MRS. MAVERICKS BNpKNsKs.

Very Little Money to Pay Her solicitors
Foes-Bricrly's Exaggerated Libcraiit,.
Pal ua.i Gd-enc
The reports which came from the Ameri-
can interyiewers about Mr.. Briefly having
given GO, 500 towards the expense OF Mrs.
Maybrick's defense are without a particle
OF foundation. The whole amount he con
tributed was one check OF clOO sent 10 the
prisoners solicitors The original amount
it was agreed TO pay Sir Charles Russell
for his services was c5OO and clOO o day
But AZ the trial lasted 70 much longer than
was expected, the amount accepted by Sir
Charles WAS $500. So far Mrs. Maybrick'a
solicitors have not been very handsomely
rewarded for their immense work. After
realizing Mrs. May bricks American prop
erty, and adding 10 IL the money sub
scribed for the defense, the solicitors have
received sufficient TO pay costs ont of
pocket.
There was some expectation that the lic
policy would realize, but that has fallen
through. Mr.. Msybrick, the year before
his death. had injured himself in the Mu-
tual Reserve Fund Insurance taking out
two policies. One policy WAS for c7 "'1'
payable TO his children. and that "a
been proved, and the money will be-
ed OTer In few days.
The other policy, for -, OOO, was ,
TO Mrs. Maybrick, but It now tmnspires
that this policy is cancelled, because per
son cannot benefit by an insurance on the
life Of an individual whom be has been
convicted Of killing Before the trial, how
ever, the insurance company advanced c2OO
on this cancelled policy, which money, Of
cou Sc, they will lose. The resident man
ager took the check for GOO to Walton
jail, and Mrs. Maybrick, coming into the
Governors room in a pretty costume, e2-
smined the draft receipt carefully, fixed
her signature 10 IL In firm hand, and
with a bright smile said 10 the manager.
please hand the check 10 my solicitors
