Detectives Find New Clue to
Disposition of Belle Ell
m0re's Body.

LONDON, July 19.--The rumor cir
Hawley II. Crippen had been captured
at Canterbury, England, is groundless,
and Is one of the many wild exaggera-
tions circulated in connection with the
case.
Scotland Yards found today what Is
OF the bones. which. with the flesh un-
earthed in the cellar in Hilldrop Cres-
cent, once formed the body of Belle Ell
more, the American actress, wife of
DIR. Crippen.
AS the result of a tireless search
ances OF Ethel Clara Leneve, the typist
who disappeared recently with DR..
Crippen, the detectives ran across a
woman who said that Miss Leneve
had been her friend and had talked
to her in confidence. The typist, the
woman said, had spoken to her Of mys-
terious visits paid by DR.. Crippen to
the neighborhood of Regents Park.
| The theory woven from these circum-
stances by the police Is that the dis
| jointed bones of the murdered woman
may have been carried In small parcels
to Regents Park and deposited In the
Regents canal. The authorities or
dered that the waters OF the canal be
thoroughly dragged.
| This development has strengthened
the belief OF Miss Leneve's friends that
IL Mrs. Crippen was murdered the
woman who is said to have won her
| husbands affections was innocent OF
any knowledge of the crime.
No Bones Found.
| At the inquest yesterday the physi-
clans who examined the dismembered
| body testified that none Of the bones
had been found and that their analysis
| indicated that the flesh had been care
| fully and slzillfully carved from the
skeleton. II has been deemed of great
| importance to discover the missing
members. including the head. hands and
feet, In order to complete the body, and
thus establish legally the case of
murder. With the evidence at hand the
experts have not as yet been able to de-
termine so much as the sex of the VIC
! tim.
Today the authorities offered re-
ward of 81 $50 for information leading
| to the arrest of DR.. Crippen. He left
his office at o'clock on the afternoon
OF July 0. since which time no positive
trace OF his whereabout has been dis
| covered. One arrest has been made of
a suspect, but he was later released.
Reports of Crippen and his woman
companion having been in different
parts of the country are frequently
received by the police. and there are
occasional rumors that the two had
been arrested. Thus far Superintendent
| Floest, Of Scotland Yard. who Is di-
/ recting the search. does not admit that
| any important discovery has been
made.
There is still hope that the fugitive
pair may be found aboard the Red
Star liner Kroonland, which sailed
from Dover on the night following the
disappearance of the doctor, and which
is due at New York tonight.
This, however, is but one of many
avenues which are being watched. The
ports of France are picketed with de-
tectives, and SO close have the lines
been drawn that the British officials
believe it will be impossible for DR..
Crippen to flee this country without
| subsequent detection.
The impression is strong in police
/ circles that the doctor would not haz-
ard recognition on a long trip, and his
apprehension at some point in Eng
land or within this city at any moment
| would not cause great surprise.
