MISS LENEVE
IS ACQUITTED
English Jury Brought in a
Verdict Of Not Guilty In
a Few Moments
CRIPPEN'S COMPANION
DID NOT EVEN TESTIFY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Oct. 25-After a trial Of
unexpected brevity to-day, Ethel Glare
Leneye was acquitted of the charge
of being an accessory after the fact
to the murder of Belle Gilmore Grip
pen.
The speedy and favorable verdict
by the jury was a big surprise fol-
lowing the death sentence to DR.. Har-
vey Crippen for the murder of his
wife. II was expected that Miss Le-
neve. his former stenographer and
sweetheart would receive a brief
prison sentence
Miss Leneve did not take the stand
i'm her own defense. Pale and
trembling, and apparently fearful of
an adverse verdict, she pleaded not
guilty to the charge that she did
afterward feloniously receive. com
fort, harbor, assist and maintain" DR.
Crippen.
Little Testimony Heard.
Richard d. Muir, the Grown prose
cutor, started out as though he in.
tended to prosecute the girl as vigoR
Ously as he did Crippen, and in his
opening statement he urged that tn,
prisoner undoubtedly knew Of the
murder Of Mrs. Crippen, as she wai
the motive for the crime. Only 4
few witnesses were called by the
prosecution, however, and the ex
animation of these was brief, with M
determined effort made to bring GU
damaging evidence against the girl.
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, whit
arraigned Crippen in such merciles
fashion, summed up the evidence TO
the jury and his every word and ac
tion clearly indicated that his sym
pathies were with the unfortunat
prisoner. whose delicate condition wa
a potent point in her favor
The jury retired at 3.54, and within
few minutes it was announced Z
the court that an agreement had bee
reached. Three minutes later IN
jury returned to its box and hande
the Lord Chief Justice its verdic
When the acquittal was announce
there was an attempt at applause
the court room which WAS quick
suppressed by the court bailiffs.
Miss Leneve was almost overcou
with joy and wept and laugh'
HISTORICALLY Her aged father al
mother were the first TO reach he
and their emotion was as marked
that of the girl.

BIG DISASTER
AT NAPLES
Believed That Death List Ex-
CeedS 200 As Result Of
the Storm

AND VESUVIUS OUTBREAK

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NAPLES. Oct. 25.-As the news
slowly filters I'm from the districts
ravaged by yesterdays storm, floods
and subsistence of the earth due 20
volcanic action the magnitude OF tho
disaster grows II is admitted by the
authorities that the death list exceeds
two hundred at Ischia and In the
province Of Salerno and Naples.
Thirty feet of mud covers many of
the roads in the provinces OF Naples
and Salerno. Soldiers have been
started at the work of rescue and re-
lief. but their progress must neces-
sarily be slow because of the blocking
of the roads Here I'm Naples many
houses collapsed. This was due to
subsistence of the surface of the earth
due TO the recent volcanic eruptions
and the inhabitants of the city are IN
a state of panic.
The disaster was due to the COM
bination of torrential rains and cloud
bursts simultaneously with an out
break of Mount Vesuvius.
The coasts of the island Of lschia,
sixteen miles southwest Of Naples. I'm
the Mediterranean. were swept by
mountainous tidal wave. The extent
of the damage from this source can
not be learned because of the destruc-
ton OF the cable between Naples and
the island
Warships Garry Aid.
The Prefect Of Naples sent a tor
pedo boat and a large detachment ~
troops to Ischm to undertake the work
OF rescue and as soon as the news OF
the disaster reached the King he d.
rected that three battleships and four
cruisers be hurried to the island Of
lschia from the nearest ports. These
warships carry emergency rations and
shelter tents. as well as a liberal sup
ply Of medicines.
A telegram received from the
Mayor of Cassamicciola says that that
| city has been very badly damaged and
| that help is urgently needed II is
