that DR.. Crippen had purchased deadly poison

a few hours after entertaining those friends on the
night of January 81, after which her constituencies

of the remains under the fagstones.
Crippen made other fatal slip. He had
buried with the remains bit of the armpiece of
suit of pajamas and the trouser portion of this same
suit was found upstairs in Crippen's boxes.
The jury lost no time in bringing in a verdict of
guilty. Crippen turned deadly pale and sank back

the execution and was told that the doomed man
in good spirits.
The peep hole in his cell door provided me with
means of observing him, and as gazed IN at the
man who had set the whole world by the ears mar
veled at his calmness. He sat there writing, and
would occasionally break off to chat pleasantly and
in most aable fashion with the wardens whose duty
it was to watch him night and day until the scaffod
claimed him.
Even though he was CARRIED in the hideous clothes
of convict Crippen possessed dignity that Smith,
of the Brides in the Bath" case never equalled,
though he tried hard to appear like gentleman.
Smith was whose mannerisms annoyed me- but
will say this for Crppen, execrated murderer though
he was, that he had natural amiability and innate
gentemanlness that captured the affections of even
his prison keepers
The day of execution was dark cold, foggy
morning, but notwithstanding this large crowd
gathered outside the prison. What they expected to
see cannot imagine. AS matter of fact, they
were not even to have the doubtful satisfaction of
hearing the death toll of the prison bell. This uSu
ally begins to ring the procession leaves the con-
demned cell for the scaold, but, out of consdera-
ton for the feelings of the three other men lying
there under sentence of death, it was decided to
drop the custom on this occasion. This decision was
typical of the way in which the prison authorities
everywhere always try to spare condemned men any
thing that will them undue mental suffering.
Dr. Crippen was up early, and was given his own
clothes to dress in. For the last time he donned his
famous gray frock coat and was taken forth to the
prison chapel to attend special service, at which,
apart from the priest and three wardenS he was the
only participant.
His face throughout wore set calm expression.
His wardens looked distressed than he was, and
nobody CHANGING at him would have realized that
this was the man who had committedla fearful MUIR
der, had attempted to commit suicide a few hours
ago, and who, in an hour and half. would have to
walk to the gallows from which he would never
turn alive.
The fatal hour of nine o'clock was almost upon
us when the usual knot of officials gathered in ST.

was thrown open and my assistant and l entered.

but it might have fitted any other

description was that the woman had

Nerve Specialist Makes
Study of Demented Ant

Zurich, Sept. 26-(AP)-The story
of demented ant is recorded in the
Swiss Archive for Neurology and
Psychiatry with all due scientific ser
iousness by DR.. Rudolph Brun, wide
ly known nerve specialist.
The ant was discovered in one Of
the artificially constructed nests for
scientific observation. The insect
ran about necessarily while others
remained quietly in the corners of the
nest, apparently stunning the de-
mented one. The momentum of the
wildly rushing ant was such that 1t
was unable to stop when anything in
it's path was encountered.
After six days the ant was dissected
and, under microscope, 1t was found
to have suffered a tumor in the left
lobe of the brain. which had de-
stroyed several Of the most important
centers.

The mystery of the disappearance
and present whereabouts of Cora
Perkins, the pretty little Is years old
Cony high school member of the
Freshman class, who dropped out of
ternoon sessions of the school last
Friday, obtained throughout We'd
nesday. Officials of the city and
county were baff1ed In their efforts
to uncovere any new clues as to
where the young girl is, and how she
went away, and the Portland police
were unable to furnish any informa-
ton of assistance as to the identity
of the two men who were seen talk
ing with the Perkins girl in Gardi-
ner Saturday afternoon.
On Tuesday, Sheriff Cummings
followed the trail to the down river
city. where It was established that
the girl had applied for work at the
Johnson House. She had told the
housekeeper Mrs. Hubert, that she
was II years old and came from IAN
up-river town." The girl was given
her luncheon at the hotel but was in
formed that she was too young for
such positions as girls were en-
ployed for at that hotel.
At Q o'clock the same afternoon
the pretty little high school student
was seen talking with two men who
had been registered at the. johnson
House as from Portland. 1t was be-
lieved that these two men had a
small roadster automobile, but the
registration number is not known,
and investigation Of the records at
the State House failed to disclose
the registration of an automobile In
the name of either of the two as tax
en- from the hotel register.
The Portland police informed the
Kennebec county sheriffs office on
Wednesday that they had been un-
able to locate the men wanted or any
car of the description furnished.
II Is the belief Of officials working
on the strange case that from Gar
diner, the Perkins girl had assistance
from someone. as it is fairly certain
that when she left Augusta, Friday
she had only SO cents in money.
The Journal is publishing a pic
ture Of the missing girl on the
chance that someone may recall
having seen the girl and be able to
give information to Sheriff Cum
mings which will aid In the state
wide search now being conducted.
Cora is an attractive girl with very
light brown hair, single bobbsd.
She has blue eyes, and Is about 1--WE
feet, three inches in height, weighing
Just under 100 pounds.

Heavy Wheat Crop

MaiD-The breadstuff crop in Swe-
den this year is more than twice as
large as that of last year and the re-
quirements for imports Of American
wheat flour will be correspondingly
reduced. Not since 1921 has there
been such a harvest. The greatest
gains have been made in rye and
wheat sown last fall. The unusually
mild winter is believed to have been
chiefly responsible.
The yield of rye has been more
than sufficient to satisfy the coun-

Time and Money Saved By
ReOrganiZed Rural Education

Denver, Oct. IA (AP)-Reorganiz
rural education in seven schools in
Logan county permitted 80 pupils to
accomplish two years work in one
year at saving Of $5,313.7S to those
paying school taxes. Similar results
are being obtained elsewhere in the
state, said Mrs. Mary c. c. Bradford,
state superintendent and former
president of the National Education
Association.
The plan is based on tests and
measurements similar to that tried
out in the cities, but more in the ex-
detrimental stage in sparsely popu-
lated rural schools. The tests class
ify students according to their men
tai ages. Mrs. Bradford hopes to re-
duce the cost and time in rural edu-
cation.
