These papers show that Ashford's sister Is a marchloneso , her mnlden name being ElIzabeth lowers. Ashrord's L renl name was George I relerlck Flowers. The papers and letters disclose the fact that the Flowers family Is possessed of great w ealtim . and that n sister of the murderer , wie to Ethel lowers , Asimforil's 5ecoIII I daugbter , a largo estate In Englatiti. She 1 cnmo Into her estate on her 18th bIrthmday This accounts for the remark ot Ashrorl : : " Vhmen I nm gone all but gthel will hnve to wi beg on the streets , " also for his ntemlJL to shoot every one or his chidren but Ethel Ashford on being reprlunnled for resentIng - Ing some prison discipline slid Indignanty : You fellows \\1 find out who 1 am before ; this trIal Is o\'er.

The Peerage gives no clew as to who ' this famous sister of the murderer might be. The name Flowers does not apepar In i the peerage at all . and the name Flower only appehrs In 'one instance , and In this case there appears to be nothing to connect the ' tamOy with the man In custody here , except 'f or two insignifIcant coincidences. When the n urderer entered the army , accordIng to the story told today , lie chose nn IrIsh regiment In i which to ; enlist and the name that ho took was Ashford. The one lone Flower who appears - pears In the Peerage Is an Irish peer and his nnme Is Viscount Ashbrook. But there docs not appear to have been any lady In the tnmly iv imo marrIed n mnrquls Another pllnt which an examination ot the Peerage dIscloses Is I i hat there Is no one of tile marquises now ' lving l who married a lady with the no'i Floler or Flowers. .
