faded away. Always nomc apparently
logical reason waH given for tho rcJcc-
tion. but We. who knew the inside
workings Of the case. were not de-
ccivcd.
To the end Of his iifc tho fate OF
Mrs. Mnybrick occupied Lord Rus
sells thoughts. and hc never ceased,
either privately or oficiniiy. aA tho
opportunity occurred. to say that thcro
had been a grave miscarriage OF Jus
ticc.
do not think these important
opinions Of tho lord chief justice OF
England are ut NIL known to tho
American public. I am sure their i'm
portance will be recognized Ms proof
OF the innocence Of this most unhappy
victim. Of judicial error.
Lord Russell was not n man to do
anything against his conscience, or
faith, and In his position he was not
called upon to follow up his clients
case with appeals for release. for over
ten years, us he did.
was honored with Lord RusseIl.s
confidence. and know that he belicv-
cd Mrs. Maybrick to be innocent and
n much injured woman, that there be-
ing no court OF criminal appeal in
England was n great obstacle to her
vindication. and that the desire not
to admit judicial error was predomi-
mating in the legal circles.
For some time. since Lord Russelrs
death left us with one less good
friend. our own countryman, Mr..
Choate, the United States ambassador
in England. has been unfailing in his
assistance.
A short time ago he made an appeal
to the British home secretary, Mr..
Akers-Douglas. for the release of my
daughter. SO that she might appear in
America in the lawsuits that are
pending for our family estates. And
now. thanks to him and to our law
yers. the release long waited for is
assured.
The MedicoLegal society of New
York did most extraordinary work
few days since. They brought out
splendid memorial, with signatures OF
the most honored of our legal and
ability all united In this cause.
But my daughter and myself have
been most thankful for the goodness
of the American women. Beginning
with Mrs. Blaine. the wife Of our then
secretary Of state. and glorious Gall
Hamilton, Mrs. Helen Densmore, with
her wonderful pen. the women Of the
Medico-Legal society. the women of
the different press associations, and
so many others from all parts of the
world, letters having come to me all
these years from women whose names
perhaps, l should not mention. They
have warmed our stricken hearts and.
in fact, given us the strength to live
on these terrible years.
We will be thankful to return to our
own dear country and will never cease
to wonder how we were ever SO blind
as to leave America.

II seems almost inconccIvabic that
after these terrible years since my
daughters conviction and imprison.
mcnt. tho timc should bc no near
when she IL to be released and allow.
cd to go her own way. Hut the re-
port is really true. II has been well
authenticated. for tho announcement
comes from tho home ONCE. which
now authorizes our Washington law
yers TO use the fact OF my daughters
release next year rs n reason for
securing the postponcmcnt OF the trial
of the lawsuits bcarin: on our inter
est In the land In Kentucky. Virginia.
and West Virginia until she Is able
to personally testify.
When in 1889 my poor child's trial
closed with the sentence Guilty Of
the murder by arsenic poisoning Of
her husband. James Maybrick." such
n storm OF Indignation arose from
English and American alike that
there IVES no doubt as to the general
opinion.
That n young woman. scarcely more
than n girl. should be accused OF that
crime on such meager evidence as was
forthcoming was almost incredible.
It was n well.establishcd fact that
MIR. Maybrick was an arsenic field and
took the drug in his food.
It appeared also on the trial that
Maybrick was always dosing himself
with medicines for stomach trouble
and taking double doses of whatever
T,,t, nl,x.l ,,.tt
nesses testified that they had seen
Maybrick buy arsenic and take 1t, in
powders and in solution.
Proof of my daughters guilt was
never made public. She was accused
of numbering her husband and tried
on that charge. Because traces Of
arsenic were found in his stomach the
court assumed, though 1t was never
proven, that he died OF arsenic poison
ing.
Many great lawyers have exerted
their efforts toward her release, and
time and again 1t seemed certain. The
late chief Justice of England, Lord
Russell Of Killowen. was our most
steadfast friend. After certain repre-
sentations had been effectively made
to the authorities he would assure me
that my daughter would be freed.
But each time, when almost grasp
ing relief, when the clouds seemed to
be breaking away, we have been turn
ed aside. And to add to our distress,
even when under the laws of Eng
land release was possibility, some
unknown and untiring enemy has
thrown out, through the English press,
some invention OF scandalous ma
ture calculated to prejudice the pub
lie and frighten away clemency.
We seemed powerless to cope
against these invisible foes who were
so persistent In frustrating us.
But through all the discouraging
failures the public sympathy and be-
lief in my daughters innocence re-
manned firm.
Chief Justice Russell held n decided
opinion on the case. After my unhap-
py daughters conviction, his lordship
with characteristic persistency as:
sailed home secretary after home sec
retary. seeking as 1t were, to carry
his former clients freedom by storm
ing the positions of those who kept
the key of her prison house. To Sir
Matthew White Riley he wrote: "lf
called upon to advise in my character
of head of the criminal judicature of
this country | should advise you that
Florence Maybrick should go free"
But all this good mans work did not
avail against the secret working of
our unknown enemy, Our aim seem
