MRS. MAVERICKS STORY:
A SENSATIONAL ADMISSION ON
THE STAND.

She Confessed That on the Day Before
Her Husband Died She Made Con-
fession OF Fearful Wrong She Had
Done Him and Received His For
giveness-His Addiction to Arsenic.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 5.-At the trial OF
Mrs. Maybrick for the murder of her hus-
band to-day, the examination of witnesses
for the defense was continued DR.. Nc
Namara, ex-president Of the Irish College
of Surgeons, testified that in his opinion
Maybricks death was due to gastro-enteri-
tbs, and not co arsenic.
Dr. Paul. theological examiner in Vic
toria university, declared that it would
take months to eliminate arsenic from the
system If it were taken over twice. He
also thought the symptoms in the case of
Maybrick accorded with those of gastro-
enteritis.
A chemist testified that ladies often pur-
chased fly papers for use as cosmetics.
A hair-dresser said that arsenic was fire.
quently used by ladies to improve their
compilations.
MAVERICKS CONFESSION.
Mr.. Poole, ex-mayor Of Liverpool. tes-
titled that in March last Mr.. Maybrick had
told him that he took poisonous medicines
habitually. This concluded the evidepce,
and Mrs. Maybrick then read her state
ment. In this she explained the pres
ence or Fly papers in her house by
saying that she HAD bought them for use as
cosmetics. For many years she had used q
cosmetic prescribed by DR.. Griqgs of Brook
lyn, which contained arsenic. She had lost
the prescription, and wishing TO make a
substitute, had soaked the hy-papers in elder
flower water and lavender water, and had
covered the vessel holding the mixture with
plate and towel to exclude the air.
SHE GAVE HIM A POWDER.
Continuing, Mrs. Maybrick said: son the
night Of May Q, after the nurse in attend
ance upon my husband had given him some
meat juice, [ went and sat by his bed. He
complained of being very sick and de-
pressed and implored me to give him a
powder. Earlier in the day he had made a
similar request and had declined to admin
ister the power. But that evening | was
overWrought, terribly anxious and. miser-
ably unhappy. His distress unnerVed me,
and as he said the powder was harmless and
| could put it in his food consented to mix
it with some meat juice which gave to
him. After taking it the deceased fell
asleep and appeared better on awakening.
was not anxious to administer
the powder. Afterward placed the
bottle containing the meat juice on the
washstand where it remained until Michael
Maybrick, my brother-in-law took possess
sion Of it. The day before my husband died.
made full confession to him of fearful
wrong had done him ana received his for
giveness."
This statement caused sensation in the
court room.

The Richmond Postoflce Reopens the
Old Fight
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-ln spite of official
denials it is perfectly apparent that the
fight over the Richmond postoffice has de-
veloped the lack of harmony which still
prevails in the Republican party of Vir-
ginia, after all Senator Quays efforts to
get the two factions together. j. S. Wise un-
doubtedly understood that the Quay COM
promise involved giving the Richmond
postoffice to the anti Malone faction. Now
candidate he is "a 'kicker" again. The other
kichers are in like mood They may even
persuade Brady to throw up the office he
got for his assent to Senator Quay's com
promise.
