tence has been commuted to penal servi.

After a prolonged consultation between

was arrived ut that Mrs. Maybrick had
administered poison TO her husband

ment, will be entertained.
Up TO midnight last night no formal

bricks sentence had been received by
the prison officials here, Mrs. May brick
has not been informed Of the decision In
her case. Her mother tainted on hear
ing the news. The decision is iavorably
