     The American-born Crippen prescribed an overdose of hyoscine, a drug used to lessen the sex drive, to kill his vain, nymphomanic wife, who was a music hall artist.  He then dismembered her body and hid parts of it in his cellar, where there were discovered.  He sailed for Canada with his young mistress, Ethel Le Neve, whome he hoped to marry.  She was disguised as a boy.  In the first such use of wireless telegraphy, Crippen was identified while aboard ship and arreseted upon landing in Quebec.  He was convicted and hanged in England.  Le Neve was acquitted of complicity.
