IS A REAL TWISTER SPEAKS FOR MOTHER
Mrs. Maybrick Deposes i'm a
Civil Suit

WASHINGTON, March %. = Mrs.
Florence Maybrick appeared before a
notary here today to make deposition
in a suit known as Caroline E. Won
Roques against David w Armstrong
ct al, a case involving tracts of valu-
able land in Virginia, West Virginia
and Kentucky. Since the institution of
the case in 1903 it has been pending
in the chancery court of Richmond.
awaiting Mrs. Maybrick's evidence.
Mrs. Maybrick is a witness for her
mother, the Baroness Won Roques.
Mrs. Maybrick today acknowledged
while in prison signing some papers
! brought to her by the United States
consul, who told her that they related
to the conveyance of certain Ken
lucky lands in which she was interest
ed. She was asked if her mother and
herself had received their share of the
$4,000 paid to Mr.. Armstrong in March,
1889, by the Kentucky Land Union
company and if that would have af-
fected her trial. She replied that the
money, which had not been received
would have enabled her to bring wit
nesses from Norfolk, Va, by whom she
could have proved her husbands habits
in regard to his use of arsenic and to
have secured expert testimony that
would have shown his death was due
to natural causes. -s---t
This statement and in fact nearly all
Mrs. Maybricks testimony was objected
to by Mr.. Armstrong. The cross ex-
animation developed that the defense
will endeavor to show that the plaintiff
has not been defrauded of any money
or title to property and that the de-
fendant Armstrong was a member of
the Louisville bar at the time and was
in good standing. professionally.

So Declares Indictment Re.
turned Against Armour &
Co.'s Superintendent

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The federal
grand jury tonight returned an ipdict-
ment against Thomas ]. Connors, gen.
eral superintendent of Armour & Co,
on charge of interfering with a wit
ness summoned to appear before the
jury. Mr.. Connors was arrested on a
bench warrant by a United States
deputy marshal and brought TO the
grand jury room, where he was releas-
ed on a $1,000 bond
The indictment charges that John
Edward Shields OF Brooklyn, who testi-
fed in the so-called beef trust inVesti-
CATION, was approached. favored and
entertained by Mr.. Connors, and spe-
cifically states that on March % the
offense upon which Mr.. Connors was
indicted occurred. II is also charged
that Shields was given the use of Ar
mour q Co.'S offices at 205 La Sale
street to transact his business while in
Chicago and also the use of a private
telegraph wire in the office of the pack
ing company. Another allegation is
that Shields was entertained by Con-
nors and that Connors suggested to the
proposed witness that he should testify
favorably to Armour & Co, and not 10
tell all he knew concerning the mat
ter under investigation.
The second count charges that Con-
nors did not limit his attempt at in
fluencing witnesses to Mr.. Shields, but
that other witnesses who have not as
yet appeared in Chicago have been ap-
preached by him and attempts made to
influence them as TO the nature of testi-
mony they would give. The penalty is
a fine of $500 or Imprisonment for three
months or both.

ment had been in the way of bringing
