OF
 MARRIAGE RELEASE
 PAIR OF SUSPECTS

After having been detained at police headquarters this morning and put through a thorough examination. Louis Messino and William Cooper, the former white, the latter a negro, consorts respectively of Mary Poltto and Clara Smith. two negresses, were allowed their freedom. The men were detained flor investigation" and for a time it looked as though the serious us charge of white slaving'' would be put against them, although in this case the alleged white slaves were black.
 The two women, charged with street walking, were arratgned in the city court this morning and the Polito woman was sentenced to spend 20 days in jail and the other to a month in jail.
 Two marriage certificates, apparent from being held to face the serious charge of which they were first sus- pected
 The two men claimed to be the hus- bands of the colored women. The women were picked up last night by Patrolmen Barton and O'Nen and brought to the station house. Later the Ineu. who were known to be com panions of the women, were taken in for investigation.
 All four told conflicting stories of where the alleged marriages took place. but they were provided with certificates. all written Tn the same hand and apparently of home As the police had not sufficient evidence to hold them, they were obliged to let the two men go.
 The au uthorities suspect that the two women are members of an "alley gang by which several men have been victfmized lately. This charge was likewise dropped for lack of evil dence and the women were sent up" for street walking.

Mcfarland Found Guilty Of First
 Degree Murder
(speeial from United Pres.

Especial from United Press.
 Newark, Feb. That the charge of Chief Justice GDmmere and the 5S letters which had passed between the accused and Florence Bromley, of Philadelphia. rather than the testi- mony of the states witnesses, was re- sponsible for the finding of Allison Mcfarland, guilty of first degree murder was considered certain here. such character that the court refused to make them public. Mcfarland was composed as he sat in his cell, today, although neither he nor his counsel, Frank McDermott entertain ed any material hope that the appeal which is to be taken will save Mac Farland's life. The states case was entirely circumstantial, but the fact take the stand to explain why he placed the bottle containing the cya- hide where his wife might get 1t, weighed heavily against him In the minds of the jury. While MacFar- lands trial was not a record for speed. so far as New Jersey is concerned and 40 minutes of court time elapsed from the calling of the case until the tury'S verdict was recorded and half of that time was utilized by the jury debating it's verdict, was in direct contrast to the usual diIatory tactics that mark murder trials generally.
 Mcfarland was the coolest man in the courtroom when the jury filed in with it's verdict, shortly before mid night He sat bolt upright in his chair-the bailiff sforgetting to tell him to stand-and listened without tremor to the words that were to send him to the electric chair. His aged uncle alongside sobbed audibly while Judge Gummere sat as though dazed but Mcfarland simply waited. Fin ally, he was ordered remanded to the county jail and he got up, extended his hands for the manacles and walk ed firmly out in the custody of the officers, his only utterance being a brief word of thanks to his lawyer for what he had done.
