ED" Butler. the boss of ST. Louis has
been indicted for the most fragrant
frauds since the days of Tweed. Indeed
it seems that if the New York CRATER
were alive now he would think that he
had been entirely too moderate, as Lord
Give remarked. Butler was convicted
and sent TO Jail some years ago by the
Folk, acting as the city's
prosecuting attorney, and escaped ON
in the indictment Now
he il again in tolls, and the same testi-
mony which last week sent three of a
gang to Jail is to be brought against
him.
Mrs. Maybrick, an American heiress
born Florence Chandler, was released
from an English prison, after serving
fifteen years of life sentence for poi
soning her husband, last Wednesday.
She went to France, but with her
mother, the Baroness de Roche, Will
soon appear in this country to contest
some rich Virginia estates. This 10
the end OF a case that has attracted
world wide attention and has given rise
TO the most conflicting opinions. More
pressure was brought TO have the wo-
man pardoned soon after her conviction
than in any case in modern times. but
nothing ever came of il except her re-
lease after fifteen years, which is not
where there is doubt as to
the guilt and where the prisoner has
made good record.
IL was often reported that Queen Vic
toria was greatly opposed to any ameli-
grafton Of the sentence because she did
not like reports of Mrs. Maybricks con-
duct aside from the allegation eff muir
der. These same people expected that
when the new King succeeded he would
be swift TO free the woman. While it is,
Of course, possible that the Queen did
prevent the pardon, it is not very likely,
since the home Secretary has complete
control of such matters, and while
sovereign might interfere the contingen-
cy is remote one. The course pursued
was that which would have been fol-
lowed had not any efforts been made in
her behalf.
AT Gettysburg the boys are drilling
between showers.
Sunday afternoon gambling in the
woods il more popular than profitable.
