A Good story Told by Mnkc Tnrpcy
About Popular Uisliop tVliitukcr.
From the Sun Francisco Post.
One of the most popular ini'ii that ever
lived 111 the state of Nevada wus Bishop
AVhltakor, of the Episcopal church, who
Is now In Pennsylvania, and many stor
k's ure told at his exuetiKe. One of the
best that I have heard is the Incident
that Make Tarpey. the politician, re
lates whenever the good bishop's name
in mentioned.
"Although I'm a Catholic," Bald he,
"and the bishop an Episcopalian, we ul
wuys thought ' a (treat deal of each
other.' There wus nothing that I would
not do for the bishop, so. that accounts
for the fact that I was driving with
him from Ploehe to Dry Valley to help
him raise money with which to build a
new Episcopal church In Plot-he.
"One of the most peculiar characters
In that neighborhood was a man who
wan generally known by the sobriquet
of Billy-be Damn. He earned it by rea
son of the surprising eloquence of his
profanity. He could out swear any man
in Nevada und In those days it took
better than a raw hand at cussing to do
that. Billy wan bald-headed and he was
firmly convinced that the custom of
Imprisoning the hair In a hat was re
sponsible for its loos, For that reason

"As the bishop and I were driving

arm, exclaiming:
" 'Stop! Hold on a minute!"

be Damn -turlng a windlass just below
' the road. As usual, he had no crown on
his hat and the July sun was beating
down on his shiny pate In a way that
threatened sunstroke at least.
"My good main," said the bishop,
"don't you know that this hot sun beat

THE FAMOUS CASE I
OF MRS. MAYBRICK!
Review of the Evidence Adduced Diriaf
Her Trial.
CLAM THAT SHE IS INNOCENT
Kx-Attorney tii'iieral Garland Goes
Over the V bole Testimony aud Co
eludes That Injustice Has Urea
Dave to This Woman by the English
Authorities.
Reapondlns to a pariamentary In
quiry the other day, the British Home
Secretary, for perhaps the thirtieth
time, announced that the Kncllsn gov
ernment had formed no intention of re
opening the case of Mrs. Maybrick, the
American woman wno Is In a Mrmsn
prison charged with husband murder.
Notwithstanding this announcement.
further effort will be made to secure
her release, for the men and women
who are working in her behalf are ac
tuated by that zt-ul and enthusiasm
which, in olden times, made martyrs.
An examination of the entile legal pro
ceedings In the trial of Sirs. Maybrick
has recently been made ut the request of
Secretary oincy by Ueiieral oariauu.
and It will be used as the basis of a
report to congress. In the meantime.
fur public Information, we give space
to the following summary of the facts
in the case, taken from Mr. Garland's
reviews of the trial. We are Indebted
for this summary to the Rochester
Democrat und Chronicle, which is a
staunch believer In Mrs. Maybrlck's In
nocence, and an enthusiastic advocate
of Intervention by this government In
that unfortunate woman's behalt. That
paper says:
"Florence K. Chandler was born In
1st.'. '.She was the duughter of a promi
nent banker of Mobile, William O.
Chandler, the first husband of her
mother, the Baroness de Rogues, who
wus a duughter of Darius Blake Hol
brook, a New York merchant, one of
Cyrus W. Field's partners In laying the
first Atlantic cable. In 1881, she was
married at Norfolk, Virginia, to James
Maybrick, of Liverpool. Mr. Maybrick
wus at this time a man 44 years of age,
made prematurely old by the reckless
excesses of a fast life, and addicted to
the hubltui'l use of powerful stimu
lants and tonics. He was known by
his Norfolk acquaintances to be an ar
senic eater and took regularly a tonic
medicine of which arsenic Is u princi
pal ingredient.
MOVED TO LIVERPOOL.
"After several years' residence in
Norfolk the Mayhrlcks removed to
Liverpool. On April 27, 1SN1I, Mr. May
brick. who for a long time had been ail
ing and taking unusually lurge quan
tities of his tonics and stimulants, went
to a race meeting on horseback, was
caught In a rainstorm, got wet through
and stayed out very late, dining not
wisely but too well with some friends.
