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? Moreover, the po
lice themselves to a man, whether employed
and controlled by local authdrities"br not,
would repudiate Deing the representatives
in our courts of anyone except the Queen,"

"It is the personal duty of every individual

but as a duty of self-protection, to watch

to scrutinize jealously the conduct of those
who are intrusted with the administration

and the proceedings as they appear in tie

tion may throw light upon the subject of

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:

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

in all moods, at all points, and we're ready
to stand by the man who named it
The Memorable First Day.

due to justice;
But call me guiltless, then my punishment

"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

"Third The bringing to justice of any

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.

the river ahead, and we could see her bank
of lights. "We held our breath, for we could
tell neither where she was heading, nor
where was the shore. She finally passed us
safely, only shakingus up a bit, and we
heaved a sigh of relief as we swung round
the lower end of Black's Island and saw
the lights of our stopping place glimmer on
the shore. At the same time the moon
arose, and our spirits arose with her. So
ended our first and hardest day. After that

Another queer crv that rather startled na
one day was uttered by a farmer boy. As
he caught distant sight of us he ran down the
"bank, waving his hands and shouting, "In

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

Jfot ten miles above that boy was the
home of Logan, the famous Mingo Chief. A
few miles further up, at Yellow Creek, the
family of Logan had been murdered by the
whites. Still a little further up we had
passed the hillside where Adam Poe and

river, and finally in the Indian's death. A

tSrECXil TELEGRAM TO THE DISr-ATCII.J
Tbot, May 31. Mary Agnes Fitzgerald
is the eldest daughter of the late Michael
Fitzgerald, who established the Garryowen
brewery, of which ex-Mayor Fitzgerald is
now the sole proprietor. 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
