In passing sentence Justice Alver stone asked Crippen If there was any reason why sentence should .not be parsed upon him. .'Crippen replied calmly: ' "I still protest my innocence." The 'court further said: "Hawley Harvey Crippen, you have been convicted upon evidence which could leave no doubt In the mind of any reasonable man, Jhat you cruelly poisoned your wife, then mutilated her body. I advise you to entertain no hope of escaping the consequences of our crime. "I implore you to make peace with Almighty God." Crippen seemed suddenly to realize his predicament as he was led from the court room and seemed dazed as he was escorted by --wardens. ; Phe date of Crippeu's execution was set for either November 1 or Novem ber 15. It Is possible that his appeal will not have been passed on by that time. - -. , . The ease went to the jury this af ternoon after a charge considered highly favorable to the defense had been made by Lord Chief Justice Al- erstone. "You must be quite convinced that the remains found in the cellar of rlppen's home were those of Belle Elmore," declared the Justice In sum ming up his charge to the jury- "If there is any doubt at all that the pros ecution failed to make its case, you must give the benefit of this doubt to the defense. ; Crippen Is a most ex- lordinary man if he Is innocent. It is absolutely Impossible to fathom his mind..- He Is absolutely indifferent to the charge against him. "I remind you that the defence Is not satisfied that the remains found are those of the prisoner's wife but at -the same time Crippen made no effort to prove his innocence. Before considering the guilt or Innocence of the prisoner, you must be 'convinced of the identity of the remains," The charge to the jury was delivered immediately aftpr the crown's pros ecutor, Richard Mulr. had summed up for the prosecution in which Crippen was scathingly denounced. The chief part of the charge aimed against Crippen was In relation to his misrepresentation extended over a period of six months. Was that pos sible except with the knowledge that she was dead," said Justice Aiver stone, If Belle Elmore had been alive it would have been an extremely mean tiling on her part not to communi cate with her husband, knowing his predicament and the fact that a murder charge hung over him. "I question whether the case was covered by Crlppen's explanations." As Crippen was being assisted into the prison van to be taken back to Brixton prison, he collapsed and had to be assisted. His face was blanched to the color of chalk and he was trem bling in every limb. A warden prac tically . carried the little prisoner. A vast crowd had gathered outside Old Bailey and when Crippen appeared he was greeted with hoots and yells. ft" The head of the I'ennsvl.viiiiiii Itail- rojid, Prrsidi'iit .laines .Met ren, who stud the hi'iglit ii.lit or explanation upon the motives involved in the in crease in freight rates by railroads east of Chicago.

Thursday, the first day, will be given over to the merchants and manufac turers of the county. The second day, Friday, will be educational day, and Prof. Van n. chairman of the educa tional committee, says he expects fully five thousand children from the different schools of the county to be present. Hon. J. Y. Joyner, of Ral eigh, will deliver an address. Sat urday, the 19th, will be farmers' day, and rhis promises to be one of the most interesting and instructive fea- ture of the Week. Great crowds are expected in Lexington during these. days, and great plans are being made for their entertainment. First Train Over Southbound. The first train over the South bound railroad from Winston to tills city reached here Tuesday afternoon. The laying of the track has been com pleted to the Southbound depot, and the force of men are now working on the stretch between the depot and the Southern '.railway crossing. The completion of this road means great things for the city of Lexington and the community through which it passes. Lexington, with the addi tional railroad facilities that come in the completion of the Southbound, is readily recognized as ri logical point for the establishment of many dif ferent kinds of manufacturies, and already parties are looking favorably toward this city for the establishment of a $500,000 cotton mill for the manufacture of fine cloths. No pas senger trains will be run over the Southbound for some little time, per haps the first of the year, but freight. trains will be operated at once. Twenty-six miles of Lie track on the south side; from Lexington to Tuciier- towh, has been in operation for sev eral weeks. All the forces of work men hpve .been put to work on the concrete culvert under the Southern ailway and this will be finished with in the next few days, but Will have o stand for fifteen days to dry before rains may pass under, which means that it will be two weeks yet before trains will be run through from Win ston to Tuckertown. To-day, at 12 o'clock, the fiftieth and greatest state fair came to an end, and this afternoon the exhibits, shows, etc., are moving out. - The gates were opened at 8 o'clock as usual this morning, ahd the ad mission price was reduced '.to' 25 cents. Several hundred people en tered the grounds during the morn ing.

The horses and all live stock, to the number of 50, which came to the fair from without the state, were held up this morning by, State Veter inarian, Dr. Chrisman, until they. could furnish health certificates. This was done In accordance with a regu lation of the agricultural department which requires all animals from other states to have health certificates. The cattle were allowed to return home; provided the cars were dislnfebtfed, under the supervision of the United States inspector. This' concession was made by the United States 'de partment of agriculture to the fair In securing live stock for exhibition. State Veterinarian, Dr. Chrisman, aid assistant veterinarian, Dr. Wood. were at the fair grounds this morn ing looking after the matter of the health certificates, and bucIi stock as are entitled to these certificates will be released.

That the president will ask congress, at the short session beginning next Decem ber, to pass a bill definitely authoriz ing complete reciprocity with Can ada now is virtually certain as a re;- suit of the recent conference held by Mr. Tatt with Secretary Knox, Hertry M. Hoyt, counsellor of the state de partment, and Charles M. Pepper, of the bureau of trade relations. President Taft probably will make this project one of the leading feat ures of his message. If the necessary authorization is forthcoming this gov ernment will establish a trade bureau in Canuda, and Canada will do tike wise in Washington. . Negotiations toward reciprocity with Canada already have progressed far enough to warrant President Taft In ' making a definite recommendation to congress. The approval of the Brit ish government with regard to-the-ar rangements made last spring for giv ing the benefits of the minimum tariff rates to Canada undoubtedly rwlll be ' extended to the general reciprocity art rangement. n . a. v .
