DR. GRIFFIN WILL
 DIE ON GALLONS Appeal to Higher Court Fails
 on Every Count RESULT IS EXPECTED Crippen Had Evidently Prepared for the Dismissal of Ills Appeal Bht He Accepts His Fate Very
 Calmly
RESULT IS EXPECTED


 London. November 4.--(Special cable) Dr. Hawley II. Crippen will die on the gallows probably on next Tuesday. the date set originally for his execution after his conviction on October 22, for the murder of his wife, known as Belle Fillmore. His appeal was heard in the court of criminal appeals this morn ing and dismissed. Crppen; who was present at his own request, heard his fate calmly, though his usually rruddy face was deathly pale and his twitch- ling lips betrayed the suppressed emo ton he was undergoing.
 | pr. Crippen's appeal was based on three grounds, first, that one of the iurymen was absent during portion of the trial without police guard; sec ond, that the identity of the remains found in .Crippen's residence was not established, and third, that rebutting evidence adduced by the crown was not properly admitted
 Dr. Crippen sat in the dock through out the proceedings with his arms folded and his head thrown back He had evidently expected the dismissal of his appeal and had nerved himself to receive the verdict When it was an- nounced he stood upright and uttered no sound, but his face was the color of chalk and wore an expression of abject despair as he was escorted from the courtroom and placed in a prison van and driven back to his cell The criminal court of appeals heard his appeal from the conviction in the lower court and decided against him on all points. The court refused to grant a new trial and confirmed the order of execution, wh ich will be car ried out on Tuesday next.
 The hearing of the appeal of pr. Crippen from his conviction for the murder of his wife drew another great crowd to the New Bailey court today Justices Darling, Channel and Pick ford heard the appeal. Crippen was brought to the courthouse but kept in a cell pending a decision on an appeal agains,
 Justice Ridley's ruling that he could not attend the proceedings. This rul- ing was set aside and Crlppen was brought into the dock.
 The prisoners counsel was the same that appeared for him at his trial. The
 principal grounds upon which they based their appeal were, first, that one
 of the jurors had been taken i'll dur ing the trial, was removed from the court by physicians without being in the custody of an officer; second, the identity of the corpse found in the cellar of the Crippen home has not been established; and, third, that the crowns rebutting evidence had been | improperly admitted. Solicitor Tobin said 1t was not charged that anyone | had tempered with the juror while he
 was temporarily excused, but that an | important principle of law was in | yolved.
 | In reply the crown offered the evil dence of a bailiff that the juror was in | his charge throughout his illness. De- ciding this point, the court ruled that the temporary separation of the jury did not affect the trial.
