MRS. MAVERICK SET FREE
American Woman Finally Released
From British Prison.
Her Life Sentence For Death Of Hus'
band Terminates After Servi-
tude of Sixteen Years.

London, England-Mrs. Florence
Aaybrick, the American woman who
was serving life sentence for having
poisoned her husband. was released
from the Aylesbury Female Convict
Prison at GAS o'clock on the morning
Of January 25, on special license.
Her mother, the paper says, had WIS.,
tied her Saturday. January %. and
evidently was the bearer of important
news. The Governor Of the prison
on Sunday conferred with the prison
officials with a view to arranging for
the departure Of the prisoner, which
was carried out very quietly.
Mrs. Maybrick, accompanied by one
of thesprisOn matronS, entered closed
carriage and drove to Aylesbury Sta
ton, where she took train for Lon
tdon. She drove from Euston Station
and from there went to private home
not far from the metrep0Iis;:: Sire will
remain at the home for short period
in order to recuperate and to await
the completion Of. certain formalities
which will give her Q. freedom of move
ment not allowed by persons on ordi-
nary ticket-of-leave.
Mrs. Maybrick, the paper concludes,
during the last few months in prison,
was employed in the lightest work as a
reward for good conduct.
The release Of the famous prisoner
brings to an end one of the most cele-
brated criminal cases in the history of
England. At the age Of thirty ty-nine
years the once noted American beauty
leaves her cell, white-haired and blast
ed with the prison pallor. Since the
death of her husband, in 1888, after a
most unhappy married life, she has
faced sentence to death by hanging.

prison window, on which she was to
die, has received communication Of her
sentence to Imprisonment for life, and
finally, has been released after serving
nearly sixteen years.
The British Government was ap-
pealed to again and again, the officials
Of the Home Office being in almost
constant receipt of petitions in which
new evidence was given and new rea-
sons for seeking a pardon presented.
When it was officially announced that
the officials Of the Home Office had
finally agreed to- release Mrs. May
brick, after her many years of i'm
prisonment, there was the greatest re-
joicing among the members Of the In
ternational Association Of Women.
who from the time that they had had
the sentence of death imposed upon
her changed to life Imprisonment.
fought for her release. 1t was stated
then that after her release she would
probably go with her mother to her
home in Rouen, France, and that later
she would return to America to live in
Louisiana.

WILL NOT GIVE UP ZEIGLER.
Gov. Odell Declines to Honor the Mis-
souri, Requisition.

Albany, N. Y.-Gov. Odell has de-
clded to deny the request Of Gov.
Dockery of Missouri for the extradi-
ton from this State of William Zeig-
ler, who was indicted for bribery in
connection with the baking powder
scandal in the Missouri Legislature.
The Governor reached his decision
after receiving an opinion on the case
from Attorney General Cunneen. He
holds that the fact of the indictment
Is not alone sufficient ground for ex-
tradition. He contends that it must
also be proved that Mr.. Zelgler is a
fugitive from Missouri.
The evidence as to whether Zeigler
was in Missouri at the time of the al
legged offence, Mr.. Cunneen holds, is in
Zeigler's favor.
