EDWARD MYLlUS GETS YEARS
IMPRISONMENT FOR ATTACK
ON THE KING.
IS HIS OWN ATTORNEY
Accused Man Was Agent for Liberator,
Republican Newspaper Of France,
IN Which Was Printed the Story Of
An Alleged Morsanatie Marriage On
the Part Of King George.

London, Feb. 1.-The report, Oft
repeated. that King George, while "A
cadet in the royal navy, morgan
atically married daughter of Sir
Michael Culme-S Seymour. was given
complete refutation In the highest
court of England today. Edward H.
Mylius, agent and distributor of the
Liberator. u republican paper pub
lished In PARIS, which revived the tale
last November, was tried on a charge
of scditious libel, promptly convicted
and given a maximum penalty of II
months Imprisonment.
In pronouncingwentenc Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone said the punish
ment was inadequate for one who had
chosen u weapon for personal at
tack upon his majesty. from the use
of which every honorable man would
recoil.
The story had been current a long
time, but II became specially irritat-
ing to British sensibiiities upon King
Georges accession. As published by
Edward II. James, editor of the Lib
orator. 1t set forth that I'm the life
time of the Duke of Clarence, his eld-
est brother. and before George became
heir to the thrown, the future king
visited Malta, where he fell I'm love
with and married Mary Elizabeth
culme- Seymour. eldest daughter OF
the admiral then stationed at Malta
as commander in -chief of the Medi-
terranean squadron,
No Such Marriage Recorded.
This was supposed to be in 1890;
but the admiralty records showed that
the king did not hold an appointment
on any ship that visited Malta be-
tween the fall of 1888 and the sum
mer of 1898. The marriage records of
the island OF Malta were produced to
prove that no such marriage had been
recorded.
Admiral Culme- Seymour swore that
his two daughters, one of whom has
since died. never had an opportunity
10 meet his majesty.
The daughter In question, now the
wife of Captain d. Napier, entered the
witness box and said she had seen
the king but three times In her life.
Mylius Offered no testimony and did
not examine the crowns Witnesses
He confined his defense. which he
conducted himself, to technicalities.
asserting that he could not be legally
tried In the absence of his aecuser.
A Dramatic Close.
The proceedings came to dramatic
close when, after sentence had been
pronounced, Sir Rurus Isaac read
letter from King George, In which
the writer set forth that only the adj
vice of tho officers of the crown that
such course would be unconstitu-
tional had prevented him from appear
ing personally in the courtroom and
publicly branding as untrue the ale-
cation that he had ever entered into
any marriage alliance other than that
contracted with Queen Mary.

Senator George introduced the first

the senate committee on counties,
towns and municipal corporations.
The bill came up on general order
this morning and Senator Selway of

to the committee on privileges and

This was followed by spirited gem
eral debate.
Senator Meyer moved as a substi-
tute that 1t be recommended for pas

Senator Whiteside declared that he
was in favor Of reapportionment but
not until the question OF new coun-
ties was settled. There was no rea-

Washington, Feb. THAT Senator

This assertion was step Ia advance

Junior senator and If accepted would

Mr.. Brown undertook to show that

certain that Lorimor had been POSI-

What were those conferences

Compelling Force.

Quoting then Brownies statement,
Lorimer is bound by the testimony or
this witness: the senate is bound ty
IL. II has a compelling force that
cannot be resisted in the light of this
record and when 1t H. established in
the nroof that Lgrlmer knew what
prowne was doing 1t is established
that the bribery of at least four mem-
bers of that legislature was. commlt-
ted with the knowledge and with the
consent of Mr.. I4orilner and when that
fact IL established all disputed cues
lions OF law are taken out OF this case.
The only theory on which the cleo
ton OF Mr. Lorimer can be sustained
is that no one was bribed by Browne
to vote for him. IL Browne bribed
nobody, Lorimer knew H. II Browne
bribed anybody Lorimer knew II and
consented 10 1t and thereby forfeited
all title to the office. And when the
committee agrees that with four votes
bribed by Browne Lorimer's election
is still valid, the conclusion must fail,
because, under the direct and undi5.
puted evidence of Browne, as Well as
under all the other convincing circum-
stances and proof, 1t Is obvious that
I.orimer knew all that Browne did.
