THE M'FARLAND CASE.
DETAILS OE THE ACQUITTAL.
Exciting Scenes on the Announcement
ot the Verdie t-Gre a t Rejoicing-State
ns -at of Mrs. fie Eu ri a Md-A Letter from
Richardson.
The acquittal of Daniel McFarland, in New
York, on Tuesday last, of the charge of mur?
dering Albert D. Richardson, was the occasion
of some ol' the most extraordinary scenes that
ever transpired in a court of justice. Just be?
fore the retirement ol' the jury, Mrt?ohn Gra?
ham, senior counsel of the accused, requested
the court to charge the jury that "if the pris?
oner committed the act in a moment of frenzy
he cannot be convicted of murder in the first
degree. I not only charge that proposition,
but ii hie m<nd was in that condition he can?
not be convicted o? any offence." [2 Keyes,
636.]^
The* Court. I so charge you, gentlemen.
The jury, at two minutes past 3 o'clock, P.
M., retired.
WAITING FOR THE VERDICT.
As soon as the jury had retired, those favor?
ed portions of the audience which were within
the bar and the ladles' circle, broke into groups
and engaged in animated conversation and
diverse speculations. as to the minds of the
jurors and the probabilities of their verdict.
"That last, point which Graham got in, just
as the Jury were going out, will carry thc ver?
dict," said a gray-heaaed lawyer.
"Yes," sala another distinguished crimi?
nal lawyer, "that was a telling point If it
was an accident, it was a happy one for the
prisoner. But I suspect it was all planned by
John, so as to get the last shot at the jury."
After an absence of an hour and forty min?
utes, the jury returned to .their seats. The
scenes which followed are graphically describ?
ed in the World, from which we copy:
THE VERDICT.
The jurors looked paler on their return.
Their deliberations up-atalre seemed to have
blanched their faces. AU eyes were turned
upon thom, and Mr. Brown, the foreman, in a
mcmenk was the target at which the gaze of
every person in the room was directed. McFar?
land was calm and collected. Mr. Graham sat
with bowed head, and exhibited much emo?
tion. A 'whisper went round the room to the
effect that the jury bad agreed to acquit the
prisoner. It was a moment of solemn sus?
pense. Mr. Yandervoort, the clerk of the
court, called the names of the Jurors, and in?
quired If a verdict had been agreed upon. He
was answered affirmatively.
Then said the clerk: "Gentlemen of the
jury, rise and look upon the prisoner."
Mr. McFarland then arose. The clerk, ad?
dressing him, said : "Prisoner, look upon the.
Jury."
The prisoner fixed a steady eye upon the
twelve raeh who were to decide the issue.
The twelve men all looked at him. Then said
the clerk, addressing them, "How find you the
prisoner at the bar, guilty or not guilty r"
"NOT GUILTY," answered the foreman in a
loud voice.
A SCENE TO BE REMEMBERED.
In the language of the old-time r?pertoriai
fraternity, "the scene that followed beggared
description." Every spectator sprang to his
feet. The women alternately waved their
handkerchiefs and wiped their eyes. Some of
them sobbed aloud. The cheering was so loud
and long that lt was heard m the new court?
house and on Chambers street, and brought a
reinforcement of spectators to the scene of re?
joicing. Mr. Graham was so overcome with
emotion that for some minutes he was unable
to speak Tears rolled down his cheeks, and
he burled his face in his bands and wept like a
child. McFarland, no longer a prisoner, was
at i once surrounded by his friends, and con?
gratulated on his good fortune. A score of
ladles rushed forward and repeatedly kissed
hlra. One old lady kissed him a dozen times.
He. stood all this "like a man," and returned
lils'thanks for the sympathy which had been so
generously accorded him.
"I knew it, I knew lt," cried one woman, as
she imprinted a kiss on McFarland's cheek.
"I knew It-I knew lt-I knew"-but before
she could explain what it was she knew she
was pushed aside by another of her sex, who
was determined, if the kissing was going to bc
general, to have a lip or two m herself.
KISSING THE COUNSEL.
So great was the joy of the ladles oyer the
verdict that they made an attack on Mr. Gra?
ham, and many of them kissed him. For some
time he was hardly able to speak, and was ob?
liged to receive these manifestations of regard
in silence. After a while be said to several old
ladies who congratulated hun on the success
of hie-efforts: "Well, I can only say that I am
proud to know that my course lias met the ap?
proval of the ladies. When a man gets in be?
tween man and wife and destroys their napp!
ness, as Richardson did, be deserves to be
shot That's the only law for such a case.
