OUTLOOK FOR FREEDOM
FOR MRS. MAVERICK

London, March. 24.-The home Of
fee officially announces that Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, who in 1889 was
convicted of poisoning her husband,
James Maybrick, will be released in
1904. Mrs. Maybrick's Washington
lawyers are authorized to use the facts
of her release for securing the post
ponement of the trial of Il number of
lawsuits in which she is interested
over certain land rights in Kentucky,
Virginia and West Virginia, until she
can personally testify.
Mrs. Maybrick was sentenced to
death originally for the murder by
poison of her husband. Her sentence
was commutsd to life Imprisonment,
and ever since the verdict was rem
dered have efforts been made to have
it reversed. The testimony was cir
cumstantial. but liaison with an
other man was part of the accusation.
Home secretaries of both Liberal and
Conservative parties in England have
been appealed to for her release. but
none of them could see that she should
be released. Queen Victoria is also
said to have been against a pardon.

no love for him, but did love Pennell
whom she expected to marry. He had
wife, but he expected that they
would be divorced. In reply to a ques-
ton as to whether Mrs. Pennell had
consented to a divorce she said: Some
times she did not"
Witness admitted, however, that she
had never talked with Mrs. Pennell
on the subject. Her husband sent her
away in May, 1901, on account of
Pennell. Coatsworth showed her let
ter written by her from Atlantic City.
May %, 1901, in which she begged
to be taken back. promising never to
see Arthur" and that she would be
a loving and true wife. She admitted
writing the letter second letter
written by Mrs. Burdick to her hus-
band, the same year, was read In
WHICH she spoke of having received
Burdick's letter, and said that Pen
nell had not promised TO leave town
if Burdick took her back; that she
and Pennell declined to Go anything
that would mean loss of his self
respect.
Another letter written by Mrs. Bur
dick to her husband referred to her
being taken back homo. She prom
ised never again TO voluntarily see or
communicate with arthur" She
made a plea on behalf of the chill
dren. She promised to be n good
girr' to him. Mrs Burdick admitted
she wrote the letter and said it was
in good faith, but that she did not
keep her promise. On one occasion
Burdick wrote her that she could not
be trusted. He said that if she loved
Pennell as she said she did he did not
blame her for what she did; that if
he love a woman as she did Pennell
he would do as she was doing.
He referred to the fact that Mrs.
Burdick was wearing n ring given to
her by PenneIl over her lawful we'd
ding ring. In another letter Burdicl
wrote that he forgave his wife the
wrong she had done him. In another
Burdick declared he had determined
to fight for the little honor she had
left him. and after getting a divorce
to fight for the children. He would
insist on the counter-suit by Mrs. Bur-
dick being fought out in open court.
Three weeks after this letter Mrs Bur-
dick was taken back by her husband.
After returning from Atlantic City
and after promising her husband to be
a good wife she met Pennell. 1t was
not her habit to meet him, she said,
but he was constantly begging her
to do so, and she did meet him in a
house on Seventh street. She was
there one time when Burdick came.
but he did not see her, as she stepped
out of the window and went to
church Later she first denied and
then admitted meeting Pennell in an
other house on Seventh street.

CLAIM CUBANS WERE
BENT ON MURDER
Wanted to Kill Gen. Bragg, So the
Police of Fond du Lac
Think.

Fond du Lac, Wis, March 24.-Two
Cubans registered at a local hotel
Sunday as L. Alvarez and b. Rodri-
guez, and announced that they had
come from Cuba to find General E. S.
Bragg, who was formerly consul gen
eral at Havana and who was reno ted
and sent to Hong Kong because of a
remark that it was like trying to make
a whistle out of a pigs tail to civilize
the Cubans They did not appear TO
be bent on a peaceful motive, and the
police officials were notified.
1t appears to have escaped the no.
tice of the Cubans that General Bragg
had already departed for the Orient,
and was no longer to be found in Fond
du Lac. 1t was believe by the friends
of General Bragg that the Cubans had
come to Fond du Lac to kill General
Bragg because of his structures on their
race. The police gave them notice to
move on, which they did.

