Paris accepting blame ultimately for artist's murder perhaps (7,7).  CAPITAL OFFENCE.  I get the definition (murder perhaps), and PARIS = CAPITAL,   ....but the rest?

 

Favour old person like me cycling!  (7)  ROSETTE.  Ok, a wedding favour was a white rosette, ....but the rest?

The Times should be better than this.

 

account of etc. where account = narrative/book about
