to Pay
Wife's Alirnony
Costly for Him

Because he failed to pay S25 counsel
fee and So a week alimony, Louis Sedo,
a blacksmith, of Bloomfield, will have
to show cause in a court of chancery
why he should not be compelled to
give a bond of $1,000 to insure the pay
ments as the court ordered.
Mrs. Sedo secured a separation some
time ago, and Sedo was ordered to
pay IS a week for the support of his,
wife and their two children. Sedo let
his weekly payments drop to IS and
finally to So, and about two weeks S
he was ordered to resume the payment
of IS a week.
He has sent his wife IS since that
time, it is said, and her attorneys have
had to go to him to collect the other
three.
Today the vice-chancellor said he
would have to pay $40 a week. and
also show cause why he should not
furnish a bond to guarantee regular
payments. The order is returnable in
che week.

Everything was pleasant On cross
examination he answered mo to a
question as to whether his change oil
| personal feeling toward MacFarland
had been brought about by a visit
made to him by Walter Godfrey, of the
prosecutors office.
Prosecutor Mott then introduced an
eighteen-page letter written by Mrs
MacFarland to her mother on october
II, the night preceding her death
There was some argument over the ad-
mission of this letter, which stated
that she (Mrs. MacFarland) was happy
and contented and that everything was
going all right with her.
chief Justice Gummere ruled thai
this letter should be admitted in evil
dence, as Of the state of mind of the
daughter written in a confidential com
munication letter to her mother on the
night preceding her death. The CHIEF
justice said: IT think this letter is
competent, as it shows the state OF
mind of Mrs. MacFarland Just preced-
ing her death. The jury should have
it's contents, as they may be called
upon to decide whether Evelyn took her
own life or not
The last witness called by the State
was William j.. Kinsley. the handwrit-
ing expert. who identified certain writ
ings shown him as being written by
the same person. These were parts OF
the Mcfarland ana Miss Bromley
Dear Bunny letters. His examina-
ton was very short, and then the
prosecutor announced that he ha6

clothes were rem and she seemed to be
suffering from shock.
She lapsed into a hysterical state i'll
which she necessarily repeated: oh,
that terrible negro! Don't let him throw
me out of the window!"
Marshal Mcguire says hat he found
in the ruins the knife with which her
clothes were slashed. Instead of be-
longing to a negro, as she said in her
dramatic story of the attack made
upon her, the marshal claims hat it Is
one of her own knives.
Justice Roll and Francis Spier, presi-
dent of the Village Board of Trustees,
are said to believe Mrs. Thomson,
harassed by financial difficulties, was
temporarily insane.
Mrs. Thomson was Miss Louise Eve
Romano, one of whose ancestors, it is
said, came over with Peter ~Stuyvesant.
Her father built the old Romano
chapel, afterward known as the Dutch
Reformed Church, in Ann street, New
York city. She was married in India,
it is said. although in April, 1910, it is
believed she endeavored to have her
marriage annulled.
She started the Hopper Kettle" only
a few months ago. 1t is said to be in
sured for $500 in her favor.
Although Mrs. Thomson was placed
under arrest at $40 a. m. yesterday
by Marshal Mcguire and Sergeant Ed
ward "A. Tracey, she was not taken t.
the village jail until 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon. This courtesy was
granted by Marshal Mcguire because
be had last week promised Mrs. H
A.. Manville, of P~leasantville, N. Y.
Mrs. Tronson's wealthy sister, that be.
fore he would take any action against
Mrs. Tronson, should he decide to dc
so. he would first notify Mrs. Man
vile.
In carrying out his duties. however
the chief found that he would have
TO first place the woman under ar.
rest. He then, however, allowed Mrs
Thomson to notify her relatives and
procure counsel before he forced hel
to go to Jail. Heavily yelled and ac-
companied by her brother, J.. C. Ro
maine, of Brooklyn, and counsel, VIII.
lam Hayward, of the firm of Wing &
Russell, New York, Mrs. Thomson made
the trip to jail in a cab.
Mrs. Thomson was not locked up in G
cell, but was Immediately released
when her counsel produced a certified
check for $1,000 from the Hanover
Bank of New York. This was to assure
her appearance before Police Justic,
j.. Martin Roll for a formal hearing OF
the date set.
1t was today by Henr,
w. Foster, superintendent of South Or
ange schools, that tickets and the re
served seat charts for ar. entertain
ment to be given in the gh Schoo
auditorium next Friday night wer
destroyed in the Hopper Kettle fire
He said that a new set of tickets an,

added that inasmuch as no RECORD
had been preserved of the tickets al
