London, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Maybrick
is serving out the last few mouths
of her life sentence for the killing
of her husband, in the quiet coun-
try home of the Sisters of the E.
piphany at Eruro, Cornwall, under
an assumed name and with her
identity completely hidden, She is
guarded from communication with
the outside world as jealously as if
she were still 10 Ayelsbury prison.
Though the fresh Cornwall air is
bringing the color back to her cheeks
the strain of her fourteen years of
confinement, commencing with the
imposition of the death sentence,
passed under the severe, discipline
Of various prisons, is the only out
ward sign she shows Of her ordeal.
Even the Sisters with whom she as
sociates and the servants have no
idea that she really is Mrs. May
brick. She wears an ordinary black
dress, with a white frill at her
throat. She occupies a pleasant,
simply furnished room in the home
and rises at 6 o'clock each morn
ing:
Though a free agent in many
ways, she is obliged to conform to
the strict discipline of the convent.
She takes her meals in silence and
and is not allowed to converse ex.
cept on religious subjects during
the day. At that time, when for an
interval the Sisters are permitted te
talk of mundane things, Mrs. May
brick retires to her own room. She
must be in bed by 9 o'clock. NJ
newspapers are allowed her, ane
only such books as are given hel
by the Sisters. At first newspaper
were surreptitiously supplied her
but it was discovered and sever,
reprimand followed.
During part of the day Mrs
Maybrick works in silence in tn,
sewing room with the Sisters, VIII,
make all their own clothing. Las
Sunday she attended services in tb
Truro cathedral, and she has beer
allowed to walk about the town &C
companied by one of the Sisters
Mrs. Maybrick is supposed to b
recovering from an attack of infu
enza and passes merely as one Q
the many visitors to the Sister
hood, who pay for their accommo
dation. She will remain in charg
of the Sisters until she is release,
next July, though before that time
when the weather improves, sh
will be removed probably to th
convalescent home, under the sam
management, which is located i
one of the widest spots on the Coz
nish coast.
In her present sanctuary Mr.
Maybrick appears to be happy b
comparison. The prison fare an
discipline is almost as complete q
: the perfect freedom of the larg.
s beautifully kept grounds surround
: ing the sisterhood building, whic
: overlooks.the sleepy-like cathedr,
: town of Truro, where the breeze
: sweep from the Cornish moors an
coast.
s Many members of the Englis
s aristocracy are inmates of the hom
: : The Mother Superior of the Siste
!: hood is Hon. Miss Dalrympl
: while several other Sisters, unde
only their Christian nnmes, conces
well.knoWn patronymics.
s The Sisterhood of the Epiphan
: constantly receives within it's wal
: titled women who wish to find ten
{ porarily rest from the world in
: religious retreat, and hence Mr.
s Maybrick's arrival caused no con
s ment. She was driven from tt
: : Truro railway station to the HON
: in Miss Dalrymple's private carriae
: and remained in strict incognito fl
nearly a fortnight. The sActin
s Mother Superior is one of the fe
: who know of the identity of the VII
: itor, and che guards her from all il
: terviews and vigilance worthy a
: old time abbess. This Sister abs,
{ lutely refused to convey..a letter or
{ message to Mrs. Maybrick from

Press.
