Mrs. Maybrick's Trial Begun.
Liverpool, Aug. 1.
Mrs. Maybrick, when arraigned for trial, pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering her husband. Mr. Michael Maybrick, brother of the alleged murdered man, admitted that certain bottles which he took from his brother's room did not contain arsenic. There had been quarrels between Mrs. Maybrick and her husband, in which a woman's name was mentioned by the former as being upon too intimate terms with the latter. During these quarrels Mrs. Maybrick had threatened to procure a separation from her husband.
