The May brick case is of special interest
just now. in view OF the many efforts which
are being made in her behalf and which
have as their prime factors the head, the
heart and the hands of Gail Hamilton, the
sister-in-lsw Of ex-Secretary James @.
Blaine. The murder OF her husband,
James Maybrick, of which she was con-
victed, occurred in Liverpool May II. 1889
He was q rich cotton merchant, and had
married his American wife eight years be-
fore. At the trial. of which full details were
published throughout the civilized world,
the relations of Mrs. Maybrick TO 8 Mr.
Brierly furnished the motive for the crime.
Those who were present when the jury,
after little more thsn half an hours de-
liberation, returned verdict of guilty, say
that the pallid face of the CONVICTED woman
had in IL q look almost OF divinity. AS the
word guilty" was spoken she fell forward
as If struck by a dag ger. She clutched the
rail of the dock IN front of her; she arose
and broke the awful silence of that court
room with the words, plesdiugly uttered ::
My Lord, everything has been against
me. / wish TO say that although evidence
has been given as 70 q great many circum-
stances in connection with Mr.. Brierly,
much has been withheld which might have
influenced the jury had it been told. l am

murder Of General W. s. Ketchum, of the
United States army. Mrs. Wharton was s
