On November, 23rd, 1910, Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged for the murder of his wife Belle. Crippen went to the gallows protesting his innocence and ever since controversy has been the keynote of any discussion on the case. Some have said that behind the meek, mild-tempered doctor's face there lurked a monster, others that Crippen was a victim of a dreadful mistake. Here the facts are assembled in such a way as to leave audiences to ponder for themselves on the innocence or guilt of the quiet doctor.
