An Accessory to Murder

CROWN'S G00NSELFA1LS
Trial of LeNeve Girl Began This
Morning Small Court Room
Crowded With Spectators, Mostly
Finely Gowned Women Crowd
Greater Than in the Trial of Crip
pen Girl Pleads Not Guilty to the
Charge of Accessory After the Fu'ct
to the Murder of Itellc Elmore.
(By Cable to The Times.)
London," Oct. 25 Ethel Clare LeNeve
was acquitted of the charge, of being
an accessory after the fact In the mur
der of Mrs. Belle Elmore Crippen, In
Old Bailey court this afternoon after
u trial that lasted less than a day
It was for love of Miss LeNeve that
Dr. H. H. Crippen, now under death
sentence, murdered his wife. The
crown's counsel, Richard Muir, could
not show that Miss LeNeve had
knowledge of either the American's
Intention or crime itself.
There were no witnesses called by
the defense. Immediately upon the
conciurion of the speech of F. E.
Smith, Miss LeNeve's attorney. Justice
Alvei stone delivered his charge to the
Jury and they retired,-' returning In 22
minutes with the verdict of acquittal
' Kvidence in the Case,
London, Oct. 25 stylishly attired In
H modish gown of deep blue and wear
lug- a Jaunty automobile bonnet and
a heavy veil. Miss Ethel Clare LeNeve,
the sweetheart of Dr. H. H. Crippen,
was urrainged in Old Bailey court this
morning chaiged with being an ac
cessory after the fact in the murder of
Belli? Elmore Crippen.
Miss LeNeve's sllni, rJirlish figure
was the center of interest as she stood
before the bar, and, in a sweet, low
voice replied to the court's Interroga
tion as to how she would plead:
"Not guilty, my lord." ,' :
Lord -Chief Justice , Alverstone, who
heard Crlppen's case . and sentenced
the American to death. Was a stern
and tiolemn figure in his black robes
as he opened court. It is believed by
soloritors who have followed the case
of Crippen that Miss LeNeve will get
off with a light sentence.
Barrister Arthur Newton appeared
as chief counsel for. the girl.
As the woman left the prison van
which had brought her from Jail police
man had to, use force to make a path
for her through the mob of curious
women. Inside the court room the
seats were filled with brilliantly
gowned women spectators. As the
pretty yoiing prisoner was led to her
scut In the prisoner's dock the tn
lookers craned their necks In the at
tempt to see her face through the
veil. "
The crowd was even greater than
during Crlppen's trial. There were
more women present also. ' Lines of
automobiles and cabs rattled before
Old Bailey court this morning dis
charging those who sought to attend
the trial.
Only ticket holders were admitted to
the court room and in the seventy-five
persons 'admitted there was only a
very small sprinkling of men.
The court room was enlivened with
picture hats, waving plumes, fans,
lorgnettes and bright women. As
Ethel LeNeve looked about the room
ami saw the gaze of all concentrated
upon her, she seemed to shrink back
In lier seat in an attempt to efface
herself as much as, possible from the
morbidly curious gaze.
Two" wardesses attended the prison
er and at times spoke comforting
words to her.
Before court was opened Miss Le
Neve and Mr. Newton held a long
whispered consultation. The girl had
removed her gloves and twisted them
about her fingers In a nervous man
ner. Once she raised her veil for
a moment but the curiosity . of those
about her was ; such that she hastily
lowered it again. X ' ,
The Indictment against the girl, con
taining these words," was read:
"The prisoner knowing Dr. H. H.
Crippen had murdered his wife did
afterwards, feloniously receive, com
fort, harbor, 'assist and maintain him."
Those :wo were near enough to the
girl to Bee closely saw that the beauty
which had lured Crippen Into murder
had not waned In prison. Ethel Le
Neve Is of slender type vwlth a great
mass of beautiful hair and a perfect
completion. Her features are regular
and of Grecian cast. She showed pale
ness from - confinement "but no traces
of worrv. .

There has been right much dlptheria

here and the school has gone on.
Near -Dawson's church, a few miles
from town, there were several casea
and two children in one family were
down at the same time. No deaths
have resulted that we have heard of,
except one or two colored children.
The disease has about been stamped

