NEW YORK, October o2-One of the
three balloons in the great international
balloon race from ST. Louis, which had

has been felt, was heard from today when
the Aero Club of America here was noti-
fed that the Swiss balloon Azurea had

Judge Dons Black Cap.

The chief justice then donned the black
cap that has rested near him throughout
the trial, and pronounced the sentence
of death.
Addressing the condemned man, Lord
Alverstone said:
You have been convicted on evidence
which can leave no doubt in the mind
OF any reasonable man that you cruelty
murdered your wife, and then mutilated
her body.
L advise you to entertain no hope
that you will escape the consequence OF
your crime / implore you to make
your peace with Almighty God"
AS the lord chief justice concluded, a
policeman stepped forward. and in the
hush that had fallen over the court
room led Crippen from the dock
Trial of Ethel Leneve.
The trial of Ethel Clara Leneve a
an accessory after the fact in the muir
der of Mrs Crippen will begin next
Tuesday.
The trial Of Crippen lasted less than
five days, having begun at 1920 o'clock
last Tuesday morning. The jury re-
tired at 2:17 o'clock this afternoon and
returned with the verdict at 2.47
O'Clock.
Crippen received the death sentence
with the apparent calmness that char
acterihed him throughout the trial and
which, in fact, has been noticeab bic from
the moment OF his arrest
He appeared rather nervous during the
judges summing up, which was strongly
against him. AS Lord Alverstone merci-
lessly portrayed his character as devei-
oped during the trial Crippen tw.rled his
thumbs, crossed and recl oSsed his legs
and occasionally shuffied his feet How
ever. as soon as the charge had been
concluded the prisoner seemed to IulI
himself together.

According to reports at the Depart

not entirely certain what course will be
pursued. If the complaint is directed
against certain men who have acquired
patents on pasteuriZing machines the

spectators being convinced from the
brevity of the deliberations that a YER
diet of guilty had been found.
There was little delay after tie Judge
and jury had again taken their seats In
the open court before the prisoner mount

When the verdict was announced he did

held out their arms to support the pris-
oner. He ignored their proffered assist
ance and, turning. walked firmly from
the room. stopping only once, and then
for a brief moment to take a last look
at the courtroom within which he had
fought for his life.
