Sic Charles forred 'theý doctora to admit that deatb might have been the result oI "natural causes" Speaking froin the dock (until 1898 defeudants ýw cc not allowcd to gîve evideuce- on oath) Mrs. Maybrick stated that sbe had put a pow dem in the meat-juice at the urgent requcat of her busbaud. Whether this was truc or not, Russell had proved that aIl the evideuce brought by' the Crown couid cqually well'point to natural causes aud lie avas, therefore, justi- fied in telling the jury: "There is n'o sale rcstiug place on which ynu can justify a finding that thÏis was a death of arsenical poiso'ding.", After a rather muddied summing- up by the judge the'jury brought in a verdict cf guilty, but as a cesult of public outccy sentence of deatîx asas later communted to life im- prisoument, On the evidence (and a jury bas n business to cousider anything isc) theme seemas littie doubt that Florence Maybrick was innocent. So, according to Mr. Litgarten, was Edith Thomponu in the lamons case ina lvig fbcrsclf and Frederick Byw aters. Late ou a Marcb cvcning of 1922 Mr. and Mca.

Despite the fact that the wouuds ou bis body w ccc plain for ail ta sece, Mca.

Confconted witb hem lover at the police station Edith broke dowu and Bywater, though denyiug mnurder, admitted the knife assanît. This was obviouslý enough ta bang hian, and duly proved sa. But the police were not satisfied; tbey chamged Edith witb murder as well. Since Bywaters, not she, had stcuck the blow the Crowu bad ta prove that he bad doue it witb hem knowledge and at bier direction, To do this they relied on a number of of ber letters found in Bywater's room, Iu tbese there werc refer- ecres to desperate action, to poýw- dered glass and to somethingý bit- ter in ber husband's tea.

For to lice a life aprtin "an eudless romautir taie" is one thiug; and tointend a man's death "), to arrange for someone eIse to compa6s it is quite another. The jury were not couvinced, or eIse refused to see thîs distinction and sent Edith Thomnpsoi to the gallows. Were the jury prejudiced?
