Dr. Helen Densmore, the energetic president of the Women's International Maybrick society, will spend the winter in California, pnshing the work of the organization at wbose head sbe is. She is quoted in the Boston Horald lately as saying : "We have deterrnined to no longer ask anythingof the Englisb government, but to force it to action by public sentiment. That is a power that even the English governinent cannot withstand. At the time of Mrs. Maybrick 's trial there was a general outory against the unfairness of her trial and against her sentence, protest npon protest coming from judges, lawyers and government officials. I believe that this great miscarriage of justice will fill a most interesting page in the future history of English criminal jurisprudence and will be considered a disgrace to it. All we ask is a rehearing of the case by the home office. This it could do without releasing her, while, on the other hand, if she were guilty, it would be justified in keeping her. The new evidence ín Mrs. Maybrick 's favor has been sent to the horne office, which deigns not to make reply. Had this evidence been presented at the trial Mrs. Maybrick could never have been convicted. "
