CRIPPEN
FOUND GUILTY Be HANGED FOR
CRIME.

London, Oct. ee.-Dr. Hawley
H. Crippen was today found guilty
of the murder of his wife, who was
known on the stage as Belle Elmore.
He was sentenced to death.
The jury was out but thirty min
utes before returning the verdict.
Before sentence was pronounced,
Lord Chief Justice Alyerstone, who
was the presiding judge throughout
the trial, asked the physician if he
had anything to say.
Crippen replied: Il still protest
my innocence"
There was an oppressive silence
when the verdict was read.
Crippen will be hanged, this being
the mode of inaicting capital punish
ment in England. The execution
will probably be within month.
The trial of Ethel Leneve, the
young woman who fed with DR..
crippen and who is charged with
being an accessory to the murder,
will begin next Tuesday.
