murder against Dr. Hawley II. crippen,
the American dentist, in connection with
the finding in the Crippen Hilldrop cres.
cent house last July Of the body Of
Crippen's wife, who was known on the
stage as Belle Elmorc.

OF the buried body was unusually slim,
but that there was little doubt that
the remains were human.
Although 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 mutiIated flesh being that
OF a woman. He pointed out chat Belle
Gilmore bore a scar, and that the doctors
had reached the conclusion that mark
found on a piece Of skin had been a
scar.
He also spoke Of finding with the re-

to the finding Of hyosciuc in the body
and to the purchase Of this drug by DR..

friends here on that day or off,
