OF ITS PLAN OF BAT1 fl\ , % CLAIM IT WAS ANOTHER'S BODY Friend of Dead Belle Elmore Testifies to Hair and Clothing Found on Dead Woman In Cellar Crlppen Given a Chance to Whisper to Leneve Girl. London , Sept. 8. At the resump tion today of the trial of Dr. llawley H. Crlppen and Ethel Claire Leneve for the murder of the former's wife , Public Prosecutor Humphreys Intro duced evidence to establish the claim of the crown that the parts of the mutilated body found in the Crlppen homo once formed a part of the per son of Belle Elmoro , the missing wife , and to strengthen what has been pop ularly regarded as the missing link In the chain of circumstantial evidence against the accused. The first witness called was Mrs. Adeline Harrison , whoso acquaintance with Belle Elmore had extended over a period of twelve years. Mrs. Harrison risen was 'asked to examine Sstrnnds of hair found when the dismembered body was uncovered and , having done so , she swore that she recognized the exhibit as similar to that worn by Belle Elmoro. A torn bit of feminine un/lerwear also discovered by the searchers in the cellar was next introduced and the witness declared that she had seen Belle Elmoro clothed In undergar ments 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 risen testified she had seen a similar scar on the body of her friend. Crippen Whispers to Leneve Girl. The accused were seated in the dock within whispering distance and the doctor was given the opportunity to speak to the girl. Miss Leneve pre sented a woebegone appearance and d'd ' not seem anxious to converse. Crlppen , to whom his spectacles 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 replied In mono syllables. In his cross-examination o Mrs. Harrison , Arthur Newton , representing Crippen , detracted somewhat from the strength of the evidence and hidden tally indicated what Is believed to be the line of defense. In reply to Newton's question the witness assented to the suggestion that the hair , the portion of a woman's vest and the curling Iron found In the Crlppen cellar were not only similar to those worn or used by the missing woman , but also "resembled then sands of others. " When Mrs. Harrison left the stand , the prosecution called the chemist who claims that he sold hyosclne , a deadly poison , to Crlppen. The wit ness testified that the doctor pur chased the drug on January 1 saying that he required the poison for homeo pathic use. As Is required of purchas ers of poisons , he signed the registry book of the store , making this Inscrip tion : "Munylons per Crlppen. " Inspector Dew , who arrested the fu gitives and brought them back from Quebec , re-entered the witness box to day and read a lengthy statement signed by Crippen when the police first asked him to make an explana tion of his disappearance from London after suspicion had been directed against him. The gist of the state ment had already been covered by Humphreys In his opening address. Inspector Dew also testified regard- ing the search of Crlppen's house and told of finding there a revolver and a box of cartridges.
