HER WHEREABOUTS A MYSTERY

Conditions Uuder Which, 1t Is Alleged
She Is To BE Set Free.
Where Mrs. Maybrick has been taken
remains a mystery, but reports from
Aylesbury are to the effect that she
has been removed to some institution
in Cornwall. The home Office and the
governor of Aylesbury prison refuse
to make any kind of statement on
the subject. If the ordinary course
had been followed Mrs. Maybrick
would have been taken to Holloway
if her immediate release were con-
templated, but she is not there. and
has probably been removed to some
other prison of less rigorous discipline
where she can recuperate prior to her
release. Or. possibly she has been con-
veyed to one of the government homes
Of detention, or to an asylum.
The Daily Mail this morning says
that Mrs. Maybrick is now in Liver
pool, and that the following conditions
attach to her release from prison: That
she will not appear on the public stage
or write book of her experiences,
and shall in no way endeavor to at
tract public attention to herself.
Florence G. Maybrick, the daughter
of the late w. G Chandler, a banker
of Mobile, Ala, was convicted at Liv-
erpool in 1880 OF having poisoned her
husband, James Maybrick, cotton
broker, Who lived part of the time in
Norfolk and part in Liverpool, and
sentenced to death. This sentence,
however, was later commuted to life
Imprisonment. Many efforts have been
made during Mrs. Maybrick's impris-
onment to have her pardoned, and it
was announced on March %. 1903, on
authority of the home Office. that she
would be released in 1904.

Bedford, Ind. Feb. BIT has be-
come known that the investigation
committee has in it,. possession a per-
Gale cuff, of polka dot pattern. which
was found i'm the cab shed q week
after the discovery of Miss Schafer's
body. The initial M, which is sup
posed to be a laundry mark, is writ
ten with indelible ink On the inner
band of the cuff. This is not the
initial of any one hitherto mentioned
in connection with the investigation.
The officials declare that the cuff was
not in the shed when the body was
found. and they believe it has been
placed there to divert them from the
present line of investigation.
Detectives wholly at Sea.
Miss Eva Love, roommate of Sarah
Schafer, has been questioned by the
detectives and has in their opinion told

might have thrown light on the identi-
