CHARRED CORPSE
THAT OF ACTRESS,
IS THE EVIDENCE
Miss Leneve, His Affinity,
Shows Little Disposition to
Talk to Him at
the Trial.
London, Sept. 10.—At tho resumption
today of the trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crip
pen and Ethel Clare Leneve for the mur
der of the former’s wife, Public Prosecu
tor Humphreys introduced evidence to
establish theclaim of the crown that the
parts of the mutilated body found in
the Crippen home once formed a part
of the person of Bello Elmore, the
missing wife, and to strengthen what
has been popularity regarded as the
missing link in the chain of circum
stantial evidence against the accused.
The first witness called was Mrs.
Adeline Harrison, whose acquaintance
with Belle Elmore had extended over
I a period of 12 years. Mrs. Harrison
was asked to examine strands of hair
found when tho dismembered body was
uncovered and having done so. swore
that she recognized the exhibits as
similar to that worn by Belle Elmore.
Scar Is Identified.
A torn bit of feminine underwear
also discovered by the searchers in the
cellar, was next introduced and the
witness declared that she had seen
Belle Elmore clothed in undergarments
of a like texture. Testimony had been
offered before, showing that the lower
part of the body bore a scar, the result
of an operation. Mrs. Harrison testi
fied that she had seen a similar scar
on the body of her friend.
The accused were seated in the
dock within whispering distance and
the doctor took advantage of the op
portunity to speak to the girl. Miss
Leneve presented a woe-begone ap
pearance and did not seem anxious to
converse. Crippen, to whom his spec
tacles had been returned, for the first
time since his arrest, appeared as the
Crippen of early photographs. He
spoke to the girl anxiously and she re
plied in monosyllables.
Other Women Wore It, Too.
In his cross examination or Mrs.
Harrison, Arthur Newton, representing
Crippen, detracted somewhat from the
strength of tho evidence and incident
ally indicated what is believed to be
the line of defense. In reply to Mr.
Newton's questions, the witness as
sented to the suggestion that the hair,
the portion of a woman’s vest, and the
curling iron found in the Crippen cel
lar were not only similar to those worn
or used by the missing woman, but also
resembles thousands of others.”
When Mrs. Harrison left the stand
the prosecution called the chemist, who
claims that he sold hyoscine, a deadly
poison, to Crippen. The witness testi
fied that the doctor purchased five
grains of the drug on January 19, ex
plaining that ho required the poison for
use in homeopathic preparations. As
is required of purchasers of poisons, h‘>
signed tho registry book of the store,
making this Inscription:
"Munyons; per H. H. Crippen."
Dew Testifies Again.
Inspector Dew, who arrested the
fugitives and brought them back from
Quebec, re-entered the witness box to
day, and read a lengthy statement
signed by Crippen when tho police
first asked him to make an explanation
Df his disappearance from London
after suspicion had been directed
against him. The gist of the statement I
had already been covered by Humph- !
reys in his opening address.
Inspector Dew also testified regard
ing the search of Crippen’s house and
told of finding there a loaded revolver
ind a box of cartridges.
The statement which Crippen made
to Inspector Dew concluded:
"My belief is that my wife has gone
to Chicago to join Bruce Miller.”
QUAKER CITY MUNYON
DISAVOWS DR. CRIPPEN
Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—The testi
mony of a London chemist in the Crip
pen trial today, in which the witness
stated that Crippen purchased five
grains of hyoscine on January 19 for
use in homeopathic preparations, and
that Crippen signed "Munyons, per
H. H. Crippen," in the chemist's reg
istry book, was shown to J. M. Mun
yon, of this city, by whom Crippen
had been employed.
Mr. Munyon stated that tho deadly
poison was never used by him in his
preparations, and that Crippen never
put up any remedies for him, as all
that work is done in Phlidadelpliia.
Mr. Munyon further said that Crip
pen severed his connection with the
Munyon interests in December, 1909.
He had been engaged only to answer
medical correspondence for the com
pany.

