CASE ENDED
Celebrated Because Two Con-
tinentS Were Interested.
: SENTENCED TO DEATH
Has Been in Prison Since
1009---At Last Free.

London, March 23.-Mrs. Florence May
brick, the American woman who was con-
victed at Liverpool in 1883 on the charge
OF poisoning her husband, James May
brick, by arsenic, and whose sentence Of
death was committed to penal servitude
for life, will be released in 1904 The an
nouncement comes from the home office,
which authorizes her Washington lawyers
TO use the fact of her release next year
as the reason for securing the postpone
ment of the trial Of the lawsuits bear
ing on the prisoners interest in land in
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia
Those who are in a position to know
say that Home Secretary Akers Doug
las has shown great courtesy in connec-
tiOn with the suits now pending in Amer
ica; that the decision to release Mrs.
Maybrick was entirely due to his efforts
on this side OF the Atlantic, and that
Ambassador Herbert has never been
called upon TO act in this matter
Mrs. MayErock. who was Miss Florence
Elizabeth Chandler and a member of
well known ana prosperous southern fam
fly. was married July q, 1881, in st. James
church. Picadilly, to James Maybrick of
Liverpool. She was then IS years old,
vivacious and beautiful and a social fav-
Old. In the spring of 1859 Mr.. Maybrick
became i'll and in few days he died. His
brothers investigated his death and
charged Mrs. Maybrick with the murder
OF her husband. A long trial followed
and a number of doctors Swore Mr.. May
brick died of arsenical poisoning. The de-
tense proved that for twenty years Mr..
MaybTick had been a confirmed arsenic
eater and that he daily took doses that
would have killed ordinary men. Mrs
Maybrick was eventually sentenced to
death by the judge. Sir FitZjames Ste
phen. who spoke for two days in charg-
ing the jury and who said 1t was lmpoS-
sible for them to find her guilty in the
face Of the medical evidence. He died
some time later in a mad house. After
Mrs. Naybrick's conviction. her mother,
the Baroness Roques, has been unremit-
ting in her attempt to obtain the pris-
oner's release. in which she has been
aided by influential friends on both sides
of the Atlantic. In 1900 after the death
of Lord Russell of KillOwen, chief justice
of England. a letter was received written
TO Mrs. Maybrick in 1895, which showed
that the eminent lawyer was convinced
that she ought never to have been con-
victed, and it has been generally under
stood that all the recent American am
bassadors to the court of St. James have
done everything possible to obtain Mrs
Maybrick's pardon. Had she not been
able to testify in the suits pending in
the suits pending in the United States,
Mrs. Maybrick and her mother would
have lost all title and interest in large
tracts Of land situated in Kentucky, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
Washington, March 23.-AIrs. Maybricks
attorneys in this city received cable
gram from the American embassy in Lon
don this afternoon, confirming the news
of her forthcoming release and adding

answer questions put by that body as to
where and for what purpose they came
into possession of 81 900 each, were re-
leased by the supreme court today on
writ of habeas corpus. The investigation
in the house grew out of charges of brib

certain legislation. Page and Hickox,
who refused to answer questions put by
the investigating committee, were sent

piled for last week and today, after brief
arguments, Chief Justice Robinson and
Justice Gaunt ordered the release of the
prisoners without retiring for consulta-
Ion. Judge Robinson stated that there
was some conflict in authority regarding
---4ueas corpus in this case, but that the
great weight of authority appeared to
the court to protect a witness and to
Judge for himself as what instructions
should or should not answer. In dis
charging the prisoners the court held that
they could stand on their constitutional
rights and protect themselves.
Before the legislature adjourned sine

Cole county circuit court convened the
grand jury in special session to investi-
gate the charges of boodling which have
been openly made against the legislature.

BURSTING BOILER
THUNOERS A KhELL
Three Men Killed at Shore
and Moser's Mill.
ANOTHER MAN INJURED
Shore, One OF the Owne S Of the Mill, Among
the Dead---George's Head Severed From
His Body...Logan Scalded 10
Death.

Winston-Salem, \. c., April 21.-The
boiler at the saw mill Of Shore and Moser,
near B~ethania, exploded this morning re
eulting in the death of three men and the
injury of another. The dead are:
GID T.. SHORE, one of the owners of
the mill.
LUTHER GEORGE and WILLIAM
LOGAN, employees.
Messrs. Shore and Logan were married
and both leave wives and several child
rem. Mr.. George was a young single man.
Mr.. Samuel Moser, one of the owners of
the mill, was hurt, but his injuries are
not considered serious.
The explosion was caused, it is thought,
by the engineer and fireman allowing the
water to go too low in the boiler.
Al man who visited the scene this af-
ternOon says that Mr.. George was load
ing lumber when the explosion occurred.
The pressure threw him against a cutoff
saw and a piece of the boiler struck his
neck, cutting off his head and throwing
it up on a pile of lumber several feet
away.
Mr.. Shore was standing at one end of
the mill. He was killed by a pile of
lumber falling on him. Mr.. Logan was
SCALED to death.
The main part of the boiler was blown
800 feet; one piece was found a quarter
of a mile away.

~ although the law does not think the
-, old enough to take the responsibility
of marriage. although she may not con-
con, 10 marry without the permission OF
her guardian. YET the law thinks her old
.nough 10 give fun and free consent TO
her ruin. and toe law supposes that she
i perfectly aware Of the step she taxes
and It's awful consequences. And yet
there are men-and a startling number OF
them-who defend this. And on what
grounds? One reason given is that
plenty OF girls at Il know what they
ara doing and are as we'll developed at
Il as others at Is. Here, then. * an ar
r,,ment which virtually says that be-
cause SOME girls are physically and
mentally precocious and may be eVllly
inclined, therefore the laws must be so
framed that ALL girls must be left I'M
nrotected-that ALL girls must be left
omen to the wiles of men stronger than
rhev in will power, knowledge, and infiu-
ence. and may be enticed before they
CAN know the full consequences OF such
q step. TO fall into evil ways-and the
man go free I can imagine the shouts
OF applause and the geeful laughter
that would greet such an in
lust one place-in the corridors OF He'll!
Another argument advanced Is that
some designing little girls would bring
false charges against men. There might
be very rare instances of this, but Sc
riously doubt if the argument Is worthy
Of serious consideration To keep some
man from having a false charge brought
against him by one Of those '~designing
little girls" the law must be so arranged
that ALL MEN may entice ALL GIRLS,
from Il up, to their ruin, This was the
plea used by Col. William c. 2. Breck-
cnridge, of Kentucky, when he had sin
fully entered into an unholy alliance with
a sinful woman. He said that the women
had led him aStray. One of the neWSpa-
pcrs of the day hit off the absurdity and
hypocrisy Of the plea by having the pic
ture of poor little Willie" with a chain
attached to him, being led meekly along
by this young woman. Probably the
truest argument brought for this state
of things was by a New York law
yer who said that if the age of consent
were raised it would make it too hard on
the men,
If one of these "~designing little girls"
