MRS. MAVERICK IS HERE.
ARRIVES IN NEW YORK ON THE
STEAMER vADERLAND.
Entered on Passenger List as Mrs Rose
ingraham to Escape Annoy
ing Observation.

New York, Aug. 23.-On board the.
hed Star line steamer Vadcrland, which
arrived today from Antwerp was Mrs.
Florence Chanler Maybrick, recently re-
leased from prison in England.
Mrs. Maybrick was entered on the pas.
senger list as Mrs. Rose Ingraham, o.
na1he which she took from her grand
pa ID, Inns was not designed to eyade
official inquiry, but merely to avoid an
noylnS observation on the part of fellow
passengers. ,"
ME she made no secret of her pres.
ence on board and appeared frequently
ABOUT the decks and saloon. verv few
were aware of her identity. She is ac-
companled by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel V.
hayden. Mr.. Hayden is her attorney.
MIS-: Maybrick refused to be inter
viewed, but gave out the following state
ment: '7 ''"'e

press at this time as I should like. To,
them and to my fellow country men and

While it is generally, but rather vague
~, known that her husband was q very
rich man and that a large part of his
fortune was invested in American enter
pr!ses the present state of Mrs May
bricks fortunes is hardly known to her
SELL. All depends ON the outcome of y
number of suits now pending. There is
one great property in West Virginia to.
which she holds the title. but it is liter
any loaded down with claims and suits.
IL VIII be many months before she finds
out her real financial status.
While all references made to this won1
an OF many sorrows indicate that She
moved in the best English society her
past attractions and accomplishments
have not often been dwelt upon. For
example, it is not generally known that
she was singer of reputation and
composer of no mean talent before the
charge of murder was made against her.
Her brother-in-law, Michael Maybrick
!Stephen Adams, frequently had her aid
IN the composing of his famous songs.
Indeed, the most widely popular song Of
recent years THE Holy City was first
sung by Mrs. Maybrick on board her
husbands yacht, where the author was
a guest when the composition was made.
Here in this country Mrs. Maybriek
seems to have only friends Every de-
tail of evidence against her has been
thrashed out over and over again, and
the universal conclusion among those
who have taken an active part in secur-
ing her pardon is that she is the victim
Of terrible miscarriage of justice
