Attacks Suicide Story.

ATTACKS Su1clue story.
Turning to the suicide theory, the
prosecutor referred to the Bunny"
letters found in a suitcase at the
MacFarland home. Let 1t be sup
posed that this mans wife found
these letters, and, crazed by their Inn
port, committed suicide. Is it prob
able, is it possible, that after taking
the fatal poison she carefully put
back the letters in the suitcase?"
Scouting the possibility of suicide,
the prosecutor quoted from a letter
to Mcfarland from his wife, in
which she said: Through no act Of
mine shall these children ever lack a
father" To such a home-loving,
child-loving woman the suicide theory
is uncomfortable, he said.
"I am compelled to declare that
this woman did no commit suicide.
l have a conception of what a low
ing, faithful wife IS, and am willing
to allow my own wife's character to
be judged by the letters sent to the
defendant by the dead woman"
Pausing a moment the prosecutor
continued:

shows Empty Bottles.
Grasping a number of empty bot
ties taken from the closet at the Park
avenue house and placing them be-
fore the jurors, MI. Mott detailed the
actions of Mcfarland in preparing
the poison. Why" he asked, did
mcfarland empty his wife's medi-
cine from this bottle and fill it with
cyanide? Why did he choose this
bottle, which was nearly full of bro
mide, when there were all these
empty bottles side by side with it?
ut has been declared by counsel
for the defence that il Mcfarland
had wished to kill his wife by placing
poison in her medicine bottle, he
would have colored it to correspond
with the curative drug" said the
counsel for the state. why. that
would have been absurd. Had he
done so you would pronounce him
guilty without leaving your seats.
No, 1t was not necessary to color the
poison. Nature covered it with dark
ness in the closet"
Mr.. Mott read testimony to show
the darkness of the closet in which
MacFarland had put the poison. He
then went on to answer Mr. McDer-
mit's query as to why mcfarland
had not thrown the poison away in
stead of leaving it in the closet after
his wife's death. Gould he have
