But Mcfarland Testified Against
His Wife

Accused Saloon Keeper.

thirty-five years old, Of 500 East sixtieth
street, was a prisoner In Yorkvilie

consciousness last night. There were
what she claimed were marks OF his
fingers visible on her throat, but Justice

mans husband. Frank Mcfarland, tes-
titled against her.

husband in idleness for a year. Yester-
day he secured some Of her earned

not the first time that this had &C.

Shine then caught her forcibly BY the
throat, In the presence OF her husband,
and choked her almost into insensibility.
Shine denied laying a hand on the
woman, and was corroborated In this

the strength of this evidence, but before
doing. SO he gave the saloon-keeper q
Mrs. Mcfarland to go to Supt. Blake,
Of the Commissioners Of Charities And