ROOSEVELT TALKS ABOUT I)1X.
Declares the Democratic Nominee is
Connected With the Wall Paper
Trust.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Canadaiga, '. Y., Oct. 25 Theo
dore Roosevelt went back at John A.
Dix, democratic candidate for gov
ernor today for Dix's reiterated de
nial, published this morning, that the
candidate was connected with the
wall paper trust, and that the Stand-
rd Wall 'Paper Company, in which
Dix holds stocks,' had any connection
with the original Standard Company
that was attacked by the United
States court.
To Dix's insistence that Colonel
Roosevelt ought to apologize to him
for having made the charges against
him, the ex-presldent laughed and ex
claimed: "There is no apology for Mr. Dix."
Colonel Roosevelt's attention was
rawn to the Dix statement on the
train on the way from Penn Yan to
this city. He read it through and
then. said: '."-.-.
"It is an established fact' that the
Standard Wall Paper Company was
defendant in the United States court,
and that It was denounced by the
court. That was in 1909, and at the
time Mr. Dix's partner, Julius Jack
son, was president of the trust. .Now,
I know nothing about the internal
affairs of the Standard Wall Paper
Company. ' I know that the Stand
ard was in court. It may be that the
company ceased doing business dur
ing the time the litigation whs on.
There was, however, only one Stand
ard Wall Paper Company at any time
in existence. That, fact stands out."
At Penn Yan,' Colonel Roosevelt
took another wallop at Tammany
Hall and the' Wall street organization
which he claims is out to beat him.
Referring to the circular urging
Wall street to contribute liberally to
the Tatnmany campaign fund to "beat
Rooseveltism". he said:
"Well they can spend all they
want,-but Harry Stlmsnn will be
elected."

SHERMAN FAILED TO
CALL ON PRESIDENT
(By Leased Wire to The Times.) ,
Washington, Oct, 25 Vice Presi
dent James S, Sherman stopped off
in Washington this morning on his
way to North Carolina, where he will
stump .the state for the republican
congressional nominees. Mr. Slier
n't:n called on Secretary Knox and
war department officials. He said af
terwards these visitis were purely
personal. -.
"What do you think of Stimson's
chances in New York?" he was asked
"I will not be interviewed. I have
nothing at all to say," was the reply.
The fact that the vice president
did not call at the wiiite iiouse for the
purpose of paying his respects to the
president caused much comment. It
was pointed out that Mr. Sherman
had not called on President Taft
since the hitter placed Mr. Sherman
in "ate Ananias Club for stating tliat
the president favored the vice presi
dent ovev Colonel Roosevelt for tem
porary chairman of the New York re
publican convention.
At the. -white" house, later, it was
said that no word had been received
there of Mr. Sherman's .arrival in
Washington and that it was not even
known that iio was in the city.

(By Cafile to The Times.)
Naples, Oct. 25 in the fear that
more than 50ft may be dead in the
cloudburst aijd tidal wave, govern
ment officials are doing everything in
tiieir power to get aid to 'the sto: iu
swept island of Ischia today and also
to obtain Ihe ical news of the situa
tion from there.'"-5
It Is believed thai the loss of life
has been heavy and that a number of
Americans may bo included anion
the victims as the island was a la
lorite resort for tourists. C'omnitin
ication was practically cut off to.Iay
the only information that ;ias reach
ed here being brought by ships that
passed near the Island.
Relief trains were rushed today to
Casamicciola, a town of 4,000 inhab
itants. The first report received
here said that the town hail been de
stroyed, but it is now known t hat-Lie
disaster is not as complete there as
had been - feared." '-Nevertheless the
major of that town sent wod that
there was heavy loss of lire.
The Italian coast was ravaged to
the south of Rome. Heavy damage
and loss of life was reporte.1 from
Cetara in the Gulf of Salerno. liven
in this city itself the ravages-of ihe
storm were apparent today. Mount
Vesuvius'. was in action, -threatening
an outburst. The mud streams,
which buried alive several families
yesterday, are still flowing from the
valcano but in diminished quantities.
Three battleships and lour cruis
ers arrived in the Bay of Naples to
day for relief work. Two vessels
were immediately ' sent to 1 scale,
which is sixteen miles southwest-of-this
city. Thu vessels carried iroops
to maintain order.
On account of the absence of tele
graphic communication and the great
excitement among the people, many
of the reports received here and at
Rome of the situation at ischia to
day were conflicting. The cloudburst
struck into a section largely inhabit
ed by Americans, who own villas
there, but it was later said that many
of the Americans were not in Italy at
this time of year, especially at. the
present time, on account of the chol
era scare in this city.
Ischia suffered from the tidal wave
Which rocked up out of the bay en
gulfing the wharves and the lowlying
section of the city. The piers, cus
toms houses and many vessels in the
harbor were damaged.
At Resina winch is built upon the
ruins' of Herciilaueiiiii, many were in
jured. Soldiers worked all through
the night rescuing the injured. from
the wrecks of building. Ten bodies
had been recovered today at Torre
Del Greco, at the foot of Mount Ve
suvius. A street, was totally destroy
ed by the streams of mud and lava
which flowed down from the crater of
the .volcano. Four or five families
perished; others are missing.
A flood was reported from Ainiilti
but the exact damage and loss of life
is not known. Refugees arriving to
day say that the impression prevailed
that hundreds of lives had been lost
at Casamicciola.
Thousands ot tons of lava and ashes
along the crest of the crater were
washed away.
An American painter named Rob
ert Hale, of St. Paul, Minn., has been
staying at Casniicciola. It is not
known what his late is, although it
is reported that he had left the town.
The poor classes are the worst suf
ferers, due to the fact that they lived
in wooden houses which were toppled
over and washed away.
Ten Bodies Recovered.
Palermo, Italy, Oct. 23 Twelve
Bodies were recovered today from the
ruins of buildings wrecked In the
great storm on Monday. It Is believ

were found pinned beneath wreckage,
The town was partially destroyed.

