Thousands crowded to get Into the Na

It was necessary to hold the funeral sr-
ices of the late Senator Jonathan I ien-

prevented the much-hoped for outdoor ser

ator's late residence. Thousands who were
In the city were thus deprived of the privi
lege of hearing the various simple tributes
paid by great men to a heroic life, ended
in the leiilth of its triumph. Thousands
more were thus prevented from coming
to the city troin numberless farm homes
that ficl a personal bereavement in the
senator's death; others gave up automo
bile trips. Many more, how many can
only be imagined, realizing the futility of
trying to gain entrance to the armory, did
not come from out-of-town places. Not
withstanding this condition, however, the
city waa filled with mourners from home
and abroad and 2,000 were able to get
Into the armory. These were largely rela
tives, the Illustrious national arid state
visitors and Intimate friends, who, of
course, were given precedence over others.
Viewed By Loving Ones.
Weuuesday afternoon thousands passed
tho bier of the senator as It rested on the
residence veranda In simple gray casket,
lined plainly with gray cloth, but lovingly
caressed by a myriad of beautiful flowers.
It had been arranged that the public
must give up Its right to view the reuialiib,
at 1 o'clock, before the funeral. The iam
lly thought to have a last quiet hour wltu
the departed loved one.
Everything possible was done to carry
out . this wish and though some people.

crowded toward the houhe, to injure good

a great throng outside the armory as soon '
as this was learned, and when the en
trance was possible, the building filled
rapidly, stats being reserved for the family
and special friends.
It had been tho plan to have no music ut
the tervlce, but the Empyrean quartet of
Mason City that had participated with
Senator Dolliver on many Chautauqua
programs asked lo furnish music as a last
tribute to the man they had como to love.
Tho request was graciously grunted by the
family and they opened and closed the Im

Wlilrli Went Awny i lden
Whose Body Wita Found
la Hnement.
LONDON, Oct. 20. Dr. Hawley Crippeu
faced his accusers from the witness box
today.
It was a dramatic moment when the
diminutive figure of the American dentist
emerged from the ccunparatt ve Isolation of
the dock and took a pot.lt km where he was
stared at with tntore.-si' by the throng that
filled the New Bailey court room.
Crippen was pale, buj jiis composure that
has remained ninrri -warTirsl charged
with the murder of 4ils actress-lf, Hello
Elmore, did not desert him. He stepped
quietly, but quickly Into the box, and,
holdln tne Bible ln ,l18 hand' took the
oath calmly,
Under the tactful guidance of his coun
sel, Crippen gave a sketch of his career.
Ho had studied the theories, but had not
taken a practical course in surgery. He
had performed a post-mortem.
The drugs Crippeu had purchased in Ens
land, he explained, were wholly for his
own preparations, lie explained the pur
chase of hyoscln. the poison which the
crown alleges was used to kill Hello El
more, by saying It was required for use In
the treatment of nervous cases am de
scribed his formula In making up iiyoscln
tabloids. Of the hyoscln which he pur
chased on January lit. the doctor said he
had used about two-thirds.
The prisoner admitted there was a scar
ou the body of ids wife four and a half
Indies ln length. U was caused, he said,
by an operation twelve years ago. He had
never administered hyoscln to Ids wife.
He had no Idea whose was the body un
earthed in the cellar of his llilldrop
Cresctnt home. In fact he was not aware
that a body had been burled there until
he returned to England under arrest.
Crippen told of the gradual alienation of
his wife's affections until the climax was
reached ln a quarrel on the night of Janu
ary 31, last. His wife, he said, had accused
him of a lack of attention to Mr. and Mrs.
Martinet!!, w ho had spent the cevnlng with
them. They quarreled and on the follow
ing day Ids wife went away. He bore out
his counsel's statement uf an ulleged plot
which he had lorined to escape from the
suanier Montrose.
He cald the quartermaster had told him
the captain had recognized him and Miss
Lcueve and that lie was to be arretftod
when the steamer landed.
I no quartermaster oneitd to make a I
splash In the water during the night, when i
Crippen was to pretend to commit suicide, j
The quartermaster had told him there was
no charge asainst Miss Leneve, and he
planned to separate from her for a time,
but he left his proposed addres In America
so that he mtcht Join her later.

Nothl.ig fdiort of a signed confession from
Gilbert M. Hitchcock that he borrowed
state money from Treasurer Hartley and
refused to pay it back will convince the
democratic slate committee that the sen

Bart ley shortage.
"Do you believe that Mr. Hitchcock is

"I believe he Is Innocent," replied Mr.

"Whatever Joseph Hartley has to say

So It Is clear that when Edgar Howard

Kernes to Hoar Howard.
Even though Mr. Hitchcock lias answered
the evidence produced by Edgar Howard
only with charge of "blackmail" and
"Mar," the state committee had no ear
for the Columbus editor.
Tho committee did not even auk Mr.
Hitchcock to produce the letters mid notes
which represented a. debt of between I3.0HC
and K000 that he owed to Hartley,. which
he nettled for Sl.MWt All l tlrtsse notes
and letter were turned over to the drvno

three-fifths of the amount of the interest
due on the loans. Joe Hartley turned over
all these papers to Hitchcock and their

Hartley might have photographed the evi

nothing left for him to do but go ahead
with it.

his choice that ho wa forced to take a
hand in this campaign. He came to tho
front only when Gilbert M. Hitchcock hud
denounced one of his warm personal friend
as a llur and he himself a a blackmailer,
it was only because of Hitchcock a vicious
attack on Edgar Howard, followed by Ids'
charge that Joe Hartley was trying to hold

' view on the subject. He broke his silt-bus
that the editor of the Woi Id-Heiuld might

Hartley feels the ' sling of ingratitude" us
