MRS. MAVERICK HAS CAPA-
CITY FOR AVOIDING QUESTIONS

Washington March 29.-The testl-
mony of Mrs. Florence Maybrlok In the
taking Of dispositions In the case OF her
mother, Baroness Won Roques, against
David w. Armstrong and Others in
volying valuable tracts Of lands In Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Kentucky,was
concluded today.
Mrs Maybrick displayed marked ca
pacity for avoiding direct answers TO
the rigid questioning to which she was
subjected. She declared with respect
to the signing Of certain papers In
prison which were brought to her by
Consul Potter that she was so imper-
fectly informed as TO the communlca-
tions that passed between Mrs. May
brick and her mother that she simply
signed the documents without any clear
knowledge Of the transaction. Upon
being pressed for more direct answer,
Mrs. Maybrick insisted that when she
signed the papers she did not know the
nature Of their contents.
The defendant produced a number
Of letters purporting to have been writ
ten by her mother, Mr. Potter and 9TH
ers before and during her imprson-
ment, but she expressed her inability to
identify the handwriting Of any one OF
sixteen years ago,
THE impression OF my mothers
handwriting prior TO my release" she
said, IS too dim for me TO Identify de-
llnitely any letter" She would not
state even TO the hest OF her knowledge
and belief that The letter shown her
had been written by her mother say
ing that n statement OF that Kind
would be too definite.
Counsel for the plaintiff objected to
question as to whether Mrs. May.
brick had received pardon from the
British government, but the witness
nevertheless cautiously replied that she
had papers In her possession given her
by the British government, Asked II
she were willing to produce them Mrs.
Maybrick replied, with equal caution,
that they were not permitted to be
produced except at the request Of the
American government.
on redirect examination, which was
confined TO one question, Mrs. May
brick detailed the circumstances under
which she acquired an interest In the
property In dispute saying that at
her marriage her mother gave her as
a decided gift one-third OF her property
interest In Kentucky Virginia and West
Virginia and later assigned the same
In writing. The deed and assignment,
said Mrs. Maybrick had been confirmed
repeatedly by her mother up TO the
present day by word OF mouth.
THAT" she sald rs the agreement
that now exists between U.S." and she
smilngy left the stand.

Prudential Committee of Amcri.
can Board Recommends its
Acceptance,
DEFINITE ACTION POSTPONED.
Taking OF Gilt Involves No Express
slon of Opinion as to the Char.
acter OF the Giyer

Boston, March 29-The American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions announced today that It's pru-
Dental committee had accepted re-
port Of the subcommittee, recommend
ing the acceptance Of the gift OF $780,
900 by John d. Rockefeller, but that
final action on the matter had been
postponed for two weeks, The report
OF the subcommittee In the language
Of statement issued by the board to-
day, was received and accepted as ex-
pressing the unanimous judgment Of
the prudential committee, and the ex-
ecutive officers" and was to the effect
that the committee could not accede to
the protest Of those who objected to
the acceptance Of the gift
The report also stated that the Gift
was offered by MIR. Rockefeller and UNI
animously accepted by the prudential
committee on Feb. IA last. II says that
In accepting the gift the committee fol-
lowed the universal custom OF the
church In the past lin receiving upon
Its affairs the gifts Of all who were
moved to lay them thereon
The report holds that the acceptance
Of gift involves no expression OF
opinion on the part Of the committee as
to the character OF the giyers and to
intercept a gift made to others in or
der to express an opinion seems unwar-
rantable."
The reason for deferring final action
is given as follows:
'lnasmuoh as the protestants have
requested delay the committee will hold
anal action in allegiance for two weeks"
summing up the arguments Of the de-
PENDANT protestants the reports say
they practically declare that the donor
Of this gift Is believed to be Identified
in conspicuous way with great
evil in this country, and that therefore
TIE board should refuse the gift In
conspicuous way thus striking blow
at the evil.
I'VE feel" says the report ON this
point that the protestants have other
ways of making their views known,
and that the blow should not be struck
at the expense Of the people in the
non-Chrlstan world"
