DEFENSE AT THE
CRIPPEN TRIAL
Opinion That Crown Has
Failed to Make Out a
Strong Case

By United Press Leased Special Wire
LONDON, Oct. 2O-The Crown
closed at / o'clock this afternoon the
prosecution of DR.. II. H. Crippen, and
the dapper little American doctor at
once prepared to take the stand i'm
his own defense. II was expected
that he would enter an emphatic de-
NAL TO all the charges.
There was general belief about the
court room that the Grown had failed
TO make out a strong case. Thus
far il has been unable to prove posi-
lively the identity or sex Of the body
found in Crippen's home.
TO-day's testimony for the Crown
was a repetition of that brought out
in the preliminary hearings
Barrister A. A. Tobin, I'm opening
for the defense, declared it was his
intention to prove that the remains
found in the Crippen home We're not
those of Mrs. Crippen. lt is believed
the defense will seek to do this by
/ proving that what was thought TO
have been a scar on the body was not
a scar 1t was by this scar that the
/ remains were sought to be indentiheo
as those of Mrs. Crippen.

RICH WIFE
FOR MANUEL
Believed DethrOned King Will

LONDON. Oct. 20.-Accompanied Dy
his mother. Queen Amelie, ana ms
suite. Manuel, deposed King of Portu-
gal. is to-day housed at Wood Norton
Fversham, Worcestershire, the estate
of the Duke of Orleans. In the eN-
roval party are the Duke OF Orleans,
the MARQUIS de Several. the Portuguese
minister, and Senor Nillay Urrutia, the
Spanish ambassador.
Manuel and Amelie reached Ports
mouth at z o'clock last night on the
English royal yacht Victoria and Al
bert and Immediately embarked for
Wood Norton. There was no saluting
and no public reception. Both Manuel
and his mother were very pale and
worried.
Now that Manuel is safely refuged
in England, people are wondering
what is to become of the King with
out a job" II is the general belief
i'm court circles that Manuel will soon
be on the lookout for a rich American
bride.
1t was even suggested while Manuel
had a throne that he might take a
wealthy American girl for his wife,
but this was impossible, as King, Man
uel could we'd no woman not of royal
birth Desperately as he needed
money, Manuel needed more the po-
litical strength that would have come
from favorable royal marriage
Now. however. the Ameri an wife
talk IS regarded as serious. Where
once Manuel needed political strength,
he now needs money more. IL was
believed that shortly before the up
rising the Braganzas had invested
considerable money abroad. This is
untrue Manuel had no money to in
vest His father. King Carlos had
been such a loose spender, that Man
uel had trouble making both ends
meet.
The Queen Mother, Amelie, is COM
fortahly fixed financially. She has q
large private fortune, quite apart from
the Portuguese revenues. But whai
Amelie has she needs for herself, TO
she is a most extravagant woman. Sh
will take care of Manuel as long a
she can. but she would like to Sc
him self supporting ard 8 rich vii
appears the only solution.
Marriage with a wealthy royal prin
cess is now almost out Of the ques
I ton. OF course, 10 marry a woma
outside the royal circle would foreve
bar Manuel from the throne. but ther
seems to be no hope that he will eve
get a throne again.
Manuels status in England is ais
causing considerable worry. He viii
have no official standing but in hi
! private capacity he will move I'm roya
circles and be recognized by the ariS
tocracy as one of their number.
