WIFE DIDN'T KNOW THEIR PLAN TO MARRY. ‘The explanation given by McDermit wes that Mrs. McFarland, while she knew of the friendship between her Dusband and Mrs. Bromley, had no f@ea that the pair had entered on an agreement to marry when MoFarland should obtain his divorce. “While McFarland was in New York last Tuesday night,” said Mr. McDer- mit, “his wife broke into his trunk and got out and read a lot of his personal letters. MoFarland found them strewn all over the floor around the trunk when he got home the next morning and his wife was dead in the next room. *Bho read a lot of letters that Miss) Bromley had written MoFarland, In @ome of these letters Miss Bromley urged McFarland to hurry up and get bis divorce.
