proving.
LONDON, Dec. Baroness de Rogue,
mother of Mrs Maybrick, states to-day
that her daughters health is improving.
The Exchange Telegraph Company also
says that Mrs. May brick is recovering,
adding that the hemorrhages with
which she was recently attacked, and
which caused the reports that she was
in dying condition, were caused by
herself and not by the ravagcs Of con-
sumption. According to some f tho
newspapers here tho reported illness of
Mrs. Maybrick was nothing less than an
attempt on her part to create public
sympathy for herself and to induce Mr.
Aisquith, the home secretary, TO release
her from confinement.
The st. James Gazette to day prints
an article on Mrs. Maybgic!. and con
graduates the public on tho non success
Of the ingenious attempt t. regain hor
freed IN. The Gazette dcclarcs that her
illness was caused by hoc Swallowing q
nun ber OF needles that she had secreted
from time to time. These needles pro-
ducod an eirusion Of blood and other
symptoms OF lung trouble. and the re-
port was at once circulated that she was
dying from lung trouble.
