London, Oct. 20-Dr. Hawley H.
Crippen faced his accusers from the
witness box today. 1t was dram
attic moment when the diminutive
figure of the American emerged from
comparative isolation of the commo-
dious dock and took a position where
he was stared at with intense inter-

every foot of the available space in
the New Bailey courtroom. Crippen
was pale, but his composure, that has
remained since he was first charged
with the murder of his actress wife,
Belle Elmore. did not desert him.
Holding the bible in his hand, took
the oath clamly.
1t was decided today to place DR..
Crippen on the witness stand, and let
him tell his own story Of the disap-
pearance of his wife.

cal experts who examined the human

It was while this instance of gift
making was going on that Dom Mig

made a stupendous fuss in London
and Vienna for day or two, and it
all resulted in calling on the Brag-
anzas for family council on the Aus
trian frontier. This so-called fam

perate performances of the Bragan-
"a following. In this particular case
it was decided that, in view Of the
pretender's remuneration Of rights,
Anita Stewards husband could easily
be put on the vacant throne Of Port
ugal, if $1,O0O,O00 was placed in the
hands of the Braganza family as sim
ews of war. The entire family voted
with answering loyalty for Dom Mig
uel, and then suggested that the prin-
cess mother, Mrs. James Henry Smith
should. under the circumstances. give
this $1,00O.O00. and promptly tele-
graphed her of her golden opportuni-
ty. Her answer was received with a
shock, for, strangely enough. she re-
fused absolutely to contribute to her
daughters elevation to a queenship,
and thus another Braganza dream
was shattered.

AVIATOR FELL
FROM THE CLOUDS
He Took 1875 Foot Tumble But
Escaped Without an
Injury

New York, Oct. 20.-The needless
ness OF moment came near being the
death Of John B. Moisant, the Ameri-
can aviator, while he was trying out
his new Bleriot monoplane at Belmont
park. He fell 1875 feet and wrecked
his machine beyond repair, but picked
himself out of the dust unhurt and
was just about to fly mile to his
anxious wife in another monoplane
when she rushed onto the field in an
automobile.
"Are you hurt?" she stammered.
"Why, no, nobody ever gets hurt
flying" answered Foisant; "the acci-
dent was my own fault for removing
the oil feed"
Moisant had Just made two brilliant
turns Of the mile and quarter track
when he took his spill. A puff of wind
struck the tail of his monoplane and
swung 1t to one side. The aviator
quickly righted himself and then, in
over-confdence, lifted his feet from
the rudder to tinker with the oil feed
to his motor. The machine was struck
by fowler, dived 125 feet to the
ground, struck on its right wing and
turned completely over. Nobody who
saw the fall thought for q moment
that Moisant would ever be taken. out
of the wreck alive; but as 1t happened
the uninjured left wing broke his fall
and he slid easily from his seat to
the dirt.
The damaged monoplane is a brand

still has the two-seat monoplane in
which he few from Paris to London
and will use It in all events in which
he competes at the aviation meet here.

The story Of the delay in the trans

last 1t required The attention of all of
the officials Of the road to care for the
descendants Of the original consign-
ment, was cited to illustrate the pub
lie need for legislation making it
easier for the shipper to recover for
the loss Of his property or damages

The argument for the government
was made by William s. Kenyon, as
sistant to the attorney general. He
admitted that the legislation was

added that this was the day of inno-
