DR.. CR|PPEN TO Be EXECUTED
Convicted Of Brutal Murder Of Ac.
tress Wife and Sentenced to be
Hanged on November g..

London.-Dr. Hawley H. Crippen,
after a trial extending over five days,
was on Saturday found guilty of the
murder of his wife, an American wo-
man, known on the stage as Belle Ell.
more. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone,
who presided at the trial, sentenced
Crippen to be hanged on November
8. The date originally announced was
November Is, but the sheriff has ad-
vanced the date one week.
There is, however, the strongest
prejudice in England against execut-
ing a man on circumstantial evidence,
and an incident at the close of Grip
pens trial has caused the impression
that the jury may have recommended
a life sentence.
After Crippen was sentenced, the
foreman of the jury handed to the
lord chief Justice a note, after looking
at which the justice said: THAT
be forwarded to the proper
quarter" The proper quarter"
might e the home secretary, who
has jurisdiction in such matters.
DR.. Crippen was convicted of the
charge of having murdered his wife
and burying her body in quicklime in
cellar at their home.
