Undertaker and Morgue Keeper. Who Had Charge of the Re
mains Dug Up in the Crippen Basement, Charged With Us
ing Carbolic Acid, to Destroy the Odors, Denied It on the
Stand Identification of the remains as Those of Mrs,
. Crippen Has Not Yet Been Made at All Certain, and May
Never Be.
London, Sept. 12. The undertak
er and morgue keeper who cared for
tho decomposed remains found In
the basement of tho home of Dr. H.
H. Crippen In North London, spent
an uneasy half-hour today under tho
cross examination of Arthur Newton,
who Is defending Crippen In his
trial for the alleged murder of his
wife.
When tho post burial inquest was
called Newton asked that tho
morgue keeper and the undertaker
bo summoned. His object was to
secure from them an admission that
when they removed the body from
tho basement they used carbolic acid
to counteract tho odors.
If carbolic acid were sprinkled on
tho remains, Newton argued, tho
analysis mad by a chemist tending
to show the presonco of hyoscin in"
the stomach would bo worthless.
Both men, according to tho report,
had admitted- they used carbolic
acid.
On tho stand, however, they de
clared there was no ground for such
a report.
Newton also tried to show that tho
men when they removed the body,
shoveled It into a box, paying no at
tention to the stones and sticks that
wore scooped up. Ho declared that
this handling explained tho bruised
condition of the body.
Miss May, secretary of the Music
Hall Ladles' Guild, of which Mrs.
Belle Elmore-Crippen was a member,
testified that she dreamed she saw
Dr. Crippen strangling his wife.
This, sho said, was about the time of
Mrs. Crippen's disappearance. Mi3S
May told what sho knew of the wo
man's life and of Crippen's state
ments to her previous to his flight
from London with Mile. Ethel Le
neve, his typist.
Neither Crippen nor Mile. Leneve
was present at tho inquest.
Mrs. Paul Martlnelli, whoso sus
picions led to tho searching of the
Crippen basement, where the body
was found, testified she saw Mrs.
Crippen on the evening of January
31, a few days before tho woman
disappeared.
"Mrs. Crippen appeared to be in
excellent health and spirits," Mrs.
Martlnelli said. "Sho didn't speak
of tho American trip which Dr.
Crippen afterward said she was to
take.
"I became suspicious when she

To Frame a Constitution.
Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 12. Arl-
zona today is choosing-52 men to
frame the constitution which will
bo submitted to President Taft
and congress before tho territory
may assume the dignity of state-
hood.
Tho fight for seats in the leg-
islatlvo convention will proceed
along strict party lines. Tho Dom-
ocrats urged Incorporation in tho
charter of the initiative, referen-
dum and recall. The Hepubli-
cans opposed this on tho ground
that such radical provisions
might causo the failure of tho
constitution to pass the leglsla-
tlve and executive examinations
it must bear.
The Labor party, which made
its appearance hero when tho
statehood bill was passed, claims
It will elect several convention
delegates. The Socialists also
have a ticket in the field.

Tho thought that sho had met with

Tho Folk boom will bo tho princi

Livestock and Poultry Exhibits the Finest Ever Seen on the
Coast County Exhibits Are Superb, Astonishing Even the
Expert Farmers and Orchardists, and the Private Showings
of Oregon's Wonderful Products Are a Revelation Pavil
ion Crowded With Beautiful Things of All Kinds, and the
Attendance a Record Breaker.
No more Ideal conditions could bo
dreamed of or hoped for than thoso
which prevailed this morning In
forecast of the success of what
promises to be tho best nnd biggest
Oregon Stato Fair in history, the
main gato of which swung proudly
and smilingly opon to recolvo tho
public this morning.
It is bound to bo a grand success
In fact, it Is already a mooing,
neighing, bleating, grunting, squeal
ing, cackling, crowing, barking, coo
ing, gobbling, laughing, dancing,
howling, screeching, racing and
cheorlng success, Judging from tho
bqdlam of noises that emannto from
witlifn tho great enclosure, and, if
there is npjthing .missing to make Its
uiumuio success more complete,
that thing will certainly transpire
boforo tho end of tho week. It will
bo a gala week, a continued rVaud
of 'pleasure and festivity for tho big
crowds of merry-makers and sight
seers which will throng tho high
ways byways and avenues of the big
oxpojaltlon-from' nil parts of the
world; who will como to seo how
filings aro donoand should bo
done in Oregon.
Thoy will go to their homes in tho
several states in tho union nfler this
week, If thoy do not decldo to re
main in Oregon Indefinitely, after
viewing tho wonders and possibili
ties pf the greatest and most re
sourceful state In tho Union at this
great fair fest, to toll their people
and to patron after this exhibition,

ture. Everything was shlp-shapo
4md In rondlness for tho opening of
tho fair when tho gates wore thrown
onon at 7 o'clock this morning, with
tho exception of a little cleaning up
in somo of tho departments of ex
hibits which Is usunlly incident to
tho opening of such big Institutions,
but tho grounds, oxhlbits nnd de
partments generally were In bettor
shape this morning than they havo
ever been before. Which Is saying
n good deal to the credit of the mem
bers of the state board of agricul
ture and Secretary Frank Meredith,
who havo worked hard to mako the
fair tho success It gives evory prom
lso of boing. In fact it is hard to
conceive of anything that could hap
pen to mar the complete triumph of
tho Forty-Ninth annual Oregon
Stato Fair, asldo from n heavy
downpour of rain for tho balanco'of
the week, which scarcely can be
Imagined if the weather of tho
opening day is to be taken as a cri