ognize it as PennelPs handwriting?
"Yes,'' whispered Mrs. Burdick.
"And you recall the incident now?'
"Yes, sir"
Mrs Burdick in recalling the Incl
dent confessed that Pennell went into
a doorway, drew her in, took her in
his arms and kissed her. She thought
she demonstrated. She did not re-
member that Pennell was at the
Shelter island in September, 1900. nor
a letter from him in which he wrote
that he had found her gloves in the
pocket of his Tuxedo. The letter was
handed her. She read it hastily and
did not appear to enjoy its contents.
1t was written by Pennell, she said,
but she did NOT remember having seen
it before.
Mrs. Burdick was questioned at some
length relative to the meaning of Il.
=, 3D. referred to in a letter from
Pennell. in which he said: Il will
meet you at 1, 3 3, Wednesday morn
ing" but Mrs Burdick answered that
she did not know There We're two or
three houses, she said, at which she
used to meet him. Coatsworth pro-
duced another letter postmarked New
Haven, Sept. 10, 1900. Mrs. Burdick
said she recalled receiving it. Pen
nell wrote: Il shall try and comfort
myself by telephoning you from New
York. and on Thursday shall know the
exquisite happiness of seeing you"
He referred to her dear picture in
the locket" and declared her my love,
my life, my dearest own" COatsworth
produced another letter written from
New York Sept. 1S. 1900, addressed
to Mrs. Burdick. In this letter he
wrote: Il Just came from telephOn-
ing YOU and hearing your dear sweet
voice. Am I foolish to telephone you
from way down here? 1t was worth
all it cost me. 1 realize more and
more that you are the only woman in
the world for me-"

Without Committing a
Crime in PennsyI-
Vania
UNDER BLUE LAWS
Which Philadelphia is
About to Make a
Test of.

Philadelphia, March PA patriot
who believes he has the moral right
10 kiss his wife Sunday braved the
law and appeared before Magistrate
German as the prosecutor in test
case that may shatter the famous
act of 1894, that compels every aver
age citizen to become n criminal when
he walks in his garden in the good old
summer time.
This patriot is one Charles ]. Field.
The blue laws of 1894 have become
exceedingly obnoxious, and one Hon.
Billy Berkelback arose in his place in
the senate few weeks ago and in
troduced a repeater. Then there was
a howl. Berkelback beat hasty ra-
treat and the law stands. Under this
law no man is safe in Pennsylvania
during the "a hours beginning at sun
set Saturday. Here are some of the
provisions of the act of 1894:
Provisions of the Law.
There shall be no manner of work
performed on the Sabbath day, and
there shall be no bargaining. trading
suits during the period designated as
the Sabbath day.
The Sabbath day shall begin at
sundOwn Saturday.
No beast of burden. man servant or
maid servant shall be called upon to
do any manner of labor on the Sab
bath day.
No husband shall kiss his wife and
no mother shall kiss her child on the
Sabbath or any day of fasting.
No person shall undertake n jour
ney, travel. cook victuals. shave or
otherwise defile the Sabbath day by
other untoward conduct.
No one shall run on the Sabbath
day, or walk in his garden or else
where, except reverently to and from
his or her place of worship.
1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son to disturb the peace of the Sab
bath day by indulging in unworthy
and worldly conversation on the pub
lie roads on that day.
Strict Endorsements, Then Repeal
From the foregoing propositions of
the old law it will be readily under
stood why Patriot Field and his asso-
ciates insist that the law will be
strictly enforced or repealed. The ar
rest of the hired organists and choir
leaders in the ultra high churches of
the city Easter Sunday is the next
move threatened. All of the news
paper publishers, transportation
companies, newsdealers and BARRIERS
are to be arrested and if necessary
to popularize the law the policemen
and firemen viii be ARRESTED" along
with the mayor and the guards at the
United States mint. all of whom have
been detected in gross violations of
the act of 1894.

TROUBLE FOR THE BRITISH
Riot at Port of Spain, Trinidad, Is Furious
and Deadly.

Kingstown, st. Vincent, March "a.
"A serious riot was in progress at
230 p. M. yesterday in Port of Spain,
Trinidad, according to a dispatch just
received from that city. \ mob at
tempted to burn the government build
ings there, and the police had to fire
on the rioters, killed or wounding sew
eral of them. The British cruiser Pal
las at the time the dispatch left was
landing bluejackets. The rioting was
due to the refusal on the part of the
government to withdraw an ordinance
concerning the new waterworks, to
protest against which several public
meetings had been held.
A demonstration was made during
yesterdays meeting of the legislative
council, and finally the mob stoned
the government buildings and set fire
to it. The riot act was read and the
police fired on the mob. The city is
in a state of great excitement.

BRYAN Is THROUGH
WITH JURY SERVICE
Celebrates His Birthday BY Getting
or Duty-Made Fore
man.

Lincoln, Neb.. March 2f.-William
J. Bryan closed his services. as a juror
on his 43d birthday anniversary. Dur
ing last week he served on four cases,
all of them trivial except one. where
suit was brought against an insurance
company on u life policy.
AS the case developed it was shown
to be question of law and not of fact
and the court took the matter out of
the hands of the jury, directing YER
dict for the defendant and directing
Bryan, as foreman, to sign the verdict.
Bryan demurred, saying that the
jury should select its own foreman.
Judge Frost responded that he usually
took the liberty to name the foreman
in such cases. Bryan accepted the
place with smile.
