The term is to be particularly inn
portant. Besides the two sensational
murder cases, the grand jury. which
will be charged tomorrow, will probe
the Motordrome horror.
Both the MacFarland and Ciccone
cases involved poisoning and the
eternal triangle.
Mrs. Evelyn MacFarland was found
dead in her room by her husband
upon his return from New York on
October IS. County Physician Nc
Kenzie found that she had been
killed by cyanide of potassium.
This deadly poison MacFarland had
taken from the Photographic dark
room of the Crocker- Wheeler plant
in Ampere He was advertising man
ager for that firm.
When questioned. he said he had
obtained the cyanide for cleaning Jew
elry. Letters were found, however,
written by Florence Bromley, of Phil
adelphia, and signed Bunny" that,
according to the prosecutor, showed a
motive for murder. MacFarland was
tried before the chief justice, convict
ed, and, upon appeal to the Court OF
Errors and Appeals. granted a re-
trial.
Ciccone Case Peculiar.
In the other case, Mrs. Ciccone has
provided the authorities an equally
peculiar puzzle.
Her husband, Leonardo, died at
his home, 80 Cutler street, after a
mysterious illness that was finally
decided to have been due to arsenic
poisoning Both Mrs. Ciccone and
Antonio Fiori, a brother-inlaw of
the dead man, were arrested. The
first was indicted for murder, the
second for aiding and abetting.