I've always said so, and always shall. There
can be no other law than that for such a case."
To some others be said; "I assure you that
I feel proud to receive your thanks and con?
gratulations. I am prouder than I would be if
you were gentlemen. I can only say that I am
proud for having pleased the ladies, and I hope
that I shall always be able to please them ou
all such occasions."
KISSING ALL AROUND.
A woman approached the jurors before they
left their Beats after rendering the verdict, and
and shook hands with each of them. She
"God blessed" them all, and assured them that
they bad done the noblest act of their lives.
The jurors returned their thanks, and their en?
thusiastic admirer retired, feeling, doubtless,
that she had done her duty. Mr. Hansen, the
fourth Juror, was literally hugged by one of
the ladies. She placed her arms around bis
neck and poured a perfect shower of kisses
upon his cheek. He bore up with marvellous
fortitude under the unexpected but pleasant
assault, and acquitted himself with honor by
kissing the fair one on the brow.
And so it went on for fifteen or twenty min?
utes. It was all hand-shaking, kissing and
congratulations all around. A reporter was
approached by a lady, who said, "Aint this
beautiful ! why, bless me, I think the reporters
ought to get some of it." saying which she seized
him around his paper collar and "smacked"
him right plump in the mouth. He was so
taken by surprise that he was unable to collect
himself for several minutes, and when he did
the lady looked upon bim smilingly, and said :
"Why, bless me, I guess you're not used to it."
CONTINUED CONGRATULATIONS.
It was now half-past five, and the officers
wanted to "close up." They ordered the crowd
out at least a hundred times, but the jubilee
was too enjoyable to be turned bock upon so
easily. The women were particularly anxious
to see the matter through. It was an experi?
ence not to be partaken of every day in the
year, and they wanted to make the most of it
while it lasted, aad these persons were con?
stantly entering the room for the purpose of
congratulating McFarland and his counsel.
Among others who thus came in was a gentle?
man connected with the Tribune. He seized
McFarland's hand. "God bless you, Mac ! God
bless you, Mac ! that is all I can say." And
that was all he did say. A noticeable fact in
connection with the affair, was that several
olergymen were among the most enthusiastic
of McFarland's congratulators. Percy, who at
the time the jury rendered the verdict, jump?
ed upon a chair and shouted and cheered with
all his might, came in for a share of the kind
words spoken to his father, and acknowledged
them by smiles and eye-glances that sparkled
with delight. As the Jurors came from their
seats, Mr. Graham and Mr. Gerry and Mr.
McFarland shook them by the hand and thanK
ed them for their verdict.
CHEERS FOR THE COUNSEL.
As Mr. Graham, accompanied by h'm brother,
Mr. De Witt C. Graham, and Mr. Gerry, left
the room, the crowd cheered him. McFarland
soon after left and he, too, was the recipient
of a round of cheers in hte honor. He was
followed bv the crowd, and after reaching
Chambers street and entering a carriage, in
which he was driven away, the multitude gave
him a "three times toree." He was accompa?
nied in the carriage by his nephew, Dr. McFar?
land, and a lady, and was taken to Dr. McFar?
land's residence In Lamartine place, in Twen?
ty-ninth street, where he passed the night,
now TnEJURT STOOD.
It is stated that the Jury stood ten.for acquit
tal and two for conviction of one of the gra
of manslaughter, when they first entered
jury room. The matter was discussed for sc
time, and finally the two jurors yielded, an
unanimous verdict was agreed upon.

At the age of nineteen, in the year 1857, ?
married McFarland at her home in New Han
shire. He was then 37 or 38 years of age, h
some years previously been admitted to 1
Massachusetts bar, but at the time of the m
riage represented himself a member of the I
of Madison. Wisconsin, willi a flourishing li
practice, brilliant political prospects, a
possessed ot property to the amount
$20,000 or $30,000. He also professed to bc
man of temperate habits and purest mora
Immediately alter the marriage they we
to Madison, as she thought to resi
permanently. While in New York on t
way, kc had to borrow the money to contin
the Journey. They had been in Madison oi
a few weeks when he told ner that he was p
ing to New York to live, as he could trade f
lands there for real estate or personal prop?