SOCIALIST MAYOR
JOLTS ROOSEVELT
IN FIERCE TIRADE
The Colonel Declares That the
Wisconsin Legislature Is
Bound to Elect
La Follette.
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 9.—“It has
been stated to me since my arrival
here," said Colonel Roosevelt today,
"that in spite of Senator La Follette’s
having carried the primaries in a fair
and open contest, an effort will be made
to beat him in the legislature. I do
not for one moment believe this, be
cause any such conduct would be from
every point of view an outrage and a
deliberate violation of good faith.
"When In Oregon the democratic
candidate for Senator, Governor Cham
berlain, carried the primaries, and it
was proposed that the republican
legislature should turn him down, I
very strongly and publicly took the
position that such an act would be one
of bad faith by the legislature toward
the people, and I take the same posi
tion in regard to Senator La Follette.”
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 9.—Shortly
after Colonel Roosevelt arrived here
today, and before he sat down to
breakfast at the Pflster hotel, he found
himself Involved In a controversy with
lEmil Seidel the socialist mayor, who
had declined to act on the reception
committee which welcomed the colonel
to Milwaukee.
In a contribution to the "Big Stick,”
a newspaper published by the Milwau
kee Press club for this occasion Mayoi
Seidel stated that "if Mr. Roosevelt
comes to Milwaukee holding the same
ideas which he expressed in his maga
zine article of March 20, 1909, It is clear
that he cannot serve the cause of hon
esty and decency in American political
life.”
"It is possible that I have misunder
stood the article,” stated Mayor Seidel,
"but inasmuch as I am a socialist and
he has designated socialism as a thing
which is against morals and religions,
abhorrent’ ’revolting’—which would
'replace the family and home life by a
glorious state of the free lunch counter
and a state foundling asylum’—I am
sure that he will be pleased that I am
not personally connected with his re
ception in the city.”
Charging the colonel “with a cun
ning and deliberate purpose to create a
false impression,” he declared that the
visitor “could lay no claim to the right
Df preaching either morality, religion
or civic righteousness.”
riooseveir makes nepiy.
"In the speaking tour of Mr. Roose
velt through the west,” said Mayor Sei
del, "I fail to see anything of impor
tance beyond political plans and de
signs. As such, of course, it is of no
Special service to the present city ad
ministration. The problems that now
confront our city are of much the
same nature as those the nation faces."
On being shown this statement Colo
nel Roosevelt promptly said:
"On this trip I have made no parti
san political speeches, and of course
shall not break through the rule now
by discussing either state party mat
ters or municipal party matters. At
present, of course, the dominant mu
nicipal party in Milwaukee is the so
cialist party.
“If any one wishes to know my views
on what is usually called socialism,
they will find them set out in such
fashion that it is impossible to misin
terpret them or misunderstand them,
in the magazine articles to which the
mayor in his letter refers, and I advise
them to read the articles themselves
and not what the mayor says of them.”
'die Press club's special publication,
■'The Big Stick." especially disavowed
responsibility for the mayor’s utter
ance, saying that "Mr. Roosevelt will
understand that Milwaukee's welcome
Is none the less whole-hearted—hardly
the less unanimous—because the mayor
has seen fit to voice a socialistic dis
like for the former head of the na
tion."
In spite of the failure of the mayor
to join in welcoming Colonel Roose
velt. the Press club had prepared a
most strenuous program, including half
a dozen speeches between breakfast
and luncheon time.
Realizing that this program was im
possible of execution, they cut it down
so that the morning hours will include
only visits to the Boys and Girls
'**ade schools, the colonel making it
plain before he started to inspect them
that his visit would be purely one of
education for himself, and not to teach
the people conducting the schools any
thing about their work.
FILIBUSTER GREW IS
NABBED IT POLICE
Unknown Crowd, Fitting Out
for tlie South, Is Arrested
in New York.
New York, Sept. 9.—What the police
suspect to have been an attempt to
contribute materially to the cargo of
some unknown vessel fitting out here
for a filibustering expedition, was
frustrated today by the seizure of a
launch in the upper harbor. The cap
tured craft contained two men and
packages containing 19.000 rounds of
ammunition. The cartridges evidently
were intended for use in the newest
of revolvers.
The men told the police that they
had been given the ammunition by a
man in the Erie basin, who paid them
to deliver it to a vessel at a Brooklyn
pier. They were unable to give either
the name of the man or tile vessel,
they said. The police seized the cargo
and locked the men up pending further
investigation.

Majority of Points in
Its Favor.
The Haugue, Sept. 9.—The century
old fisheries dispute, the source of con
stant diplomatic friction between th®>
United States, Great Britain, Canada,
and Newfoundland, was finally closed
today, with the award of the inter

favor of the United States. The Amer
ican government is sustained on point*.
2, 3. 4, 6 and 7, out of the total of tbs.
seven points in which the issue was
framed. Great Britain wins on ques
tions 1 and B.
While the United States triumphs orr
five of the seven points, point B, decided
in favor of Great Britain, has been
held by the Englishmen as the most im
portant of those submitted. This was
stated in the form of this question:
“From where must be measured the
three marine miles of any of the coasts,
bays, creeks or harbors refererd to In
article 1 of the Amerlcan-Brtdsh treaty
of 1818?"
United States fishermen claimed the
right to take the measure from any
part of the British North American
shore and therefore the liberty to fish
In the middle of any Canadian bay or
estuary having a radius of more than
three miles.
The British contention was that the.
limit should be measured from an Imag
inary line connecting the headlands.
The peace court sustained the British
contention.

ecution he will begin the publication
at state bulletins about the first of
the year.

tinguish the urban from the rural pop
ulation in each county and those liv
ing in villages or cities of more than
t,000 people will be assigned to tho
former class.
Comparisons with the population of

show the tendency of given localities,
cityward or countryward. Following
this there will be a classification for
each county as to color, race, nativity,
sex, educational qualifications, etc.
Statistics regarding voters also will 'v
be presented, affording congress, if it;
so desires, an opportunity to detennina
whether citizens are being disfran
chised in any section of the country, as.
has been asserted is the case.
