Allison Mcfarland Indicted
At Newark, N. J.
Charged with Numbering Wife
With Cyanide Of Potassium.
Mcfarland Asks Friends to Suspend
Judgement for Facts.

Newark, y. J., Oct 25-Allison Nc
Farland, advertising manager Tor a
well-known electrical firm, was indict-
ed by the Essex county grand jury,
today, on a charge OF numbering his
wife by the use of cyanide of potas-
sum-
The accused man was not in court,
but when he heard at the jail that the
indictment had been returned, he
stated that his defence would be that
his wlfes death was accidental or
suicidal, and gave out an explanation
of the case, in part as follows:
I had plenty of motives for divorce,
but none for murder. The harmless
bromide referred to was a solution of
bromide, which L have always under
stood to be a dangerous drug, and not
4 thing 10 take in the dark. This was
the only bromide in the house. So far
as I know it is a liquid almost black
in color and having very penetrat
ing odor and characteristic disagree
able taste l gave some to my wife on
three or possibly four occasions II find
if she liked it, but she complained il
was dope AID she objected to the
taste; and il had no apparent effect on
her.
THE cyanide solution was plainly
labelled with white paper marked with
black ink;
.P0iSON-CYANIDE SOLUTION.
The published stuff about my chang
ing labels is the rankest nonsense. y
examination of the labei
should refute the idea. l do not think
however. that any one in authority
made any such charge, The cyanide
has very nasty taste and
anyone's first instinct on getting any
of Il in their mouth would be to spit
it out and rinse their mouth. It is TO-
tally different from the bromide ana
a blind man would not mistake one
for tie other | would rather let it go
as a mistake and did SO, hoping the
common sense of the authorities would
show them the absurdity.
1T seems, however, that l am com
PEELED to defend the charge and can
do so if necessary. l ask my friends 10
suspend Judgment until they hear 1t
all. The affair is one for extreme sor-
row and regret on my part, but muir
der charge is absurd. have all to

HIS "GAM E LEG"
Conveniently Keeps Yuan Sh kai
from Getting into the Trouble.

Pekin, Oct 25-Yuan Shi Kaf, the hope
of the Manchu dynasty in the dark hour
of attempted revolution, is still temporiz-
ing He continues to communicate with
the government and to outward appear
ances is preparing to espouse the Impe-
rialist cause, but he conveniently refers
to his game leg as preventing the i'm
mediate activity which the government
urges.
Yuan Shi Kafs solicitude for his health
recalls similar concern on the part OF
the central government three years ago
when the then grand chancellor was de
graded and disgraced. At that time the
court physician found that the "strong
man of China" was suffering from a
slight attack of paralysis which inter-
fered with his walking. In his own esti-
nation, seemingly. he had not improved
sufficiently since to permit him to as
sumo at once the recently imposed duty
of restoring the imperial authority in the
southern provinces.
The contention of the government is
that the various revolutionary centers
are acting Independently and that one
Imperialist victory would crush the re-
bellon.
Adviees from tile revolutionary head
quarters at different points show that the
rebels everywhere are taking extreme
precautions against excuses. Apparent
ly their leaders desire a revolution as
nearly bloodIess as possible and are not
anxious to take over sympathizing cities
until they are prepared to administer the
local governments efficiently.

Losses to Foreigners.

most unanimous that the disturbance in
China will be prolonged thus involving
heavy losses to the interested powers. 1t
is felt in influential quarters here that
the best way to safeguard the CONNER
cial interests of the powers will be for
them to come to an understanding with
the Pekin government and the revolution
aries to make a portion of the Yank Tsc
Kiang neutral territory where foreign
trade can be carried on.
A quantity of copper shipped by the

order of the Chinese government and
