During the voyage across the channel
she remained secluded, but was an OBJ
ject OF much curiosity when she entered
the steamboat and when she landed
Mrs Osborne was in travelling attire.
She looked pale, but on the whole
seemed rather better physically Tor her
journey abroad. and 4 bystander at

her with courtesy, and she was under
no apparent restraint. She was at once
escorted TO the Dover train and brought

Since the fact became known that
Mrs Osborne intended to surrender III
order To save her husband from the loss
of his prospects in the army the current
of public opinion has set somewhat in
her favor. The charge Of obtaining on
false pretenses from the jewellers, Sphinx

to her for the iewelry which she stole
from Mrs. Hnrgreaves Is being pushed
against her by the citizens Of London.
