Party at Capital,

Washington, Sept. 26-The cabinet
house party at the White House is in
full swing tonight. Eight of the nine
members of the Presidents official fam
iIy moved In today. They held formal
session In the cabinet room Of the execu-
tive Offices during the forenoon and con-
tinued their informal discussion or al

cabinet officers returned to their respec-
tive departments. but gathered again at
the White House for dinner and long
evening talk on the south veranda.
The Presidents forthcoming appoint
ments to the supreme court were the
chief topic Of discussion today. They
were taken up as soon as the informal
exchange OF summer experiences was
completed and after the department
heads had made brief reports as to con-
ditions in the various branches of the
government service.
II is expected there are no outstanding
candidates for the supreme court vacan-
cies. The President is keeping his mind
omen. He has discussed and will continue
to discuss the various qualities or men
who have been suggested for the bench
but there Is little chance that his final
selections will he made much before the
time for Congress to convene In Decem-

From the time 1t meets in October until

has happened to change the well-founded

made chief justice. but his denomination

So Says Coroner's Jury
In the Murder Case.
Evidence As TO Identity Of The
Body Unusually Slim.
coroner's Jury Have No Jurisdlc'
ton Of Miss lie neve's Case.

London, Sept. 2G.-The coroner's
iury. after an hours deliberation to-
day, brought in the verdict that Mrs.
Cora Crippen, known on the stage as
Belle Gilmore, had been Wilfully MUIR
dered by her husband, DR.. Hawley II.
Crippen, an American dentist. After
listening to the testimony which was
spread over several days and hearing
the summing up of the case by Coro-
ner Schroeder, who summarized the
evidence pointing to the murder, the
jury was left but little choice. The
police are hunting for a witness and
expect to identify Belle Elmore's body
through the agency of piece of flesh
found to contain a scar.
In summing up the case this after
noon, the coroner said that the evil
dence presented concerning the iden-
tity of the buried body was unusually
slim but that there was little doubt
that the remains were human. AL
though the physicians frankly said
that they could not swear as to the
sex on anatomical grounds, they
agreed, the coroner declared, that all
indications pointed to the mutilated
flesh being that of a woman. He point
ed out that Belle Gilmore had com
pletely disappeared and that the body
had been found in her husbands cell
lar
Other evidence as to the identity OF
1.-THE body, the, coroner contendeds was
the testimony given by several womer
| that Belle Gilmore bore scar and that
| the doctors had reached the conclusion
| that a mark found on piece of Skin
| had been a scar. He also spoke o.
| finding with the remains a piece OF
| hair showing signs of having beer
| bleached and drew attention to the
| finding of hyoscin in the body and tC
the purchase of this drug by DR.. Grip
pen.
The coroner further recalled to the
jury the varying stories Dr. Grip
pen told after the disappearance OF
his wife and to his own disappearance
with Miss LIE Neve.
| AS to Miss lie Neve's position thu
coroner told the jurors that it was NJ
duty of theirs to consider the question
of accessory after the fact.
| The jury remained out just one hOul
and on returning announced the YER
| dict that the remains We're those OF
)Crippen's wife and that she had beer
wilfully murdered by the American
dentist. adding that hyOscin poisoning
was the cause of death.
