HER IDENTITY IS HIDDEN
Even the Sisters Do Not Know Who She Is.
Supposed to Be Recovering from an Attack of Influenza and Passes as One Who Pays for Ac-
 commodation.

London, Feb. e.--Afrs. Maybrick is serv- ing. out, the last, few months of her life sentence for the killing of her husband in the quiet country home Of the slssexH of the Epiphany at Truro, Cornwall un- der an assumed name and her identitNsts |completely hidden.
 She is guarded from communication with the outside world as jealously aa if she were still in Aylesbury prison. Thnugi1 the fresh Cornwall air as bringing the color back to her cheeks, the strain of her fourteen years of confinement. som mencing with the imposition of the Heath sentence, passed under the severe 4iscip- line of various prisons, is sfill evident in her careworn look. This, however. ist tlsa only outward sign she shows of Sler or | deal.
 Even the sisters with whom she assoz ciates and the servants have no Hden that she really is Mrs. Maybrick. She weax1 an ordinary black dress with white 8rlIE at her throat. She occupies a pleasant, simply furnished room in her home and rises at 6 o'clock each morning.
 Conforms to Discipline.
 Though free agent in many ways she Is obliged to conform to the i,trict discip- line of the convent. She takes her meals in silence and Is not allowed to converse except upon religious topics during tho day At tea time when for s.n interval the sisters are permitted to talk of mundane things Mrs. Maybrick retiFes to her own room. She must be in bed by 9 o'clock. No newspapers are allowed her and only such books as are given her by the sis- ters. At first newspapers were sufrepti- tiously supplied her but this was discov- cred and severe reprimaSd followed.
 During part of the day Mrs. MaybriciE works in silence in tho sewing room with the sisters who make all their own cloths ing. Last Sunday she attended service in the Truro cathedral ana was allowed ta walk about the town acceFppanfsd bx one of the sisters. Mrs. MayhFiek 6 Suns posed to De recovering from an attack nk inanenza and pa$se@ merely na ono of many ylsitufs 0f ghs Sfsterhood who pay for their mtabdakiahs. 9hA will re main in charge Sf The Sisters until ahh Y releaaed next July though prior to that time when the weather improves she will he removed probably to the convalescRnk home under the same management which Ia located in one of the widest spots on the Cornish coast.
 Appears to Be Happy.
 Tn her present sanctuary Mrs. May~ brick appears to be happy by compari- son. The change from the prison fare and discipline is almost as ceuniete as the perfect freedom of the larss peau- tifully kept grounds surrounding the slsr terhood building, which overlOoks the sleepy little cathedral town of Truro, where the breezes sweep from the Cor- nish moors and coast
 Many members of the English ariskoc- racy are inmates of the home. The Mother Superior of the Sisterhood is the Hon. Miss Dalrymple. while several oth- CT sisters under only their Christian names conceal well known patronmyics.
 The ssterhood of the Epiphany con stantly receives within it's walls titled women who wish to find a temporary rest from the world in religious re- treat and hence Mrs. Maybrick's arrival caused no comment. She was driven from the Truro Railway station to the home in Miss Dalyrmple's private carriage and remained in strict incognito for nearly a fortnight. The acting mother superiox Is one of the few who know of the iden~ tity of the visitor and she guards her from all interviews with a vigilance worthy an old time abbess.
 Refused to Deliver Letter.
 This sister absolutely refused to convey letter or a message to Mrs. Maybrick from the representative of the Associated Press. A rescue home for fallen girls and laundry for their employment is carried on in connection with the Epi- phany convent. Until now the sisters who know of Mrs. Maybrick's Identity have evaded inquiries regarding her, say ing that she was not in the rescue home which is quite correct, as Mrs Maybrick has nothing to do with this department of the convent
 Mrs. Maybrick's somewhat anonmoIous status was explained as follows to the Associated Press representative by one of the chief officials of the Epiphany ore der:
 Mrs. Maybrick is still a prisoner and has not even been released on ticket Of leave. Those in charge of her are prac- tically her jailers and all communica- ton with her is forbidden except through the Home Secretary
 These appear to be textually the offi- cial instructions which accompanied Mrs Maybrick on her departure from tho Aylesbury prison. No prison warden is with Mrs. Maybrick. the sisters being implicitly entrusted with her safe keep ing, which fact is generally regarded as constituting an unprecedented indulgence to a prisoner.
 The Baroness de Roques will, it is ex- pected, come to Truro later in order that she may be near her daughter.
