YEARS IN PRISON.
NEW CHAPTER in TRAGIC TALE
Travelled Under An Assumed Name
to Avoid Publieity--Believes
God viii Right Wrong she
Has Suffered.

New York, Aug. 23.-The steamer
"Vaderland," with Mrs. MaybriclS
aboard, was locked shortly after eight
o'clock this morning. A great crowd.
of curious people swarmed the docks,
and witnessed without demonstration
the woman walk down the gang plank
on the arm of her lawyer, Mr.. S. ".
Hayden. She was hustled into a cab
and driven TO the Fifth avenue hotel,
where she will stay over the day. To-
morrow she will leave for Hayden's
nome at Ellenville, near Kingston, N.
Y. Dressed in black and white with
heavy veil over her fragile stature,
she appeared on deck this morning
and watched the statue of liberty, and
the tall buildings of the city. When
passengers appeared, she withdrew
TO her state room and said to Lawyer
Hayden: "This is the happiest hour
of my life" The customs officers
did not detain her an instant. On
the voyage she prepared a statement
for the press which was given out
this morning. In it she said she re-
GREETED that the state of her health
prevented her from talking to her
friends Of the press. To them and to
her fellow countrymen she felt great.
ly indebted for their efforts in her be-
half, and she expressed her thanks.
She is assured by her physician that
quiet and rest will restore her health.
She expressed joy on her return to
her native land. She said she believ
ed God in His own good time would
right the wrong she had suffered.
Mrs. Maybrick was entered on the
passenger list as Mrs. Rose Ingraham
a name which she took from her great
grandparents. This precaution was
not designed to evade official inquiry
but merely to avoid annoying observa
tion on the part of fellow passengers
While she made no secret of hel
presence on board and appeared fire
quently about the decks and salon
very few were aware of her identity
Mrs. Maybrick, it will be recalled
is the woman who has spent fifteen
years in English prisons, and whose
welfare has enlisted prominent people
on both sides of the Atlantic. She
was sentenced to life servitude for ths
murder OF her husband, an Englisa
, idfd. Her present freedom Is cond
tional, and she may at any time be re
called by the English government
she being federal prisoner.
Florence Maybrick, a southerner
born in Mobile, Ala, made her luck

of James Maybrick, of Liverpool, a
man Of 40 years; and soon after her
marriage went to England with her
husband. Seventeen years of girl
hood, thirteen years of married life,
fifteen years of Imprisonment make
the record Of Florence Maybrick's
life up to the present.
