CRIPPEN TO HANG TUESDAY
Court of Appeals Rules Against Hin
on ALI Points.
ANOTHER TRIAL is REFUSED
Contention that JuFy Was Not Prop
orIy Guarded and that Corpse
wRs Not identified Are
without Merit.

LONDON Nov. 6.-Dr. Hawley II. Grip
pen, convicted OF the murder of his wife,
Belle Elmore, the actress, today played
his last card and lost. He will be hanged
on November 8.
The criminal court OF appeals heard his
appeal from the conviction in the lower
court and decided against him on all
points. The court refused to grant q new
trial and confirmed the order of execution,
which will be carried out on Tuesday next.
Crippen was brought to the court house,
but kept In a cell pending decision on an
appeal against Justice Ridleys ruling that
he could not attend the proceedings. This
ruling was set aside and Crippen was
brought Into the dock. lie was very pale
and evidently had lost strength since his
conviction.
The prisoners counsel was the same as
appeared for him at his trial. The princi-
pal grounds upon which they based their
appeal, were: First, that one OF the jur-
ors, having been taken III during the trial
was removed from the court by physicians
without being in the custody of an officer,
second, the identity OF the corpse found IN
the cellar Of the Crippen home has moi
been established, and third, that the
crowns rebutting evidence had been i'm,
properly admitted.
Solicitor TObin said It was not charged
that any one had tampered with the juror
while he WAS temporarily excused, but thai
an important principle Of law was involved
In reply the crown offered the evidence
Of a bailiff that the juror was in his
charge throughout his illness. Decidinl
this point, the court ruled that the tern,
porary separation OF the Jury did not af
feet the trial.

night at the High school building
The purpose of this session is TO

ing the term by ten days.
This accommodating did not meet
with the favor of q majority of the
board. Several members thought that
the expenses Of the remainder of the
session could be reduced along other
lines so that the schools could be
kept open for the full term. However.
the trustees seem to be determined 10
close the present session without
