AFTER VERY SHORT TRIAL AC. CUsED GIRL ACCESSORY
 IS LIBERATED.
SCORED BYCROWN LAWYER
Prosecutor Richard D. Muir Declares Her Intrigue With Crippen Was Murder Motive-GirI Pleads
 "Not Guilty"

London, Oct. 26.-After a trial of unexpected brevity, Ethel Clare Le- neve was acquitted of the charge of being an accessory after the fact to the murder of Belle Elmore Crippen. The speedy and favorable verdict by the jury was a big surprise, for, fol- lowing the sentencing to death last Saturday of pr. Hawley Harvey Grip pen for the murder of his wife, it was expected that Miss Leneve, his former stenographer and companion, would receive a brief prison sentence.
 Miss Leneve did not take the stand in her own behalf Pale and trem- bling, and apparently fearful of an ad- verse verdict, she pleaded not guilty to the charge that she did after wards feloniously receive, comfort, harbor. assist and maintain" Dr. Grip pen.
 Richard D. Muir, the Grown Prose cutor, started out as though he in- tended to prosecute the girl as vigor- ously as he did Crippen, and in his opening SlditllCul iC Nl SNb ehe'S hh~ prisoner undoubtedly knew of the murder of Mrs. Crippen, and that she was the motive for the crime.
 Few witnesses Are Called.
 Only few witnesses were called by the prosecution, however, and the ex- animation of them was brief, with no determined effort made to bring out damaging evidence against the girl
 Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, who arraigned Crippen in such merciless fashion, summed up the evidence to the jury, and his every word and ac- tion clearly indicated that his sym pathies were with the unfortunate prison,r, whose delicate condition was a point in her favor.
 The jury retired at 3:5i, and with in a few minutes 1t was announced to the court that an agreement had been reached. Three minutes later the jury returned to it's box and hand ed the lord chief justice its verdict.
 When the acquittal was announced there was an attempt at cheering in the crowded courtroom. which was quickly suppressed by the court bail ifs. Miss Leneve was almost over come with joy and wept and laughed historically. Her aged father and mother were the first to reach her, and their emotion was as marked as that of the girl.
 Installed in Crippen's Home.
 According to the prosecution, Miss Leneve's relation to the crime as an accessory began very soon after the death of Mrs. Crippen. In the case made out against the doctor, Mrs. Crippen, or Belle Elmore, as she was known to the stage, was murdered on the morning of February 1 and her dismembered body buried in the eel lar of the Crippen home at 39 Hill drop Crescent. Miss Leneve slept in the Crippen home on the night of the following day.
 Almost Whispers Mot Guilty"
 Miss Leneve was an object for keen scrutiny on the part of the women, who composed the majority of the spectators. In reply to the formal charge of being an accessory after the fact to the murder of Mrs. Crippen, the girl pleaded mot guilty in a voice that was scarcely audible.

Laxative for
 Women Free

There is great difference in the purposes to which a laxative should be put Tablets and pills, salts, etc, are usually violent purgatives or cathartics, and altogether too power ful for the average person.
 A woman at all times needs only 9 mild laXatve--in fact, none other is needed by anyone, weak or strong though they may be. for the object is simply to move the bowels. and if a gentle laxative will do it, what is the use of a violent one?
 pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin has earned weH-deserved vogue among women and children and old folks-people who must necessarily be careful of what they take.
 It is liquid laxative tonic and ad- mtttedly the greatest stomach, liver and bowel remedy before the American people. The price is only 50 cents or $1 bottle. as it comes in both sizes, and all drug :. its sell it. It's pleasant taste and gentle action make it an ideal remedy for women in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom- ach, sick headache. heartburn and such like digestive complaints. It's use for a short time will remove the trouble en- tirely so that future medication will be unnecessary: Its tonic properties build up the stomach and intestinal muscles so that they act naturally again. That this is so is the experience of many heads of families. like Mrs Grammar, of Alvarado. Va, Mrs. K. l.. Stout, of Louisville. Ky. Williams, Cal. as Mrs. J. E. Blackmore. of that place, writes. the whole town seems to be using it.
 If the remedy is new to you and you want to make trial of 1t before buying, send your name to the doctors address as below and free test bottle will be sent you. Then, If results are satisfactory you can buy 1t of your druggist.

