MODERN BLUEBEARD.
Geo. crossman, Of London Had Eight
Wives,

London, Eng.-Polygamy and its in
fluences over George Crossman. who
had eight or more wives, and the de-
velopments following from the suicide
of Crossman, are absorbing public at
tention. On the night of March 23
Crossman, who was living in the re-
spectacle suburb Of Kensalrise. killed
himself to avoid arrest by the police,
whose suspicious had been aroused
regarding the contents of trunk
which Crossman was sending away
from his house. On opening the trunk
the body Of woman was found en-
cased in cement. An investigation
proved that she was murdered about
six months ago and that she was one
of CHEESEMAN'S wives. Five of his
wives were traced and found alive.
One wife is dead and two are missing.
The body found cemented is in a
decomposed condition, even to the
skull, which had been split with an
axe
The police believe it possible the in
vestigation may prove that Crossman
adopted a similar method in Kidding
himself of other wives, of which it is
suspected he may have had several
who have not yet been traced.
Though only 80 years Of age, Cross
mans career rivals that of famous
criminals. Under various aliases he
led double and even triple married
| life, He was an engineer, composer,
wigmaker or bookmaker.

BRITT IS CHAMPION.
Wins Decision From Young corgett in
Twenty Rounds.

James Britt of California was given
the decision over William Rothwell,
better known as Young Corbett" of
Colorado, in a 20 round contest at San
Francisco. Up to the 18th round Cor
belts advantage was apparent, but in
that round Britt rallied and rained
right and left blows on various por-
lions of Corbetts anatomy. forcing the
champion to clinch to save himself.
The styles of the two boxers were en-
tirely distinctive. Britt fought for the
body most of the time, while Corbett
devoted himself to the face. head and
jaw. Britt weighed just 1923 pounds,
public, though 1t is understood it was
at least a pound and a half below the
agreed weight, 1870 pounds.
Both men fought hard in every
round. Britt, in his crouching atti-
tude, was able to guard his stomach
effectively, though Corbett was able to
land hard on his head and jaw. In the
first few rounds Britt found the Den
yer mans stomach repeatedly, though
his blows lacked steam.
A Great Fight.
1t was without doubt the greatest
fight fought in California. Britt's abil.
ity to assimilate punishment and his
endurance were simply marvellous. At
no time during the 20 rounds did Britt
break ground. He always brought the
fight to Corbett. Britt was severely
punished, yet was at all times willing
to take more, and finally outgamed
the champion. The pace that both
men set was of a nature to make both
tired. However, their condition, after
minutes respite, brought them to the
center of the ring with renewed vigor
Britt was better at the outfighting
Corbett superior in the infighting. Britt
had the best footwork and the greatest
speed. Corbett showed himself the
cleverer fighter at times and the heav.
Ter hitter.
After the fight Referee Eddie Graney
said: 81 simply gave the decision to
the man who had the best Of the
fight"
Up to the 18th round Corbett had
the better of the fight. but from this
round on Britt outfought Corbett al
every stage Of the game.
When Corbett reached his dressing
room he burst into tears.
There were about 5000 people In
attendance. The club officials state
that the receipts would total about
$4,000. which is the greatest amount
ever contested for by fighters Of Cor
belts and Britt's calibre. Included In
the assemblage were prominent sport
ing men from all over the country.
