He shot the woman who had enticed his father to his death." "And how have you ascertained that?" "By logical deduction." "Then you are trying to convict Mr. Henfrey upon circumstantial evidence alone?" "Others have gone to the gallows on circumstantial evidence Crippen, for instance. There was no actual witness of his crime." "I fear I must allow you to continue your investigations, Mr.
"I think that no one of us holds Esther Crippen in any way responsible for Polly O'Neill's action or for continuing to keep her family in ignorance of what she was doing," Edith finally began in a rather weak voice, seeing that no one else showed any sign of speaking.
You are going to study under one of the greatest teachers in the world and not because of what your own family believe about your talent, but because of what your teacher in New York wrote the Professor." It was not often that Betty was able to speak of Herr Crippen as father; Mr.
No one could talk of anything else until her condition became finally known; but Herr Crippen was a newcomer and Betty had never cared for him.

At first Betty had shaken her head, but now she evidently changed her mind. "You are very kind.

It ain't right, Crippen; say what you like, it ain't right!" "If you put it that way," said the captain hesitatingly. "Have some more gin," said the artful pilot.
