This relieves Miss Lonove of any foreknowledge of tho crime, and Is in line with the belief of her family and friends that she did not share Crlppon's confidence up to the tlnie> that his wife dropped out ol' sight: and was said by him to have diod in C?il i fora la. Speaking of the affection between Crippen and his wife, Public Proi i cutor Humphreys said that the affec tion apparently was on the sufraco according to Crlppon's own state ment. The two. the prosecutor con tinued, have occupied separate'rooina for four years. For at least three years Miss Loneve had been Clip lien's mistress, which might account, for tho wife's anger.
