BY United Press Leasel Special Wire.
LONDON. July 26--Ohicials to-day
are out OF wireless touch with the
boat on which Dr. Il. II. Crippen. the
alleged wife murderer. and Miss
Ethel Leneve are believed to be hee-
ing to Canada and therefore doubt
the authenticity of the story publish
ed here that the pair had been arrest
ed I'm mid ocean by the captain of the
Canadian Pacific liner Montrose, aud
that Miss Leneve had confessed.
The circumstantial story did not
tell how the paper had received the
information but told how Crippen and
MSS Leneve had been heard discuss
ing the crime; how they had beea
placed under arrest and revolver
and knife taken from Crippen, and
how they we're being held under arm
ed guard in separate cabins.
The police officials declare the ves-
sci on which Crippen and Miss Loneve
are passengers is equipped with a
very weak set of wireless instruments
which will not transmit more than
two hundred miles at most, so thai
It is practically impossible that she
could have been in communication

AS a result the police give little
credence to the arrest story.
Although the police officials refust
TO tell on what steamer the suspect
are supposed TO be or even TO tell on

that the vessels are the Montrose and
