peals Upholds Utility
Commission Ruling.
DECISION WILL BENEFIT
, MANY NEWARK CITIZENS
Crusade of Evening Star Bears
Fruit in Sweeping
A Victory.

A sweeping victory for the citizens
OF Newark was won today when the
Court of Trrors and Appeals handed
down decision in the retransfer
case, the fight for which was waged
by the Evening Star and Board of
Works Commissioner William Nun
gle.
The victory was complete in every
detail, the court upholding in all par
ticulars the ruling handed down by
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners requiring the Public Service
Railway Company to grant transfers
on any trolley line in Newark con-
Meeting with the line which gave-the
first transfer.
This will make it possible for
citien TO reach his place of business
or his home for one fare. even If in
so doing he has to use two or more
lines, as long as the ride is meant to
reach certain destination.
This is the most important victory
that has been gained by the people
In the trolley transfer war. 1t means
that thousands of workers who had
to pay two fares will now have TO
pay only one.
When the Public Utilities Con1mis-
sion ordered the company 20 give re-
transfers which would entitle anyone
to continuous ride by connecting
lines from one point in the city TO
another, the Public Service. refused TO
obey
The Evening Star in contendjng that
retransfers were a necessity pointed
out that they would save time and
money in surprising number of
cases.
The decision sApas-sssif. unanimous
afirmance of the Supreme Court de-
cision that upheld the commissions
order The case was brought before
the commission by William Mungle,
member of the Board of Public Works
of Newark
Frank Fl. Sommer. attorney for the
commission, asserted that the extent
of the victory could not be told until
the opinion of the Court of Errors
and Appeals had been diagnosed.
Whether it means transfer on
transfer | cannot say" said he.
"It is a victory, however, and
means at least the restoration of the
former system of transferring made
by the Public Service Company"

Errors and Appeals today announced
that 1t had reversed the case of AL
lison M. MacFarland, of Newark, who
was convicted before Chief Justice
Gummere of poisoning his wife.
Justice Garrison will file an opinion
The vote of the judges was for an
affirmance and for reversal.
MacFarland win be given a new
trial.
The syllabus of the opinion in the
MacFarland case is as follows: A
husband was convicted of the murder
of his wife by administration of
poison. The evidence was circum-
stantial The State introduced
series of letters found in the posses
sion of the defendant. in which the
writer, an unmarried woman ex-
pressed the most passionate love for
him and a confident reliance upon
his promise to marry her as soon rs
he got rid of his wife by divosce.
Held, that the letters were properly
admitted to show motive for the
crime and to repel the presumption
dT1SlDR lTOlll IIt maui liiipiidi
ton, but that It was error to permit
their use as evidence that the de-
fendant had in fact said that he
would get rid of his wife by a di-
vorce.
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott and
Frank NJ. McDermit were together
at the prosecutors office when a re-
porter for the Evening Star Informed
them that new trial had been
granted mcfarland. Mr.. McDermit
smiled. while the prosecutor did not
seem to be surprised at the news.
When asked If he had anything to
saw he replied mo- and walked
away. Earlier in the day he had said
emphatically that in case of re-
versal of the decision MacFarland
would again be brought to trial as
soon as possible. which will mean
next fall at the earliest
McDernit said: "The decision does
not surprise me in the least. l have
expected a new trial would be grant
ed ever since the conviction, and have
no fear for the outcome of the sec
ond trial"
Former Judge Chauncey H. Beasley
who assisted McDermit in the argu-
ments before the Court of Errors and
Appeals, expressed similar opinions
