DENY CRIPPEN REPRIEVE; MUST HANG WEDNESDAY Reported In London Wife Murderer Has Made Confession Leneve Girl Visits Prisoner.

London, Nov. 22. Dr. II. II. Crippen, convicted of killing his wife. 1 umwi. st UVIIU'U his petition lor a reprieve. When Crlppen's attorneys iniormed him of the decision of the homo office he merely bowed his head. When Solicitor Arthur Newton, who I conducted the defense of Crlppen, was abked regarding tho rumor that his client had confessed he refused to confirm or deny the report. Regardless of the fact that officials of Scotland Yard denied the report that Crlppen had confessed, It is asserted that a newspaper has obtained a confession from Crippen and in return will pay a largo sum of money to Ethel Clare Leneve. The Leneve girl visited Crippen in the Pentonville prison after the decision of the home secretary had been announced. The young woman for whose love Crlppen was charged with killing his wife wept and cried out hysterically as they talked. Grippen was deeply moved himself, more so, the prison attendants said, than at any time since his Incarceration. The friends of Doctor Crlppen have not given up all hope of saving him, and a second petition Is being pre pared urging the homo secretary to grant a reprieve on account of tho doubt existing whether Belle Elmore's death has been conclusively proved.

LEO TOLSTOI DIES

Astnpova, Nov. 21. Count Leo Tolstoi Is dead. Doctor Makovetskv and other attending physicians and Coun tess Tolstoi and children were at his side when tho end, which was peaceful, came. Efforts of tho church to gnther tho famous reformer Into Its folds effected nothing, as uelthur side yielded. Tolstoi, accompanied only by Doctor Makovetsky, left his homo nt Yasnaya Poliana for tho purposo of ending his days in solitude, to which ho more and more lucllned during his later years. Ills pilgrimage led him to tho monastery at Shamnrdlne, In ft province of Kaluga, where he remained as Jhe guest of his sister, Marie, who Is a nun In the cloister. Off to Join Followers. Learning that his retreat had been discovered, he Insisted upon proceeding on his Journey to the Caucasus, where he hoped to spend his last days close to the Tolstolan colony on tho shores of the Black Sea But during the railroad Journey he was overcome with exhaustion and the cold, and Doctor Makovetsky was compelled to have him transferred to the Hag station at Astnpiwa, where he was made as comfortable as possible in the rude wooden building. For five days ho had lain there suffering first from bronchitis und inter from Inflammation of the lungs. Spe cialists were called from Moocow und other places, but notwithstanding their utmost efforts, the heart of the great Russian responded but feebly to tho restoratives and stimulants administered. Sketch of His Career. Count Lyof Nlckolalvltch Tolstoi, usually called Count Leo Tolstoi, novelist and social reformer, was born August 2S. 1828, at Yasnaya Pollana, In the province of Tula, Russia. When twenty-three years old Tolstoi entered the army and served ln the Caucasus and ln the defense of Sevastopol against the British and French allied forces. He first made a reputation In literature by n series of vivid sketches written from Sevastopol, and when he left the army, soon after the Crimean war, he devoted himself entirely to literature. In 1901 Tolstoi was excommunlcnted by the holy synod and In October. 1902, ho deposited his memoirs and diaries with tho curator of the Rumyanzoff museum on the condition that they should not be published until ten years after his death, and in November of tho samo year he legally made over his whole fortune, including his real and personal estate, to his wife and children. Defense of Dukhobor Sect. In 1895 Tolstoi wrote a powerful defense of the Dukhobor Sect, which during tho year had suffered great persecution for Its religious profesfclons. On the Russian cenHor refusing to permit its publication, Tolstoi applied to the London Times, which printed the long article In full. Ho continued from that time on to address his literary efforts to the British pregB. Tolstoi several times was threatened with expulsion from Russia, and several times, according to report, was upon tho point of being exiled; hut he seemed on the whole to have been treated with unusual leniency, in view of his strongly pronounced views, especially as set forth in a manifesto entitled "Tho People's Rights." his criticisms of Imperial acts and his open letters to the emperor. He was, however, expelled from Moscow In July 1901, and slnco had resided at Yasnaya Pollana. KETCHEL'S BODY IS EXHUMED Brothers of Former Fighter Discover Evidence That He Was Beaten and Shot.
