By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright JPEU UNITED PRKSS ASSOCIATION. ( ! Received August 20, 10 a.m. London, August 15. Petitions in the Maybrick murder case have been signed by a quarter of a million people. The Lancet, a medical journal, considers the verdict was justified by the evidence. As usual in these cases, Mrs Maybrick has received plenty of offers of marriage, at least seven being known of.
