It is a clofh bonnd book of 600 and odd pages, and is published by the monster committee inter ested in securing the release of the young and beautiful ilrs. Plorcncc Elizabeth Hay brick, who was convicted of poisoning her husband. The copy is a "Subscribers' Edi tion." On the fly-leaf is a long list of prominent society people, headed by Lady Florence Dixie, who believe that the unfor tunate woman in "Woking Prison is inno cent A handsome full-page portrait of Mrs. Maybrick precedes the title-page, which reads as follows: THE MAYBRICK CASE. TREATISE Br ALEXANDER "WILLIAM MACDOUGALL on the facts of the case and of tho proceed ings in connection with tho charge, trial, conviction and present imprisonment of Florence Elizabeth llaybnck. Mr. JlacDougall is a London barrister and Chairman of the Mavbrick committee. He has written his 600 pages of testimony and comments without a break from the in troduction to the finish. Chapter heads would have made the matter more readable to people on this side of the water, but Mr. MacDougal has nevertheless produced a re markable and intensely interesting addition to literature. Some of the newlv discov ered evidence is given to the public for the first time. An Outline of tho Case. James Maybrick was a cotton merchant who married an American girl and lived handsomely in a suburb of Liverpool. He died in liis bed May 11, 18S9, and the sutopsv disclosed traces of arsenic in his stomach. On the trial Mrs. Maybrick, who is only 27 years old, admitted her relations with Alfred Brierley, and her counsel as serted that this admission, rather than posi tive evidence of administering arsenic to her husband, brought about her conviction. She was sentenced to be hanged, but the Home Secretary afterward commuted this sentence to imprisonment for life. The trial of the case is still fresh in the public mind, ana the agitation ior the woman s re leae has assumed gigantic proportions in Jjigland. -Author jlacJJougall dedicates "The Maybrick Case" in these words: This work is dedicated to James Chand ler Maybrick, aged 8 years, and Gladys Evelyn Maj brick, aged 4 years, by the au thor, with the sincere hope that it will en able them to feelj during their lives, that the word mother is not a 'sound unfit to be heard or uttered' by them, and that when they are old enouch to be able to under stand this record of the facts and circum stances connected with the charge put npon and the trial of Florence Elizabeth May brick, aged 27, her children may hae, throughout their lives, the comfort of feel ing that their mother was not proved to be guilt v of the murder of their father, James Ma brick" Preceding his introductory "Notice to the Header" the author makes this note on the presiding justice at the Maybrick trial: The Retirement of Justice Stephen. "Since this book was in print, Mr. Justice Stephen lias retired from the bench, and on April 7, 1891, when publicly taking leave of the bar, he made a statement of the cause of retiring, which, as I have criticised in this book the way in which he conducted Mrs Maybrick's trial, I think it is only just that I should set out here, though I am not of course, prepared to accent the doc trine of infallibility which he adopts as ap plicable to himself and to the eminent, but anonymous, physicians to whom he refers. He said: 'Not "very long ago I was made acquainted, suddenly andto my great sur- Jinse, that I was regarded by some as no onger physically capable of discharging my duties. I made every inquiry to ascertain what grounds there were for this impression and I certainly rejoice to say that no single instance was brought to my notice in which any alleged failure of justice could be as cribed to any defect of mine. I consulted physicians of the highest eminence and they told me that they could detect no sign what ever of decay in my faculties, and that, therefore, it was no matter ot immediate necessity in the public interest that I should retire.' In his public life as ajudgeheis of course open to criticism, and it is merely his public acts when sitting as judge at Mrs. Mai brick's trial which are criticised in this book. In his private life he is open to nothing except the warm sympathy of all, w hich is always due to a man who, like himself, has in different ways done great and lasting service to his country. "A. TV. McD." 