LIVERPOOL, Aug. S-Hrs. Maybrick, an
American lady who has been on trial here
for week on charge of causing her hus-
bands death by poisoning, was found
guilty by tho jury yesterday. After the
Judge had delivered his charge, which was
exceptionally strong against the fair pris-
oner, the jury retired. At the end of one
hour and u half the members re-entered the
courtroom.
The foreman of the jury said: ave have
agreed that the accused is guilty" The
clerk asked the customary question
whether the woman had any thing
to say before sentence OF death
was passed The prisoner, pale and
haggard, rose. with a respectful bow,
and addressed his lordship in these words:
MY lord. evidence has been kept back
from the jury which, II it had been known,
would have altered the verdict am not
guilty of this offense." Saying this she sat
down, gasping for breath, and seemed more
dead than alive. The poor woman sat sob
bling like child, while the Judge, as
Stunning the black cap, in solemn tones sem
fenced her to be hanged by the neck till
dead At this moment there was an awful
hush upon the court, and a pin could have
been heard to drop. Some of the women
present were In tears. The judge himself

sands of people assembled around the en-
trance to the courtroom and waited for
the departure of the Judge AS soon as he
made his appearance he was greeted
with bowls of rage. and the hooting of the
crowd was kept upf for long time. There
were incessant cries of "Shamew and an
attack upon the judges carriage was only
prevented by the active interference Of
the police. The feeling in Liverpool
against the verdict is intense Steps have
been taken to secure stay of execution on
the ground of the discovery of further
medical evidence.
LONDON, Aug. S-The London papers

holds that enough evidence has been pre-
sented on the side of the accused to make
her case one for the earnest consideration

poisoned by his wife, and one OF them
Michael Maybrick, commenced to watch her.
In his testimony he said that he had visited his
brother during his illness and had warned Mrs.
Maybrck that he suspected his brother was re-
