LONDON, Oct 2.-The defense in
the trial Of Or. Il. II. Crippen for the
murder Of his wife closed at $50 O'Clock
this afternoon
All records for speed in a criminal
trial have been broken in this case.
The defense. as soon as DR.. Crippen
left the stand. began examining vari-
Gus medical experts. each Of whom
sWore, without qualification, that the
alleged scar found on the piece Of
flesh in the Crippen home was not a
scar.
1t was by this testimony that the de-
Tense hoped 10 break down the crown S

that OF Mrs. Crtppen.

bore a large scar on her body Physi-
clans for the crown have sworn that,
on piece Of the flesh disinterred in
the cellar Of the Crippen home. a sim
liar scar was found.
The defense's physicians swore that
under no condition could a gland form
on scar, yet such a growth had
formed on the alleged scar.
Closes Case.
The defense introduced no further tes-
timony, but closed its case as soon as
the physicians had been examined.

The cross-eXamination Of Crippen was
the most terrific within the momory Of
barristers who looked on. At times So
licitor Alfred TObin tried to save his
client from the avalanche OF questions
which raired upOn-him.
Sympathy Incited.
Like the accusing personifcation Of
justice, Prosecutor Muir stood di-
rectly before the prisoner rhurIing
brOadside after brOadside al the d.
minutive prisoner The questions
came like the swapping Of whips
hurtliHg and tumbIing upon each
others heels until the amazement Of
those in the courtroom gave way to
sympathy for the accused man.
DO YOU know of any person who has
seen Belle Elmore Crippen o. heard
from her since her disappearance?' was
the first question shot at the prisoner
after he had mounted the witness chair
for the cross-examination.
The witness faltered and looked
startled. Il do not" he replied. How
can you prove that your wife left your
home alive or that she ever left at ALP
snapped out Prosecutor Muir.
Crippen paled as he realized the dam
age to his case which these questions
entailed.

A GREAT FRUIT CROP.

The orchardist in the Northwest
faces the most prosperous year in his
history. Fruit prospects never were
so pleasing between the Rockies and
the sea, and the large loss of fruit
in the Central West opens up an I'M
usual market for the Pacific Coast
products. East of the Alleghanies
also the yield promises to be normal,
and those sections will share in the
enlarged markets. But the Central
West will possibly surprise us with
a yield from orchards now thought
to have been stripped Of all prospect
by the frost. Even some of the Iowa
papers have the hardihood to claim a
normal yield of fruit for thai State.
At all events the human system this
season will not need to be calculated
by drug store products.-From the

HOW ORCHARDS MAKE VALUES.

Good orchards of all fruits have
affixed value that has been we'll MAIN
tanned, says a writer in American
Agriculturist. They are rarely found
for sale. their value being from $500
to $1,000 an acre, the difference In
price growing out of the location
condition and varieties grown, the lat
ter being regarded as a matter or
greak Importance, but which in many
instances has been too little thought
offin planting for commercial pur-
Poses.
A friend who Is known as one or
THE best apple growers in my country,
has assured me that $1,000 an acre
would be no temptation as a purchase
price for his orchard, he claiming
that his plantation Of Nonesuch and
Baldwins has paid him more than ten
per cent. net on this sum through the
mast ten years. The past season, with
SJhly a moderate crop and an unusual
amount of defective fruit, the re-
ceipts from about twenty-five acres
have amounted to something over
$4,000. Now, how about the value OF
ordinary farm lands in general
through the same section? A hasty
review OF the situation may not be
amiss.. A portion OF the land owned
by my lather, independent OF the old
