LONDON, Sept 26.-The coroner's
Jury, which has been investigating
the alleged murder OF Belle Gilmore,
the actress, today returned a verdict
declaring that Mrs. Crippen came to
her death at the hands OF her hus-
band, DR.. H. H. Crippen. the American
doctor-dentist.
The jury fixed the degree Of the
crime as murder.
The jury, which retired at 4:40,
reached its verdict despite q summing
up by Coroner Schroeder that was
unusually favorable to the accused.
Schroeder reminded the Jury that the
evidence as to the identity and sex
Of the body supposed to be Of Mrs.
Crippen, was not at all conclusive and
that no satisfactory evidence had
been given to show even the cause OF
death.
He reviewed DR.. Peppers testimony
