Jim Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons

'act is settled. Corbett has come out
1atly and says he will not fight Lanky

old enemy is best told in his own
words. Here is what he has to say
on the subject in the New York Jour
nal:
"Fitzsimmons is an old man. He says
himself that old age has overtaken him.
that his muscles are stiff, his hands

Now that statement kills all chance

Tor me to fight man with all the evil

Corbett added that whatever chance
there was for n meeting between him
self and F'itzsimmons had been wiped
out by Fitzsimmon's announcement that
he was an old man and practically ont

London. March T-Recent attempts to
secure the release of Mrs. Maybrick have
aroused a new interest in the case. which
may lead King Edward VII to pardon her
before the end OF the year. The patience
with which she bears her Imprisonment
seems to have won a degree of sympathy
from even those who lent their, aid to her
prosecution. The c;rcumstantiaI evidence is
being taken up again and her chances OF
being pardoned are more favorable than at
any time since her imprisonment.
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the wife OF Mr..
James Maybrick. prominent merchant OF
Liverpool, was arrested in the year 1889 up
on-the charge of causing the death OF her
She was tried and found guilty and con-
demned to death. This was afterwards

largely due to the fact that she was con-

how far this intrigue went did not clearly
appear in the record of the case.
However, no suggestion Of marriage in
the event Of her divorce or Mr.. Maybricks
death ever passed between them, as far as
was known. 1t Is evident that-Nr. May

pears he was not aware of all the facts.
HAD VIOLENT QUARREL.
Toward the end of March, 1889, a violent
quarrel took place between Mr.. and Mrs.
Maybrick. apparently arising from the rela-
lions of Mrs. Maybrick with Mr.. Brierley.
Mr.. Maybrick beat his wife. backing her
eye, and she threatened to leave the house.
She Immediately consulted a lawyer, with
a view to a separation. Through the inter-
vention Of Doctor Hopper. the family physi-
clan. they were reconciled and there was no
subsequent quarrel. Mr.. Maybrick, however,
instituted inquiries as to her relations with
Mr.. Brierley, which alarmed both Of them,
and continued to distrust his wife.
For years Mr.. Maybrick had been suffer-
ing from dyspepsia, he compla lining of a
constant headache and numbness of the
limbs. He also complained of a foul tongue.

doubtedly included. 1t has been said by
some that he was an habitual arsenic eater.
On April IA. 1889. Mr. Maybrick consulted
Doctor Fuller in London. and the result of
his examination seems to have proved that
no poisoning process had then begun. About

SUSPECTED OF POISONING.
On the morning of April IS Mr.. Maybrick
became suddenly i'll and vomited, complain
ing of pain and distress about the heart
Mrs, Maybrick gave him an emetic of mus
tard and water and sent for Doctor Hum
phreys, the nearest physician.
Mr. Maybrck was again able to go to
his office and continued to do so until May
8. On May Mr. Maybrick's illness assumed
serious aspect, and Doctor Carter. who
was called in. was of the opinion that a
fatal dose of arsenic had been given to
him the day before.
On May I. Doctor Humphreys had no sus-
picion of poisoning, and Mrs. Maybrick in
sisted on calling another doctor. A nurse
was called in. and from that time on Mrs.
Maybrick had no opportunity to be alone
with her husband.
1t was charged, however. that while her
she took a bottle OF meat juice from his
room into hers and was seen to do SO by
nurse 1t was set up at the trial that
she had endeavored to conceal her motions
and had poisoned this bottle of meat juice
