CRPPEN LOSES
HTS IRON NERVE
Accused Wife Slayer Is Greatly
Agitated When He Appears in
Court In London.

LONDON. Sept. s.-Dr. II. II. Grip
pen has lost his iron nerve When
the accused wife-murderer appeared
in the Bow Street police court today
at the resumption of his hearing on
charge OF numbering his wife, Belle
Elmore. II was plainly seen that Tues
days development OF the discovery
OF hyoscin poison in the body sup
posed to be that OF his wife had work
ed great change in him.
Tuesday Crippen was possessed OF
the utmost sang-froid. Today he was
agitated and he was overheard TO con
verse anxiously with Miss Ethel
Clare Leneve. his former steno-
grapher, who is charged with being
an accessory after the fact. regarding
the testimony oil analyst Wilcox that
he found more than half grain OF
hyoscin in the body OF the murdered
woman.
Mrs. Smythson. OF Brixton. testified
that she saw Miss Leneve wearing
brooch that had belonged TO Mrs.
Crippen, at the music hall ball. she
said Crippen told her his wife had
died while en- route to America TO
visit her family and that he intended
10 have the body cremated and the
ashes brought back TO England. Mrs.
Harrison also of Brixton. testified
that she recognized a dressing jacket
found among Miss Leneves effects as
similar TO one worn by Mrs. Crippen.
Miss Leneve showed the greatest In
terest in the testimony regarding her
possession OF the effects OF Mrs. Grip
pen. II was not. however. until In
spector Dew Of Scotland Yard took
the stand that Miss Leneve showed
any agitation. Dew testified that he
saw Miss Leneve at Crippen's Hill
drop Crescent home on June 30, and
that she told him she was the doc
tors housekeeper.
When | questioned her closely,
Dew said. she admitted her identity.
She was greatly agitated at my dis
covery OF her relations with the doc
tor"
Mrs. Harrison gave damaging testi-
mony against Crippen by her declar'
alton that strands OF hair found on
| the body of the murdered woman were
similar TO Mrs. Crippen's hair. Mrs.
| Harrison also said that piece OF an
under garment found with the body
was OF same quality, color and tex
ture as underwear that she knew Mrs
! Crippen to have worn. After hearing
the description of scar found on the
victim. Mrs. Harrison said II tailed
with a scar on Mrs. Crippen.

go long way towards identifying the

The address OF President John W.
Whittington. OF the National Associa-
lion OF Lie Underwriters, was the
discriminating feature OF the Thurs
day morning session of the associa-
tion. which is holding its twenty-first
annual convention in the commodious
and artistic assembly hall OF the Ho-
tel Pontchartrain. He made IA strong
plea for honest methods In the sale
OF life insurance. giving the plan OF
Iebating particular condemnation. he
said In part:
1T Is source of great encourage
ment to note that our men are stead
lily improving, both in their general
knowledge of the business, and sales;
manship ability. The ability 10 which
refer Is not of that type unfortunate
~ prevalent q few years ago, when
the slogan was Get the business. no
matter how but to that order OF abil-
ity, which, prompted by accurate in
formation and intelligence, backed up
by genuine honesty, brings results in
the shape of good clean business.
To-day we have cooperation
among our members which is living
vital thing; our members are loyal TO
one another. adopting only clean
methods, and devoting TO the inter
ests of the business their best ser
vice and efforts. AS a result the field
work is being placed on plane
where II rightly belongs.
I'VE need today, as never before,
now that the business as whole has
been through a period OF readJust-
ment. and Is on a much higher plane
than In the past, now that the best
of agency men everywhere occupy
position far in advance OF any thought
OF q few years ago, We need, say, 10
educate TO proper methods. those who
still need education, TO rebuke the Of
tenders against decent methods, and
point out the path which under new
conditions will not only be the path
of honor, but Of greatest success.
For many years we have been
steadfastly fighting to stamp out re-
batting and twisting, two OF the great
est enemies OF progress. How well
we have succeeded can not be an
swered by any one man. The evil
has not been entirely blotted out, but
gs twisting is a question of education.
It will take time. and patience, TO in
form the policyholder of its evils. and
II will also take time, and patience.
TO eliminate the undesirable class OF
agent who would stoop To such prac-
tees. Relating is a question OF COM
mon honesty, and il behooves us In
dividually and collectively to re-
double our efforts in the fight for re-
form along both these lines. The

is invariably an outcast from the
