WILL BE HUNG IN THIRTY DAYS Lord Alverstone Passes Sentence Im mediately After the Verdict is Brought in.—Sentence May Be Commuted. London, Oct. 24.—Dr. Hawley H. Crippen was found guilty of hav- ing murdered his wife, known on the stage as Belle Elmore. The jury was out just thirty minutes. Lord Alyerstone, donning a black cap, passed the sentence of death upon Crippen. This was the only sentence possible under the verdict. There is a chance that this sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment, owing to the circumstantial nature of the case against the accused. Crippen received the verdict with a fair show of composure, as the speech of Muir and the instructions of the court had evidently prepared him for the worst. Crippen will be hanged Nov. 16. The trial of Ethel LeNeve as an ac-| cessory after the fact in the murder rs. Crippen will begin on next the rule in Engiand to allow three Sundays to intervene between a sentence of death and the execution. The trial lasted less than five days. Crippen’s conviction followed an im- passioned appeal by king’s counsel, R. D. Muir, in his closing address for the prosecution, and instructions by Pre- siding Judge Lord Alverstone that were considered unusually favorable to the prosecution. Muir contended that the circumstan- tial olaim against Crippen was com- plete in every link and declared that Crippen’s own story on the stand only strengthened the prosecution. He went carefully over the statements made by Crippen on the stand, and with clever analysis attempted to break down the accused dentist’s de- fense. As to the identifigation of the body supposed to be that of Belle Elmore Crippen, Muir declared there could be no doubt. “If there were no other means of identification than the abdominal scar,” he said, “that would be still enough. That Mrs. Crippen had just such a scar as was found on the remains in Dr. Crippen’s cellar, we have the evidence of a number of witnesses, including that of the prisoner. “The prisoner’s attempt to show that the body which we identified as that of his wife, might have been that of another person and be placed in his cellar without his knowledge, was real- ly too fantastical for serious sconsider- ation.” Muir argued that the body when found had evidently lain in the cellar not more than a few weeks instead of several years, as the defense had tried to show, and that not until the ab- sence of Mrs. Crippen began to occa- sion surprise and inquiry had Crippen left the home for a sufficient length of time for anyone else to have suc-|nepin county is valued by the state tax |commission at more than one-fourth cessfully entered the Hilldrop Cres- cent home and buried a body in the cellar. The imstructions consisted in the main of a summary of the testimony. The only feature that might have been considered in Crippen’s favor was the usual instruction that the jury should resolve any reasonable doubt that it might have in the prisoner’s favor. The instructions. generally supported most of the chief contentions of the closing speech of Counsel Muir. 1,250,000 Forest Ac: Burned.

Victim Was a Fruit Gardener, Aged | 64, and Slayer Is Son of Farmer, Winona, Oct. 25. — Developments came fast at Houston in Houstin Coun- ty, south of Winona, in a brutal mur- der mystery which was uncovered on Sunday afternoon. Chris Overby, 24 years old and son. of a prominent farmer, is in the county jail at Cale donia, a self-confessed slayer of Chron Olson, aged 65, a fruit gardener who has been living alone on the outskirts of the village. With his head beaten almost to a pulp, the recluse was found dead in bed Sunday afternoon by a neighbor- who called at the farm house to in quire about his health as had been his custom. Olson has a private telephone line connecting with the residence of Knute Kassa, who called at the home Sunday morning and received the re- ply that Olson was asleep. The informant gave his name as Christ Overby. Kassa visited Houston in the morning, not stopping at the house until his return trip home. There a grewsome find was made. The walls of the bedroom were spattered with blood and on the bed was the corpse of the man, distorted and dis- figured. Finger prints were visible on the neck of the dead man. A trail of blood, as though made by fingers dripping with blood led to the wash basin in an adjoining room. There the hands still bloody, were wiped on a towel. In that condition the authorities, who were immediately notified, found the interior of the little home, Coroner Phines of Caledonia, decided to hold an inquest and immediately ordered the apprehension of Overby who was missing. He was located near his home on Oak Ridge, west of the ¢village, and taken into custody. Before the cor- oner’s jury he admitted his guilt, giv- ing as his defense that Olson struck him first with a gun. He said he took it away and struck his assail- ant, who fell. When he attempted to arise he struck him again and then placed the bleeding body on the bed. On Saturday the young man and his aged victim had been drinking together in the village and they re- turned to the home intoxicated in be evening together. The crime too place after breakfast the following orning. STRIKE BREAKERS ARE INJURED. Riotous Scenes Follow Express Walk- out in New York.