'It is only on veryrare occasions," writes the barrister-author, "that the public have an opportunity of studying how criminal proceedings are conducted in this country Irom the beginning to the end. But in the Maybrick case, in consequence caused by the mystery in which the case was involved, the press furnished the country with every detail and with verbatim reports of the whole proceedings, including the inquest, the magisterial inquiry, the judge's charge to the grand jury, the "trial and the reasons for the advice given to the Queen by the Home Secretary, and an opportunity is thus afforded to the public (now that the excite ment has subsided in fact, has been fal lowed by apathy) of carefully studying how criminal proceedings are conducted .ind rp. fleeting whether, so conducted, they furnish Brierley, as I will prove to yon. He was in court all the morning, near where I was standing myself, and I did not recognize him. Again the inspector came to me and said: "Mr. Brierley was against you; I sup pose you recognized him." Well, I never saw him again. I give you this statement to show you that, honestly, I could not recog nize him if it had not been for the police. You are aware that at the Coroner's court tho Coroner dwelt chiefly upon Mrs. May brick's movements, in summing up, and that it was published in the local papers that the case would be quashed up. I told the in spector this. He said: "I have seen It myself, but I have a different opinion, for it is going to end against her," or something to this effect is ow, with regard to Mr. Brierley. Of course, I should not have recognized him nt all if It had not been for the police; but as I was for the prosecution I went by their orders, which I am sorry for now, for they acted In a very shameful manner. Well, after they returned from luncheon that in spector told me to nod to him when 1 recog nized Brierley. as lie would be in court in two or throe minutes. Well, I could no rocognizo him when he came, but a police man came up to me and showed me where Mr. Brierley was. I gii o you this statement voluntarily, to show you, as far as I am con cerned, that it was a regular got up case with tho police. Yours very truly, ALFRED SCHWEISSO. A Xew And Startling Departure. Mr. McDougall writes that the attention of the Home Secretary having been directed to this letter, he wrote in reply that the Home Office having no jurisdiction oyer the police who. were engaged in the case, he could not make any investigation into their conduct that it was a matter for the local authorities. - "This is a new and startlinsr departure in criminal procedure," he continues. "The local police are. it is true, now under con trol of the joint committee of the County council, but the police, however controlled, when they appear in our courts con ducting criminal proceedings appear there as representing the Queen, and not any such elected body as the committee of the County Council. It is difficult to conceive a more revolutionary doctrine than this evasion of duty, this shifting of resnonsihilitvfor the administra tion of criminal justice from the crown to the people, than this doctrine of Mr. Matthews that if the conduct of police in any criminal proceeding should require in vestigation there is no jurisdiction at the Home Office. 'jit is the very corner stone of our consti tution that criminal proceedings are con ducted in the name of the Queen, and the police, when they appear in our courts, are the representatives of the Queen and not of the County Council. The wildest revolu tionary demagogue has never propounded such a doctrine as this. "Where next will Mr. Matthews land us?

"It is the personal duty of every individual in this country, not merely as a public duty, but as a duty of self-protection, to watch the administration of justice vigilantly and to scrutinize jealously the conduct of those who are intrusted with the administration of justice; and this is especially so in mat ters which affectthe life and liberty of the subject In this treatise the text will be exclusively confined to the- facts of the case and the proceedings as they appear in tie reports and to observations upon those facts and those proceedings.

The most interesting of the newly discov ered facts and evidence is the letter of a waiter who was one of the prosecution's most important witnesses. Mr. MacDougall says that Alfred Schweisso. the waiter nt ihe hotel in London where Mrs. Maybrick and Brierley met, has written him the fol lowing letter on the subject of his evidence: 66 OLTTHA3T ST., Q.UEE2. 'S PiUK ESTATE, ) Lokdojt, January 18, 1S0O. Sin I received your letter this morning ntthis address, where I am at present stay ing, as I haeleft Mr. Flatman's. I should be loo glad to do th.it which would be of as sistance to your committee in getting Mrs. Maybrick released. I am aware that p.vprv- 1 mi1r frt. ilia ..n. ...! . .3 . . uuuj -va .uv u.u3t:iULiuu nits UCHQ RC A sample comment of the author in re viewing the testimony given, on the trial is this: "It will be presently seen, when we come to'consider Mr. Justice Stephen's summing up. that the Question left for the iurv was I 'motive for murder?' instead of 'murder by arsenic?' and, that in returning their ver dict, they were to regard criminal inter course as a motive lor murder. "My readers are not a Liverpool common jury, sitting under the influence of the oratory of Mr. Justice Stephen, and are not going to be taken off the scent of arsenic by the red herring of criminal intercourse thrown across our path. One-tenth of a grain of arsenic was found in the body of the deceased. He was