cRlPPEN STATEMENT is OUT.
In Last Letter to Miss lie Move Doctor
Declares His Innocence.

London, Nov. 28.-The last state.
ment of DR.. Crippen is published in
the form of two final letters to Ethel
Le Neve. The letters are not repro
duced in their entirety, it being ex.
planned that they contained personal
condolences, but nothing in the nar
ture of confession. Crippen through
out declared his innocence to Miss lie
Neve.
The letters, which are printed as
one, begin with protestations of pas
sionate love for the girl and repeat
constantly the phrase: God help us
to be brave in the face of the end now
SO near"
Crippen asks Miss LIE Neve to have
his body cremated and if possible OBJ
tain the ashes and dispose of them as
she deems best. He complains that
his statement published on Nov. 20,
omitted his criticisms of the crowns
evidence, with reference to the scar
and the absence of the navel, which
he considered most important and he
proceeds exhaustively to analyze the
evidence on these points. He asks
that Miss LIE Neve look for no further
evidence, adding:
Il can safely leave further evidence
to just God"
He expressed the hope that Miss LIE
Neve will go to Mrs. H. where she
will be free from the lying tales of
the newspaper men and concludes:
Tomorrow will be in Gods hands
I have perfect faith that He will let my
spirit be with you always"
The paper prints fac smile OF
Crippen's will, bequeathing every:
thing to Miss LIE NeVe.
