Leaving New York, after this episode,
Mrs. Rebello went to Paris, taking her chill
dren with her. Holbrook was sent to school
there, and ultimately became physician.

Florence was sent to school in the same city.
Mrs. Rebello's, OF Du Barry's, or Chandler's
which ever name is preferred-bouse be-
came centre for many of the bright wits OF
French society; it was veritable salon, If
not OF the celebrity OF Recamier orDeStael's,
still quite noted. Here drifted the young
Baron Won Rogue. captain in the corps
dornaee of the Prussian army, commanded
by the Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia,
with headquarters at Berlin. Paris was in a
transition state. The Germans had the cap
ital, and their spiked helmets and blonde
boards were more numerous than the long
waXed moustachios and red and gold-laced
forage caps of the French. Won Rogue was
dandy and spendthrift. He was 10 the
hands of the Jews. He saw the pretty,
graceful, brilliant widow, and he thought
with her funds-which he imagined were
much greater than they were-he could pay
off his debts, and once more flush with mon
ey try his fortunes at hazard and ecarte. A
marriage was the result, and the widow be-
came the Baroness Won Rogue. No sooner
were they married than the Jew firm in
Berlin, that held the Baron's l. o. us,
brought suit against him for the money and
tried to attach the property of the Baroness,
She was too sharp for them, however. She
fought them at law, and downed them. Then
they bothered the Baron. Next, it is said
let us hope for the credit of nobility that the
report is false-the Baron beat the Baron
ess. Then the Baroness separated from the
Baron, and returned to la belle Paris.
1t has been said that the Baroness a short
time ago went to Teheran, Persia, where
she was noted person at the court of the
Shah, but letter received from her about
the time she is reported to have been in Per-
STA, and dated Paris, evidently gives the lie
to that story. She still remains in the
French capital, unless she has gone to Eng
land, as is very likely, to be with her daugh-
ter in her great affiiction.
1t will be remembered that the Baroness
Won Rogue. when Mrs. Chandler, had two
children-the only ones she was ever blessed
with In all her marriages-one Holbrook.
practicing medicine in Paris, and Florence.
After Florence attained her education. she
travelled to America, on brief visit home
with her mother. A photograph of Flor
ence, owned by lady of this city, taken by
kedington, OF Bold street, Liverpool, only a
short time ago, shows a slight, erect figure,
a well shaped, well poised head, surmounted
by great braids of dark hair, artistically
coied about the crown, full lower face
almost pouting in fact Grecian nose, and
low, broad forehead. There is a peculiar
expression about the face. and the lady says
it is due to the eyes; that Florence May
brick has eyes of the clearest liquid green
such eyes as are not seen but rarely in life
time, permeated with an intense expression
that at times causes an uneasy feeling to the
person looked at.
While returning from America with her
mother, Florence met James Maybrick. at
the time man over 40 years old and doing a
large business in cotton at Liverpool. May
brick fell in love with Florence and after
their arrival in England followed her to Lon
don. They were married at once in st.
James church, Piccadilly. The bride was
then described as from Norfolk, Va Mrs.
Maybrick had a separate fortune of about
$4,000 year left her by her father. Her hus-.
band owned fine residence, Battlecrease
House, Grassendale, suburb of Liverpool.
They went there to live and two children
were the fruit of the marriage
Mr.. Maybrick had two brothers, one of
them, Michael, being well-known baritone
at London concerts and better known in
America as Stephen Adams, composer of
NANCY Lee" and other popular songs. Five

to see Michael. he complined then of feel
ing strangely unwell, and said he had been
taking medicine which, instead of making
him better, made him worse. He returned
to Liverpool, but grew SO much more Ill he
had to take to his bed. While in this condi-
ton his little child dropped letter in the
muddy street, while out with the nursemaid,
and the maid, Alice Tapp, picked it up in
tending to put it in another envelope and
send it to its address. 1t was written with
pencil and addressed to A. Briefly, ESQ.,,
Huskisson street, Liverpool. In this letter
commencing Dearest" these words &C.
CURED, after speaking of her husbands crit
ical sickness:
IN. has been delirious since Sunday, and
know he is Ignorant of everything, even of
the name OF the street, also that lie has not
been making any inquiries whatever. The
tale ne told me was mere fabrication, and
only intended to brighten the truth out of
me. In fact, he believes my statement, al
though he will not admit it,
"You need not, therefore, go abroad on
THIS ground, dearest; but ia any case don't
leave England until | have seen you once
again. You must not feel that those two
letters OF mine were written under circum-
stances which must ever excuse their injus-
tlce In your eyes. Do you suppose | could
act as | am doing If | merely felt what in
ferred? If you wish to write me about any
thing do so, as all letters pass through my
hands at present.
Excuse this scrawl, my darling, but l
dare not leave the room for moment, and l
do not know when l shall be able to write TO
you again.
In haste, your own
FLoRRIE."
This note was written by Florence May
brick, James Maybrick's wife. The nurse
maid instead of sending it to its destination,
gave the letter to James brother, Edwin,
who consulted the police. They allowed the
funeral to go on, as few hours after the
letter was picked up, James Maybrick died.
The inquest was then held, Mrs. Maybrick
being put under arrest and taken to Wal
tbsm Jail. The evidence before the in
quest was very strong for the Crown
and Mrs. Maybrck held on a charge of MUIR
der. The testimony showed that Mrs. May
brick and her husband quarrelled last
March, and she threatened to leave his
house. He said if she did she never would
enter it again. His brother testified to Mrs
Maybrick changing the labels ON bottles of
medicine. The nurses and servants testified
to finding fly papers in bowl covered with
liquid, to the bad feeling between husband
and wife, to the sick man imploring his wife
not to give him the wrong medicine, as he
felt so queerly after taking it. Mrs. Sumner,
friend of Mrs. MS, testified that Mrs.
Aaybrick told her she hated her husband.
and would make it hot for him. The chill
dren's nurse handed Edwin Maybrick four
bottles of arsenic poison in fluid form, found
in the prisoners possession on the day her
husband died. 1t is said that Mrs. Maybrick
will claim, through friends who will go to
England from Norfolk, Va, to testify, that
Maybrick was in the habit of taking arsenic.
