Crippen. Crippen is used to describe any man wild and un- kempt in appearance, but is more common for a doctor- murderer, of which there have unfortunately been too many. Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, English murderer, killed his wife, Cora, and was hanged for his crime on November 23, 1910. Captain Kendall of The Montrose transmitted a message on July 22 of that year leading to Crippen’s capture, marking the mur- derer the first to be caught by wireless telegraph. Dr. Crippen, born in Michigan in 1861, received his medical education in London and settled there in 1896 with his wife, who had previ- ously appeared unsuccessfully in opera and on the music hall stage as Belle Elmore. Crippen fell in love with his secretary and on New Year’s Eve, 1909, poisoned his wife, dissected the body and, after destroying what he could by fire, interred the remains in the cellar. He and Ethel le Neve, who disguised her- self as a boy, eventually fled England, but on the boat crossing the Atlantic Captain Kendall recognized them from their pic- tures and wired the police to come aboard when The Montrose reached Canadian waters.
