slave case TO sentence MacFarlau4.
who will be taken to Atlanta on IS

William Heck, chief deputy OF United
States Marshal Henkei.
While being taken to the Tofnhe
MaeFariand told an EVENING star
reporter that he had been railraaaea
to prison
It was frame-up.'' he said ssas,57
they railroaded me to Jail. Tbev
didn't have anything on ne in Nezs-
ark. and they put something On
me-
Who 40 you means" the reporter
asked.
The Essex county authorities,a
MaeFarlan1 replied.
Well, Prosecutor MOTIF"
No. no. Mott"
Then whom do you means'
"The Essex county dete .tivex.
They wanted to get me, ami they eof
me. That s. all
MacFarland was very downcast.
When MacFarland was asked
whether he had anything to say be-
fore being sentenced, he arose
Yes, I have" he said. "If your
honor will allow me to do so, should
like to make a statement"
Judge Hough seemed surprised.
Go ahead, Mr.. MacFarland," he
said
was only making experiments.
your honor began MacFarland. I
was not trying to make coins. While
| was in Jail I amused myself bv
making experiments with tin fofI.
When l was down in the death house
at Trenton we had some checker men
and the white pieces had become all
plack. l got little tin foil from
tobacco wrappings and things like
that and made them white.
l saw the impression that they n,af5a
and it gave me an idea. l got some
candle grease. We used candles down
there, you know
Took Impression of Gun Buttona.
] I made little wax mould and took
impresses of everything l had. nv
cuff-buttons were the first l used.
/ That gave me the idea that IL 1 could
make impression of one side of =
thing, it would be a great boon to
jewelers..
Il always kept that in mind and
when l was set free in Newark on
the charge of numbering my wife,
took it up Immediately.
Il came to New York and got q
room and commenced TO experiment
along the same lines My first idea
was that coin was the hardest thing
to reproduce. l thought that il I
could reproduce that, could repro
duce anything else. For this reason I
commenced with half dollars.
L wanted to make a perfect in>
| print of the reverse of the half-dollar
If l could do that and take il 70 a
/ jeweler, then / would be able to
/ satisfy them that my plan Of repro
ducing anything would be perfect
I didn't have any money. you
know, but l went and got les copper
disks just about the size OF a half
dollar. got them solely 10 expef3-
ment with. I made my cups. and I
4 found trouble with them. I had 10
make my first several times. ] guess
| l made II a dozen times before
! finally got one that would make =
mould such as l wanted, and | had to
use lot Of the washers. That IS
why l bought them"
Where did you buy that stun -
asked Assistant United States Dise
! trict Attorney Abel smith
i bought it all over town. wher-
ever l could when I was able to pay
for it. I fully believe in my process
/ Ii I were allowed the chance Il would
prove commercially very valuablss
but il seems / am denied that
chance
I'm pronouncing sentence. said
Judge Hough when he saw that Mac
Farland was through, Il need not
dwell on the fact that no counterfeit-
ing or any offense against the sor-
ernment was being contemplated IL
