RELATES
VERY ODD STORY
Admits He Lied About Her
Death But Did So to Shield
Himself of Dishon0r.
SAID SHE LOVED ANOTHER
AND TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM
LEARNING THIS HE cIRcULAT-
Ed REPORT SHE HAD DIED IN
CALIFORNIA.
(American News Service)

London. Oct 20.-Dr. Crippen was
on the witness stand in his own de-
tense today. He admitted he had lied
about his wife's disappearance to COW
err up scandal. He said his wife had
met Bruce Miller, of Chicago, in Am
erica and fell in love with him. He
said quarrel arose between him and
his wife and separation was agreed
to. but they occupied the same house
and pretended to be loving couple
when company was present. Rather
than tell his friends his wife had de-
serted him Crippen decided on the
story of her death in California while
on a visit there. The purchase of
hyoscin, Crippen declared, was for use
in compromising nerve tablets for his
patients. He fled to Canada with
Ethel Leneve to avoid unpleasant pub
licity. He said he had never practic.
ed dissection. Crippen had splendid
control of himself throughout the ex.
animation.

FIGHT OVER CHILD
STARTED IN COURT
Foster Parents Want CUSTODY
of Little Girl, but the
Mother Opposes.
NO DECISION is MADE YET
JUDGE FOX, AFTER HEARING THE
EVIDENCE IN THE PECULIAR
CASE, HAS TAKEN IT UNDER
CONSIDERATION.

Arguments by counsel in the con-
test of the adoption of Mildred. the
three year old daughter of Edith Turn
err by Frank Branson and wife, were
heard by Judge Fox of the circuit
court on Thursday. Perry J. Freeman
representing the Turner woman, cited
the authorities and made an earnest
appeal to the court, hoping thereby to
restore the child to her mother, who
has not been in possession of her for
the past two years. John F. Robbins
argued that the adoption of the child
by the Bransons was entirely legal.
The court made no decision in the
matter.
The child was adopted by the Bran
sons in September without the moth
er's consent being given to the court,
although he was informed that she
was willing. AS soon as the mother
learned of this through the newspa-
pers, she took steps to have the adop-
ton revoked, claiming that she desir-
ed to take care of the child and assert
ing that she was able to do so now,
although at the time when she placed
the child with the Bransons she was
not able to care for her. She claims
that she was in dire circumstances
then.
During the arguments Mrs. Branson
and the child which she wishes to
adopt sat in the court room A few
chairs away sat the mother for whom
the child holds no motherly love be
cause she does not know that the
Turner woman is her mother. The lit
tie girl bestowed her affections on
Mrs. Branson and taking her handker.
chief Wiped her tears away several
times. Mrs. Turner did not apparent
ly take much interest in the argu.
ments and kept her handkerchief to
her eyes during the larger part of the
time. She gave her child to the Bran
sons to care for it until she could do
SO herself, after refusing oyertures to
allow the board of children's guar.
dams to place the child in home and
be adopted.

THE CANAL
tAmerican News service)

tAmcrlcdn news SerVlce)
Boston, Oct. 2O.-Fortifcation of
the Panama canal as the only means
to save a $4,000 900 property is
urged by the superintendent of
streets, Louis X. Rourke, a former en-
gineer on the canal.
"Its all right to talk about treat
ies," said Mr.. Rourke, "but 1 say it is
the height of folly to spend approx
mately $500, OO0,0 900 on a piece of work
1000 miles from New York and then
trust to somebody's honesty not to
touch it. We ought to spend from
$15, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900 to fortify the
canal Treaties are kept only SO
long as the parties to the treaties are
strong enough to. insist that it be
kept. say we ought to put impreg-
nable fortresses down there and fill
them with United States troops. Then
We would be dead sure of holding
the canal.