in the habit of dosing himself. One of the witnesses of the prose cution, under cross-examination, admitted that he had destroyed, a few months since, a bundle of prescriptions, some of which were of strychnine for a nerve tonic; that arsenic was also commonly prescribed fpr the same purpose. Another witness for the prosecution (Edwin Maybrick) had been allowed by the police to ransack James May brick's papers and take away and keep back, a box of pills actually labelled 'arsenic,' be longing to his brother, after they had got the widow safely locked up in jail. Is this iair play?" .air. jucuougau next reters to this evi dence as given on the trial by Dr. Hum phreys: "When I was attending the children, in the early part of March. Mr. Mavbrick never complained to me. I had not asked Mr. Maybrick purposely about his health. I just casually said, 'How are you?' But I nad asked Mrs. Maybrick about her hus band's health when I had been attending the children. I do not remember the exact words spoken, but Mrs. Mavbrick made a specific statement to me about her husband taking something. That conversation took place some time in March. She said he was takinjj some white powder, which she thought was strychnine, and she asked what was likely to be the result I said if he took a large enough dose he would die. I said to Mrs. Maybrick (not meaningly, however), 'Well, if he should ever die suddenly, call me and I can say you have had some conversation with me about it' A Baling Called Into Question. "Mr. Justice Stephen," comments the author, "made use of this evidence in this way: When summing up to-the jury he said: 'It struck me at the time as a strange con versation to hold "if ever he dies suddenly you can mention," said Dr. Humphreys, "that you mentioned the matter to me." ' Now, Mr. Justice Stephen knew perfectly well the meaning of words, and in the name of common sense and common fairness why died he describe a remark of that kind made by Dr. Humphreys as 'a strange conversa tion to hold, as if Mrs. Maybrick had held it? If Mr. Justice Stephen had wished to refer to it he should have used plain English and said: 'It was a strange remark for Dr. Humphreys to make,' and not twisted itinto 'it was a strange conversation to hold!' " This strange history of a strange case ends with this appeal for Mrs. Maybrick: "I will ask my readers, when reflecting on her present position in Wosking Jail, to take these words into their hearts and pon der over them: "Say, old man," said my room-mate, Chris, one morning last winter, as we lay in bed, "what's the matter with building a pair of canvas canoes building them our selves and making a trip from Pittsburg to Cincinnati next spring?" The canoes were built, and though their "lines" may not have satisfied the most fastidious canoeist, they bore us safely and well many a mile, writes P. A. Jenkins in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. This is the cost: Several goods boxes for bulkheads, etc..$ 20 One bunch quarter inch strips 1 00 Ten yards ciglit-onnco duck 125 iucics ana naus 20 White lead, colors, oil 1 30 Total. $3 95 So, one morning in May, our boats with sundry contrivances for carrying provisions, were placed aboard a Pittsburg steamer. We put in the time learning all we could about the river on our trip up, making a friend of every man on board. It was about 6 A. m. when we pushed off from the steamer's side at the Monongahela wharf in Pittsburg, and waved good-bve to the crew. And for two weeks, with the ex ception of an occasional morning, the same hour found us pushing off from somewhere or frequently nowhere along the shores of La Belle Eiviere, as the Cavalier de La. Salle so justly called the river he discovered. Indeed, the Indian name it still bears is said to signify "The Beautiful Eiver." Tor two week we saw it at all hours in all weathers. in all moods, at all points, and we're ready to stand by the man who named it The Memorable First Day. Call me guilty, I do but pay the tax that's due to justice; But call me guiltless, then my punishment Is shame to those alone who do inflict it. "Those who, like, myself, after a delibera tive study of the evidence (which I have honestly endeavored to lay exhaustively be fore my readers), call her guiltless, must lecl shame as long as a guiltless woman is passing a living death in our midst; and I invite every one who feels that shame to join in every legitimate effort than can be made to carry out the following programme: "First Mrs. Maybrick's release from prison as a matter of right and as an ac knowledged innocent woman. "Second The removal from office of aU those who can be shown by their unconsti tutional conduct to have been responsible for the miscarriage of justice which' has taken place. "Third The bringing to justice of any persons who can be shown to have reck lessly and maliciously put the charge of murdering her husband upon Mrs. Mav. The first day out of Pittsburg was a mem orable one, and hongs out