Lord Alverstone pronounced the SEN
tence of death and the warders again
held out their arms to- support the pris-
oner. He ignored their proffered as
sistance. and, turning. walke firmly
from the room. stopping -only once ana
then for a brief moment, to take a last
look at the court room within which he
had fought for his life.
The building was soon cleared ana
the news of the conviction spread to
the streets adjacent to the New Bailey,
where. however, the crowd was not so
great today as it was on the earlier
days of the trial.

II was expected that the Crippen
murder case would be concluded today
with the jury's verdict. and as q conse-

the New Bailey before the doors were
opened.
Crippen Recalled.
When the proceedings We're resumed
LORI Chic Justice Alyerstone called
Crippen to the stand and asked him
questions regarding the use of hyoscin,
the poison with which it is charged the
accused killed his wife.
The Justice elected the information
that hyoscin was administered through
the mouth and also hypodermically.
Richard Muir then began the closing
/. speech for the prosecution. He said
that the defense had relied largly on
the theory T at Crippen was too kind
hearted to commit murder. Counsel
pointed out that the defendant had,
however, lived for months a life Of
hypocrisy, moc1ing the grief Of his
wife's dearest friends.

had proved beyond a reasonable doubt
that the body found ii Crippen's home
was that or ms wife. Belle Gilmore, tho
actress, and thai none but the prisoner
could have cut W the body and buried
it in the cellar
LORD Ciiiet JuEtiee Alverstone began
his summing up Of the case as soon as
Mr. NNri~ had concluded.
The justice described Crippen as an
extraofdinafy man, whether guilty or
innocent. II guilty he had covered up
a CHASTITY crime in a ghastly way and
il was believed, III a most brutal and
Gallons manner. II he vas innocent 1t
was Impossible To fathom his mind,
AS hi was absolutely Indifferent TO me
cnarge OF murder. He had taken no
step whatever to prove his innocence
Cripper.. the justice declared, undoubt-
edly was a liar and had lived an Inn
moral life. but, he added, the jury
could not convict the defendant on
that score. II must be quite convinced
that the, human parts found were from
the body Of Belle Elmore, and that her
death was caueed by a wilful act -
the prisoner,
The Judge asked whether it was pos
slhls fer C1ippen TO carry on a cam
paiyn Uf instrumentation for six
months except with the knowledge that
his wife was not alive, or If it was pos
siblc that If Belle Elmore was living
she could be so abominally mean that,
knUwing her husbands present posi-
tion, she would not communicate WIN
