James Sr. Was a Dick?

James Sr. was already having several extramarital affairs when he married Florence Maybrick in 1889. He fathered several children with at least one of these affairs. James's thriving business started failing and financial troubles plagued the May bricks. His brothers Michael and Edward were telegram to come see him at home because they were worried about what to do. They found a ton of medicine bottles next to his side of the bed, like just bunches of bottles. Also found mixed among these bottles: some bottles of brandy and some bottles of Valentine's meat extract.
