NO DATE SET FOR
TAKING PRISONER
TO DEATH ROOM
tcontInued from Fir.t Page,

markable instance of the speed of
Jersey Justice" as one day less than
five months would have elapsed from
the time the body of his dead wife,
Evelyn, was found in her home at 1863
Park avenue, on October IS last. until
the State had taken its toll from the
man accused of killing her.
In striking contrast is the case of
Rev. C. v. T. Richeson, the Boston
slayer of young Avis Linnell. The
cases have been so similar in many
respects throughout that the COMPARE
son is interesting. Avis Linnell, as
did Mrs. MacFarland, came to her
death by cyanide of potassium poison
ing. Mrs. MacFarland drank the
solution. Avis Linnell was given 1t to
take in capsule form by Rev. Richeson.
Avis Linnell died October IA, Mrs.
MacFarland October IS. In both cases
the parties since found guilty were not
suspected at first. the cases being
called suicide. Both Richeson and
MacFarland were arrested on Novem-
Der 20. Both pleaded not gilty on the
same day and were both remanded for
trial on December 4.
Later that date was changed to
January s for mcfarland and Janu-
airy Is for Richeson. Before that date
Richeson had attempted suicide in his
cell by em%asculating himself, and later
confessed to his guilt and was sem
fenced to die in the electric chair on
June "a.
MacFarland, always protesting his in
nocence, went to trial on January 20
and on January 81 was found guilty Of
murder in the first degree. Yesterday
he was sentenced to die during the
week of March II.
If that sentence is carried out with
out a stay intervening, mcfarland. ar
rested the same day as Richeson, and
who stood trial and was convicted, will
have been dead three months and a
week before Richecon, the self-con-
fessed slayer of Avis Linnell.
mcfarland slept like a child last
night. according to reports from the
county Jail. He still refuses to dis
cuss his situation with any of the
other prisoners. According to the Jail
keepers he is a mar of wonderful nerve
and seems to take pride in showing
that even if he is under sentence of
death, and with apparently a slight
chance of escaping the electric chair,
he does not finch or evince the Slight
est sign of fear.

MAYOR PUTS BAN
ON APPROPRIATION
Disapproyesl Request for $247,-
900 for Opening of Small
Street.

The resolution passed by the Board
of Works last week to ask the Com
mon Council to appropriate $247, 900 for
the opening of Ward street, from Mar
ket to Cherry streets, vas disapproyed
by the mayor today. He gives his
reasons in the following communication
sent to the Board of Works in session
this afternoon:
February s. 1912.
ITO the Honorable the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners. New
ark, N. J.: a
Dear Sirs-I return herewith, with
out my approval, a resolution adopted
by your honorable body on February
| last requesting the Common Council
to provide $247 900, or SO much thereof
as may be necessary, for the purpose
of opening Ward street from Market
to Cherry. Under an act adopted ut
the last session the Legislature au-
thorized the expenditure of a maxi
mum amount of 81, 000,0 900 for the pur-
pose of making such improvements as
are contemplated In this resolution.
Already a considerable amount of this
sum has been expended or pledged for
changes in the streets. This relatively
small improvement would consume al
most a quarter of the whole amount,
leaving, as | understand it, approx
mately half a million dollars only for
other improvements Of like character.
1t seems to me that the opening and
widening of street running east and
west in the centre of the city is much
more important at this period than
those running north and south, and
would suggest the conserving of the
remainder of the opening fund with
this end in view.
II make this recommendation with
out reference to the studies which the
City Plan Commission Is about to
make and the plans that it may be ex-
pected to suggest for the correction OF
the layout of our streets, particularly
in the business centre

Statement When Here

it is a Taft State, and that his pres
ence here may help dissolve the Roose-

Another view expressed is that the
chief executive is favoring this State
because he would like former Gov

mate at the next campaign.
Mr.. Murphy seems to be popular
among State officials. In the State
House his candidacy was favorably
mentioned.

pressed an indictment charging Ter

Greenville Man Howled Down by
Mob-Stroke of Apoplexy Follows.

Greenville, S. c., Sept. 4.-County
Supervisor J. P. Goodwin died at his
home in this city to-day, after an ILL
ness of two weeks. The sudden death
of the supervisor is attributed IN
measure to the excitement OF the
campaign just closed. While attend
ing political meeting at, Lickvllle
two weeks ago, he was howled down
as he attempted to speak. He was a
candidate for reelection and plead
earnestly with the crowd to hear
him, but they refused to let him be
heard.
Following his vain attempt to
speak he was stricken with apoplexy
and was hurried to the city and
given every attention but the shock
was too severe for him to survive.
The excitement of the Lickville meet
ing, coupled with his defeat later at
the polls brought on his death. He
was an efficient official and had serv-
ed two terms.

Shreveport, La, Sept. 6.-Their
