PITTSBURG, Dec. 21.——1\Iiss Maggie Conlon, the nineteen-ycur—old daughter of a wealthy ’Kittanning wholesale grocer, was sent to the Claremont workhouse for thirty days. I for hurlinga brick through a burber shop .window in this city. About six months ago Maggie was gradu- ated with high honors from a fashionable school in Pittsburg, and in the next few weeks disappeared from luvs-.5. Her parents found her after she had tried to commit suicide by jumping from the Forty—third street bridge. While attending school she rode from home daily on the Allegheny Valley railroad. After a. long flirtation she became infatuated with Peter Boyle, a brakeman, who has a. family. He induced her to come to Pittsburg and live with him, and finally deserted her. The girl’s parents took her home and for- gave all. Somehow she again fell into Boyle’s clutches and came back to Pittsburg with him a few days ago. He again deserted her. When she saw Boyle sitting in a barber shop and was refused admission She hurled a brick through the window. - TIDI DID NOT APPEAR. Neither Did the “‘oman to W'hom He “'11:! to Be llInrricd. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.——Congressman Tim Campbell, who, it was reported from Wash- ington, was to be married Saturday night in this city, did. not put in an appearance. Neither did the lady with whom it was said Tim was to wed. A reporter of the United Press called on Father McGinley, of St. Rose’s church, to learn if the gallant con- grcssman had been seen by the reverend father. He had not. ‘ Father McGinley said, however, that ar- rangements had been made by him to marry Mr. Campbell but that the couple had not yet appeared, and as it was then 10 o’clock Father McGinley announced his intention of going to bed. As the lights in the rectory were put out as the reporter reached the street, it is probable that Father McGinley carried out his intention. Believe Chief Bayes “his; 'Murdercd. GUTHRIE, O. T.. Dec. 51,—A man coming from the Cherokee nation says there is con- siderable excitement in Talilequah over the death of Chief Mayes and Assistant Chief Chambers :1 week ago.

WHY CONVICTION WAS HAD. A Precedent Found W'hich May Qea‘d to Another Trial —-'I‘he Letter Containing Three Fatal \Vords—Guil Hamilton’s Opinion as to Her Citizenship. LoNDON, Dec. 21,—Counsel for the _ May- brick case were selected at Lumley’s office, namely Sir Charles Russell, Sir Henry J amen, Mr. Poland and Mr. Alexander Macdougall. A correspondent saw Mr. Macdougall, who said: “The choice of counsel is remarkably good. Russell and James are well known, while Poland is the finest criminal lawyer in England. In examining archives I found a. valuable precedent for our course in a. case Where a. verdict of guilty was rendered by the crown and afterward was tried againin court. It is the only instance known, but it must have force as a precedent. Her Conviction “’33 Wrong. %“Russell is perfectly convinced that Mrs. Maybrick’s conviction was entirely wrong. He believes that Mr. Justice Stephen tried to be honest in the case, but his own con- viction of the woman’s guilt and a belief that a. popular prejudice existed in her favor influenced his charge. Russell says Stephen passionately invited the jury to their ver- dict and captured their minds, and that it was a trial by judge and not a trial by jury. The prosecuting counsel himself declared a verdict of guilty to be impossible on the evidence. That Fatal Letter, “Russell says that the one sole thing which held the case together was the ‘sick unto death’ letter.” ' Macdougall will remain in London during the holidays working up the case in order - to expedite progress. MIRS. MAYBBICK’S CITIZENSHIP. Gail Hamilton Thinks She Is an Ameri- can—Legal Opinions on the Subject. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Gail Hamilton, Whose efforts originated a movement for the fund raised through a New York paper for the employment of counsel to endeavor to reopen the case of Mrs. May- brick, has written a letter to The‘World in which she says: “I receive so many inquiries as to the pres— ent condition of the Maybrick case that per— haps you will permit me to reply through your columns. “The Baroness de Roques is in London, in daily communication with Messrs. Lumley & Lumley, solicitors, to whom has been given the charge of her case. She reports them as eager, earnest, intelligent men, who are devoting themselves to the preparation of the case, with all its strongest points, for the opinion of counsel—in every particular the men we want—America. wants—to press bravely, eagerly and justly for recognition of our appeal for justice. “She has also secured the good offices of Messrs. Cleavers, who were Mrs. Maybrick’s solicitors in the first trial, and of Sir Charles Russell, the eminent barrister who pleaded her cause before Judge Stephens. As these gentlemen are familiar with the facts, have much valuable and pertinent information in their possession and have their laurels yet to win in tho Maybrick case, we may hope for great advantage from their co-opera- tion. “Besides the sum originally sent to Mrs. Maybrick’s mother to aid her in attempting ,t-o reopen the case, I hold $80.25 subject to her order. “The Baroness do Roques has been in- formed that as a widow Mrs. Maybrick’s English citizenship lapses and she resumes her American nationality. This seems to me a point of great importance, and, if rightly taken, of great advantage. Iwish your columns might give us legal opinions upon it.” Fuller Gains His Point. NEW HAVEN, Dec. 21.—Notice has been filed with Clerk Austen of the decision of the supreme court in the case of the Metro- politan Insurance company, of New York, versus Austin B. Fuller, of this city. The court dissolves the injunction on the de- fendant restraining Fuller from prosecuting claims for insurance money on policies bought from insured people.