The next day he was. naturally, very
HI. Mrs. Maybrick called in two well
known physicians who, with the aid of
professional nurses, attended him con
stantly until his death, which occurred
at 8.40 o'clock on the evening of May 11,
1889. Early In the morning of that day
Mrs. Maybrick fell Into a speechless
swoon which lasted- 'for forty eight
hours, arid from the effects of which
she wan prostrated until May 18. Im
mediately after his death two Ignorant
maid servants, great admirers of Mr.
Maybrick, and great enemies of Mrs.
Maybrick. expressed their valuable
opinion that the 'misses had poisoned
the master' to Edwin and Michael Mav-
biick, brothers of the dead man. who
had always disliked their American
sister-in-law. They Instantly called in
the police. Search was made und 'ar
senic enough to poison fifty men' was
found, every grain of It. It should be
noted. In apartments and receptacles
tnai were exclusively Mr. Maybrlck's.
On the strength of this evidence' Mrs.
Maybrick was placed under arrest on
May 14. She was still seml-unconsclous
and unable to leave her bed, but police
men were posted at her bedroom door
and she was not allowed to see any one
alone. On May IS. no testimony having
yet been taken by the coroner us to the
cause of Mr. Maybrlck's death, she was
taken to Jail. She was not ullowed to
be present at any stage of the inquest.
On June 6 Mr. Davis, to whom the liver,
stomach and Intestines of the deceased
hud been submitted for examination,
reported that no traces of arsenic hud
been found In the stomuch or Its con
tents, that oiie-tll'tleth or a grain of ar
senic (the twentieth part of a fatal
dose) hud been found in the liver, and,
in the Intestines, 'truces not weighnble,
not enough to kill a humming bird '
On the strength of this Mrs. Mavbrick
was committed for trial on the charge
of wilfully murdering a confirmed ar
senic, eater.
HER TRIAL.
"On June 13th she was brought before
the committing magistrate and heard
for the first time the testimony against
her. Her trial begun at Liverpool July
..I, uuiore mr. justice Stephen and
a jury made up of three plumbers, a
wood-turner, a provision dealer, a gro
cer, two farmers, uu ironmonger, a
baker, a puluter and a milliner. The
trial lusted eU-ht days, six of which
were consumed by the witnesses and
counsel and two in the dellverv of his
charge by the judge, who betrayed a
most rxtradurdlnary animus mail list
the prisoner. It would be tedious and
useless to fully rehearse the testimony
hero, but It may be said that, on the
crucial point of the cuse. the medical
testimony was absolutely convincing
that James .Maybrick did not die of ur
scnicul poisoning. It muy be noted, too,
that not one grain of the arsenic found
in Maybrlck's apaiimcnts ami belong
ings was in wuy connected with Mrs.
Maybrick. there was not a scintilla of
evidence that she had ever purchased
it, ever hud It In her possession or ever
even knew of Its presence in the house.
It will be perceived that the prosecu
tion's case had completely broken down
In a vital point and that u verdict of
guilty in this case could not but be a
verdict against evidence. So fully was
this recognized that while the Jury was
out the prosecution admitted that It did
not anticipate a conviction and Mr. Jus
tice Stephen. In a lucid Interval, said to
the clerk: 'It la Impossible to find her
guilty In the fuce of the medical evi
dence.' "But. the Jury, nfter being out only
half an hour, came in with a verdict of
guilty that was u surprise to everybody
and that was universally condemned as
absurd by every eminent physician and
every prominent lawyer in (ireut Bri
tain as well us by the press and by pub
lic opinion.
THE JC'UY DECEIVED.
"It Is essentlul to .the proper under
standing of this cuse that the circum
stances that were influential in leading
the Jury to its most erroneous but still
honest conclusion should be expluined.
First It should be Raid that while there
was. of course, no direct evidence that
Mrs. Maybrick had administered ar
senic to her husband, there was, natur
ally and Inevitably, evidence that she
had opportunities for so doing so, be
cause every wife living under the same
roof with her husband has such oppor
tunities. Further, while there wus no
proof that she purchased the arsenic
found In the house, there was no proof
as to how It came to be where It was
found, which Is the same thing as say
ing that there was no proof that Mrs.
Maybrick was not responsible for Its
presence In the house. There was proof,
too. that Mrs. Maybrick had purchased
and had In her possession other arsenic.
