- port with her husband. Dr. Edwin Carman and their little daughter Eliz¬ abeth, on Sunday evening, from Lam- bertSville, Pa., where she went follow¬ ing the sensational proceedings at the Mineola courthouse less than a fort¬ night ago in search of rest. She is charged wilh having caused the death of Mrs. oulse aBlley, wife of William aBlley, of Hempstead, on the evening of June 30, in the office of her hus¬ band.
Although she looked pale and worn. she denied lo a Nassau Post reporter over the lelephone that she is suffer¬ ing from a nervous breakdown.
"1 am feeling as well as might be expected," was her way of putting it. "My health is somewhat improved and I am still in a nervous condition, but 1 am doing as well as anyone iiii.ijht be expected to do who has been sub¬ jected to the strain that I have."
Mrs. Carman was emphatic in her denial of leports that she was in a, critical condition. Upon her return she sat in conference with her attor¬ neys George M. Levy of Freeport and Surrogate John J. Graham, who will plead her case .before the Supreme court when 11 is called sometime dur¬ ing the latter part of October or pos¬ sibly later. Despite the long and tire¬ some trip trom Pennsylvania in an au¬ tomobile she appeared jubilant and enthusiastic to those of her immedi¬ ate friends who called upon her.
On Monday the Carman house wa.s thronged wilh visitors and the Mer¬ rick road between Grove street and Ocean avenue again became the scene of curious crowds. Automobiles stop¬ ped to gaxe at the house in which Mrs. aBlley met her death by a shot flred through the aperature in a brok¬ en window pane and pedestrians pac¬ ed up and down along the sidewalks.
But Mrs. Carman disregarded it all. She remained In doors through the- day, spending most of her time wilh friends who came to greet her. She answered telephone calls and chatted pleasantly with those who sought in¬ formation.
"I cannot discuss the case," she said frankly, "I have been instructed not to do so by my attorneys, and haxe given my promise. 1 cannot go ba<-k on that."
Although it is not definitely known, the report was general on Monday that .Mis. Carman's return was due to the sudden turn for the worse in the condition of her mother, .Mrs. Platt Conklin, who has been a ner¬ vous wreck since the arrest of .Mrs. Carman. It has been asserted that the physician's wife grew lonesome away from her friends In Pennsylvan¬ ia and became nettled at the boldness of reporters and others who constant¬ ly sought her 'at the farm. So she decided lo come back to Freeport.
Dr. Carinan resumed his practice almost upon his return, relieving Dr. William H. Runcle, who has been act¬ ing for him during the time he was away. The doctor talked with news¬ paper men. He condemned the state- men eminatlng from William Burns, the detective, to the effect that evi¬ dence would be produced to prove ths(t there was a .38 calibre revolver in the Carman home prior to the shooting of Mrs. Bailey.
"There was no such thing," said ihe- doctor, "it is true that a box of .ft calibre cartridges were found in the attic, but there has noi been a revol¬ ver of that size In this hduse for years. I once had sucb a pistol, but It has been gone longer rthran 1 can remember."

