With more ? than ordinary Interest the publlo la f . awaiting the opening of the trial, next -4 r Monday, of Allison MacFarland. charresl t' with havlnr eauaed the death of his , ( wife by poisoning her with cyanide of ' P' potaalum. The preparations or prose J cutlOn and defense are praotlcally com f pleted and no undue delay of the trial J, Is anticipated. Prosecutor Wilbur A. I Mott will represent the state, while . ! James R. McDermlt and his brother, J Prank M. McDermlt, will defend the ' i accused. I The case presents many unusual and ; I1 Interesting features which. In a meas ure, recall some of the features of the Kicneson case in t-amDnage. Mass. in : both cases the Tlctlm died of poisoning by cyanide of potacalum and la both j cases the poison was taken, while the . person accused of having committed the murder was absent When -Mrs. Mao I Farland, for whose murder Allison Mac i, Farland Is to be, tried next Monday, I was poisoned, theiaccusd husband was not at his home In this city, but In New i York, accompanied by his (-year-old son. , Lived Happily for Tears. Allison MacFarland was born In i Thomaston. Maine, about S3 years ago. , He was the only sod of Mr. and Mr a. ; John MacFarland of that city and re ' celved ' bla arly education In the Thomaston grammar and high schools. After two years in the high school, Al i llson MacFarland went to Rockland, Maine, where he attended a commercial school. It was -there that he met Eve lyn, the onry daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Crockett, of Rockland. Alli son frequently called at the girl's , home and after a courtship of two years they became engaged. They were mar ; rled at Rockland on October S, 1900, . and, for a few years, aeemed to live happily together. MacFarland was not t a steady worker. .After one year In ' Rockland they went to Qulncy, Mass., ' tfaen to New York, then to Chicago, then to Michigan and finally to Philadelphia. Allison MacFarland Is a man of con siderable inventive ability and while In Philadelphia, Invented an automo bile tire. Several capitalists became Interested In the invention and fur nished a capital Of 110,000 to put the i tire on the market Offices were opened and Miss Florence Bromley was engaged as stenographer. Bhe wi handsome and attractive blonde with a somewhat romantic past feid Alllaon MacFarland soon became Infatuated with her. , Thta ws about three years ago. Wife Letni of Typo. Mrs. MacFarland soon learned of the relations between her huaband and the pretty stenographer and,- a short time before the birth of her second child. she returned to her parents In Rock land, where she remained nearly two years. In the meantime the company for manufacturing; the rubber tires had failed and MacFarlant went to New ark, where he obtained a position with tha Crocker-wheeler company, manu facturers of electrical appliances. Not until last July did MacF&nanfl make any effort to Induce his wife to return to htm. At his request she came to Newark with her daughter and hor rirst born son and her parents believed that a perfect reoonolllatlon had taken place betwen her and her husband. It seems, however, that MacFarland con tinued his relations with tha pretty stenographer and made frequent trips to that, city to visit Miss Bromley se cretly. How well they kept under cover may be Inferred from the fact that for several years the parents of Miss Bromley were entirely Ignorant of the fact that she carried on a love affair with a married man right before their eyes and entertained Intimate relations with 'MacFarland, whom she met when- over he came to Philadelphia. Walked Blooks for Doctor. On Tuesday, October 17 last, Mac Farland went to New Tork with hla little son to' take the boy to the theatre. They remained In New York over night and did . not return to Newark until Wednesday morning. When MacFar land arrived at hla home he found his wife, dressed In her nightgown, dead on the bed. Instead of summoning Pr. Crowley, Ms next door neighbor, Mac Farland, who did not seem in the leaat excited, walked several blocks and called Dr. William V. Gale. The Ut ter hurried to MacFarland's house and after a brief examination came to the conclusion tiat Mrs. MacFarland had died from cyanide of potassium poison ing. MacFarland admitted that ho had a bottle with cyanide In the bouse and produced the bottle. The latter, whloh had. been used for bromide which Mrs, MacFarland had been in me naon ,.vin. n. haarianhaa.
