London, Sopt'. 14. In tho dingy
Bow street polio court today Dr.
Popper, government nlyt, under
tho searching oross-examltiBtJon of
Attornoy Arthur Newton, repudiated
his' former tostimony id the Crippon
case, declaring that it was Impossible
for him to determine the sex of the
llmc-eaton body found In the base
ment of the house' occupied by the
Crlppons In North London.
Dr. Pepper said that the only wny
to determine tho quottiou of sex was
by an analogical Investigation, and
that with tho mutilated parts of the
body discovered no geneulno deter
mination of tho question could bo
reached In that way.
Ho , bolovcd, ho admitted, that
when ho flrst saw tho portions of
tho body that tho remains woro those
of sorao animal. It ' required closo
examination, ho said, to detormlno
that they woro parts of a human
body. That thoro could bo no mis
take (howovor, after tho examination
was onco raado, ho declared positive
ly. "I saw my orror," said Dr. Poppor,
referring to tho admission that he
had at flrst bellovod the body to bo
that of an animal. "Thero Is no ques
tion that tho body Is that of a hu
man being. Thoro could ho no mls
tako about that. I believe that thu
remains aro thoso of a woman, prob
ably o , a riilddlo-aged woman of
rather largo proportions. This Is in
dicated, and I may say almost estab
lished beyond doubt, by tho fact of
tho oporatlon of hyoscln poisoning. '
Dr. Copper said that the day after
tho body was found, July 15, he and
Dr. Marshall, one of tho exports for
tho crown, performed a post-mortem
examination, eliminating all doubt In
regard to. tho body bolng that of n
human bolng.
Then Attorney Nowton began his
cross-examination. Dr. Poppor made
damaging admissions, leaving tlio
identity of tho body dependent on
strands of hair found In curlers near
tho placo whoro tho remains woro
discovered, and on another lock of
hair found In u handkerchlof. Dr.
Poppor admitted that tho hair found
in tho curlers was dark, whllo that
in tho handkorchlof was of a light
color.
Dr. Pepper had previously main
tained that identity was established
beyond doubt.
Admissions made tutor In tho morn
ing when tho crown's oxport, Dr.
Marshall, tok tho stand, lonvc tho
question pf tho Idontlty of tho body
etlll in doubt. Identification, accord
ing to Marshall's statements on tho
stand, would dopond oh tho incldont
cited by Dr. Popper. It is believed
that, unless moro convincing evl
donco is discovered, the case against
Dr. Crippon Will -collapse.
Mile. Ethel Clalro Leneve, who
sat with Dr. Crippon. In tho prison
ers dock, was olated at tho result
of tho cross-examination. Suddenly
sho foil forward across tho railing
that formed tho front of tho pen.
Ilor elation gave placo to depression
and caused a complete collapse. She
Is on tho verge of a norvous break
down, tho physicians who attended
her today say, ns n result of the
strain of the trial. A recess was
necessitated by hou collapso.
Dr. Crippon was also highly olat
ed when the questions of the attor
noy for tho dofens'e showed tho case
of the Crown was weakening. Even
tho collapse of his companion could
not entirely undermine the good
spirits ovldont at the change In the
trend of the testimony.
Dr. Peppor during hlg examination
today said the scar on the body on,
which Crippon deponded on to help
Identify the body found In (ho Crip
pon ce'lar, wns an old ono and he
believed It had resulted from a sur
gical operation.
Popper said tho body had been
burlod betwoon four and olght
months when It was discovered. At
tornoy Nowto'n asked him If ho had
not secured tho facts from Inspector
Dow, before making the examlnatlor
and then endeavored to make tho ex
amination fit the Inspector's theory.
Popper donlcd that this was tho
case.

Alexandria, Va Sept. 14 When

Plorco, 13, who committed suicide, Is
hold, William Firth, Jr., married and
tho father of a family, will tell on
the witness stand of his love for the
little girl, their elopoment and her
tragic end when they were about to
be separated. Firth is a railroad
station agent at Chester, Pa. He
had known Ethel since she was
baby, and, according to his state
ment, frequently told her that some
day ho would steal her.
"A week ago," ho said today, tc 11
lug tho story of tho elopoment, "we
arranged to go away together. Mon
day night sho called me over the to!
ophono, and told mo she was ready to
go. Wo were going Into Mexico,
thence to San' Francisco and to tho
Orient.
"We went to Chicago, and there
made an attempt to take a train for
the South; Wo wore compelled to
lock the "night porter In tho station
basemont to prevent him from in
forming Ethol's parents In Alexan
dria of our whereabouts. As we left
Chester Ethol said to me: 'I'll never
go back alive.' I thought then she
was Joking.
Whon tho couple reached Alexan
dria they took apartments at the Ho
tol Kammol. Chief of Police Goods
traced them to the hotel, and, whon
they refused to unlock the door, lu
broko Into the room. '
As tho oincer forced his way Into
the apartment Miss Plerco shot her
self through tho head with a revolver
sho drew from a handbag. She died
almost Instantly.
In tho handbag was found the fol
lowing bit of verso, scribbled in :
child's hand on a scrap of paper:
"Dearest dear, night's shades
.softly falling;
The golden sun Is sinking In
West.
'Tis then for you my heart is call
