The Maybr,oh Poisoning Case


The Msybrich Poisoning Case.
Our dispatches a day or two ago con-
tanned an account Of the arrest in London
OF Mrs. James Maybrich. who was cha ged
with having poisoned her husband in Liver
pool M James Mnybrich Was well known
in New Orleans, where lie was quito popu-
lar. He met the woman, who is charged
with having killed him with poison, in
Europe.
It seems that the mother Of Mrs. May
brch has had q rather remarkable career.
In 1856 she made her appearance in Mobile.
She wss then known as Carrie z. Holbrook.
aud was a guest of Rev. J. II. Ingraham,
rector OF st. johns church, and al
author Of some note. Being beau
tiful and talented she was a favor
ite in society. She married William
g. Chandler, successful young business
man. She appears to have lived happily
with him until the breaking out Of the civil
war A dasniag young officer named Du
Barry then began to show an attachment
for her, and Mr.. Chandler was taken sick
suddenly and died There was 50 much
mystery attending his sickness and death
that it was Whispered about that his wife
had poisoned him. Mobile became q
rather uncomfortable pia for her, and
she removed, with her children, to Macon,
Ga. Within year after tho death Of her
husband sue married DuBbrry, who, soon
afterward, was appointed a confederate
agent in Europe. He started for his post,
Go J, in
blockade runner. He was accompanied by
! his wife Before tao vessel had been at sea
many days DuBarry was taken i'll and sud-
denly died. The captain wanted to return
in order that DuBasry might bs buried
ashore. To this the wife would not listen.
! She insisted that he should be buried in
the sea.
She remained in Europe awhile and then
went t. Now York where she was mixed up
in scandal with an actor. She went to
Europe again and was there married to
Baron Won Royne. They did not ge5 along
together and separated. At last accounts
l she was the repute1 wife of a member of
I tho BIRTHS legation at TeherSn, Persia. 1t
/ is said that she had remarkable collection
| OF poisons and took great delight in show
ing it to strangers.
Some days ago tae esteemed New York
| Sun published an alleged remedy for
! rheumatism. 1t was the bite Of nice, well
grown rattlesnake. Now the New York
! Herald states, on the authority OF man
/ who says no has trioi it, that a rattlesnake's
/ heart swallowed win cure consumption
| The man says that when he was about 20
/ years old ne vas wasting away with con-
sumption; that one day an old gentleman
/ told him he could DO cured by swallowing
/ ! raJt.esaaks's heart; that he hesitated
/ until he was nearly in the gravs, and that
/ he then did what the Old gentleman advised.
| In year from that time, be says, no was
| in good health. aud has besu ever siuce.
/ The rattl9snake is rap diy coming to the
/ front. It will take the place OF numerous
/ patont medicine, after awhile.
! Miss Mary Gilpin diei in Galveston She
/ other day. SEE was about so years old, and
vas sister OF the late Col. Gilpin, who
/ was well known from the Mississippi river
TO the Rocky mountains, and who was one
/ Of the early governors OF Colorado. Miss
T CUpln WAS aDlo 70 nave ONoTy tuLuE huc
/ needed, but she died in a hut, surrounded
! by all Of the evidences Of poverty. 1t will
I be seen that Miss Gilpin was An eccentric
individual. In 1876 she acquired a mania
/ for travelling, and she visited nearly every
country in the world. Returning TO this
country, she lived for a short while in Cali
fornia, then she went to Alaska aud estao
lishod "a very humble home Becoming
tired Of Alaska, she moved to Washington
territory, and finally drifted to Galveston
