cRIPPEN BOUGHT HYoscINE.
Chemist Swears That He Sold Deadly
Poison to the Accused.

London, England. = At the re-
II. Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve for
the murder of the formers wife. Pub
lie Prosecutor Humphreys introduced
evidence to establish the claim of the
crown that the parts of the mutilated
body found in the Crippen home were
those of Belle Gilmore, the missing
wife, and SO to strengthen what has
been popularity regarded as the miss
ing link in the chain OF circumstantial
evidence.
The first witness was Mrs. Adeline
Harrison, whose acquaintance with
Belle Elmore had extended over IL
years. Mrs. Harrison was asked to
examine strands of hair found when
the body was uncovered, and she
swore that she recognized the exhibit
as similar to that worn by Belle FL
more.
A torn bit of feminine underwear
also discovered by the searchers in
the cellar was introduced next, and
the witness declared that she had seen
Belle Elmore clothed In undergar-
ments of like texture. Testimony
had been offered before showing that
the lower part of the body bore a scar,
the result of an operation. Mrs. Har-
rison testified that she had seen a
similar scar on the body of her friend.
In his cross-examination of Mrs.
Harrison, Arthur Newton, represent
ing Crippen, detracted somewhat from
the strength of the evidence and in.
cidentally indicated what is believed
to be the line of defense. In reply to
Newton's questions the witness as.
scented to the suggestion that the hair
the portion of woman's vest and the
curling iron found in the Crippen eel
lar were not only similar to those
worn or used by the missing woman
but also "resembled thousands of 9th
ers."
When Mrs. Harrison left the stand
the prosecution called the chemist
who admits that he sold hyoscine, a
deadly poison. to Crippen.
Inspector Dew, who arrested the
fugitives and brought them back from
Quebec. re-entered the witness DO,
and read "a lengthy statement signed
by Crippen when the police first ask
ed him to make an explanation of his
disappearance from London after sus
picion had been directed against him
Inspector Dew testified regarding
the search of Crippen's house and told
of finding there a loaded revolver ant
a box of cartridges.

Milwaukee. Twenty-Five lives
we're lost in Lake Michigan when
the Pere Marquette's car ferry, No. Is.
sank from unknown cause twenty
miles off Sheboygan, Wis.
1t is declared one of the worst ma
-ine disasters in the history of Lake
Michigan navigation. The boat was
valued at 100000, and the cargo,

estimated to be worth $4,000.
The dead:
Car ferry No. Is was bound from
Ludington to Milwaukee with a full
cargo of SO cars, consisting of II cars
Of coal and 81 of miscellaneous freight.
1t was making it's first trip after 60
days under charter toia Chicago eH-
cursion company.
At the sacrifice of two of her own
seamen, and after terrible hours OF
struggle the steel car ferry Pere Mar
quette No. II, which went to the as
sistance of No. Is, reached this port
with three dead, and twenty-nine sur
vivors of the crew Of her sister ship.
Twelve of the rescued were in one
Of the ships boats, the remainder
were clinging to the wreckage or
floating about buffeted by the debris.
The catastrophe occurred approx
mately thirty miles OF from Port

wreck just as the No. Is sunk out of
sight. Several miles away a lone
boat was fioundering in the surge and
swell of the waves, and on all sides
were the shrieks and screams Of the
poor wretchss soaked through and
through with the almost ice-cold water
and gripped by the strong winds
Only few had time to dress.
The Pere Marquette No. 20, out
from Ludington bound for Milwaukee
and manned by a crew most of whom
come from the same city as those on
the sunken vessel, was the third craft
to reach there. Just prior to its ar
rival the fishing tug Tester, out from
dead, among them Capt. Kitty, which
were transferred to the No. II and
taken back to Ludington.
In marine circles it is believed that
the string of twenty-eight cars be
came loose as the ferry was buffeted
about and that the water rolled into
the vessels stern, which is wide open
This seems plausible in view of the
fact that the sea was rolling from
the north, the most dangerous or
Lake Michigan, while the steamer was
heading southwest by south.
The Inflated car ferry, which ha.
contributed the first fall disaster OF
the lakes this year, was built in Cleve
land twelve years ago at a cost o
$4,000. It was fully insured, a.
were the cars and contents.
Three steamers have reached her,
from the scene of the wreck, but onl,
wild theories are given as to tn,
cause of the wreck.

In slight burns the pain may be

from the air. Any simple ointment

If any blisters have formed, they
should not be broken, but the liquid

In extensive burns avoid applying

Importance OF Cleanliness.
In applying any dressing do not use
dirty rags or cotton waste as they are
liable to carry germs that may infect
the injured part. and infection is one
of the conditions that we must try to
avoid. When possible use clean
cloths that have been washed and
ironed, clean cotton, or best of all,
sterile dressings which can usually
be procured at any drug store. The
systemic effect of burns is to cause
nervous shock and IL at all severe,
the patient must be Immediately Civ
en- stimulants. Sometimes artificial
respiration is necessary, the method
of which will be given when the treat
ment for drowning is considered.
Avoid exposing the patient to cold
while removing any Of his clothes or
applying dressings. Keep the body
warm by covering it with warmed
blankets or covers Of any kind. Place
-
tie c: fruit jar filed with hot water,
or heated bricks, will do. Place these
close to the body under the covers,
but avoid having them come In too
close contact with the body, as often
severe burns have been caused by too
close application of artificial heat by
these means.

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes

There are few people who at one
time or another in their lives have
act been present when some person
was injured, or when some emergency
case arose. tits unfortunate how few
know what to do to aid the unlucky
person until a physician can arrive.
A great amount of GOOD can be done
by the proper emergency treatment
in saving the strength of the patient,
lessening the duration and degree Of
his suffering and, In cases where the
skin has been broken, in preventing
the injured part from becoming more
infected than it was at the time Of
the accident.
Although it is very necessary to
know what to do in case Of emer-
gency, it is quite as important to
know what not to do. 1t has often &C.
Cured that because of some ill-ad-
visei emergency treatment the inju-
ries Of the unfortunate person. which
were serious enough at first, have
been made more severe.
In Serious Cases Send for the Doctor
Two points, which, although not a
part of the treatment itself, in all
serious cases at least should not be
overlooked, are first, don't forget to
send for the nearest physician at once
SO that he may be coming while you
are proceeding with the treatment
and second, don't get excited or fright
ened but keep your wits about you
as you may do something in your
haste that may add further to the
injuries or suffering of the patient.
The seriousness of burns and scalds
of course. depends upon their extent
and degree. Death is usually the re-
suit If two-thirds of the body's sur.
face is affected by only very slight
burn or If one-third of the surface is
affected by a burn that destroys the
tissues below the skin. Other results
of burns and scalds not fatal are de
formities caused by destruction Of the
tissues and parts and the contraction
of the scar tissue that is formed In
healing, and infection of the part
which may go on to a general blood
poisoning.
Preventive Measures.