RACIAL J! MEETING

Philadelphia, June 13.-The
concluding session of a two-day
conference on the race question is
being held here tonight at Zion
Baptist church.
Prominent white and colored
men have delivered addresses,
many of which advised that the
colored people constrain them
selves more closely to public opln-
ion, especially in matters regard
ing public department and civic
duties. A protest against disfran-
chisement, separate cars and other
restrictions which are hamperlng
the race was also made.
The call for the meeting men,

Parnell Stemons that the race is
lower today in the essentials OF

the things that hinder their pro-

tions is considered superior men
tally and otherwise to him who

perhaps, that has become so firmly
fixed in the minds of the white

more powerful character when he
rises. With that as a motto, let
the good citizens of Seattle, backed

down every black man and woman
in the entire community. Make it

Of majority of the citizens in and

has already been pointed out by
one of the daily papers, it might
prove a menace to the peaceful re-
lations that have existed between
the whites and the blacks of this
community for all these years, and
no one desires to meet such con-
dition. Of two evils, always choose
the lesser, and it is easier for the
colored soldiers to move than the

it were made the target OF race AMI

of the earth. If the colored sol
diers under such circumstances
ave strayed from the straight ane
narrow path, they have not done
any more than hundreds of Grim
inal civilians are doing in Seattle
every day. 1t is awfully poor pol
icy for persons living in glass
houses to begin to throw stones at
the other fellow. Had Seattle re-
mained closed town, as it was
under MayorMiller, a great deal of
the alleged trouble with the colored
soldiers would have been averted.

some of whom were found guilty,
and yet it never occurred to any
one to have all the colored folk run
out of Seattle because one or two
or a great many of them had been
found guilty of criminal acts. Al
ter he had been elected mayor his
chief of police uncovered a rob-
bers' roost in one of the colored
'clubs of the tenderloin district, IN
which thieves were schooled and
their loot cached One of the men
caught confessed, plead guilty and
is now in state prison, others are
awaiting trial, but that club is run
ming in full blast. Neither the
mayor or the chief of police has
thought it wise to have all the col
ored folk driven from the city be-
cause those criminals had annoyed
a hundred or more homes. 1t seems
lust as unreasonable to demand
that the wenty-fifth regiment be
sent away from Seattle in disgrace,
because one of their number has
committed a heinous offense, as it
would have been to have advised
that all the colored people who own
homes in Seattle, dispose OF them
on short notice and leave the city
because some of their number had
been found guilty of crime.
If it's a weakness of the human
family to commit crimes it would
be expecting a good deal to ind
perfection in the colored man, es-
pecially when you remember he has
lived among the whites ever since
he was unwillingly brought to the
United States by the white man.

Kelly Miller, Dean of the College

University, spoke to the Negroes
of Mobile Monday night of this
week. Prof. Miller is making a
tour of the South crusading against
crime. and in his lecture said:
"The Negro today, constituting
twelve per cent. of the population
contributes thirty-two per cent of
crimes committed. AS an explain
alton of this disproportion Prof.
Miller said that the Negroes of the
United States constitute the sub
merged stratum, from which the
largest proportion of crime comes
in all countries. Crime" said
the lecturer, sis a question of con-
ditions, not one of color" Prof.
Miller said further: Taking the
Southern courts as a whole, the
Negro in some cases is treated with
unusual severity, and in others
with unusual leniency. Balacing
the two extremes, however, he gets
substantial Justice; but there is a
difference between fairness and
Justice. This latter remark is the
result of discovery that the pun
ishment is greater and more speed
lily inflicted for crimes against the
Negro race.
