The Guilty Pairs Last Meeting.
Il have been maligned, prosecuted and
misiudged In every way he said 1T has
broken up my business and viii cause me "a
leave this city but am a man and have
made no complaint | only desire that the
terrible mistortunes Of the woman, whose
treatment mas been scarcely fair, may not ba
lurther increased through me before the
| proceedings against Mrs. Maybrick We're ini-
tated or talked Of I had arranged for vaca-
ton in the shape OF a tour about the Mediters
ranean. l made my preparations without
thought that any trouble was coming TO her.
The last intervicw had with Mrs. Maybrich
was ON April o. wish you would make nots
Of that and let the public judge how far thoss
uhree meetings, long previous 70 Alr. May

through the trial, and particularly by the
| Judge, that she and l were ON the closest
terms of intimacy, and hand in hand, W "a
| speak, in this whole matter"
Briefly scores the Judge.
81 think the judge laid unnecessary and
unfair stress on the motive The John busir
ness was AN error from beginning 70 end and
it told terribly against her The letter fron
John was a perfectly innocent letter from a
perfectly innocent party. II was the view
the judge took Of it that made it tell SC
leavily on the jury. And furthermore ]
cannot keep from blaming the judge for his
unauthorized and stated assumption that the
| intimacy INiMttu MIS- MAY IiliiA tAllil oNAA
which ended on March "a last, was IN progress
turing an the period which the trial covered
"hns your statement made Monday MORN

Done 60 Death by Woman.
The most important bearing OF Mr. Brierlyt
statement is something which appeared, moi
Ia, but between the hnes. The curious facts
and strange motives which underlie this cnss
from beginning 20 end are something amaz'
ing, and the hall has not been told One
thing is certain, however, and that is that
If Mrs. May brick is executed she viii have
Deen done 70 death by women
She. Too. Loved Briefly.
Certain facts have developed which throw
a very peculiar side light ON Brierly's state
ment The whole OF the domestic quarrel
which followed the Grand National meeting
was caused by woman. The woman was
herself in love with Briefly, and it was shs
who, through Maybrick, made the trouble
She was a near relative OF a woman who con
stitutod herself public prosecutor befors
Maybricks death, and TO that end was q
most skilled traitress to Mrs. Maybrick dur
ing all the time OF the proceedings, in which
the latter gave her full confidence.
