London Jury Exoncrntcn Miss Leneve
In Crippen Case.
London, October 25.-After trial
lasting but few hours In the New
Bailey Criminal Court to-day, a Jury
found Ethel Clara Leneve not guilty
as an accessory after the fact in the
murder of Cora Belle Crippen, for
which her husband DR., crippen. will
die on the gallows on November 8.
Miss Leneve was In love with Dr..
sCrtppen, and slept in his house on the
night OF the day following the day
upon which the doctor murdered his
wife and buried the dismembered parts
IN the cellar OF the Htlldrop Crescent
nome. She accompanied Crippen In his
hight to Canada. and with him was
arrested and indicted.
From the first she had maintained
ner Innocence OF any knowledge OF the
crime, but the crown alleged that
pearance OF Mrs. Crippen. or Belle Ell
more, as she was known on the stage,
was such as to betray guilty knowl-
edge OF the murder.
pleaded not guilty, and witnesses were
introduced by the prosecution to show
that she had experienced periods of
great mental distress following Belle
Elmore's death. The crown prose-
.cutor. Richard Muir, introduced only
such evidence as had been brought out
In the earlier hearings
Miss Leneve's counsel, Frederick E..
Smith. NJ. p, asked the jury to bear
in mind that his client had been under
the influence of crippen, one Of the
most dangerous criminals Of recent
years, since she was sixteen years OF
age. This. he asserted, accounted for
her flight in the Doctors company.
There was no proof that she had
guilty knowledge OF the crime. Coun-
sci said that he took upon his own
shoulders the responsibility for not
putting Miss Leneve in the witness
box.
Lord Chief Justice Alive one. who
presided, In summing up for the jury.
:Crippens should have told Miss Leneve
a story different from that which he
told to others. 5
