A despatich from London says: 'After considering the evidence for just thirty minutes on Saturday the jury at the New Bailey returned a. verdict of murder against Dr. Haw- ley H. Grippen, who was accused of killing his wife, Belle Elmore. Lord Alverstone sentenced the prisoner to death, the day fixed being No- vember l5.

As Crippen left the dock he was supported by a. war- der; his face was blanched and he was trembling in every limb. Lat- er in the evening he suffered from severe fainting spells, and special medical aid was summoned to Brix- ton jail to treat him. He was greatly depressed over his condi-‘ tion and the imposition of the death penalty. A despatch from Halifax, N. 8., says: “Welcome then and a thou- sand weloomes in the name of the Canadian.
