Prison,
so SAYS MR.. HAYDEN
SOME AMUSING EXPERIENCES
WITH REPORTERS RELATED.
He Reiterates the Statement That
There Was No Trick to Secure
Her Freedom.

The oft published statement that Mrs.
RAJ brick Is on ticket-ofleave from the
English prison is untrue said Mr.. Samuei
V Hayden, her attorney. today to Star
reporter. IF she was she would be re-
ouired to report to detective headquarters
OF Scotland Yards once every month
This Mrs Maybrick has never been re-
quired to do l am not at liberty TO state
tho conditions surrounding her release. but
she Is not on tciset-of-leave."
Several amusing experiences with English
and French reporters were related by MT.
Hayden during his round about journey
from England to New York. At Dover per-
sistent efforts were made by men armed
with kodaks to secure pictures of Mrs. May
brick and her attorney, but both managed
to evade the snap-shottists.
Just before we sailed from Dover" said
Mr. Hayden II was both Mortified and
amused to see my alleged picture in an
English daily, with flowing side whiskers of
the Lord Dundreary type Beneath the
likeness of the bewhiskered and beefy-look-
ing individual was the superscription, The
Eminent American. Mr.. Hayden attorney
for Mrs. Maybrick.'
When shown the picture Mrs. Maybrick
Joined Mr.. Hayden in hearty laugh. as
she glanced at his SmOOth-Shaven face. The
attorney has not vestige of beard on his
face. and has an especial aversion to whis-
kers of the Dundreary pattern.
Eluded French Reporters.
The cuteness of Mrs Maybrlck while on
the cars en- route from Paris to Antwerp
was shown In an incident in which five
strange men. believed to be French report
ers. figured. Mrs. Maybrick became aware
that the men were following her. and when
the train reached Brussels she waited until
1t was about to start again. when she quiet

her followers as 1t sped away.
Then, going to a hote., she changed her
hat, placed a veil over her face and sent TO
Mr. Hayden, who was at Antwerp awaiting
her arrival there, this telegram:
Mr.. Follower gone on VIII come on
later train. Don't meet me. HOoE
II understood this composite telegram at
once" said Mr.. Hayden. 'and knew that
she left the train at Brussels to avoid Mr.
Follower who afterward proved TO be five
followers instead of one"
1t was explained that in adopting the
name Rose Ingraham while on her Journey
to this country Mrs. Maybrick did SO to
avoid publicity. Her uncle. Rev John F.
T. Ingraham. Mr.. Hayden stated. Is the
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at
ST Louis He is over eighty years OF age
On the steamer at Antwerp a man and
woman. who said they represented a french
newspaper came aboard. AS neither could
speak word of English they were easily
disposed Of. said the attorney.
The English and French reporters we
met" added Mr.. Hayden, "are not as up
to date and shrewd our American re-
porters They also lack that Yankee self
assertiveness, and approach the person
they desire to interview hat in hand and
with the most profuSe apologies. They are
persistent though and follow the person
they expect to receive news from.
Woman Passengers Fear.

fore the steamship reached the New York
quarantine station, because 1t had been
whispered to her that Mrs Maybrick
board. Approaching Mr.. Hayden she
asked If it was true that Mrs. Maybrick
was on the steamer.
Yes, she is" was his polite reply
This statement almost caused the woman
to have a hysterical attack.
'Oh. my she exclaimed. eff that woman
Is on this steamer we shall all be detained
three days at quarantine, as she is just out
of prison. and l have got to attend the
wedding of a dear friend tomorrow night
Oh. dear. 1t is too bad"
She only became quiet when Mr.. Hayden
showed her the official permit from Immi-
grafton Commissioner Sergeant for Mrs.
flaybrick to be allowed TO land without In
reference. "the same as any other Ameri-
can citizen"
Mr. Hayden did not go direct to England
from this country. but took the Mediter-
ranean trip, touching at the Azores GID
raltar Spain, Italy. Switzerland, Germany
and France. timing his arrival in Eng
land to be there to take up Mrs. May

letters and kilograms from all sec ions OF
the United States and even Canada con-

No Trick to Secure Her Release.
Mr. Hayden was shown the published
statement that Baroness Won Roques
brought suit against ID. w. Armstrong sew
eral years ago alleging that Armstrong
had persuaded her to part for $4,000 with
lands which he subsequently sold for mil
lions Mrs. Maybrick said to have
interest in this property. and 1t to
punish persons who had defrauded her that
the British government allowed her to
leave prison on ticket of leave.
The suit was not defended before be-
cause Armstrong feared that statement
OF the facts would show that Mrs. May
brick had no real interest in the property
and seem like an attempt to Illustrate the
efforts made TO obtain pardon for her.
He preferred. Il is said to walt until she
free and able to fight in open court for
whatever interest she might possess In the
property.
The answer of Armstrong maintains that
she had no interest in the lands and that
the British government seems to have fallen
into uhe trap arranged by the friends of
Mrs Maybrick"
Mr.. Hayden emphatically denied the
charge of trickery to secure Mrs. May
bricks release. He said Armstrong in all
the transactions relating to these lands.

attorney for Baroness Won Roaues and
Mrs. Maybrick. He explained that Groome
