Maybrick and Von Roques Claim Virginia Lands Worth 7.5 Million
Reports from Richmond say Mrs Florence Maybrick and her mother the Baroness Von Roques may lose 2,552,902 acres in Kentucky and West Virginia valued about 7.5 million unless Maybrick is released from English prison to testify in a Virginia chancery case. The suit, by Hayden & Yarnea, accuses attorney W D Armstrong of fraudulently obtaining deeds for the baroness and daughter. The attorney general of West Virginia also seeks to remove their title to the coal lands, and the case will be heard in Cabell county. Maybrick's lawyers press for ambassador Choate to secure release to appear in court, citing a U S precedent for an English heir to return for estate protection.
