Mrs. Maybrick's Case.
A statement was recently printed in some
American papers to the effect that the real
reason why Mrs. Florence Maybrck has
not been released is owing to the personal
opposition of Queen Victoria. Her majesty
was reported to have asked for a copy of
the evidence, and that because it contained
allegations of an intrigue with a lover the
queen intimated to Mr.. Henry Asquth
home secretary in the Rosebery govern
ment, and latterly to Sir Matthew White
Ridley, the present home secretary, that un-
Ger no circumstances would she receive or
consider a memorial in favor Of the release
of Mrs. Maybrick.
At the request of Baroness Roques Mrs
Maybrick's mother, a representative of the
Associated Press has investigated the story
and is able, on the highest official author
fty possible, to state that the story has alb
solutely foundation in fact. Not only
has her majesty never intimated any wishes
in the matter, nor requested any copy of
the evidence, but she has never expressed
officially, any opinion in the case to any
home secretary, with whose action if it
was decided to release Mrs. Maybrick, her
majesty would not interfere
The printing of such so-called idle tales
it Is considered here always marks the
periods of election struggles in the United
States, though why Mrs. Maybrick should
always be brought up at such times pre-
cisely like political issues, English officials
cannot understand. But what thew do
maintain is that if Mrs. Maybricks friends
are really anxious to influence the home of
campaign in America, which is not meth
Oh of agitation favored by English govern
ment officials.
