Maybrick is Taken Ill.

Three days later Mr.. Maybrick at
tended the races at Wirral. The day
was cold and stormy. On his return
home. late at night, he complained of
a chill. a numbness, and an oppression
at the stomach. This he ascribed to a
bad dinner, eaten at the race track res
taurant. That night he took to his bed
and remained there, suffering from
gastric trouble, until the morning of
Wednesday, May !. when he recovered
sufficiently to return to business On
that day, and the two days that fol-
lowed, he carried his luncheon to his
[office. Barry's Revalenta Food was
prepared by his wife. placed in the jar
by her and tied up. It was not eaten
by Mr.. Maybrick, who complained that
the mere taste OF food made him bill
ious. Traces of arsenic were after
wards found in the jar.
Arrowroot was prepared and sent to
his office. The jar containing the ar
rowroot was filled by Mrs. Maybrick.

the hands of the messenger. On the
rim of that pitcher and again on the

Womanly Trait Her Undoing.
The one little touch of the woman in
Mrs. Maybrick in the yearning that
prompted her to turn to the man for
whom she had sacrificed herself was
her undoing. But for the letter to
Brierley, written by her and entrusted
for postage to the hands Of Alice Yapp,
it is probable that this woman would
never have been brought to trial. Alice
Yapp swore that she put the letter in
the hands of Mrs. Maybrick's baby
and that the baby dropped the letter
which fell into the mud: that she open
ed the letter with the intention of put
ting it into a fresh envelope; that the
sight of the first line caused her to read
the rest; to take it back to the house
and nut 1t in the hands of Edwin May
brick. 1t must be said that UP to this
time not one word had been said by the
physician as to the duration or May
bricks illness or to indicate the APP
proaeh of death. Assuredly. the doc
tors did not apprehend fatal result.
Letter Which Caused Arrest.
Yet those were the words of the COM

against her:

he will not admit it. You must feel that

under circumstances which must ex-

Wife Under Suspicion.
The wife was now the object of sus-
pieion and horror of the household. |
But it remained for the night that fol
lowed to furnish the most striking cir
of all.
