THE MAVERICK CASE.
Statement RIA. tiv Unfortunate Wo,
man Will Soon be Released.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Mrs. Helen Dens,
more CT California and London is here
with her husband, DIR. Emmett Dens,
more. She has been actively engaged
in Mrs. Florence Maybrick's behalf for
four years, and Cor the first time she
expresses hope that the unfortunate wo.
man will soon be at liberty. In addition
TO the statement given by Mrs. Dens.
mere, John S. Smellings Of Australia,
who has been in London for two years,
says that it will be but two months unit,
Mrs. Maybrick is a free woman.
They declare that Lord Chief Justice
Russell Of England. who has long been
connected with the Maybrick case, is
now in favor OF the pardon. Mr.. and
Mrs. Densmore came directly from Lon,
don.
AT present | would much rather not
talk about the word-famous Maybrick
case" said Mrs. Densmore. but | will,
say that it is but a matter OF weeks un-
til this poor woman is free. Lord Rus.
sell has again taken up the case and he
is using all his influence in behalf o,
Mrs. Maybrick. The petition signed by
100000 persons had no influence on the
English courts at all, but now we have
not only the leading citizens. but the
main officials on our side. | feel sure
that she will loon be free.
"Mrs. Maybrick is in deplorable con.
dition. Her health is almost gone, and
IL she is confined in that terrible prison
another six months it will mean her
death. The English people understand
this and they do not want an American
woman to die behind English bars.
While Mrs. Maybrick has been before
the public for years and sympathy has
about died GU in this country. it has
increased in England. There are not
a thousand persons in England today
who do not want to see this poor We
man free. The feeling has grown to
such an extent that 1t means she will be
%pardoned."
Mrs. Densmore and her husband will
leave for California today and eturn to
England in about six weeks.

Governor Francis, of Missouri,
who is i'll position to know whereof
he speaks, paid tribute to the local
newspapers at u recent business con-
vention as follows:
Each year the local N5wspaper
gives from $500 to $4,000 in free
lines to the comm entity in which it is
located. No other agency can or will
do this. The editor, in proportion to
his means, does more for his town
than any other ten men; and in all
fairness with men he ought to be sup
ported not because you like him or
hts writing, but because the local pa
per is the best investment communi-
ty can make. 1t may not be bril-
Iiantly edited or crowded with thought
nut financially 1t is of more benefit TO
the community than the teacher or
the preacher. Understand me, don't
mean mentally or msrally, but finan-
cially, and yet ON the moral question
you will find most of the local papers
on the right side. To-day the edi.
tors Of the nome papers do the most
for the least money Of any people on
