CRIPPEN'S LETTER
Left Statement With Leneve Girl Pro
claiming innocence.


London, Nov. 26.-Lloyds News pub
fishes a three-column letter from the
late DR.. Hawley II. Crippen which the
paper received through Miss Leneye.
In this letter DR.. Crippen reafflrms
most soemnly that he was wrongly
convicted and expresses the belief that
facts are yet to come out which will
prove his innocence.
The letter rebuts in great detail the
evidence as to the identification Of the
remains found in the cellar Of tie
house on Hilldrop Crescent C says
the conviction of the murderer was a
judicial error created Chiefly by the
prejudice which had been built up in
the public miad by the sensational
story of his fight and capture.
The letter winds up with a warm
tribute to Miss Leneve, who" it says,
has loved me as few women love
men. My last prayer will be that God
may protect her and allow her to join
me in eternity"

Mr.. Hill recently has been reported

that was not brought out at the tariff

bill was being framed.
If there is shown new information