its red flag of avoidance like the dynamite boat that was met later. The experiences of that day say plainly to the canoeist as well as to other people "Don't try to do it all the first day," for we nearly exhausted ourselves by paddling 13 hours against the strongest o'f head winds, finding in the end that we had made only 44 miles. Tor the rest of our journey we contented ourselves with an average of only S3 or 34 miles per day, for the head winds continued and seemed to back, crab-like, ahead of us all the way down." To add to the difficulty the current was almost nothing, owing to the low stage of water. Three cold meals we munched in the narrow cock-pits of our canoes that day. as we watched the shores glide slowly by. Factory after factory, mill after mill, out of Pittsburg, and further down, hill after hill and cliff after cliff, with a good deal of wildness and an occasional small Pittsburg, with more mills for iron, brick, paper or chinaware. A steamboat packet or tow now and then; and Oh, yes, the dynamite boat The.red flag over that lone man in the small skiff had a strange fascination for us, but it waved us awav as plainly as could the "unclean, unclean!5' of the leper of old. That man had in his little boat a deadly load. He was the bearer of the dreaded nitro-glycerine from the factory, up somewhere at the head of the Allegheny, to the oil fields at Belmont, ISO miles below Pittsburg, where it is used in "shooting the wells." Night and day the lone ressenger bears his treacherous burden, that no steam boat or train will carry. He stops not an hour to eat or sleep. He touches neither shore, and avoids ,the "rollers'" of the big steamboats, darting from side to side to keep away. Nor do the steamers court proximity. Thev know that one bump of that skiffon a rock or shoal would blow skiff, man, steamboat, rock yes, almost that everlasting hill itself into atoms. That boat had a queer sort of fascination for us especially for Chris. He wanted to get aboard and talk to thetoan. "We tried hard to find a glycerine factory. Chris wanted to know all about it But no body seemed to know where one was. They hide them away in out-of-the-way mount ainous places, where no man comes. Cuxions Cries rrom the Shore. It was curious to hear the cries that greeted us from the shores as we passed. However, only once were we cursed and blackguarded. Eiver people may be, no doubt are, rough and hard characters, but a little civility never failed to purchase us good will and all the information and as sistance they could command. "We found the river people ofall kinds factory hands, ierrymen, nsnermen, snantyboat men, steamboat men ready to assist us. The good-humored greetings and jokings froin. tne snores were oi an Kinds, hut the most frequent was "Paddle your own canoe!" "We were surprised to know how widely the oldjlineis known. It was about sunset on that first day when a little fellow chirped it at us in a shrill key, and then jumped into a skiff and pad dled outto us. We asked him the cause of a gathering of people on the shore there, near a little, lonesome village. "Eloater," answered he tersely. "Say, what'll you take fer yer john-boat?" Floater! It made us creep, but Chris was in for going ashore, and I could only feebly protest and follow after. He was'a work mgman, four weeks drowned. His friend, standing by to identify him, spoke the words, "Yes, that's him," just as we landed. "How do you know him?" "By his clothes and beard." Nobody said anything more, except the undertaker, who cursed the men for being slow with the wagon. "We didn't stay long. Night soon set in, and the moon seemed be hindhand. We traveled on in silence; each knew what ailed the other. We could see only mat uioaiea, uiscoiorea Doay. unris tried which the desperate Cqlonel had plunged to escape his savage pursuers, (He was killed years later and liis heart eaten). And so, from old Port Duauesne, where Washington scouted and fought, down past Point Pleasant, where was waged one of the -Moodiest of Indian battles in America, past Marietta, past the Kentucky home and haunts of Daniel Boone, we followed the watery dead line of early Indian wars. Is it strange that the joking cry of the farmer boy struck a Eerious vein in our thoughts? Queer people you meet on the river; but perhaps the most interesting of all are the "shanty-boat" tribe. We had had a long, hard morning's pull against head winds and had made little progress, were behind time, and were discouraged. We were passing the lone shanty boat of a river tradesman, tied up to shore, waiting for the wind "to lay." The Tortoise and the Rabbit Chris hailed him and asked leave to boil coffee on his stove. I expected a rebuff, but the trader cordially invited us to "walk in, .gentlemen; youseem rather fagged. Set down, set down. I seen you uns a passin' us above t'other day, but this old tortus runs night and day and gits ahead of the rabbit sometimes while you're- taking a nap." And so the loquacious