town State Jail to discover whether or
NOT prisoners or any one else inside

MAKING FOR AUDORRA.
Extradition from That Republic VIII
Be Almost Impossible.

Paris, July 21.-A special to the Matlf
from Vernets-Les-Bai says that accord
ing to a telephone emssage received
there a man answering the description
of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, wanted in
London in connection with the disappear
ance of his wife, was at Puigcerda, a
town lust across the frontier in Spain
Wednesday night.
The police at -Bains, the lit
tie French watering place at the foot OF
the Pyranees mountains. are positive in
their belief that Dr. Hawley II. Crippen
widely sought by the London police, was
in their little city last Sunday, and
vigorous search is being made for the
fugitive.
The procureur at Vernets Les Bains
telegraphed today to the directors general
at Paris confirming the description of the
men who arrived there under the name
of Talbot on Sunday as DR.. Crippen. The
procureur added that he believed Crippen
had crossed the French frontier into
Spain.
The suspect, according to the belief of
the authorities here, instead of making
for Spain is headed for Andorra. the lit
tie and most forgotten republic of 5000
shepherd inhabitants nesting in the foot
hills of the Pyrenees. Once in this coun-
try. it is said. extradition would be diff
cult If not impossible.

partment of the police, who is directing
the search in France for DR.. Crippen and

supposed to have left London in his COM
