Twenty Reasons for
New Trial Are
Given.
FIGHT MADE ON
BUNNY LETTERS"
Exceptions Also Taken TO
Judges Charge to
Jury.


Frank McDermit, as counsel for AL
lson M. MacFarland, under sentence
to die in the electric chair for the
murder of his wife, late last night
fled in the office of the secretary OF
state at Trenton, the latter acting as
clerk of the Court of Error and Ap-
peals, the assignments of error in the
trial of MacFarland and on which NC
Dermit relies for a new trial.
The assignments of error number
twenty, and it is these questions that
will be argued by Mr.. McDermit and
Prosecutor Mott before the Court OF
Errors and Appeals on March Is. Nc
Dermit lays great stress on the fact
that the so-called Bunny letters
written by Miss Florence Bromley to
MacFarland, were admitted to evil
dence without being identified except
by a handwriting expert McDernlit
contends that this was not proper
identification and that the girl herself
should have been produced to identity
the letters.
The complete list of errors assigned
by McDermit in asking for a new trial
is as follows:
I. Because the court admitted illegal
evidence for the State over the timely
objections of the defendant.
Ii. Because the court excluded ma
terial evidence offered in behalf of the
defendant.
III Because the jurors were not
qualified jurors at the time the special
panel was served upon counsel for the
defendant.
", Because the special panel served
on the defendant was not service OF
the special panel contemplated by the
statute in that the persons named
therein were not qualified jurors at the
time the special panel was served.
V. Because the court refused to pr
der the State to give the plaintiff IN

and served, a bill of particulars show

volvers. When the. pair left the camp
they were followed for several miles

PARENTS ARE
TOO POOR TO
BURY CHILD
Neighbors TO Raise Fund for
Funeral of Wagon
Victim.

The body of S-year-old Edith Litkey
lying at Holes morgue and three
other children clamoring for their
sister has disclosed the pathetic life
of Mrs. Charles Litkey, of 199 Court
street, who the police say was de-
serted by her husband two years ago,
when he eloped with another woman.
In all her grief the woman hesitated
to speak of her troubles. only calling
for her little daughter who was
crushed to death beneath the heavy
wheels Of wagon while she was play
ing about the street late yesterday
afternoon. One undertaken TO whom
the grief-stricken mother appealed to
bury her child refused. Neighbors will
take up a collection and give Edith a

Thomas Ganeway, the driver Of the
wagon which ran over the little girl,
was rescued from a frenzied mob only
by the timely arrival Of the police. He
endeavored to explain that he was not
to blame for the accident, but the
angry crowd would not be pacified.
Eye-witnesses declare that the little
girl was alone responsible for her fall
ing beneath the front and hind wheels
of the wagon.
Edith asked permission TO play with
children yesterday. but her mother
warned her not to go TO the street.
When Mrs. Litkey went to the kitchen
to resume her washing, which was her
means of earning living for herself
and the children. Edith slipped to the
street. Playing about the house at
first the child ventured to the gutter,
and spying a companion across the
street made haste to reach the other

ing to Mr.. Fighter, was married seven
times. Worthington died in 1897, and
according to the win of his mother, the