COTTON PICKFKS SCAIICIO.
Ten Wagons Could Only Kind Seven
Pickers in Xbis -City .Monday.
The cotton picking question by all
accounts is at present serious, as it
ever was in tais part of tne country,
The fields are snowy w.iite, nearly all
the cotton being open, and as late as
jesterrtay fields were seen in which
r.o picKing had been done. A lar
nier said that early Monday morning
ten wagons were in east Raleigh to
carry to the country pickers who
might be secured, but only seven
could he found to work.. The cotton
ot'ght to be picked as -rapidly as it
opens, for every day it is exposed
i here is danger of wind and rain.
W'.iat will be the solution of the
problem? No crop planted is so care-le.-y
handled as cotton. The ground
is . prewired . with great cure, many
millions oi dollars arc expended for
fertilizers, there is as much anxiety
in t lie curl v stages in the case of the
crop as there would be about a sick
Uiby, i ;;(i when opening time co'.ns.
Lie poor plant is largely lelt to idi:i.
for Itself; A very devout tanner says
that God, who in Mis goodness nas
r,!Vtn..thu cotton tor man's use, will
doubtless in His own good tune give
to. man the power to invent a ma
chine to pick it. That good time,' in
all reverence, now seems lo be at
land. Happy is the larnier who has
a small area in cotton and who has a
large family, so that i lie picking can
be done by his own -people; In all
seriousness, the picking question is a
very vital matter in this section of
the country just now.

HOUR FLIGHT
Daring Aviator Makes a Good
Flight on Dangerous
Field
FIELD MENACE TO 1IFE
Flew Twice Around the Course, at
Times Putting His Motor at Full
Speed and .Making Seventy Miles
an Hour Baldwin Declares the
-.Course' is the Worst He Has Ever
Seen and a Menace to Life and
Limb Sharp Rivalry Between
Kie.vel and Walter Brookins.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Aviation Field, Belmont Park, N.
Y., Oct. 25- With fitful gusts of wind
sweeping over the international
course, Captain Thomas F. Baldwin,
the American aviator, risked life and
limb in a daring flight here today.
In the "Red Devil,' his speedy bi
plane, he flew twice around the
course, at times putting his motor at
full speed and attaining a speed of
seventy miles an hour. :,
After Baldwin descended he V de
nounced the aviation course as a
menace to the contestants and pre
dicted that if the contests took place
as planned, there would be loss of
life. -
"This course is the worst I have
ever seen," he declared. "It is" a
menace to life and limb. Down at
the northeast .coyefs.'wherehe trfcee.
are, the wind is very treacherous and
this point has been well named, "the
grave yard." t
As a result of Baldwin's attack on
the course, the probability of a strike
of American, French and English
aviators grew, more pronounced to
day. The birdmen are worrying over
the existing conditions.
.1. A. Drexel seems to be the only
contestant who was not kicking to
day. Following his successful as
sault on the American altitude record
yesterday, he announced this morning
that he would go atter the world's
record of 9,186 feet, . now held by
W'ynmalen, a Dutch aviator who "'re
cently won the flight from Paris to
Brussels and return.
There has broken out a sharp riv
alry between Drexel and Walter
Brookins, the Wright pupil, as a re
sult ot Drexel's victory yesterday
and the contest between these two is
expected to furnish many thrills.
Drexel, who rose to a neigut of 7.
500 feet, in . his Blenot monoplane
and was, nearly frozen stiff In doing
so, told a thrilling story of his flight
today.
"1 could have gone further up,"
he said while tuning his monoplane.
'"My engine was working splen
didly, and the wind was bully. But
it was cold to say that it was very
cold would be putting it mildly. It
was so cold I began to feel as though
I was losing control of my arms and
so 1 had to come down."
Today's program follows:
Hourly distance 1:30 to 2:30 p.
in. Hourly altitude 1:30 to 2:30
p. ni.: hourly distance, 2:34 to 3:45
p. in.; hourly altitude, 2:45 to 3;45;
grand altitude, 4 o'clock; cross coun
try, 4 o'clock.
Preliminary monoplanes lor the
grand contest, 4 p.m.
Mr. Drexel furtaer said:
"What were my sensations during
the flight? I had gone. It was
purely a matter of business. When
my machine began plowing upward
through the air, my aim was to go as
high us I could, just as you newspa
per men try to write as forcibly and
clearly as you can.
"There was my aim, and I knew I
would st'rike a snag in the shape of
an area of icy atmosphere. That was
all I was afraid of. My engine work- ,
ed splendidly. ISevry part of the ma
chine was in perfect order. She re
sponded readily to every demand,-
"When my barograph registered
more than 7,000 feet it was so cold
that I found that I could not hold
the machine with safety end I had Co
