Michael Maybrick, at the inquest, in answer to the question, “Where did you find the Valentine’s meat juice?” replied: “I found it on a _little table mixed up_ with _several other bottles_.” Note the particularity of this bottle being _mixed up with several other bottles_. Obviously he at this time, only a few days after the event, had a clear picture of the situation in his mind. In corroboration of this testimony that the bottle _he took_ was on the table and _not on the washstand_, there is the testimony of Nurse Callery, who at the inquest stated: “My attention was called by her [Nurse Gore] to a bottle of Valentine’s meat juice, which was on _a table_ in Mr. Maybrick’s room. I took a sample. I don’t know what became of the bottle of meat juice. I saw Mr. Michael Maybrick in the room before going off duty at 4.50 P.M. on Friday, but did not see him take the meat juice away.” Nurse Gore gave her testimony at the inquest _after_ the two others, and deposed that Mr. Michael Maybrick took the bottle from the _washstand_ where I had placed it, thus contradicting Michael Maybrick, and in a way also Nurse Callery, who testified that Nurse Gore called her attention to a bottle on the _small table_. Obviously this difference introduces _two_ bottles; but this would never answer the prosecution, and accordingly Mr. Michael Maybrick at the trial dropped _the table_ sworn to at the inquest and fell in line with Nurse Gore in so far as to say: “It was standing on the _washstand_, and it was _among some other bottles_.” Note that, while he substitutes the _washstand_ for the _table_, he still clings to the _bottles_--a most important circumstance--as it was indubitably shown that there were on the _washstand_ only the “ordinary basins and jugs” (water pitchers). Obviously Mr. Michael Maybrick had not fully comprehended the purpose of the prosecution in “harmonizing” the testimony with that of Nurse Gore; the “bottles” were too clearly in his mind to be dropped without a distinct effort, and he naturally introduced them again; and, to fit in with the Nurse Gore and the amended Mr. Michael Maybrick evidence, Nurse Callery also changed front at the trial, and the _table_ of her inquest testimony is also turned into a washstand. It is in evidence that as late as the 6th of May my husband took meat juice out of a bottle then in the room, the contents of which, however, did not agree with him, and upon the _order of Dr. Humphreys_ its giving was discontinued, he adding that he was “not surprised,” as it was known not to agree with some people. Although this was the doctor’s order, Mr. Edwin Maybrick took it upon himself to procure a fresh bottle, and, distinctly against the same order, Nurse Gore set about to administer its contents. Subsequently a bottle of meat juice, half full, was found in a small wooden box with other bottles (one of them containing arsenic in solution) in my husband’s hat-box.
