Telegram TO THE BEE. Sarah Althea' Hill,
whose stormy career in California has given
her national notoriety, was born;in this town
thirty-nine years ago. She comes of good
stock her father being Samuel Hill, prom
inent attorney, and her mother Julia Sloan,
the daughter of wealthy lumber dealer.
She has one brother. Hiram Morgan Hill.
Her parents died in 1854. leaving the two
orphans an estate of $4,000 Sarah Is re-
county. She attended school at Danville,
KY, and finally graduated from st. Vincent
convent, this town. She had q governess in
the person of Mrs. Barrall, sister of ex-
Congressman Hatcher.
Her grandfather, Hiram Sloan, was her
guardian, and appears TO have held slack
rein. The young woman developed a spirited
temper, and soon after reaching legal age
made her money fly. She grew up into
womanhood in much her own way, and was
noted for her beauty and temper. She was
'schemer' above all things, and this made
her unpopular among her girl companions.
1t was said OF her, too, that though she was q
spendthrift, she 'vorshipped money and gave
1t. She is remembered by her friends here
as something of fiirt, and at one time is
said to have had three engagements to marry

Gus during the time she held sway.
She was fast but her name
was never tarnished with scandal.
In love affairs Sarah was tyrannical and
more than one of her lovers had to suffer her
iron rule and eccentric whims. 1t is said she
really loved one young fellow named Will
Shaw. They were engaged to be married,
but as the result Of q tiff the young man de-
termined to break the engagement. Sarah
heard Of this, and when next he called she
was so charming that he pressed his suit
with more ardor than ever, when she had
her revenge by snubbing him. The story
goes that she really wanted and expected
him to return, but he did not, and in Sep
tember, 1870, dlsgusted and broken-hearted,
and with only the shadow of her fortune,
she started for California.
young uncle named William Sloan ac-
companied her to the coast. He was wealthy
and took his handsome niece to his mothers
home Sarah and the old lady did not live in
harmony and Sloan gave the girl fine suit
of rooms in q hotel. II was there she met

at the Leech Lake reservation came this
morning by halfbreed. He says the pill

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.
The Question Brought UP In the

A SUBJECT FOR NEXT RECESS.

tCopwtoht 1889 bp James Gordon Benns,t.l
LONDON, August 15--l New York Herald
Cable-Special TO The BEE. THE Maybrck
case found ITS way into the house OF lords to.
day and ruffied the temper of the lord chan
cellor TO an extent absolutely dangerous TO
his health. In language mild and choice
Lord Fitzgerald asked il during the coming
recess the question Of constituting an effec-
tive court of appeal in criminal cases would
be considered, and il 1T were deemed expedi-
ent would measure to effect such object be
presented.
The face Of the lord chancellor became
covered with hue that betokens the rapid
approach Of apoplexy He could only per-
fectly express his regret, he SAID, that such
question should be raised. 1t was mat
ter he preferred not to have discussed at
such time
Lord Herschel coldly stated that it was
impossible to obtain attention to the necessi-
~ for any particular reform except when the
public mind was excited on the subject. He
trusted the matter would be seriously con-
sidered by the government at the coming re-
cess, as there was undoubtedly widespread
feeling that such tribunal would give addi-
tional security against injustice and against
such agitation as the suspicion of injustice
created.
The Importance of the remarks made by
Lord Cross lies in the fact that he has been
home secretary, though the little he did say
was Of such an extraordinary character as to
deserve attention If he had never occupied
such position. Having said that he would
be prepared to express ideas at the proper
time, he added 81 am not
quite sure that, with the existing state of
things, criminals do not gain an advantage
rather than lose one by the right Of criminal
appeal Unfortunately, he failed to explain
what criminals could possibly lose by
change for the beJter in their behalf.
After Lord Cross had spoken the matter
was dropped.
To-morrow's Lancet, after thorough re-
view Of the medical testimony, will say
"We can have no desire that the royal prerog-
ative of mercy should not be exercised in this
case, but as a duty to the living relatives of
the deceased, to the painstaking, fearless and
honest jury, and to one Of the greatest orna-
ments OF the English bench, we solemnly as
sert, as our unbiased opinion, that the ver-
dict arrived at in Mrs. Maybrick's trial was
warranted by the evidence.