ty. Tiley were detained at Rochester on th<
way to New York, by her illness for ten da]
and he had to pawn his watch and chain 1
his hotel bill. In New York, where theyt
rived in February, 1858, he kept her three
four weeks, and then after pawning all t
jewelry she had to pav the board bill, sent h
lo her lather in New Hampshire, having chi
returned home in less that three months aft
marriage. With the exception of a week
two, she remained at her father's until tl
fall of 1868, McFarland representing in tl
meantime that bis business required mu?
travelling about. She had discovered enouf
to feel a suspicion that he was intemperate, ai
it was not without misgiving that she return?
with him to New York. Then commenced the
life of wretchedness. They hired a cottage !
Brooklyn, furnished two or three rooms, for
few weeks kept a servant, and being without a
qnaintances, lived almost entirely alone. ?
here first began to come home intoxicate!
He would also come home sober, bringing wil
him quart bottles of Scheldam schnapps; woul
put them by his bedside, and sometimes drin
the whole before morning. This was onlj tw
or three months before the first child wt
born, and .bis conduct had become so dis g us
lng that "her affection for him was very muc
chilled-nearly, she might say, destroyed.
Although he professed during this time t
have made several trades of his Wisconsl
lands, making what he called excellent ba;
gains, she was always oppressed for want <
money, and with great difficulty got a scant
wardrobe for her baby, which was born in D<
cember. This child died the* following spring
when sho was at her father's, where, Tt seemi
she spent tho best part of her time up to thc!
separation in 1867. McFarland paying but
small amount for her board, but frequent!
borrowing money from her father. When b
was out of any employment, 1 it was e
length evident that abe should do some
thing for the support of the family, an
after they Md shifted about from place t
place, she finally, at Madison, Wisconsin, ii
1801, gave some public readings, on his propc
sltlon, which she repeated after coming to Ne;
York. Hen she met with many vicissitudes
and met with many kindnesses Irom Mrs. Cal
houn, Mrs. Sinclair and others, who at on
t ime found her In abject poverty, nearly alway
miserable on account of the drunken brutall
ties oi her husband. In one of her later letter
to Mrs. Calhoun, in which she confided to he
her troubles, she says: "You know when I wa
married I had not much experience of life o
judgment of character. When Mr. McFarlani
asked mc to marry him, I said 'yes.' wlthou
proper deliberation. I was not in love wltl
any one else; everybody got married, :
thought, and I never questioned whether '.
was sufficiently in love or not." On Christmas
1862, he pawned all her jewels. He was un
s peak ably cruel to her, ana threatened to fore?
Knissie acid down her throat, and to let hi!
earl's blood out before her. One morning
after a drunken orgle, he struck her a blow
across the face, making ber reel backward
and which she never could forget. After thli
she always caught bis eye when In a passion
fancying he ';ouid not do her mortal violence.
By silence or self-control she believed ber lift
was thus saved. Sometimes be approached
ber with hands extended, and his fingers beni
like claws, as if about to clutch at her throat,
crying, "How I would like to strangle you
Your life Is bound sometime to end in a trage?
dy, and your blood will be on your own head.'
He became bitterly enraged, drank heavily
and used expressions in Mr. Richardson's hear?
ing she could not endure. At last he declared
be was willing to separate; that she might gc
to her father. At midnight he bade her an
eternal farewell, saying tnat he was certainly
going to destroy himself. He took another
notion, and begged forgiveness. She placed
herself under the protection of Mrs. Sinclair's
roof, and never after saw McFarland except in
the presence of others. Mr. Richardson's treat?
ment of her was always most respectful and
reserved. Her boy, seven years old, was al?
ways present at his calls. He pitied her.
In a passion McFarland seized and broke
lamps, glasses, mirrors and would tear up her
bed and night clothing. She then speaks of the
accidental introduction to Mrs. Sinclair, who
treated her with kindness and got her husband
a situation-Mrs. Sinclair giving house rent
free. On New Year's Day of 18C7 McFarland
drew two weeks of her salary at the theatre
?nd went on a drunk, leaving her unable to
pay her board bill. She relates her accidental
meeting with Richarson, who came to lodge al
the same house, and McFarland seeing her in
his working room getting her some manuscript.
