THAT ARSENIC FACE WASH.
1t may be remembered that during the
trial in Liverpool Mrs. MAVERICK stated
that she had been in the habit of using a
preparation of arsenic as a simple face
wash. She said it was an ordinary pre-
scrlptlon nlied ny New ork druggist, ana
she was sure the prescription paper was
somewhere among her effects if it had not
been destroyed. A search was made for
many days, but the paper could not be
found. Great stress was laid upon the alb
sence Of this paper in the speeches before
the court, and in the end the very fact OF
the non-appearance of the paper was held
as corroborative evidence OF her untruth-
fulness and guilt.
After the case had ended and the woman
had gone to prison, she still insisted with
great vehemence that such a prescription
had been in existence. A fresh search was
made by her mother, but without avail. I'M
til ct last by chance it WAS discovered be-
tween the leaves of the family Bible, thus
proving the truth of her statement during
the trial.
