WOMAN DIES IN PRISON
MURDER TRIAL RECALLED. LONDON. May 13. Mary Ann Flynn, the 22-year-old domestic servant who five months ago was sentenced to eight years’ penal servitude, died yesterday in Holloway Prison hospital, 24 hours after the birth of her child. Flynn was accused, with Alfred Stratford, 41-year-old labourer, of the murder of Mrs Ada Fortescue in a flat at Shepherd’s Bush. Flynn was convicted of manslaughter. Stratford was sentenced to death but was later reprieved. At the Old Bailey trial it was suggested to the jury that Mary Flynn had been dominated by the man whom she had loved so much that sjie was prepared to give her life to save him. It was reported yesterday that her mother had been advised that she was dangerously ill, and spent the day at her bedside in Holloway Prison.