She says he saw her struggling through the
?'orld with her children, separated from ber
usband, and loved her. This love was re?
turned. The formal separation from McFar?
land, in which he seemed to release her irom
the bondage in which he had held her, had to
her tho moral effect of a divorce. Regarding
the intercepted letter, she says it was a mix?
ture of ?est and sentimentalism. Any one who
knew Mr. Richardson would readily understand
his allusion to his love of her as the growth of
years. It was simply sentimentalism, as he
hal known her only a few months.
She admits thc impropriety ol' her conduct
and that of Richardson ia their mutual expres?
sions of love, but declares that further than
this their intercourse was most pure and hon?
orable, and that they rarely met irom the time
of her husband's first shooting Richardson, in
1867, until their marriage, in 1869, and then
only in the presence ol others. She expresses
great regret at ever having alloweTi herself to
agree to a division of the children. Regarding
her divorce in Indiana, she knew Mc Kurland
had committed adultery while she lived with
him, and had been offered proof of his com?
mitting the crime since she left him. But she
preferred a divorce on the grounds of drun?
kenness, extreme cruelty, and lailure of sup?
port. She soncludes as follows :
Asio Mr. McFarland hlmBeif, I believe now,
as ? have believed for years, that he was a
man born to do a murder. The fuct that he
was always uttering threats of bloodshed does
not so much convince mc of this as the fact of
his temperamenr, which, partly from heredi?
tary causes, partly from his nationality, and
partly from bad education, had become one of
uncontrollable violence. I believe he feared
this himself. Often during our early married
life, when I told him in his reasonable mo?
ments that he would kill me In some of tils fits
of passion, he asserted with vehemence that
ne "should never harm a hair of my head."
Toward the last of my lifo with him, however,
he said several times, in answer to expressed
fears, "I shall never harm you, if I know you,"
which convinced me that he did not feel sure
of himself. And I believe simply and truly that
if I had stayed with him, sooner or later, I
should have been the victim ol his blind fury.
I have written all without malice or hard
feeling against him. Mr. McFarland married
me a girl in years, a child in experience. In
every way he abused MB claim In me, he turn?
ed my love to bitterness, he took all the bloom
and sweetness from my life When ? went
away, and he found I had begun perhaps, to
feel a hope of happiness, bis wounded vanity
and desire for revenge, turned his naturally
mad temper into blackest madness. He swore
to my friends, by all the fiends that he "would
rob me ol my reputation, my children, all that
I held dear." He has done so, and I pity him
from my soul.
When the trial for his life commenced I com?
miserated bim deeply. I knew that death,
which seemed BO definitely sweet and peaceful
and blessed, when I turned from Mr. Rlchnrd

. FonnHAM. N. Y., )
Sunday Night. December 1,18C7. j
My Jkar Junius-\>n the last nine pages of
my " Household Expense Book," in my desk
jere, you will lind a clear statement of my
business affairs.
Should the madman who has once attempted
my life-and who just now shows some Symp?
toms of renewing his attempt-succeed in Rili?
ng me, as he has threatened so vehemently to
scores of people, will you please set forth
dearly a few of thc facts, for the sake of the
ady they involve (you know how hard, how
seff-sacriflcing, and how pure lier life has been)
ind of ray own children, whom I wish to have
know all abou. them, that they may see. in
maturer years, that my conduct in this matter
bas at least left them nothing io blush lor.
3ome of these cardinal facts are:
First. That he has inherited a taint of mad?
ness in his blood, his grandfather (maternal)
uavine died a maniac, and one of his brothers
having been for years notorious for his abso?
lut? madness when under Hie influence ol'
liquor, and having so abused his wife at such
times, that she will carry the scars to her
dying dav. In his liquor fits his family have
been obliged to keep him shut np like any
other madman.
Second. That before Daniel McFarland had
been married to his wife two years he had, in
a flt of passion, struck her so violently in the
face that ehe carried the marks for days, and
that again and again, In his mad fits, he had
terrlfiedher with threats of violence to himself
and her by the display of revolvers, knives.
&c, &c.
Third. That from pride and delicacy she had
shielded him as far as possible, had kept his
infirmities secret in the vain hope that he
might reform; had worked hard and uncom?
plainingly for the support of her children and
of him; that finally she had explained fully to
two of her friends, about the first of January1
last, the terrible life that was killing her, and I
asked their counsel; that the letter to one cf 1
t?em m wmcn sue UKI mis is sim in existence,
to be seen by any one who haB a right to in?
quire into tlie matter, and that it bears on its
face such evidence ol truth and candor and
moderation that anybody with any knowledge
of character cannot fail tobe impressed with its
Judicial exactness.
