cell. She knocked at the door, The light in
the cell was instantly turned up and the door
| opened by one of the female watchers We
passed in. The cell was lighted by single gas
| jet burning brightly.
Mrs. Maybrick was undressed and in bed.
| She lay on her back, her hair loosely coied
| about her head. She made no sign as we en-
tered. She merely turned her eyes and look ed
at us. She was very weak and had listless
| air natural to her condition. The governor
went close to her bedside and said: Mrs. May

home secretary which states that he advised
the queen to commute your sentences to impris-
