BELIEVED HER BOY DEAD,
BUT HE WAS SHANGHAIEO
Mother Learns From Son, Now in Balti-
more Hospital, of Brutal Treat
ment on Oyster Boat.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-N1rs. r. A At
kins. a woman of refinement, who is
employed in one OF the large depart
ment stores on Sixth Avenue, tells
remarkable story OF the lawlessness and
cruelty 20 which her son has been sub
jected by the captain OF a Chesapeake
Bay oyster vessel The lad was eighteen
years old in December. He is at present
an inmate OF the City Hospital in Balti-
more, whence ne wrote home few days
ago. She had not heard from him in
two months and feared he was dead.
Mrs. Atkins was left widow a year
ago. Her son quit school and went to
Pittsburg He lost his position there
and went to Baltimore in search of
work A man he met in the street Of
fered him a job as a freight handler
and put him aboard an oyster dredger.
When down the bay about sixty miles
the captain put all hands to work wind
ing the dredges Atkins and others-who
had been tricked aboard protested in
vain. They were beaten and cuffed IN
mercifully. and were told that IL they
attempted to escape they would be shot.
Cruel treatment. worry, lack of food
and overwork soon turned young At
lSi1s into a shadow One night. he and
a companion tried to escape by using
hatch cover for a raft. They were
brought back. In his letter TO his moth
er Atkins says that for punishment the
captain tied rope about his waist ana
repeatedly threw him overheard in the
ice-cold water
AS long as l could work" Atkins
writes. II was kept aboard the boat.
1t was after I had cut my hand on an
oyster shell and IL had swollen up so
could not work that he took me ashore
in St. Mary county. about seventy
miles from Baltimore. He told me 70
wait in a store there till he collected
some money and that he would pay me
what he owed me. l waited a long time
and then found that he had gone back
aboard his boat and sailed away. I did
not have a penny. I walked forty miles
10 the nearest railway station. but the
conductor would not let me on the train
because ] had no money. I had TO walk
back again, cold and ragged. and almost
starved and with my hand paining m,
so that / could hardly bear II. I finally
got the captain Of one of the bay steam
ers. who took pity on my condition. TO
take me TO Baltimore. and a policeman
took me to a hospital"

MRS. MAVERICK TO STAY
IN PRISON FOR LIFE
Clark Bell, Who Headed Movement for
Her Release, Says She Hasn't the
Slightest Chance.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-The hopes Of
the friends of Mrs. Florence Maybrick
that she would at last be released from
servitude for life for the murder of
her husband by poison are blasted, de-
spite the announcement Of her counsel,
Daniel Decker. that the British govern
ment had ordered the release to date
from next July. when fifteen years of
her term shall have been completed.
1t had been decided already that Mrs.
Maybricl: would make her home in the
South among the scenes of her happy
girIhood.
Clark Bell. of the Medico-Legal So
ciety. says:
Mrs Maybrick has not the slightest
chance of release. These stories float
ing across the Atlantic from London
are purely imaginative. The latest COM
munication of this sort was said to
have been addressed to Secretary OF
State Hay.
II have been at the head Of the move
ment for her release. and I wrote 70
Washington FOR confirmation of the
story. Mr. Hay replied that he never
had received any communication of the
kind and did not expect TO receive one. %
In view of the refusal OF the British
government to take further action. il
will be impossible for Mrs. Maybrick to
take any action toward the recovery
Of her 100000 share of the estate left
by her grandfather. Darius Blake Hol-
brook.
1t has been charged Uy her counsel
that various great tracts of land in Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. sold by her former
trustee. have never been accounted for.
1t is probable now that the alleged
wrong never will be righted. as Mrs.
Maybrick apparently is doomed to re-
main in prison until death releases her.
