The following London telegram, dated May 18th, which appears in an American Paper, gives some fuller details of a mys terious poisoning case referred to in our cable messages recently:— Mrs Maybrick, a niece of Jefferson Davis, and a French Canadian aristocrat by birth, has been arrested at Liverpool on a charm of poisoning her husband. Mayhrick's brother Michael, known as Stephen Adams, a musical composer, and other relatives, hesitated to act in regard to the report- ciiculated as to the cause of death. To-day County Magistrate Colonel Biddell, accompanied by the Chief of Police, went to the Maybrick residence. They were told that the lady was ill in bed. Medical men were summoned, and after an examination they pronounced her fit to hear the charge. Her sister demanded to know the nature of the evidence. The Chief of Police re sponded that he had grave evidence that the woman had gi?en arsenic to her husband from time to time. The officials went to the bedroom where the woman lay, haggard, but composed. The Magis trate directed that she be removed to Kirkdal Gaol, where she is now being attended by doctors and a nurse. The case has caused a great sensation.
