fallen prey to the gruesome details
which We're being brought out
If this was the case the story Of
violent death had preyed less upon the
minds Of the women in the court
room. for they were calmly curious
concerning the evidence and the ex-
hibits. although they were thrown
into the smelling salts stage by the
i. dramatic scene when proceedings
were stopped.
Justice Aversion announced that a
recess would be taken until Greene
had been restored.
1t was two hours before the juror
had recovered sufficiently to take his
seat in the box.
During the long wait DR.. Crippen
gazed calmly about him or held whiS-
pered conferences with his counsel,
Alfred 4. Tobin, NJ p, Huntley len

The crowd became restless as the
time dragged on, and Inspector Dew
seemed anxious 10 get away At the
time when the case was so suddenly
stopped, Dew was reciting the history
of the chase after Crippen and his
companion.
Story of Investigation.
The fnspe ctor went back to the very
first, telling how Scotland Yard had
been notified that Mrs. Crippen was
mysteriously missing. and that an
investigation should be made.
The detective said that Scotland Yard
had first been apprised Of the suspicious
circumstances Of Mrs. Crippen's dis
appearance by John Nash, a theatrical
manager. Nash had returned from
America, where Mrs. Crippen's friends
were very much alarmed.
Following Nashs visit to the central
office Of London's detective force, Dew
said that he went TO 80 Hilldrop
Crescent, North London, where the
Crippens had been living, and inter
viewed Crippen.
The inspector later went to Crippen's
office and again to his residence, ac-

me that she had fed and that he was /
certain she was with Bruce Miller. who I
as a former actor, was quite friendly /
with her"
Going further in his story, Dew stated 1

was interrupted.
Defense Headed OFF.
THE remains must have been buried
for period Of time between four and
eight 'months, judging from their con-

one Of Prosecutor Muir's questions.
1t was absolutely impossible for the
remains to have been buried IN rbA
cellar from December Il. 1905. the date
when Crippen leased and moved into

Prosecutor Muir thus took a shrewd
tack TO fight the possible claim which
