CR|PPEN MURDER CASE
STILL PROCEEDS N COURT
Crown Introduces Evidence as to Nature of Poison
Found in Body of Woman-Crowds Visit the Court
and Fashionably Dressed Women Remove Their
Hats That Those Behind Them May See

London, Sept. 17.-Dr. Williauj
Henry Wilcox, scientist and analyst
to the home office, who discovered d
deadly drug in the body found in thd
home of DR.. Hawley H. Crippen|
took the stand when the trial of thd|
doctor and his typist, Ethel Clare
Leneve, for the murder of the for
mer's wife, was continued today, and
swore unqualifiedly that death was
due to poison.
Describes Poison
The physician described the nature
of the medium used and said that
from quarter to half a grain would
prove fatal. He had found two
seventies of a grain after a lapse of
from four to eight months, and
judged that more than half a grain
had been administered. He found no
other cause of death, and expressed
the opinion that the victim survived
the dose an hour or more.
Before Dr. Wilcox was called the
crown introduced medical testimony
to corroborate that given on We'd
nesday by Prof. Augustus j. Pepper.
patheOlogist of the University OF
London, who swore that the body
had been dismembered by one ia
miliar with the science of anatomy.
Crowd Present.
The gruesome exhibits and the I'M
pleasant character of the testimony
at the last session did not deter the
curious from struggling to get into
the Bow street court today, and the
section apportioned to the public was
again crowded The spectators in
cluded the usual array of fashiona-
bly, dressed women, and these
thoughtfully removed their hats that
those seated behind them might not
miss a move of the trembling girl in
the dock or of her companion in
duress, whose jaunty air only adds
to the morbid interest in the case.
Swears -Four Hours.
DR.. Wilcox, whose evidence was Sc
verely technical, was in the witness
box for four hours. Solicitor Arthur
Newton, who is conducting the case
for the defense, closely cross-exam-
ined the witness, but elected nothing
fresh.
Inspector Dew, of Scotland Yard,
then took the stand. Solicitor New
ton asked him a few questions on
behalf of Miss Leneve, with the OBJ
ject of showing that she repeatedly
said that she believed whatever
Crippen told her.
she did not mention Crippen to
me-" the detective replied
The case was then adjourned to
September 21.

CENTRAL PRODUCE
CD. IS S0[D|
Elerath & Radford of Seattle
Take Over Plant and
Business.

A deal was consummated this
morning by which George Burge sold
the Central Produce company to FL
erath & Radford, prominent Seattle
fruit concern. r. L. Phillippi, we'll
known in this city as representative
of this concern, will take the local
management and assume his duties
al once.
The new owners, although their
firm is one of the youngest on West
ern Ave, have built up possibly the
largest produce business on the
Sound. The Central Produce COM
pany will be operated as a branch
house only for local supplies. The
main object of entering the local
field in this larger capacity is to buy
for the eastern market, although
some shipments will be directed to
Vancouver and Alaska
Mr.. Phillippi announced to the
Daily World this morning that he ex-
poets TO buy 800 carloads of apples
in Wenatchee this fall and that
everything will be paid for f. o. b.
Elerath & Radford want to get in
line for the big output, of the future
in the Wenatchee valley. To accom-
plish that end they have adopted the
policy of paying for all shipments
f. o. b. That is the clean way to do
business, and there is no come
back" in the way of misundefstand-
ings.
The new manager states emphatic
ally that there is no combine among
the fruit buyers; that such a cry is
heard at this time of the year every
season. Surface conditions indicate
that monopoly is in control, but in
reality buyers are merely waiting for
prices 10 become established before
making any bids. According to Mr.
Phillippi there is not the slightest
ground for fear that every apple in
this valley will be sold at a good
price, perhaps not at so high a fig
ure as last year, but still at good
profit to the grower.

LOOKING To WEST
FOR APPLES
Directed to Wenatchee Peo-
pie for Big Red
Apples.

That the west is expected to supply
a larger territory than, usual with
the red apple is evident from the
number of letters that are being re-
'ceived in this city, asking about the
apple crop and the prices. Agent A.
A. Piper of the Great Northern was
in receipt of telegram this morn
ing from an official of the Great
Northern, stating that large Grand
Forks firm was in the market for
many carloads of apples and asking
if there were any in the hands of
independent dealers, that is firms
other than produce associations
Secretary Coburn was also in re-
ceipt of letter from the st. Louis
Refrigerating & Cold Storage COM
pany, stating that the company de-
sired to get into communication with
some of the leading apple shippers
list of such shippers with their
names and addresses. The letter
also says:
The territory tributary to ST.
Louis had failure of apple crop this
year and We must look to the out
side for our supplies. There is an
excellent opportunity for the Pacific
northwest to do some business here.
We will do our part if we can get
into communication with the proper
parties"
These are samples of many letters
being received here inquiring relative
to the markets.

CARELESS of How Politi-
cal Winds Blow.

New York, Sept. I'm their fin
ancial review, j. S. Bache & Co., New
York bankers. say of the general
business outlook for the country:
Aside from disturbing prospects
in politics and the far-off threat of
the Sherman law, business is taking
care of itself. steering close to shore
and formulating few new enter
fprises. In the last year or two we
have been through somewhat rap
idly expanding era, in which has
been consumed large amount of
capital to a point, perhaps, where
the greatness of the demand bids fair
to exceed the supply. The extrava-
gance of individuals and municipali-
ties during this period has helped in
this consumption of capital. The ma
ton is now beginning relatively to
save money, and this process will,
before long, bring about added sup
plies of new capital. This trend is

ties issued, which has been taking
place in the last month or so, and
in the curtailment of building opera
tons in the principal cities.
In the first seven months of 1909
the railroads issued 100000 of
securities In the first seven months
of 1910 this issue amounted to $703,-
100000 Part of these were placed
abroad, and a much larger amount
would have been placed there had
it not been for the arrests caused by
the rate injunction.
"A continuance of the present
trend. in saving and in curtailing
business. will add large sums, and
after the crOp-moving period we
should look for an ample supply of
money, tending to reduce interest
rates and causing inquiry for bonds;
at first, the very high-grade bonds,
and later on other issues.
All these things will take place
no matter how the political winds
may blow or how stormy the out
look may appear
The market is characterized by
wearying dullness. q does not APP
pear that business liquidation is
complete and this may be the case
until the crop activity has spent it's
favorable prices for actual perma-
nent investment holding, prices are
probably not yet at bottom levels. !"
