LONDON. October 2J.-After trial
lasting but a few hours in the New
Bailey criminal court today jury found
Ethel Clara Leneve not guilty as an ac-
cessory after the fact in the murder
Cora Belle Crippen. for whose death her
husband. DR.. Crippen, will die on the
gallows November s.
Miss Leneve was in love with DR.. Grip
pen and slept in his house the night of
the day following the day upon which
the doctor murdered his wife and buried
the dismembered parts in the cellar of
his Eilldrop-CTescent home. She accom-
panied Crippen in his flight to Canada
and with him was arrested and indicted.
From the first she has maintained in
nocence of any knowledge of the crime
but the crown alleged that her behavior
subsequent TO the disappearance of Mrs.
Crippen, or Belle Elmore as she was
known on the stage, was such as to be-
tray a guilty knowledge of the murder
When arraigned today Miss Leneve
pleaded not guilty, and witnesses were
introduced by the prosecution to show
that She had experienced periods of great

Under Dr.. Crippen's Influence.

Miss Leneve's counsel. Frederick f.
Smith. NJ. p, asked the jury to bear in
mind that his client had been under the
influence of Crippen, one Of the most
dangerous criminals of recent years, since
she was sixteen years of age. This, he
asserted accounted for her flight in the
doctors company. There was no proof
that she had guilty knowledge Of the
crime. Counsel said that he took upon
his own shoulders the responsibility for
not putting Miss Leneve in the witness
box.
Lord Chief Justice AlverstOne, who pre-
sided, in summing up for the jury said
that he saw no reason why DR.. Crippen
should have told Miss Leneve a story
different from that which he told to
others

prize for the first hour.
The second hourly distance event
was pursuit race. Grahame-White
tried his Farman again, found it un'
reliable, took it off the field for e.
pairs, and during his absence saw the
lead he gained by his Watchful
promptness steadily cut down by
speedier rivals who had started later.
Hopeless of getting his Farman into
running order again, White took out
his fast Bleriot monoplane, the first
time he has been seen in it here in
competition. He gained steadily on
McCurdy in Curtiss biplane, but
the latter finished first with lap to
the good. 1t turned out, however,
that McCurdy had fouled two pylons
in trying to cut the corners, and the
forfeit cost him first place.
The last event Of the day was full
of uncertainty and suspense. With
very little preliminary maneuvering,
F. w. Radley Of the British team
flashed over the line in Bleriot and
vanished into the east before it was
known to any but the judges that he
had started in the cross country race
of twenty miles to captive balloon

again. In less than seven minutes
word came back that he had rounded
the balloon. His time seemed incred-
ible, and it was agreed that there
must be difference between the

the observers watch at the balloon.
While the matter was still being ar
gued, Radley was back again. He
had done the 20 miles in express train
speed, at better than 60 miles an hour.
His exact time was 19 minutes 4S 2-5
seconds.
Moissant, in his passenger-carying
Bleriot, started almost as Radley fin
ished, and was shortly followed by
McCurdy in a Curtiss biplane and

ETHEL LENEVE
IS NOT GUILTY

London, Eng, Oct. Z5.-After a trial
lasting but a few hours in the new
Bailey criminal court today the jury
found Ethel Clara Leneve not guilty
as an accessory after the fact in
the murder of Cora Belle Crippen,
for whose death her husband, DR.. H.
H. Crippen, will die on the gallows
on Nov. 8.
Miss Leneve was in love with Grip
pen and slept in his house on the
night of the day following the day.
upon which the doctor murdered his
wife and buried the dismembered
parts in the cellar of his Hilldrop
Creasent home. She accompanied
Crippen in his flight to Canada and
with him was arrested and indicted.
From the first She has maintained
he innocence of any knowledge of the
crime, but the crown alleged that
her behavior subsequent to the dis
appearance of Mrs. Crippen or eBlle
Elmore, as she was known on the
stage, was such as to betray knowl-
edge of murder.
When arraigned today Miss Leneve
pleaded OF guilty and witnesses were
introduced by the prosecution to show
she had experienced periods of great
mental distress following Belle FL
more's death. The crown prosecut-
or, Richard Muir, introduced only
such evidence as had been brought
out in the earlier hearings.

New York, Oct. 25.-The American
altitude record that j. Armstrong
Drexel so proudly brought down from
the clouds yesterday afternoon in his
Bleriot monoplane, was snatched from
his grasp today by Ralph tombstone,
in headless Wright climber. Drexel
reached 7,105 feet, but Johnstone
topped him today by 1913 feet with a
new marsk of 1903 feet. He came
down chilled to the bone, and his gog-
giles trimmed with frost. For half an

Hubert Latham, in an Antoinette
monoplane, frightened the crowd when
he began to do aerial flipfops under
the edge Of a nasty looking storm
cloud, half mile up in the air. He
righted and then shot to earth in one
steep, rushing swoop.
When the meet began, with the
hourly competition for distance that
regularly opens the days program,
the banging of the bomb found
Grahame-White out for his daily
promenade around the track. Latham
was his only competitor, and when
engine trouble forced Grahame-
Whites Farman biplane off the field,
it looked as if Latham, in his flying
fish Antoinette, would have the event
to himself.
But White was not to be caught

score whatever would bring him Sec

Elements Combine TO Bring
Death and DEVASTATION TO
BEAUTIFUL COAST OF NAPLES

Naples, Oct. 25-The beautiful coast
of the bay of Naples and the gulf of
Salerno and the islands of 1schia and
Procida have been devastated by a
peculiar combination of the ele-
ments.
The exact number of victims has
not been learned but $50 persons
are said to have been killed. The
monetary loss is great.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form Of cyclone having three
centers, the first over the island Of
Ishchia, the second over the town of
Tore Del Geseco and on the east
coast of the bay Of Naples, and the
third sweeping the gulf Of Salerpo.
