Pitiable Spectacle As a. s..
Literally Carried to His :
Doom
BRAvADO NOTICEABLE N TRIAL
DESERTED HIM FACING DEATH
The Story That He Met His Fate
Calmly Denied By Those Who Were
Present in Prison During His Last
Hours.

London, Nov. 23.-Dr. Hawley Har-
vey Crippen today paid the penalty
for the murder of his wife, Belle FL
more, the actress, within few min
utes Of the stroke of nine. the morn
ing hour officially fixed for the execu-
tion.
The hanging was in the Pentonville
prison where the prisoner had been
confined since his return to this
country, following his arrest in Ca
NADIA. The condemned man, who
throughout his trial and even until
home Secretary Churchill had refused
the petition for his reprieve, had
maintained an imperturable calm
ness, presented pitiable appearance
as he was literally led through the
short corridor from his cell: to the
scaffold. His mental anguish had
been too great to- be covered up by
his outward bravado and 1t was q
broken man the wardens were Obliged
to assist up the steps to the drop up
on which, once reached, the shrink
ing figure all but collapsed.
The first report that Crippen had
met his fate calmly was contradicted
by persons who were present In the
prison during the mans last hours.
The doomed man passed a restless
night and appeared haggard and worn
when awakened from his fitful slum-
bers. He seemed to lose all fortitude
as the end approached.
His face was colorless as he was
escorted bareheaded to the gallows
The grewsome work was soon done.
The black cap was quickly drawn
over the face, moose adjusted and the
bolt drawn. Crippen, who weighed
140 pounds, was given a drop of seven
feet. Death was instantaneous.
From the time that his reprive was
refused the physicians condition had
been one Of agonized mental prostra-
tion. He would see only Clara Ethel
Leneve, his love for whom, the crown
asserted. was the compelling motive
in the murder of his wife. Solicitor
Newton who had made a game fight
for his client. and Father Carey, to
whose ministrations he paid respect
full attention. The final interview
with Miss Leneve yesterday was
most painful and already in shadow
of death, the convicted murderer
made no effort to suppress his emo
tion upon parting with the girl. Dur
ing the remainder Of the day he was
in q state of complete nervous col
lapse. retiring to his bed utterly des-
pondent.

SPECIAL
THANKSGIVING
NUMBER

in the count he made as he climbed
up. He reached the spot at 6:32. only
two minutes behind the time set in
the letter received by him. The
"plant" had been made and the trap
was ready. but the game" was pur-
posely tardy in going to the spot
designated. As soon as he did SO
the police were out after him. Nick
Matulla was captured after chase,
but his cousin and alleged collabora-
tor in the conspiracy, John Matulla,
made his escape. but was captured
about midnight and the pair are in
the police station.
Nick Matulla is q Croatian, % years
age. He told a representative of
81 press that he had been in this
+ nine years. that he had not
atteS'et, any school, but had learned
to reas - write English by constant
reading ~ 1fying to read American
newspapers and periodicals. He
said:

Then, when l had completed my
English education, would study for

why wrote those letters"
This statement is an interesting
preface to the fact that Nick Matulla,
evidently a clever young man, wrote
letters to John Burkhard, the Broad
street hotel man; NJ. P. Boyle. owner
Of the saloon at Front and Broad. and
DR.. NJ. Horowitz, with ofices at
Fourth avenue and Broad street. de-
manding stated sums of money. In
each case terrible vengeance was
threatened for refusal to comply. Mr.
Boyle and DR.. Horowitz took their
letters to the police and the plan act
ed upon was outlined to DR.. Horo-
witz. AS a result Of the successful
execution of the plan, it was said to-
day, DR.. Horowitz will pay the police
a reward Of $1,000, which means 5000
for each of the officers.
The letter to Mr.. Boyle was par
ticularly ferocious. In the letter
were two pictures from q weekly
showing the results of refusal OF
somebody in California to respond to
a demand. of black handlers, and q
clipping from Johnstown newspaper
telling of another such outrage. The
letter to Mr.. Boyle was addressed
personal" Boyle's bartender is a
foreigner. and the Croatian probably
wanted no interference on his game
hence the exclusiveness Of his style
Of address.