old chap ran on. Glad of a rest, we stayed and drifted with him some .10 or 12 miles that night, bunking on a pile of bags in a corner. To be sure the wily old fox turned our visit to his. profit He proved Jo us plainly, by river logic, what our experience had already snown mat we naa certain cumDrous Dag- gage tha; ought to be disposed oi, and he bought it of us for a song, "just to accom modate you uns, you know; I'm allers a-buy-in' a lot o' no-account truck, just to help folks out" Very likelvl But the information he gave proved so valuable, his bacon tasted so good, that night spent with him drifting and resting was so pleasant what did I care if it was all a scheme to strike a trade. Long into the night I sat with him as he steered, his clumsy craft and shouted his queerly qua vered, songs. Finally he lapsed into silence. The frogs took up the song and had a monopoly, ex cept for the gurgling Of the water and the distant baying of a hound. I was just ready to feel romantic and silently soliloquizing the moon, when I heard a loud whisper irom the other end ot the shanty-boat, as one of the trader's young hopefuls said to his brother, "Say, Bill, let's take the skiff and go ashore and steal that hound bark ing. "Shet up, you young rascal," said the old man, never losing his good humor. "You've cot doss enouzh a' ready to start a Noah's Ark. What do yer want with any more? You roll in." Denizens of tho Shanty-Boats. Many kinds of people inhabit these shanty-boats. These boats are built at a cost of from f 20 up to 5200 or 5300. The ground to build on is free. There is no rent to pay. There is change of air and scenery. One house serves for winter and summer residences the current and towboat carry ing you back and forth. You can always be. traveling, yet always at home. Your liveli hood is gained sometimes one way, some times another who questions? A, man builds such a home, puts his family aboard; or, if he has no family, gets a cook if be chooses. "For," said the old trader, with a "hee-hee" and a nudge, "you can allers get a cook. There's plenty to go along. And you can trade her off for another whenever you git tired of her." Then he drifts lazily during the summer, fishing, trapping, steal ing and making his way to warmer climes as winter approaches. Far down at Ney Orleans or elsewhere, spring finds him and he sells out to return, or tows back with some fleet of barges, to begin again. Or a trader will load up at Pittsburg or Cincinnati with drygoods, trinkets, "queens ware, everything, and make his way trading with the farmers or trappers, untjl at the end of the journey he has a rich store of bartered goods to sell ere his northward retuni. They are a careless, happy-go-lucky tribe of migrants caririg little for the morrow, "Do you see this little chap?" said a big, rough-bearded fellow to me one day. as he squeezed between his knees a fat, freckled, chuggy, grinning little cub. "Well, he's 5 years old, bom on the river, and he likes it better'n any other place. Don't you, hey Johnny?" And so they eat their day's food, sleep in their floating homes, saw their old broken fiddles or pump wheezy accordeons, and are happy. Or sometimes, as we often saw, an honest mechanic will build a cozy floating house, furnish it in comfortable style and moor it near his factory, saying rent and owning his home. Queer people you see on the river and queer things. Ir was a long, hard pull, bnt pleasant and profitable withal, and Chris and I wouldn't exchange that 600. miles of travel for a good deal.

Jimmiel Lookl Look!" and I thought of how often that cry now ut tered in fun had rung out in, sober earnest in days gone by. All along the shores of this "Beautiful Eiver" the wort of the In dian wars had waged. Near where the boy now stood was once the cabin home of a cul tured young "Virginian and his bride.

She lived with her sisters in good style in a handsome resi dence. She was really the head of the house, her mother being dead. Some years ago Miss Fitzgerald was engaged to be mar ried, but her betrothed was taken ill and died. It was a great shock to her, and for a long time she avoided the comnanv of men. About five venrst ptrn Edmund O'Brien, a dashing young fellow of nne torm ana nanasome ieatures, was en gaged as coachman. He was so attentive and industrious that he was soon made a sort of an overseer. O'Brien always drove the family carriage and accompanied Miss Mary on her shopping tours, but nobody thought they had any at tachment for each other. For the last few weeks, however, their relations have at tracted attention and Dame Rumor was very busy. Matters were becoming so uncomfort able that Miss Mary visited her Uncle Ed mund to-daj; and confessed that she had quietly married O'Brien on April 22. Her sisters are very indignant and Mrs. O'Brien has left them. She says that she is satisfied and noboby else ought to find fault O'Brien is his bride s junior Dy a dozen years at least ."Wesley, son of Mr. M. P.
