UTILITIES BILL
 SURE TO RESULT
 IS NOW CLAIM

Hartford. Sept. 1HThat public utilities bill will be one of the early fruits from the meeting of the next General Assembly was the confident belief today of friends Of the meas ure who attended the Republican State convention.
 In the keynote speech last night and through every nominating address and speech of acceptance ran the same there that a public utilities bill will be passed by the new Legislature With the two big parties pledged to enact the ideas of the bills friends approve any reasonable nea sure com ing from the legislators hands, advo- cates of control of public service cor porations could not see anything but certain and quick success of their years of agitation.
 The oficeS of the State Business Mems Association here has held crowds of delegates to the convention of whom many will be returned to Hartford in the coming elections. Their presence, said an officer of the asso ociation at least indicated that the business mems s threat to fight every candidate who baked on their public utilities pro- gram had had some good effects This officer stated that the association would not let up in their campaign of education but rather would work harder in the interest of public utilities bill as election day draws nearer.

Especial from United Press.)


 London, Sept. 1.-Dr. H. H. Grip penis life is today literally hanging by a hair
 Under shrewd and merciless cross examination today by Attorney Arthur Newton pr. Pepper, the government analyst, practically retracted much of his former testimony and admitted it was impossible to determine the sex body of Belle Fillmore Crippen, without an anatomical examination of them.
 tIs this the only way to determine the sex of the body with certainty !' he had the governments star witness in bad corner.
 "Yes,'' was Peppers reluctant re- ply.
 ssYou agree then, with pr. Marshall, the other government analyst, when he declared at the inquest that 1t was impossible to determine the sex of the remains?'' asked Newton, draw ing nearer to the perturbed witness
 tsI'u admit that it was impossible to determine the sex without anatorn-
 Newton paused significantly after this startling admission by Pepper; The whole courtroom was surprised at the sensational turn in the case, all believing that it marked an early collapse of the prosecution
 Peppers admission leaves the ques- ton of the body's- identity depenaeni. il upon a few strands of hair found in curIers near the body, another lock of hair found in the house, and rem nants of some woman's underwear
 Until today's resumption of the hearing in the Bow street ponce court Pepper had stoutly maintained that the identity of the remains as those of a woman was esta blished be- yond a doubt. Even today, he main tained that the remains were those of a woman and even went so far as to give it as his opinion that the vlc- tim was of middle age and Of robust build.
 His admission, today, coupled with a similar admission by pr. Marshall, made the whole question of the sex ofa the body hinge upon extraneous evidence and the best legal opinion is that this will prove wholly insuffict- ent to prove the corpus delicit'' or the identity of the person of whose supposed murder pr. Crippen is now facing trial.
 Pepper testified that the person who removed the viscera of the body and a clever surgeon as the work must have been a student of anatomy was that of a professional. Pepper said that the scar on the body, by means of which the prosecution is show that the Identification of the re- suited from an operation.
 What makes you think the scar resulted from an operation ?" Newton

 it's position, it could hardly have conn @ from an accident" Pepper replied.
 Pepper said the remains had prob ably been buried under the cellar floor for from four to eight months. He could not determine the cause of death, he said, from "a study of the remains.
 l. Pepper said that two experts on l behalf of the defense made a. minute examination of the remains last Fri day. These experts, it is expected, will be called by the defense to com pIete the destruction of the Crowns 8 contention that the body was that of a woman. Today's developments tend to confirm the opinion of many legal lights that the defense will have no difficulty in getting all the expert evidence it may desire in it's effort to sho wthat the Identification of the re- mains is impossible
 Crippen appeared elated at the overthrow of Peppers testimony and Clare Leneve, who is charged with being an accessory after the fact in the alleged murder of Mrs Crlppen, became cheerful at this unexpected development. She had entered the courtroom with her every feature showing the utmost detection
 Miss Leneve is rapidly breaking down. Her periods of elatfon today were always followed by moments Of depression. That she is on the verge of a nervous collapse was shown by her convulsive actions, which she made every effort to hide. Her hands twitched constantly and she turned her head in startled manner when ever anyone entered the courtroom.
 The dramatic features of the Grip pen case" are appealing to actors and -pIaywrights IS no other case in the history of English criminality and features of it will undoubtedly find their way onto the stage. This was evidenced today by the appearance in. the Bow street courtroom of Sir John Hare and H. B. Irving, leading English actors, and of Sir William Gilbert, the playwright. They occu- pied seats close to the witness stand and made frequent notes. On two occasions Gilbert was honored with a seat alongside the judge.
 Newton attempted to show that Pepper got all of his facts from In-l spector Dew before he made an ez- animation of the body. His ques-. tioning grew so sharp that Hum phreys, the opposing counsel, icautfon- ed Pepper not to mind his insults. Q
 Pepper admitted that he might have obtained much of his information from Dew but he maintained that he did not know before reaching the Hflldrop Crescent House of the age, sex or profession of the supposed victim.
 After Pepper left the stand thg hearing was adjourned until Friday.

 Our candidat for governor should ability, but in order to win,- he must in addition be possessed of the ele- ments of leadership and have those qualities of heart and mind that ap- peal to the voters of the State.
 When our late Governor Lilley en- tered upon the duties of his office, he selected for his executive secretary and confidential adviser in the affairs of the State a man who not only met with. the approval .of his friends, but whose character and ability were such that 4ai1nnHaG3 all criticism. from the eager and bitter foes of the administrations s. s1tisY
