The Date Of Execution o Mrs. Maybrlck
Fixed.
Monday, August 26th, hes been fixed
upon as the day for the execution Of Mrs.
Maybrick, who vas last week convicted A.
Liverpool Of poisoning Ter husband. It IL
noticeable that the popular agitation for Q
reprieve for the condemned woman swells
in volume like q growing river. The
newspapers throughout the land are
printing miles Of letters from the
excited public, who are retr,inR the
case, and even then have to apologize be-
cause they cannot find room Tor scarcely
q fraction Of what ia sent them.
Public sentiment against the verdict IL 90
nearly unanimous now that the only ques-
ton seems to be between pet,tioning for
reprieve and absolute pardon. There is o
strong sentiment that the execution of
Mrs. Maybrick, under the circumstances
ON which she was convicted, would simply
be n revival of capital punishment for the
in of adultery. English justice In cases
of this kind is very swift. Unless . re-
prieye is granted the condemned woman
will probably be in her grave before the
middle Of September. The sheriff is only
required to let three consecutive Sundays
elapse between the conviction and the en-.
ecutlon.
Vanity Fair says that Mrs. Maybrick
has received several offers of marriage since
her conviction. Mrs. Tussaud has got the
woman's figure in wax. and people are
throngingt to see it. The English papers
are revi,ing the silly story that Mrs.
Maybrick's mother is a niece Of Jefferson
Davis. The petition circulated in Liver
pool in behalf Of the prisoner has received
100, 600 signatures.
