Dr. Crtppen was today found guilty by the Jury on the charge of murdering hi actress wife Belle Elmore Crlppen. The penalty Is death. Counsel for Crlppen announced at once that an appeal would, be taken. The Jury considered the evidence thirty minutes. , The ' verdict was a surprise In view of the favorable aspect put upon a part of the charge to the Jury delivered by Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, who made It plain that any doubt as to the identity of the human remains 'found In Crlppen'i cellar would preclude a, verdict of guilty. Pr, Crlppen received the -verdict and sentence with stolAttracted by the fact that Prosecutor Mulr would address the Jury and by the probability that the trial would end today with, perhaps an Immediate verdict, the greatest crowd In the five days course of the trial fought for entrance to hlstorlo Old Bailey. Meetly Women Attend. Th. li.fiAaAmlr cowned women .In the court room took their accustomed places but there were many new faces among them. There were but few men present. ' As Mulr opened his address, Crlppen leaned back In his chair with his hands folded In his lap and gased Idly about him. He seemed highly pleased at the progress of his case although an . the prosecutor began to whip stinging epithets he leaned forward in his chair and grew visibly ill at ease. The jurors divided their attention between Mulr and the accused man but the eyes of the regiment of fern- . lnlnlty were for Crlppen and no other. Mulr painted a graphic picture and at he asked that a verdict of guilty be returned the prisoner blanched. Tbe main line of the defense," said Mulr, "Is that the prisoner Is too kindbeartedito do murder although for months he lived a life of studied hypocrisy. He Mocked at Sorrow. "fie mocked the sorrow of his wife's dearest friends. He had no sympa thy with sorrow. In his cruel heart and cunning mind there was no place for kindness. MWe have shown the motive for the crime. Crlppen's motive was to estab lish closer relations with Ethel Leneve. Perhaps he did not intend to marry her but that is . not ' to his credit. Rather It shows another base element In this man's character. .The prosecution has shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the remains found In the cellar at 39 Hllldrop Crescent. North London the home of this prisoner were those of Belle Elmore Crlppen. "The medical evidence that the mark upon the piece of human flesh Introduced before this court was a scar, Is Indisputable. That Is another link against Crlppen for Crlppen. him self admitted that Belle had been operated on for appendicitis. This piece of flesh was taken from that portion of the human body where the incision would have been made In such an op eration.. . . . a a. J . .

"Crlppen had admit ted his . relations with Ethel Leneve and his unholy passion for her and he has admitted that he sold, his wife's clothing after she disappeared. ; but. . gentlemen of the Jury, let me tell yon that hla greed for money was to satis fy this lustAs the arraignment continued the nrlaoner flinched at times but usually betrayed the stoicism Vhich has mark ed him at some of the critical periods of the trial.

Capt ' Messner and Pilot Olraudan of the Swiss balloon Asurea, arrived here ; this morning with a thrilling story of a narrow escape from death in their flight In the International balloon race In crossing Lake Superior the balloon sagged so low that the basket trailed in the water. A landing was Snally accomplished in the rugged forests twenty miles northeast of here. The balloon traveled approximately 675 miles almost due north of St. Louis, the starting point.

Two of the sal-" loons, which left here last Monday the America II, and the Dusseldorf have not reported. An ' extensive ' search is being made for them, . ' SEARCHING IN CANADA, Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 22.--The land and sky are being scoured today in one of the most remarkable searches : ever Instituted. Hundreds of Canadians, pressed into service through purely humane motives are searching the wildernesses for traces of two balloons in the international race for the Bennett cup, which started from, SL Louis last Monday. . So far these two balloons have not been heard from and It Is believed the aeronauts are enduring untold suffering from starvation and the rigors of an sirlv w4ntr . . .The balloons which are missing are Dusseldorf (Germany), Gericke, pilot, and America n (United States) Haw ley, pilot. . The whole of the Canadian mounted police force within a radius of a bun dred miles Is engaged in the search for the missing pilots and their aids. According to messages which have been received here,' the German balloon "Germania," von Abercron. pilot, landed at Coocoocache. Quebec, on Wednesday morning. Coocoocache Is 1,905 miles from 8L Loots, and It Is probable that von Abercron has broken the world's record for distance. The mystery of the lost balloons Is unparalleled in the history of aviation. The probability that one or more of the balloons has shattered all records has lent interest to the hunt. Lieutenant Governor Gibson of Ontario, was in consultation with Premier Whitney today regarding the search. BURNS GIVES DID The estate of the lata Harry Simmons, a member of the tailoring establishment of Simmons and ToongOesh, has been placed in the hands of Henry T. Burns as administrator,4 who gave $8,000 bond. The personal property of the decedent is valued at $4,000. Appraisers will be appointed by the court to establish a value on the merchandise in the store in which the late Mr. Simmons was interested.
