lord chief justice is said to believe her
innocent. So do many eminent Eng.
lshmen, and tens of thousands of AM
erlcans. Why has she not had A Sc
coma trial if innocent? She has suf-
Iered ten times more than Dreyfus

press and public opinion of her conn

FROM the point Of view of Mrs. Nav
brick, and her friends, Mr.. Dayitt de-
serves commendation,- ef~eeurse, for re-
neWlng the agitation for the miserable
Woman's release. But it is a little
tar-fetched to try to institute a paral-
lei between her case and that of Can't.
Dreyfus. Mrs. Maybrick was tried in
open court before an eminently fair
and intelligent jury. Her defending
counsel was Mr.. Davitt's brilliant feI.
low countryman, Charles Russell (the
present lord chief JUSTICE, who left no
effort untried to break the chain of
clrcumstantial evidence that had been
forged by the government. Russell
would have got disagreement or per-

evidence of Alice Yapp, the nurse girl
in the Maybrick household, who hand
ed over to the authorities a letter from
Mrs. Maybriek to a fellow naraed Rri-.

which she besought him to put off his
trip to America for awhile, "as he cher

been sent by her mistress to mail at
the post Office, but which, instead of
mailing, she inquisitively opened and
then gave to Mr. Maybrick's brother)

concerning her relations with Briefly,
which the detectives brought to light,
that settled Mrs. Maybrick's case with
the jury. Inc discovery OF InOSe re-
lations strengthened the government
case to the point of conviction. Had
they remained unknown Mrs. May
brick would probably have been acquit-
ted, for there was no other apparent
motive or reason strong enough to con-
vince jury, why she, the mother of
interesting and affectionate children,
and the mistress of a prosperous and
happy home, should, in so diabolical a
way, deprive her husband of his exist
