Mott DenOunCes Bunny;
Calls MaCFarland Beast

From shortly after s o'clock until
1920 Prosecutor Mott proceeded with
the task of weaving a web of evidence
against the defendant, tracing the
events in the lives of the MacFar-
lands and of Bunny" Bromley up to
and after the time that Evelyn Mac
Farland was found dead in the Park
avenue house. Point by point he took
,p the statements of Lawyer McDer-
NIT. made to the jurors in the sum-
ming up for the defense in the after
noon and endangered to impress their
significance under a new light. urged
the Jurors to a mature consideration
of the evidence including that OBJ
tanned in the bundle Of Bunny" let
tiers. after which, he declared, he be-
lieved it impossible that they could
return other than a verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree"
This is a plain case of a woman
found dead" said MI. Mott, "a hus-
band living with her under what he
describes himself as 'intolerable con-
ditions,' and another woman | shall
show what kind of a man this mar
Is, what kind of a woman his wife
was and what kind of a woman he
transferred his affections to.
II shall show you that this man is
not a man at all. / don't believe
you'll ever convict him If you think
otherwise; 50 i shall show o con-
clusively that Mcfarland is not a

the defense says his client is not on

trial for immoral relations with this
woman, Bromley. Who says that he
is?' continued the prosecutor.
CslIs MacFariand "shame Of NATURE
"That kind of intercourse doesn't
constitute adultery, anyway, under
our laws; it's the kind of bestial con
duct that brands the man as the
shame of nature"
MacFarland permitted himself a
smile as Mr.. Mott flung this charge
directly at him, and without waiting
the prosecutor continued: This is
a Ease where he had acquired, in his
W words, "a consuming passion,
and he was ready to send his wife
and children to hell for the gratifica-
ton of that passion"
The prosecutor then denied that GER
tain evidence had been suppressed.
Every item of evidence, every bit of
testimony Is open and available" he
declared. SIT makes no more difference
to me than to you about mcfarland.
Officially l have a duty, but the out
come makes nj difference to me or my
home. I'd cry shame if a jury should
convict while any possibility of doubt
remained. I'll remove all possibility
Of doubt to your minds"
The only interruption came when
Mr.. Mott referred to criticism of the
prosecution in allowing mcfarland
to go to Philadelphia after the death
of his wife. do you suppose he was
out of sight?" he asked the jurymen.

McDermit then spent considerable
time In raking Prosecutor Mott and
Detective Godfrey over the Goals for
their actions in the case, declaring
that MacFarland, when he was first
In trouble over the alleged murder

He paid particular attention to the
stress laid by the State in it's opening
that It was one of the bromide bottles
that mcfarland had used as a con-
tainer for the cyanide of potassium

''They said 1t was her medicine.

McDermit then ook up the ques-

Netherlands testimony, was found in
the hands of the baby, Ruth, when he
picked her up to carry her out of the
room where her mother was lying
dead 1t had been testified that the
solution remaining in the glass was
very weak and not strong enough to
cause death.

to Motifs ear.

Mott. Don't break my eardrums."
McDermit laughed and dropped his
voice a trit1e, but repeated the ques-
ton.

McDermit then took up the letter
written by Mrs. mcfarland the
night before her death to her parents
In Maine. He showed that in that
letter there was no sign of reproach
of her husband and no fault-flnding.
In conclusion. he said: THE State

admissions and by a so-called state
ment or confession. See how honestly

FAILS TO APPEAR IN
COURT AGAINST son

Despite the fact that he had been
60 seriously assaulted that 1t was
found necessary for a physician to
place several stitches in his face,
Jeremiah Foley, of 1863 South Orange
avenue South Orange, failed today
to press a charge against his assail-
ant. John Foley, 10 years old. his
son. The son was arraigned yester-
day by Sergeant Edward A. Tracey
on a complaint made by the father.
The youth was dismissed by Police
Justice Edward w. McDonough to-
day when Mr.. Foley failed to appear
in court.
According to the police young
Foley said he had not left his bed at
noon yesterday when the father ar
rived home for lunch, The older
Foley then, according to the latter's
story to the police. threatened to
throw him u of the window, where
upon the son resisted and struck the
father several times on the face.
Mr.. Foley was attended by DR..

stage in the retrial of Mcfarland
took place last night, when Prose-
cutor Wilbur A. Mott summed up his
case for the State. Throughout the
proceedings, which went on without
interruption for over two hours, Mac
Farland sat toying with a printed

There's a lot of documentary evil

ordinarily it's the DUTY of counsel to
read. I won't weary you with 1t. 1t
all tends to show, to my mind, that
the defendant, with malice afore-
thought, resolved to kill, and his sole
idea was to make his crime appear as
a mistake on his wife's part. He
didn't want suicide. He says he
didn't, because that would bring
Bunny into prominence"
The prosecutor then spoke of the
discrepancy in Netherlands story on
the stand a veal ago and his later
testimony. The story's altogether
different he said. Hes got to
ham his story. To stick to his
original story would be tantamount
to making a plea of guilty" Mr..
Mott referred to Netherlands testi-
in which he told of turning

has all been proved untrue and was

A Friend of The Trusts.

Wilmington Every Evening independently
For several years while he
was in the office of President Of
the United States. Mr.. Roose-
Welt was the faithful friend of
the Trusts and the special inter-
est which he now calls big
business. He made not the
slightest effort to reduce the
protective tariff, the bulwark
of the trusts in their huge bus
mess profits. And when Mr..
Perkins Steel Trusts desired
to absorb the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Co., in fiat violation
of the Sherman Anti Trust law
Mr.. Roosevelt, as President,
told Mr.. Perkins and the latter's
business associates of the Steel
Trust to go ahead and he would
not enforce the law against
them.

Expect Great Canning Season

The canning industry in Maryland this
season is expected to far eclipse that Of
last year IN both quality and output,
according to a belief expressed by a
well-known canned goods broker. AT
the outset of the present season fruit
and vegetables were arriving some

the crops showed q decided increase.
Packers generally all over the state
take an optimistic view Of the situation
owing to the late crops being very
promising.
The season this year opened with a
big demand for the new crop of peas.
Thus far the demand for canned goods
on the market has been remarkable.
The late crop of tomatoes and peas,
augmented by good prospect in the
oyster trade. gives a rosy hue to the
outlook.
Thomas ]. Meehan, canned goods
broker in discussing the situation said:
This has been remarkable season in
the canning business all the way through.
The new crop of vegetables, peas and
