ACQUITTAL
FOR CRIPPEN
London Criminal Lawyers Do
Not Believe Murder Charge
Will Hold
PRISONERS COUNSEL
OUTLINES D..En%E

BY United Press Leased Speci.l W're
LONDON. Aug. 22.-From Solicitor
Newton, attorney for Dr. II. II. Grip
pen who is now enroute from Quebec
to London to undergo trial for the
murder of his wife. Belle Gilmore, the
United Press today secured the first
outline Of the defense
Emotional appeals to jury, such as
figure in American courts. Newton
declared. will not be made. From his
standpoint, the case appears substan-
TALLY as follows:
Fragments of a human body were
dug up IN the cellar Of the house OF
DR. Croppen. The police say ;hs
bricks under which these fragments
wera found had recently been dis
turbed. but expert evidence will be
forthcoming that 1t is impossible for
anyone tC determine this point. as
suming that the bricks had been un-
touched tor as long as n month
Dr Pepper, the government analy-
sist, has stated that he has identified
the remains as those of a woman, but
DR.. Marshall who conducted the post
norton testified before The coroner
that he could not swear as to the
question of sex. and IL is doubtful
If DR.. Peppers belief can be sub
stamiated under cross examination.
AT any rate it seems certain that
the prosecution will fail 10 make good
its claim that the fragments were
those of a woman who once under
went an operation, the overwhelming
weight Of medical evidence being that
il is a sheer impossibllity to find such
traces in remains IN the condition 81
those discovered in the Hilldrop Crcs-
cent residence.
The police expect 20 N Ike much OF
the fact that Crippen ~ known to
have pawned jeweiIy belonging TO his
! wife after her disappearance but tbs
defense Newton says will show that h'
Vas for years constantly pawnine an'
redeeming this jewelry.
: AS to the signifcapce Of crippen'
night with Miss lencye mis- typist, "a
defense win point cut that it was pei
fectly natural for the doctor, IN vie
>, of his wifes admittedly mysteriot
u disappea ance, to feel that he wa
under suspicion and that il was b
no means surprising for him to shrin
from a police inquiry.
The defense will make the most q
the fact that Inspector Dew faile
to find enough evidence against Crir
;. pen i'm his first examination o. Oh
z doctor OF warrant an arrest.
The finding of the human remain
5 and the flight of the doctor are IN
=, only. possible bits of evidence the pro
secufion mas. Newton contends.
The only real evidspea.' - he saws
r is that Crippen ran away AMI upoi
that point the prosecution mus taH'
its ent're Lght.
'rhe consensus of legal opinio'
70 here Is that Unless the police have
&. far s'roagcr chain of evidence th"l
a aas "a! been indicated, the CO lrt W.
actually grd,r The release =; Cris
, pcn Some rminal lewycrs are ever
! bntting . to / that Crip9en Will b
acquitted
! ! Newton will not say who is pay
! ing for Crippen's defense, but say
: he is literally supplied with funds
Crippen is counted fortunate in his sc
lection of Newton who is general
considered the cleverest criminal law
yer in England.

EVENTS THE COUNTIES BORDERING FRANCISCO
MACHINE SAID TO
FORECAST QUAKES
Prof. Joseph Voyle Says New
instrument Will Tell of Tenn
blors Days Before Shocks

BERKELEY, May 26.-After years of
experimentation and investigation,
Prof. Joseph voyle, we'll known chem
ist and physicist, who was formerly
president of the Berkeley society for
psychical research, has announced the
discovery of an instrument which will
IoreWarn the approach of earthquakes.
PROFESSOR Voyle declares that he
now has the delicate instrument COM
pieted and has already sent announce
ment OF his discovery to the Smith
sonian institution and the Carnegie
foundation for the advancement of
science. Neither institution has as
yet replied to his communications.
The Berkeley chemist declared today
that he had been working on the in
strument for the forewarning and de-
lection of earthquakes for several
years. He began the making of the
delicate mechanism before the San
Francisco shake, but his laboratory was
destroyed there in the fire, and with
1t all his materials for finishing the
apparatus.
He said that the instrument records
the approach of quakes by recording
impressions like a seismograph re-
ceived from lines of force, which are
moved days in advance of the shake,
he says. Each quake, according to
Voyle's theory, causes a changing of
these lines of forces, and makes itself
manifest from 4S to y hours before
the actual temblor.
The sensitive needles which he has
prepared readily respond to the action
along these lines of force, and hence
detect the coming quake days in ad-
vance, when cosmic forces are begin
ming to operate.
