 Mrs. DEaybrick's Suit.
 Speaking of the suit brought against D. W. Armstrong by Mrs. Maybricl's mother. the Baroness de Roaues, Mir. Hayden said:
 Mrs. Maybrfck and her mother, the Baroness De Roques. are the parties tn interest, and the statement of Arm- strong. their former attorney ana agent, that Mrs. Maybrick's release was obtained by a trick perpetrated upon the English Government because her testimony was necessary in thfs litigation is unquaiiiediy false. UndeH the will of her grandfather. Darius Blake Helbrook. who was partner of Cyrus Field in laying the first Atlantic cable. and who was wealthy man o1 his day, one-half of his estate, Include ing 2,252.o80 acres of land in Virginia. West Virginia and Kentucky was left n Ra na t,. q of Mrs Maybrick for life. at her deatK to go to her issue or their descendants6
 Mrs. Maybrick is the only child of Baroness De Roques and the efxect of this will was to vest the fee in Mrat nfAypriek. the barolteas having on14 the right to enjoy it's profits durina life.
 Mrs. Maybrick ana her mothek executed deeds to one Groom, about 1887, at the instance of Armstrangf who was then their attorney, in ordeH that the title might be centered in som@ one to facilitate conveyancing. Undex this deed Mir. Armstrong sold to Mrf Roberts of New York a portion o4 the lands for about s100.000. This sai& was not reported to Mrs. Maybrick o2 her mother and only came to the. knowledge of my firm (Haydeh G Ar< relD within the past six months.
 inJCEmlSSlGn twenty minutes, while the Judge was. giving his instructions to the jury in Mrs. Maybrick's trial for the murdeus of her husband, six deeds were pre-' sented to her for her signature, six times in her own right and twelve times as guardian of her children = Mrs. Maybrick says her understandings was that the deeds conveyed small portion of her Kentucky lands
 a aThaanfiantIv vdaualnrn5ftho.. ..xe-. deeds confirming former deeds to Groom as well as conveying Kentucky lands. The consideration cited was S1. but she understood the consideration. was $20.000. of which her mother ana herself would receive s10,000. less tha, expenses and fee of J. s. Potter, who was acting under power of attorneyh from them.
 Printed After Signing.
 Just after Mrs. Maybrick had sign>, ed the deeds she fainted. She did nos read the deeds. she said. and was nos in a frame of mind to understand thenH had she done SO.
 The testimony of the officials of thef Kentucky Union Land Company now in the office of Messrs. Hayden & Yarrell.l shows that MT. Armstrong received $4s5,000 out of the transaction. It i@ said that s25.0o0 was received from ' Taylor Ellison of Richmond for an% other portion of land.
 About 5o0.0o0 acres of these lands in West Virginia were sold to other parties. All the lands have beeps transferred.
 The hope of Mrs. Maybrick and hex mother is that such portion of tha lands may be recovered as was con-% veyed since the beginning of the sut4 by Baroness De Roquez against Arms strong, Ii pondens having been fle& in a number of counties where the landi is located before the deeds were red corded. 6
 About two years ago the State o& West Virginia began suit to quiet ti@ tie to 500,000 acres of land which had passed under these deeds. Mrs. Mayl brick and her mother were made partT defendants and their testimony becama necessary. These facts were repre~ sented to the British government bue in no wise affected Mrs. Maybrick's red lease. R. H. Watkins
