American physician/hung in Pentonville Prison – <br />London, England on November 23rd, year 1910 <br />for the murder of his un-beloved, & lovely wife <br />She mysteriously disappeared in January of that <br />year – he said she took a transatlantic cruise; he <br />was busy screwing his mistress; she openly wore <br />his deceased’s jewelry & clothes – tipped off the <br />police; after a quick search of the house & a talk <br />with the Doc, Crippen & his mistress panicked – <br />fled to Brussels & spent the night; following day <br />they left for Antwerp – with their disappearance, <br />Scotland Yard searched the house twice,3rd time <br />wasn’t a charm – she wasn’t in the cellar, wasn’t <br />in the garden; after death, Cora Crippen’s bones <br />& limbs were removed & burned in an oven, her <br />organs were dissolved in acid in the bathtub; her <br />head – placed in a handbag & tossed overboard <br />at sea; a pathologist couldn’t tell if the body was <br />man or woman – however, he did found a piece <br />of her skin with an abdominal bruise; Crippen <br />was hung after being convicted. <br /> <br />‘2008’<br /><br />Robert Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dr-crippen/
