BELIEVED WITH BARNUM.
Mr.. Starkey Heard Mrs. Post Say Peo-
pie Liked to be Humbugged.
(Bv the Associated Press. }

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 4.-Mental
science as a healing power had its inning
today IN the trial in the case of Helen
Willnan Post in the United States Court.
The government charges that Mrs. Posts
scheme was fraud and that in sending
her advertising matter through the mails
and receiving from her patients she used
the mails for fraudulent purposes. The
government has been trying all the week
to prove the fraud of the alleged treat
ment sent by transference OF thought.
Today the government closed its case and
a half dozen witnesses from various parts
of the country testified to the benefits
they and the members of their families
had derived from Mrs. Posts alleged
treatment.
Mrs. D. B. Kicker, of South Lake
Weir, Fla, testified that she paid Mrs.
Post six dollars per monthafor two months
to treat her sister who lived in Cam
bridge, Mass. The sister had lung
trouble and was to be treated through the
witness and without the patients knowl-
edge.
E. Z. Star6ey, OF Chicago, testified that
in talking with Mrs. Post at Sea Breeze,
Fla, he had heard her say that people
liked to be humbugged.
Mrs Alice f. Mitchell, of California,
testified that Mrs Post treated her sister
for lung trouble, and that her sister was
cured.
Mrs. Sidcne Guthrie, of Sea Breeze.
said she was out on the pier once when
Mrs. Post was out fishing. She spoke
to Mrs. Post and the latter told her not
to talk as she, (Mrs. PosD was treating
her patients. This was to show that it
made no difference where the defendant
might be, she could carry on her treat
ment.
D. G. Stephens, of Richland, Iowa; DR.
w. H. Feurt, of Proctorville, o.; Mrs.
Helen NJ Oliver, of Marblehead, Mass;
Colonel John McWilliams, a banker, of
Odell, Ills, and Mrs. Susan Silver, of
Urbana, Ohio, testified to treatment and
cures by Mrs. Post.

OUT Of THE PRISON
Mrs. Maybrick in a Quiet
Country Home.
Free Subject to Conditions Governing
Ticket of Leave Convicts. She
Owes All to the Duchess OF
Bedford.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 4-The Associated Press
can announce with authority that Mrs.
Florence Maybrick is now in a home in
distant part Of England and under the
care Of the members of q religious sister
hood. She has not been released and she
is kept under surveillance, but to all in
tents and purposes her life now, compared
to her existence i Aylesbury prison Is
that of free woman. She will remain
where she is util next July, when her
punishment will be ended under the spe
cial license, and she will be allowed to go
free subject to the usual conditions gov
ernirg ticket of leave convicts.
The transfer of Mrs. Maybrick from
penal prison to quiet country home con-
stitutes an almost unprecedented action
en- the part OF the authorities It was
due, to the mediation of Adeline Marie,
Duchess of Bedford. who. as visitor to
Aylesbury prison for many years, has
taken keen personal interest in Mrs.
Maybrick and finally succeeded in obtain
ing the mitigation of her punishment to
the extent of being allowed to spend the
last six months of her confinement out
side the prison walls. The Home Office,
several mnths ago agreed to meet the re-
quest of the Duchess OF Bedford, although
=, imposed q pledge OF secrecy. There
fore, in order to permit her hair to grow
out again and for the recuperatlon OF her
health, Mrs. Maybrick was quietly trans
ferred to this private institution, where,
although she is still actually a convict
under q life sentence. she lives, in free,
dom that bellies her real status.
The mystery with which this change in
Mrs Maybrick's situation was effected, ex-
cited the keenest interest here and gave
rise to numerous stories that she had been
released These, as previously stated IN
these dispatches, are utterly without
foundation.
Her exact whereabouts is guarded with
extraordinary secrecy, chiefly for the pur-
pose of preventing criticism of the gov
ernment for having taken the foregoing
exceptional steps in her case.
Washington, Feb. An view Of the
suggestion that has been made in the press
to the effect that Mrs. Maybrick, when
released from prison, will not be permitted
TO land in the United States on the ground
that she has been a convict, 1t Is learned
that that issue probably will be avoided by
the simple device Of taking out pass
port from the United States Embassy in
London While the doctrine is not abso-
lutely settled, the State Department prac-
tice has bcen TO admit the right ot an
American woman who has married an
alien to regain her citizenship in America
upon the death of her husband by a
here assertion of her desire to do so. So
Mrs. Maybrick, being released, may come
into the United States as an American
citizen and as such would not be subject
to the operations of the exclusion laws
which apply only to foreigners.