Fourth. That all this was before I had any?
thing but the most formal acquaintance with
her.
Filth. That Anally, late In February last, in
one of his frenzied Hts, while I chanced tobe
rooming in the same house with him, I heard
enough of his violence to give me the gravest
apprehensions of tragedy.
t?ixth. That she then separated from him;
sent for her father, and in his presence and
that of other friends, had an interview with
him; began to recount what she had under?
gone; that he would not hear her go into de?
tails which he knew so humiliating to him;
that she told him in presence of these witness?
es, it was her inflexible determination never
to live with him again; that in the same prc-1
sence he acquiesced in thc separation, and
voluntarily saki that he consented for the pre?
sent that the custody of the children should be
with her father,
Seventh. That in spite of all his assevera?
tions of her story, only a few weeks before
they did separate he had himself proposed that
they should separate; that he wished to go
and talk thc matter over with a gentleman
whom both knew, (Mr. G..) and she kepi him
from going because he was in liquor.
Eighth."That she now has in her possession
a letter of his written to her six years before I
knew either party, in which, over his own sig?
nature, and in his own hand, he fully admits
lils violence to her, and corroborates in gene?
ral every word ol her own statement about lt.
(I have been thus minute, because he has
asserted so frequently that there had been no
trouble between them, save the usual "tiffs,"
as he phrases it, between husband and wife;
and that, all assertions to the contrary, are
the result o? a plot or conspiracy between her,
two or three of her lady friends, and myself, to
take her from him and destroy his domestic
peace. )
Ninth. That after this final separation last
February, alter she had applied to lier lawyer,
Mr. Rurik le. to take the necessary steps for a
divorce, she was BO situated that I was thrown
much with her. that I knew her character and
worth thoroughly; that my sympathies for her
Buffering and helplessness in facing the world
with two children to support, which had exist?
ed all the while, developed Into a warmer feel?
ing-that I loved her-that lt became an un?
derstood thing between us that when she was
legally free she would become my wife. Before
the separation no such thought had entered my
heart and she had never uttered one word tc
me which the most loyal wife might not speak
to any gentleman whom she knew and res?
pected.
Tenth That some weeks after thc separa?
tion he intercepted a letter from me to her,
which showed him that when she should be
legally free I hoped to marry lier-a letter
couched in the terms usually employed by a
man toward the lady who is to be his wife.
Eleventh. That after getting this letter,
early on a Monday morning, he kept it: said
nothing to any one about it; did not seek me
either in Hartford or New York, though he
knew my places of business, and exactly how
to And mo, but concealed his purpose, and
never approached me until ll o'clock of the
dark, rainy Wednesday night, nearly three
days after obtaining it, as we were going from
the theatre where she was employed, and
where I had called to escort her to her friend's
house, where she was staying for a month,
till her engagement should be over, and she
could return to her parents in Massachusetts
be stole stealthily up behind me, and, with lils
pistol within fourteen inches of my body,
shot me ii. my back; that he fired two more
shots at me in all, and while he was trying to
get off a fourth I grappled him, threw him to
the pavement and there held his pistol, pow?
erless, until I had called thc police and deliv?
ered him into their custody.
Twellth. That I refrained from prosecuting
him, because I did not wish needless public
scandal about her, because 1 knew bc was half |
a madman, and because I also knew that I had
done wroDg to speak ol' marriage with her
soon after ber separation with him. Of course
thc fault was in no. sense hers. She was a
helpless woman, so nervous willi apprehension
and terror of him that she started wildly when?
ever she heard a door-bell wring, and she
turned naturally to one who offered her sym?
pathy, shelter and affection at such. time. I
ought to have been more prudent, but the fact
was there, and I neither sought to esade it or
deny lt I simply told thc truth about the mat?
ter. She remained In New York and took care
of me during the five days that my wound kept
me in bed, and then returned to her parents.
I heard on all sides threats ol'my life from him,
but only replied to them that if he sought lo
murder mc again I should defend myself as
well as I could, and that sooner or later, lf|
sho and I both lived, I should surely marry
her, If she acquiesced. And If I do live, I cer?
tainly shall, il he attempts to kill nie everyday