Peterson, Once a Trusted In¬ vestigator, a Remarkable Fi¬ gure in Case-—Tells How Stealing Became a Passion That He Could'nt Comhat-- Describes Numerous Burglar- ies---Veritzan Examined in Courl;
Through all the invftsiigaiions ol the Kockville Ceniie auih()ritie.-5 iuto the alleged (.iiiiies ot its pulice force one Jigure stands oui above all the others, lir.si as that of a man wlio planned tne numerous robberies loi which three men have been arrested and secondly becau.se of his remarka¬ ble displai of candor .since he was tak¬ en inlo cui^iody a lillie les.s than a vek ago. This man is the once trust- evl Kulof Peterson, who conducted most of the investigations of robber¬ ies whicb he himself fomiiiilied.
in many respects Peterson is i,n tin- ; u.sual per.'-onality. He admits lie could ; not restrain himself when the desire ' lo steal seized him, yet each night , prior to leaving his wife and little son ' at home he owed that he would make a new effort.
"I wanted to be honesi," he. said lo a Nassau Post rcyfdler, "1 tried lo be .\.s ntght came tSri I would have a pe¬ culiar feeling come over me and to tlirow it-off iiiiiny times I would pray. I But wlien I wtnt ou post, every pow- ' er to.iesist temptation seemed lo ^ leaA e me. 1 would go into a Greek's , slore on Village avenue aud lake can¬ dy and chewing gum while he was looking right at me."
Once in this c:ondition 1 just could not help stealing. Having come to ¦ work with the best intentions in the world I would go right back to the old game wiihout knowing whai I was doing, it seems as though 1 sioh ¦ something every night before the eve. niug was fairly begun. Alter I had ' paid a visit to the candy store .some- [ thing else would come into my mind ' ai.'i 1 would actually start for the pur- I pose of pulling off some other job be- | fore the night was under way. j
"While I was away at Holyoke on my vacation I stole sl\ jiairs of sfoi!;- i in^s in one slore and got away with a lot of other stuff beside. 1 can rt- call one night wlUiin the past several months when I talked with a man in Village avenue. 1 told him that I felt as though something was going to happen—1 cinild feel it in my bones. That wa.s Il.e ni«hl 1 robbed the Gol- de; house."
There is a psychological side to the
I varied story told by the officer which
maKes it sound like a Jesse James
novel. \ He stole from the rich or
veil to do to aid the poor. In a staii-
mint 10 a reporter loday he said that he conhned his stealliii^ mostly to clothing, much of which he «. needy [lerson.s with whom he became acquainted as a policeman. In one in¬ stance he says that he m;.(le u trip icj a house for the purpose of geitini; a skirl for a poor woman whom he tiiei in the street suffering from the cold. He gave her the garment and \\;t.- happy because he had been ahle u. aid her.
It ueveloped afu-r the hearing at th'- \ illage office on Monday where Ver;tznu was examined by the Distric! Attorney, that while Peterson was a his home in Kast Rockawfty showin.i; tlie trustees and v)il;ii.'e <()tiiisel where they could find a tiuaniity ol looi. ilui; he had changed his clothes, i'liis wat done, according to the story, at his own request. He was not searched at the time, although he took off a .-^uit he had woiu during his vacation and changed it for older gaiuienK-

.Mrs. I'eler.son. wile ol llie .>; , was 111 a liighl.v < -(iled state when it "tToruis called on her Sunday aiier¬ noon. She declined lo discuss the I a.'-' in any way. She is a woman oi no; inoic I har. thlity, but hag^'ard ex- |ii. Ssion of her face made her look ohU-r. She said to friends about the neighborhood that on several inatanc- ••s ft lien her husband had come home Willi bundles of stolen goods lie told lii-f Ihat he had been to auction sales aiul had picked up something c'heap. Most ol this material he stored in the •-Miiet from which place it was recov- eiKl hy the authorities. She said also thai a diamond ring and a lavabler had been found in the clothes which he cha'n.iied upon his return from IIol- \(ike.
.M the hearing before the Police Justice Harrison U. Wright on Mon- (Ihv Veritzan entered a plea of not ^•iiiUy through his counsel Timothy (J'Callagh.'in. of Rockville (Jentre. Tnere was ii little session of repartee retween the defendant's iav^yef and the Dlhtrici Attorney who asked the \'illage Counsel Francis G. Hooley to examine the State's witnesses. O'Cal- hmhan questioned the right of Hooley to take part In the proceedings and Aas inlormed that he was HclinK for th.' District Attorney.

Aerkari conlirmed .Mrs. Douglass's story concerning the transfer of the gcods to the home of Veritzan.
Later Mrs. Douglass admitted to re- poiter.s tlial she had been friendly Willi the police officer. She told how he had come to see her at night on virions occasions and said that on one e\eiiiiig about a month ago he hau put his arm about her waist.

to the State, it is undersiood that he will not undertake to go before the Supreme oCurt to ask for a recom-id eration of the evidence before tli< Grand Jury.
