In Mr. Maybrick's body.
That therefore. all the evidence at the trial failed
TO reveal any connection whatever between the arsenic
store found the house, the store found in
the Office or the arsenic store found In the meat.ilce
or the arsenic found In the ny-paper, ana Mr..
Maybricks death between these and any malicious
intent or evil act Of Mrs Maybrck
That since Mr.. Maybrick was a confirmed arsenic
eater and Mrs May brick not; and since a large
part OF the arsenic WAS found In Mr.. Maybrcks
dressing room and ONCE and no part In Mrs. Nav.
bricks private possession, and since the only arsenic
which could be traced TO Mrs. Maybrck stopped at
Mrs Maybrck's cosmetic basin and could not be traced
10 Mr, Maybrick's body. It Is unreasonable, unwar.
rantabe. clumsy and cruel to transfer the arsenic
from Mr.. Maybr.cks hat-boaes to Mrs. Maybricks
assumed malice.
That the post-mortem examination revealed IN Mr
MAVERICKS body only One.twcntieth part OF fatal
dose Of arsenic, an amount entirely consistent with
Its medicinal ngestion; that Drs. Tidy, Paul and
Mcnamara testified that all his symptoms pointed
away from arsenic as the canse OF death that Mrs.
Maybrick asserted that her husband In his last illness
repeatedly and pathetcally impored her TO give hlu
a certain powder I'm his own possession and unknown
to the DOCTORS and hitherto unknown 10 herself,
OF whose composition She remained gnorant, because
he said lie In great distress ana that II would
relieve him that the present TESTIFIED that they
talked much together low tone SO that there
was abundant opportunity for him 10 make these
requests unheard, that the effect upon an habitun
arsenic eater of the sudden and entire deprivation Of
arsenic IS great distress depression that therefore,
Is there not only no proof that Mr.. Maybrck died
Of arsencal poisoning, but something very near an
mposslbiHty that he could have died OF arsenicai
poisoning and possibility, II not probability, thas
his death was hastened by the deprivation, consequent
upon the constant presence OF nurses and doctors and
wife OF his customary allowance OF arsenic.
That the Judge recognizing tile imperiecuon OF
tho evidence against Mrs Maybrlck laid chief stress

connection their presence together at hot'l

that since the trial this walter has protested, over
his own SIGNATURE that he had understood his
duty that as he was employed by the prosecution he
went by their orders; that he did not In any true
sense Identity Mrs. Maybnck or her alleged paranour

That il partially appeared IN court and has since

but were not a motive 10 murder; that In the leht
OF her knowledge OF his immortality, Of her knowledg
OF the laws Of separation and divorce and her prompt
action upon them, and In the absence OF all PROOF
OF murder or attempt at murder the Illicit love Tor
another man would, if proven, furnish no motive
for murder and IN view OF the walters subsequent
withdrawal and explanation OF his testimony su'i
an Illicit connection Is not proven.
That the Judge laid down TO the jury as first prn-
cipe Of proof. that it necessary TO verdict un
favorable TO the prisoner that Mr.. Maybrck died OF
arsenic that at they thought he died OF some OTHER
disease the case made out against the prisoner
IL could not be made out. II there was posi-
bility OF doubt they ought to acquit the prisoner
tat the Home Secretary reviewing the case ten Gays
after the verdict; proclaimed that there reason
able doub: whether NJ Maybrck's death was in fact
caused bv the administration OF arsenic;7 tat there
fore the highest legal auth GRITTY in England has c,-
tab ished the premises Of which Mrs. Maybricks
quittal Is the only logical and legal conclusion.
That in dealing with the expert testimony, which
bore heavily against the possibility Of death by arsenic.
the Judge introduced principle new 10 English law
and charged the jury. You mast not consider the
case a mere medical case IN which yoa to decide
whether did did not die Of arsenic according
10 the medical evidence. or as a mere chemical case
I'm which vCu decide whether the died from arsenic
as the result Of chemical analysis but great and
highly important involving in Itself most highly
important moral question questions into which human
nature enters and in which you must rely your

and scandal that question OF life and DEATH too In

kuow all that is known on the subject should be re-
mitted 10 Tie ignorance OF those who know Nothing;
that IL Is an unheard grief and scandal, and
to life and liberty, that jury OF three pluuoers. two

and one baker. who. however honest and intelligent,