Decisive Battle Will be Fought
During the Day at San
Pedro
CITY OF CH|HAUHAA IS N
DANGER FROM REvOluT|OM|STS
People of Tint City Are Bitter in
Their Hatred Against the Diax
Regime Because of Past Atrocities
Inflicted on Mountain Village.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 23.-The city
considered in the greatest danger from
the revOlutionists in northern Mexico
during the next few days is Chihua-
hua. The most bitter hatred is enter
tained for the Diaz regime on account
of the slaughter of the inhabitants
of the mountain village of Temosa-
chic by the troops some twelve years
ago, when regiment of soldiers were
sent there to compel the people to
submit to the jefe appointed by Gov
ernor Garrillo. The men of the viii
lage gathered in the church and killed
500 soldiers before the last Temosa-
chican was killed. The people of that
country are a sturdy class Of Indian
farmers and very peaceful.
Heavy fighting began early this
morning at Santa Isabel, Chihuahua.
At Torreon a large force of cavalry
has been sent in pursuit of the rev
olutionists who have withdrawn to-
wards San Pedro where a decisive
battle is expected today.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning there
was a temporary lull in the fighting
at Torreon with the government
forces in full control of the city. Wild
scenes Of disorder marked the night
in that city and the death list is esti-
mated at 80 to 20. largely from the
insurgent side The revolutionists
and their supply of arms and ammuni-
tion is limited.
No fighting is taking place in other
portions of the Republic so far as can
be learned here this morning.
The reports from Monterey declare
that large number Of federal troops
are enroute to Monclova, Coahuila,
to meet Gen. MADEIRA, who Is report
ed marching on that place with about
1000 we'll equipped cavalry and sew
eral hundred infantry. This force, it
is said, is being augmented by re-
cruits all along the line of march.
Strict Neutrality
Washington. Nov. 23-In response
to the request from the department
Of justice. which is charged with the
responsibility of seeing that the
United States is not used as a base
of war in connection with the Mexi-
can revolution. the war department
today instructed Gen. Hoyt, COM
mander of the department of Texas. to
respond to requests from United
States marshals for assistance Of
troops in preventing violations Of the
neutrality.

BITTER ROUTE Of
PEERS PREDICTED
Balfour Sees Only Defeat Fol
lowing an Appeal to the
People

London. Nov. 23.-According to pres
ent arrangements, parliament is to be
dissolved on the 2Sth. Before that
time the budget will be rushed
through and an immediate appeal
made to the constituencies.
Such is the program drawn up by
the government and assented to by
the king and it will be carried out to
the letter. provided the peers do not
capitulate on Monday. There are some
who think that as the opposition de-
cided it was we'll to come down out
of the tree. when it was quite sure the
man meant to shoot. the lords will
decide that discretion is the better
part of valor and accept the veto bill
at the eleventh hour. If they did
there would be no need for general
election and parliament would run its
course. but it is very doubtful whether
the peers have sufficient of the in
stinct of self-preservation to induce
them to adopt this course.
Had Chance to Retreat.
They had chance of retreat with
honor when the conference was sit
ting. Their rejection of the olive
branch offered by the Liberals would
seem to indicate that they were de-
termined to have one more fight to a
finish before surrendering their veto.
If we must capitulate they said let it
be to the constituencies and not to
the conference. But now that they
are looking down the muzzle Of the
Liberal blunderbuss. their courage
may begin to ooze out of their finger
tips. The king has at least secured
them another hour in which they may
repent. while the lamp holds out
to burn. the vilest sinner may return" :"
and it would undoubtedly be the wiser
course If they could make up their
minds to bolt the veto bill and make
the best Of it.
Tariff reform promoters are furious
at the prospect of another election in
which tariff reforms would be definite
ly shelved and they are said to be
comprising heaven and earth in order
to induce the peers to yield and to
pass the bill. Some have suggested
that the lords might be induced to
swallow the bill II they were allowed
to add to it that in case of grave diff
ferences between the two houses. the
matter should be referred to refer
endum of the people. But the terms
of the government are absolute. The
bill must be passed as it stands, with
out the alteration Of a comma or the
addition of proviso.
Urge Referendum.
To stipulate for the referendum
would enable the lords to appeal to
the country whenever they pleased.
Personally. Mr.. Asquith might have
no objection to the referendum II it
were limited to constitutional ques-
tions of the first magnitude, such as
home rule, and then only in case the
majority of the commons should fall
below. say, one hundred. But the
Irish would not listen to any such
compromise and II the lords demand
the referendum they will do SO merely
in order to secure what they consider
would be platform Of advantage at
the coming election.
All these calculations are idle. The
country has made up its mind as to
how 1t 10 going to vote and nothing
that the peers can say or do will in
