Miss Bromley Whisked Away.

! Miss Bromley did not appear In the
courtroom, but was In the Sherifr's office
greater part Of the day While there she
gave an interview to the newspaper men,
and while a mob OF about two hundred OF
! the morbidly curious stood about she was
hurried from the building and whisked
| away in an automobile. This was when
: the summing up by counsel had begun.
L All the testimony had been submitted BY
about 8 o'clock. and Assistant Prosecutor
Lehlbach In opening branded MacFariand
as a moral pervert, and reiterated the
| states contention that he deliberately
/ planned the death OF his wife with cyanide
OF potassium so that he would be free TO
marry Miss Bromley
Mr. McDermit took three hours for his
! summing up. He dwelt on the fact that
I MacFarland. II he was the murderer that
| the state maintained he was, could have
DESTROYED the famous Bunny" letters
! written by Miss Bromley. on which the
state obtained the first conviction OF the
defendant. The principal letter from Mrs
! MacFarland was as follows:
