Iish Averse to Hanging.

London, Oct. 22.-Dr. Hawley H.
Crippen. after a trial extending over
five days. and after thirty minutes de-
liberation by the jury. was today found
guilty of the murder Of his wife, an
American woman known on the stage
as Belle Elmore. Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone. who presided at the trial,
sentenced Crippen to be hanged on
November Is.
There Is. however the strongest
prejudice in England against executing
a man on purely circumstantial evil
dcnce and an incident at the close Of
Crippen's trial has caused the impress
sion that the jury may have recon-
mended a life sentence. After Grip
pen was sentenced to DEATH the FORE
man Of the jury handed to the lord
chief justice a note. After looking at
1t the justice said: THAT shall be for
warded TO the proper quarter"
A large crowd awaited the departure
OF Crippen from New Bailey. There
were few ''boos" as he drove away to
the Pentonville prison. but no other
demonstration.
