The beautiful sorceress so justly con-
demned to death, and now convict for
life, will, sad to say, never have another
opportunity for more mischief. Reprieved
from the gallows at the last moment by the
queen at the intercession of Home Secre-

sold out line of dividend-paying railway
stock, the proceeds of which he gave to his
charmer on the nuptial night. Soon after
this the two women became hopelessly in

travagauccs. Maybrick was the next vic-
