SKILLED HAND IN CR|PPEN CASE
LONDON PATHOLOGlST GIVES
DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
Dismemberment Of the Slain Wife's
Body Was Work Of Surgical
Brains.

London, Sept 15.-Testifying at the
resumption of the Crippen murder
trial, Prof. Augustus ]. Pepper, path
ologist of the University of London,
said his examination had convinced
him the human parts found in the eel
lar of the Hilldrop Crescent home
were severed by hand skilled in
surgery and directed by mind that
possessed a real knowledge of anato-
my.
DR.. Crippen, who is charged as the
principal in the murder of his wife,
seemingly is as cool and collected as
ever He did not miss word of testi-
mony and eagerly whispered to his
solicitor, Arthur Newton, whenever he
thought he had detected point in his
favor.
On the other hand, Ethel Glare lie
Neve. accused as an accessory after
the fact is wan and plainly in mental
and physical distress. The police au.
thorities had anticipated that the day
would be trying one for her and &C.
cordingly she was attended for the
first time in court by. a wardress who
sat close to her.
Prof. Pepper was the first witness
called by the prosecution. At consid.
cradle length he described the examin.
alton which he made of the parts and
set forth his conclusions. Witness
said he had identified pieces of flesh
as belonging to various parts of the
body except the head, hand, forearms,
feet and legs below the knees. He
could say that the members found
were undoubtedly from human body.
No bones were discovered nor was
there any trace of the genital organs,
The whole viscera was present intact
and the only wound was a cut in the
upper part of the windpipe Other
parts were left undisturbed by the one
who did the cutting, and the way in
which the parts had been separated
convinced the expert that whoever was
guilty Of the mutilation did his work
with an exactness born of familiarity
with the human body.
Prof. Pepper said that the hair dis.
covered included short strand of fair
texture wrapped in handkerchief of
the size commonly used by men. The
witness identified particularly piece
of flesh by inches in size as coming
from the abdominal wall and which
bore scar which in his opinion was
undoubtedly left by wound from an
operation.

"The meeting being left without a

than would like action of similar mum.
Der of men collected at random in

sented of five gentlemen out of q

to act as the tribunal itself. These
five gentlemen continued their pro-
ceedings to the end, according to the
worst methods of ward politics, and

SO pages which they brought to the
meeting all ready prepared, and which
was never the subject of consideration
or discussion, or even read in COM
mittee they gave it to the newspapers,
although the law required it to be
rendered to congress; and they COM
pleted their perversion of the purpose
of the meeting by adjourning to De.
cember 3 so as to foreclose, if pos
sible, any action or consideration or
discussion of evidence by the commit
tee in the meantime; and by solemn
vote they graciously extended to the
majority the leave to file minority
report.
Report to Congress.
"The report to the committee can.
not be made until Dec. 5, when con.
gress meets, and the meeting called
for Sept. was for the purpose of
considering and discussing what the
report to be made three months there
after should be-. There was. there
fore, no haste Or pressure for time,
The action of the Democratic minority
in taking temporary advantage of the
delay of some members in reaching
the meeting was an effort to substitute
prearranged scheme for the orderly
deliberations and discussions which
the duty of the committee requires.
"The pretended adoption of re
port by political minority and it's
publication, as if it were the report of
a committee, exhibited willingness
to sacrifice the rights and injure the

in order to obtain supposed party
advantage in the pending political
