to save the life of Allison MacFar-
land, convicted wife poisoner. who is
now in the death house in State prison,

rors and Appeals here today.
Associated with him in the inal eff
fort to keep MacFarland from the cleo
tric chair is former Judge Chauncy
Fl. Beasley. Prosecutor Mott is repre-
senting the people and will argue that
the conviction be sustained.
The argument was opened by Mr..
McDermit.
Chancellor Walker took his seat as
the residing officer of the court for the
first time Chief Justice Gummere did
not sit, he having presided at MacFar-
lands trial Judges Vroom and White
als) were not in heir seats when the
case began.
Mr.. Mott, in his argument, held that
even if there We're any legal informal
ity in the empaneling of the jury that
would not invalidate the conviction, be-
cause it could not be shown that the
defendants rights were in any way af-
fected.
AS to the admission of the Bunny
letters in evidence. he said their ad-
mission was entirely proper as showing
motive for the crime The letters
were written with MacFarland's knowl-
edge and consent, and even at his so
licitation.