She was proved to have bought a quan
tity, of fly puper containing arsenic. Her
explanation was this: She was desir
ous of getting rid of a disfiguring erup
tion on her face before the date of a
ball sh wished to attend and procured
a medical prescription for the prepara
tion of cosmetic wash. One of the
processes in the preparation of this cos
metic, aa set out in the prescription,
was the soaking of fly paper of the kind
purchased by her. In water. She said
bhe had bought the fly paper for this
purpose and used It only as the pre
scription directed. She testified that
she had lost the prescription and she
was unable to produce as a wKness the
chemist from whom she had procured
the fly paiers and other Ingredients for
her cosmetic. There was evidence
pointing to a motive for the alleged
crime in the evidence of a waiter who
testified t an Improper meeting be
tween Mrs. Maybrick and one Brierly,
who, according to the theory of the
prosecution, was her lover. In a London
hotel. These were all exceedingly sus
picious circumstances. Kvery one of
them has been entirely cleared up. since
the tiial, but that does not affect the
present consideration of their effect on
the minds of the jurymen, which must
have been great
"Another and very strong Influence 'n
misleading the Jury was the extraor
dinary charge of Mr. Justice Stephen.
The present lord chief justice ot Eng
land, who heard the charge, thus de
scribes Justice Stephen's conduct: 'He
passionately Invited the jury to find a
verdict of guilty, taking two days to
sum u:. the first day as Judge and n
the second raged like a violent counsel
for the prosecution against her." So
pasionately and brutally, unfair a
churge hud not been delivered by an
English Judge since Jeffreys. Justice
Stephen's conduct on this occasion was
"O extraordinary a departure from all
judicial custom and from his own ac
customed manner that It was widely
commented upon and regarded as in
explicable until, when Mr. Justice Ste
phen went mad shortly 'after this trial,
it became plain that his extraordmay
charge in the Maybrick case was mere
ly an outbreak of Incipient Insanity.
This crazy exhortation to find the pris
oner guilty of course had a great effect
on the Jury.
ONE JUROR'S CONFESSION.
"How this monstrous verdict wus
reached Is still further explained by the
following statement of one of the Jury
men: 'We could not hear the evidence
very distinctly and, even if we could
have done so, It was impossible to car
ry away with us in our memeoiies the
Important details. We, therefore made
free use of the newspapers and made
our culllngs.' It Is evident that th-j
jury had not caught the meaning and
force of the medical and expert testi
monyJuries seldom do and the Irre
sponsible judge, In his crazy partisan
ship, had pointed out to them what he
so clearly saw himself, to wit: that
it was 'impossible to tind the prisoner
guilty In the fuce of the medical evi
dence.' Public opinion was dead against
Mrs. Maybrick until after the trial. The
newspapers had unanimously con
demned her and were full of false and
sensational stories about the rase and
prejudiced comments upon it.The jurors
were allowed to read the newspapers as
much as they chose, and on the state
ments of the newspaper they found
their verdict. Thus the verdict Is ex
plained, and now no one can advance
the argument 'Oh. It Isn't likely the
Jury would have found her guilty unless
there was something against her.'
"There was nothing against her.
Even with the susplcolus circumstances
already referred to unexplained, Jus
tice Stephen, In his right mind, must
have seen that the testimony made his
duty to so charge that hta remarks to
the Jury would have practically
amounted to a direction to go out and
tome' back with a verdict of not guilty.
Mrs. Maybrick was found guilty, sen
tenced, and has been Beven years an
imprisoned convict, solely because she
was tried by a lunatic Judge.
"Lest the suspicious circumstances
that have been mentioned as affectinff
the Jury may also also affect the mind
of some reader, It may be well to say
that the presence of the arsenic In
Maybrlck's apartments has. since the
trial, been accounted for by the dis
covery of the man who sold to May
brick himself every grain of it in Feb-,
ruary. 18S9; that the lost cosmetic pre
scription and the missing chemist who
sold the Ingredients mentioned therein,
Including the liy-papers, to Mrs. May
brick, have been found, and that the
waiter who testified to the Interview in
the London hotel has confessed that
he lied. Every suspicious circum
stances' has now been swept out of the
ease. There Is not one shadow of Justi
fication for the continued Imprisonment
of Mrs. Maybrick. even in the minds
of the obstinate officials 'ho refuse to
release her. If congress can, by speak
ing out very plainly, do anything to
ward righting this wrong, whose con
tinuance Is almost a great disgrace to
us as to England, let congress do that
thing, even if International courtesy be
verv severly strained. It muy be re
mui'ked that England has shown us no
courtesy at all in this matter."
