THE CRIPPEN CASE.

A CONVICTION RECORDED. TRIAL OF LE NEVE. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, Oct. 22. Evidence was taken at tho last moment of a draper, who swore that Crippon purchased the pyjamas found with the body. Crippen, in a severe cross-examina-tion, was weakest in explaining bis flight. His medical witnesses and high authorities wore unshaken. Mr. Muir, in his address, said that with tho exception of tho actual anatomical proof there was no doubt that the body was Elmore’s. Tho Judge said it was remarkable that the prisoner did not take steps to get testimony in support of his evidence. Tho jury, after half an hour’s retirement. returned a verdict of guilty, and Crippen was sentenced to death. Crippon, when leaving the dock, protested ids innocence, Le Nove’s trial commences on Tuesday. A FATHER’S HOPES. (Received Oct. 24, 8.5 a.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Myron Crippon, of Los Angelos, tho aged father of Dr. Crippen, declares his confident belief that Bello Elmore is alive in the United States.
