In few days he died. His brothers investigated his death and charged Mrs Maybri with the murder of her husband A long trial followed and number of doctors swore that the deceased died of arsenical poisoning. The defense proved that for twenty years MT Maybrick had been a con- flrmed user of arsenic and that he daily took doses large enough to have killed 8 dozen ordinary men. Mrs Maybrick was eventually sentenced to death by the judge, Sir Fitzjames Stephen, who spoke for two days in charging the jury. He said it was impossible for them to find her not guilty i'll the face of the medical evil dence. The judge died some time later in madhouse.
 From the time of Mrs Maybrick's conviction her mother, the Baroness de Roques, was unremitting in her eff forts in behalf of the prisoner. She succeeded in having the death sen tence commuted to penal servitude for. life and finally has obtained the free dom of her daughter, to whose release from prison she has devoted her life. The baroness was aided by influential friends on both sides of the Atlantic. Tn 1900, after the death of Lord Rus sell of Killowen, chief justice of Eng land, letter which he had written to Mrs Maybrick in 1895 was discover ed. It showed he was convinced that she ought never to have been convict ed, and it has been generally under stood that all the recent American ambassadors to the court of St James have done everything possible to ob- tain Mrs Maybrick's pardon.
 The fact of her probable release was used as a reason for securing the postponement of trial last year of lawsuits bearing on Mrs Maybrick's interest in land in Kentucky. Vir- ginia and West Virginia until she was able personally to testify. If she was not able to testify in these suits Mrs Maybrick and her mother would have lost all title and interest in the many thousands of acres of land involved
 On February last, Home Secre- tary Akers-D Douglas, replying to question in the house of commons, confirmed the reports which had been in circulation that Mrs Maybrick had been removed from Aylesbury prison to a conyalescent house, where she would remain until the summer, when SHe Wouiu De dlloWeQ ueE IFeeuOm. The home secretary said license had been granted to Mrs Maybrick under the penal servitude acts.
 The transfer of the prisoner from a penal prison to a quiet country home constituted an almost unprecedented action on the part of the British au- thorities. It was due to the media tion of the Duchess of Bedford, who, as a visitor to AvleSbury prison for many years. had taken keen person al interest in Mrs Maybrick, and fi nally succeeded in obtaining the miti- gation of her punishment to the ex- tent of her being allowed to spend the last six months of her confinement outside the prison walls.

PROBABLY MURDERED.
Body of Woman Found by Police in
 Her Home.

New York, July 2O.-T The body of Mrs Gertrude Kramer was found in her home in this city to-day under con- ditions which lead the police to believe the woman was murdered. She had not been seen by any of her neighbors since Monday and when an officer and the woman's brother went to her home early to-day they found the door to her apartments/ locked with a paddock on the outside. The door was forced and Mrs Kramers body was found ly- ing on sofa. Marks on her throat caused the police to start an investiga- ton on the theory that the woman had been murdered. They at once began a search for William Murphy, street car conductor, who had lived in the Kramer apartments since Mrs Kramer and her husband separated several months ago.

 Dear MT Shares - Understanding that you are the personal representa- hve' of Judge Cleaveland, desire to ask if you can at this time assure me that the judge is, or will be in the field for the republican nomination for governor.
 If so, it will give me pleasure to lend such Influence as I have toward securing his nomination. In my opin- ion, Judge C1eaveland should be nom mated. and If nominated he will carry the state by an overwhelming major ity.

 My Dear Judge Replying to your favor of even date, I wish ito state in such terms as to leave no doubt in the mind of anybody that Judge Cleave- lands name will be placed before the convention in nomination for governor. am assured directly from the judge himself that he will accept the nomin- ation if he receives 1t, and his friends have already begun a campaign in his behalf.
 wish to assure you of my appreci- ation of the announcement of your sup port. At the present time we believe that the judge can be nominated; and as you say, If nominated, he will poll larger vote than any candidate for governor in recent years, as he will get out the so called stay at-home vote as no other man in this state can Again thanking you for your prof fered assistance. I am
 Yours very truly,

WAS A JAP RUsE.

Tatchekiao, July 20. Details of the repulse of Lieutenant-G General Count Keller's attack on the Japanese at Molten pass last Sunday, which have just arrived, show that it was demon stration in force to ascertain the strength of the enemy and plainly de- yeloped their numerical superiority. It is evident that the Japanese are draw ing off troops from the Russian south ern front. reinforcing their positions to the east.
 The Japanese display marvellous power of concentration at the right time and place. The Molten pass en- gagernent strengthens conviction here that the moment for general advance by the enemy has not yet arrived.
 Reports that the Japanese are about 4o land troops at Yinkow are current, but not believed.
