Now aged 82 I well recall being taken to the old Bedford when young and seeing many of the stars of the music hall, even on one occasion, George Robey giving a charity performance ! Apropos Crippen, I remember my father telling me a bizarre joke which went the rounds at the time -'They tried Crippen for the murder of his wife, but she was in court all the time, but she was too cut up to say anything.' Sorry. Came across this fascinating item while idly surfing.

I was shocked to discover through your block that Crippen's lover died only as recently as 1967. I wonder if she ever spoke of the trial and the experience to anyone? Another top notch post Rob.
