Ortega Manilla, one of the leading Spanish publicists, sends to the Imparclal, of this city an Interview which ha has Just obtained from a tllgh personage In Lisbon, who was closely connected with the court of King Manuel. The latter blames corruption in government circles for. the fall of the Portuguese monarchy. King Manuel's downfall," he Is quoted as saying, "was inevitable, since the people had lost all faith In the monarchy. The late King Carlos did not bequeath to his son a legacy of popular favor, but the blame for the real divorce between the monar chy and the nation must be laid on the shoulders of the officials who. In the exercise of their governmental function, had recourse to the most ar bitrary proceedings and displayed such unbridled rapacity that they made constitutional government Im possible. 'They brought the royal family into contempt, dislocated the entire ad ministrative service and aroused pop ular hatred by their Illegal proceed ings. The workers were robbed and the favored "ew grew wealthy. AH this worked In favor of the revolu tionists' Ida ns.

Crippen, accused murderer of his wife, Belle Elmore, matched wits today with Richard Mulr, one of the cleverest criminal lawyers in Eng land. Before Dr. Crippen entered the witness box, Lord Chief Justice Alver stone announced that the Jury at their own request later In the day would bo allowed to examine microscopically the skin from the part found In the Hill Drop Crescent cellar, which the prosecution alleges bears a soar such as Belle Elmore received 12 years ago. The defense contends that there Is no scar; that what a pears as such was caused by a fold In ths skin. The Crose - Kxan dilation . In witness box Dr. Crippen rested his elbows on the railing, clasped his hands and looked Inquiringly about the court room. Mulr asked him whether he had seen his wife since S Kehrnarv 1. He ratified in IVi. nam tive. He said he could not prove that .he eft tha houle . .live. He nnixul s went to Bruce Miller, a nrif. slonul acquaintance, in Chicago. He said the last he saw of her waa on ths morning of February 1. Returning In the evening he found her gone, as re said she had threatened. Rr. Crippen made no effort to locate her. lie said that possibluy the human parts found In the cellar had been placed there during the absence of himself and wife. It developed that no time was lost in establishing Ethel Clara LeNeve, the doctor's typist, In the Hilldrop Crescent home. He ad mitted that she slept there on the night of February 2, within 14 hours after his wife disappeared. Dr. Crippen waa under cross-exam ination practically four hours. Dr. Turnbull, director of the pathological institute of Gordon hospital, waa called lot the defense. He said tha so-called scar on the body could not possibly be a scar. Dr. Reginald Wall was called next by the defense. He testified that ss a result of three examinations he had concluded the disputed mark was not a scar. This closed the evidence for the defense. Orlppen's Story. It was a dramatic moment yesterday afternoon when the diminutive figure of Hie American dentist. Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, emerged from the comparative leo la- Ion of the commodious dock, and look a position where he was stared at with intense interest by the curious throng that filled the New Bailey urt room. Dr. Crippen waa pale, but his composure that has remained since he waa first charged with the muider, did not desert him. Under the tactful guidance of his counsel Crippen gave a sketch of his career. He had studied the theories, but had not taken a practical course in surgery. He had performed a post mortem. The drugs which he bad purchased In England, he explained, were wholly for his own profession. He explained the purchase of hyos- cin, the poison which the crown al leges was used to kill Belle Elmore, by saying that It was required for use In the treatment of nervous cases. and described his formula In making up hyocln tabloids. Of ths hyocln which he purchased on January 10 the doctor said he had used about two thirds. The prisoner admitted that there waa a scar on the body of his wife four and a half Inches In length It was caused, he said, by sin operation 12 years ago. He had naver admin istered hyocln to his wife. He had no idea whose was the body unearth ed in the cellar of his Hilldrop Cres cent home. In fact he was not aware that a body had been hurled there un til he returned to England under ar rest. Crippen told of the gradual alien ation of his wlfs'a affections until the climax was reach I In a quarrel on the night of January II last Hat wife, he said, had accused him of a lack of attention te Mr. and Mrs. Martlnettl who had spent ths even ing with them. They quart Med and on the following day his wife went away. Earlier In ths day ths prosecution closed Its case, and Alfred A. Too for the defease made his opening ad ds- dead. '
