New York. July 16. - DR. Hawley
Harvey Crippen, who is wanted by
Scotland Yard as the murderer Of his
wife. Belle Elmore, the music hall
singer, was not a passenger on any OF
the transatlantic liners that reached
New York
Inspector Russell OF the detective
bureau, was inclined to agree with
Scotland Yard that DR.. Crippen and
his mistress, Ethel Glare Leneve. are
hidden either in London or In France.
The Scotland Yard trailers are ran
sacking London for the pair. and the
French police are searching every
town and village Of their country
where It would be likely that Crippen
and Miss Leneye might have gone.
Inspector Russell sent detectives
down the bay to meet the Cunarder
Lusltania.
Nine. Ginnett, the vaudeville per

HEARD DEATH STRUGGLE
Heard Woman's Pleas and Screams
For Mercy

London. July l6.-The first account
Of what probably was the actual muT'
der of Belle Elmore, wife Of DR.. Haw'
ley Harvey Crippen. formerly OF
Brooklyn. was obtained through the
efforts of Scotland Yard detectives.
While the police in New York and
other American ports were searching
every incoming steamship for DIR. Grip
pen. who is suspected Of the murder,
Scotland Yard was busy trying to re
construct" the crime. In this they re-
ceived important aid from a woman
keeping a small shop near 80 Hilldrop
Crescent. North London.
It was here that the Crippens re-
sided. 1t was here, in the cellar, that
the battered body. believed to be that
Of the music hail actress, was found,
buried in quick lime. And 1t was In
this cellar that the murder was COM
mitted, II the account obtained from
the neighbor is correct.
Since the discovery OF the body on
Wednesday night and the disappear
ance Of DR.. Crippen and his typist,
Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, the Scot
land Yard detectives have inquired
diligently among those living In the
vicinity OF the Crippen home for some
information that would throw light on
the domestic habits and relations OF
the American doctor and his actress
wife
Nothing helpful was learned until
the proprietress of a small shop at the
rear of the Crippen home told of hear
ing a wOman's screams ana pleas for
mercy. These weird and awful sounds
seemed to come from the cellar In
which the burned and mutilated body
was later found.
Mrs. Crippen disappeared In Febru-
airy last. II was four or five months
ago when the screams we're heard, the
woman said. Her shop overlooks a
little garden back of the Crippen
home.
81 had often heard revolver practice
In the garden" said the shopkeeper.
"One night about four or five months
ago, I cannot place the time mora ex-
actly. | was awakened by a woman's s
cries. It was midnight The screams
appeared to come from DR.. Crippen's
house.
81 listened and heard a woman's
voice pleading: Don't, oh don't" To
me 1t seemed that the cries were from
a woman In the basement of the house
occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Crippen.
"As nothing developed further |
soon forgot the occurrence and did
not recall 1t until learned OF the
tragic discovery"
This account Of fierce struggle for
life was borne out apparently by the
finding, also in the cellar where the
body was unearthed, of a revolver.
This discovery gave rise to the theory
that Mrs. Crippen. the vaudeville art.
ist, had been shot before the body
was battered into an unrecognlzazle
mass and buried In quicklime.
The woman's narrative and the find
ing Of the revolver are considered by
the police as most significant and as
dovetailing exactly.

NO STRIKE CALLED
Peace in Railroad Dispute
Hangs in Balance.
VO FURTHER 0vfRTURtS MADE
Neither Side Takes Steps Toward
Averting Threatened Walk Out.
P. R. R. Directors Indorse
General Manager.

Philadelphia, July 16.-Neither side
In the Pennsylvania railroad wage dis
pute made any overtures yesterday
looking towards peace.
The men have given out assurances
that there will be no strike before to-
night. but would not say that strike
would be called then.
At the Offices Of the company there
was much activity among the officials.
A special meeting OF the board OF d.
rectors was called. The directors
adopted resolutions sustaining the ac-
tion OF General Manager Myers, and
Indorsed his ultimatum. in which he
told the men that no concessions could
he granted that would increase the
expenses of the company.
The officials Of the trainmen's and
conductors organizations were In con.
ference all day, and said that they
were waiting on the action Of the ne
gotiations now on at Plttsburg with
the men on the lines west.
President McCrea issued a state
ment in which he asserts that what
the men want is not a ten hour day,
but more money for the hours that
they do work.
The men make the claim that the
company has always paid more money
for the service than any other road,
and because Of this have exacted su-
perior service. This service, they con.
tend. the company still demands, and
for this reason they should maintain
the differentlal In the scale OF wages
that has always existed as compared
with other roads.
The officials Of the company feel
that their position IS so secure, and
that public sympathy is wholly In ac-
cord with its policy as outlined from
time to time, that they are Justified In
taking a positive stand in refusing any
concessions that would cause an In
crease in pay.
The men told General Manager My
ers that their expenses were $500 a
day while in the city, pending nego-
tiations. and that while this was OF no
concern to the company, It was to the
men. and that they could not AFFORD
In Justice to the men to waste any
time In bringing the situation to a set
tlement or a crisis.
