Expect Release.
Washington, Feb. 2.-Regarding the
case of Mrs. Maybrick, interest in which
has been revived by reports that she has
been released from prison in England,
state department officials say there has
been no recent communication between
them and the English government in the
matter The last information the de-
partment had regarding the case, and
this is now some months old, was that
Mrs. Maybrick probably would be re-
leased late in the coming summer.
Mrs. Maybrick was convicted at Liver
pool in 1889 on the charge of poisoning
her husband, James Maybrick, by arse
mic. She was sentenced to DEATH but
the sentence was commuted to pensal
servitude for life. The sentence of life
Imprisonment withstood all appeals A
petition for pardon with 100000 sigma
lures failed to move the British au-
thorities. Since 1889 Mrs Maybrick has
been in Aylesbury prison. She has not
been permitted to see her children, two
of whom are still alive and in good
hands. From the time of Mrs. May
bricks conviction her mother, the
Baroness Won Roques, has been unre-
hitting in her attempts to obtain the
prisoners release, in which she has
been aided by influential friends on both
sides of the Atlantic. From the time
she entered prison there has been no
cessation of efforts to secure her pardon
Societies in England and America
worked for the convicted woman. Their
efforts were rewarded last March, when
it was announced that she would be
freed in 1904. 1t was stated that her re-
lease would not be in any way a pardon,
but that she will then have served out
her sentence, with allowance for good
behavior while in prison.
