Appeals to Hard Hearted British OHl-

LONDON, Nov. 11.-An Interesting and
pathetic correspondence written octo-
Der 10, to which she representative Of
the Associated Press had access, dis
closes what unceasing, though still un-
ayailing efforts, the Baroness DeRoques
is making to succur her daughter in
prison. The appeals alternately to the
prison authorities, TO the home seere.
tary, to Sir Charles Russell as attorney
general, 10 Lord Roseberry as foreign
minister, pleads to each for release on
legal grounds and failing in these tries
to draw from the official breasts what
sentiment oil pity may be found there
in. Finally she makes Gn appeal to the
powerful journalistic influence OF Mr..
Stead, who is probably awaiting his
best opportunity TO practically intervene
on behalf OF mother and daughter by
increasing the agitation in favor Of re-
lease. The baroness had learned that
Mrs. Maybrick was seriously i'll, and
appeals to the attorney general to en-
able her to send a physician to report
on her condition and try to relieve her
suiFerings." She mentions that she
had selected DR.. Herbert Tibbits, who
had agreed to visit her daughter in
prison; but at the last moment Mr..
Pemberton, the legal adviser OF the
home Office, refused his sanction. Next
she appealed 10 Sir Charles Russell and
then to MIR. Stead writing him that her
nights aro consumed in planning and
daylight brings despair The baroness
next appealed to Lord Roseberry as fol-
lows:
To The Righi Honoro6,e lord ROBBERY, SeIeiary
Of Foreign dgdirS. London.
Ny LORD: am addressing you as an
American and US the mother OF Mrs.
AIaybrick, an American born woman OF
American parents, whose marriage in
England made her for time subject
OF the queen. am appealing to you to
consider her case. Enough has been
told about the misery and misfortune
for you to know all about her, and am
sure you feel that there have been cruel
mistakes on -the part oil England and
that she, being woman, almost girl;
u young mother, with no relation but
myself, in the misery OF an unfair de-
tention; in failing health, which is fast
bringing her the most awful OF deaths
by rapid decline, that it is indeed an
act OF mercy and debt OF honor that
YOU, as EnGland's head OF the depart
ment OF foreign affairs, assist us with
your influence Tor her release. think
the question of innocence and guilt is
no longer undecided; that the world, in
fact, finds she is innocent. At the same
time political feeling is weaving net
about the case and l would entreat to
cut these threads, ever so unimportant
and frail.
Give me back my child. Let mo take
her quietly away from England. Let
her wrongs and her suferings die in
silence for the dignity OF a great ma
ton, ii need be, but save her life to
me. The time is now near when the
law can be satisfied. the term expired
for alleged attempt at poisoning. /
wish to send my physician to report on
her case and TO try and alleviate her in
tense suffering. But / need influence
to do this, and l entreat you to assist
me. Respectfully,
[Signed. DERoQuEs.
To this appeal Roseberry replied
through his secretary that he has my
letter, and cannot interfere in matter
the consideration OF which rests exclu-
sively with the homo secretary" The
rest Of the correspondence shows that
the baroness is in constant receipt OF
the friendliest and most compassionate
letters from Miss Dodge and Mrs. Blaine.
A part OF what appears in the cores
pondence is that it is reported that Mr..
Pemberton, who really controls the
case, resents outside pressure and es-
pecially foreign pressure, and has de-
clared that no United States interior
ence, no newspaper pressure shall in
ence him.
