CRIPPEN
CASE MAY
COLLAPSE
OF EXPERT SAYS NO
CERTAINTY ABOUT REMAINS
FOUND BEING THOSE OF A
HUMAN BEING-CAsE is VERY
WEAK.

London, Sept. 14.-In the dingy
Bow street police court today DR..
Pepper, government analyst, under
the searching cross-examination of
Attorney Arthur Newton, repudiated
his former testimony in the Crippen
case, declaring that it was impossible
for him to determine the sex Of the
lime-eaten body found in the base
ment Of the house occupied by the
Crippens in North London.
DR.. Pepper said that the only way
to determine the question of sex was
by an analogical Investigation, and
that with the mutilated parts of the
body discovered no geneuine deter
mination of the question could be
reached in that way.
He believed, he admitted, that
when he first saw the portions of
the body that the remains were those
of some animal. 1t required close
examination, he said, to determine
that they were parts of human
body, That there could be no mis-
take, however, after the examination
was once made, he declared positive
ly.
''I saw my error" said Or. Pepper,
referring to the admission that he
had at first believed The body to be
that of an animal. "There is no ques-
tion that the body is that of a hui
man being There could be no mis-
take about that. ] believe that the
remains are those of a woman, prob
ably Of middle-aged woman of
rather large proportions. This is in
dicated, and ! may say almost estab-
lished beyond doubt, by the fact of
the operation of hyoscin poisoning
DR.. Copper said that the day after
the body was found, July IS, he and
DR.. Marshall, one of the experts for
the crown, performed a post-mortem
examination eliminating all doubt in
regard to the body being that of a
human being.
Then. Attorney Newton began his
discrimination. DR.. Pepper made
damaging admissions, leaving the
identity of the body dependent on
strands of hair found in curriers' near
the place where the remains were
discovered, and on another lock of
hair found in handkerchief. Dr.
Pepper admitted that the hair found
in the curriers' was dark, while that
in the handkerchief was of light
color.
DR.. Pepper had previously main
tanned that Identity was established
beyond doubt.
Admissions made later in the morn
ing when the crowns expert DR..
Marshall, tok the stand, leave the
question of the identity Of the body
still in doubt, Identification, accord

 Mir. Adams was deeply affected by the disaster. He drove ont to his ranch in the morning to rest after the exciting work immediately fol- lowing the breaking out of the fire. In the afternoon he returned to the scene and watched the progress of the work and the opening of the big hotel safe and the clearing away nf the debris. He said little At one time he looked at the swaying wall and remarked: ''l wish they would topple over that wall before it falls on some one"
 Mir. Adams was planning an addi- ton to the hotel to cost S7O.NO0 and add about seventy rooms He in- tended to begin work on this in short time and have it ready for fall occupancy. IL is the general opinion of business men that a new hotel. to cost at least a quarter of a million dollars, will rise on the site of the destroyed one. Adams has made a success of the business and will un- doubtedly be able to obtain all nec- essary funds. if he should require them, for hotel costing several times the original cost of the old one.
