in the eyes of some. Certainly, so fas as
the charges of police graft or of dirty
work by underlings in the sheriff s
office and circuit court are concerned,
it would be a shrewd move on the
part of the accused and their friends
to force the hand" of the accusers
before there had been or could be any
systematic work to procure convict
ing proof, and it may be that, if there
was any such design. it will succeed;
it may be that, however painstaking
and conscientious the grand jury may
be in its efforts, it will be unable at
this time to procure any proof strong
enough to Justify them in finding any
true bills; it stands to reason that it
will be hampered as much as posi-
BILE by the suspects and their par
tisans; that there will be close es-
pionage over its daily conferences,
with perhaps some leakages of which
advantage may be taken; that wit
nesses will be intimidated wherever
possible; that those who know some
thing will be excused from telling
what they know on the plea OF in
eliminating themselves. All these
things, taken in conjunction with the
fact that evils in the public service
are the most difficult Of all to run
down, tend to make the work
x the present grand jury most
difficult one; and yet The Bull
letin believes that, something will
be done by this body of men,
which will give the people Of
Cairo cause to hope for better govern
ment and which will justify the be-
lief that the Citizens League was
formed upon something more sub
stantial than street-corner gossip by
chronic macontents.

her for nearly a week. Last night the
detectives vigil was rewarded. AS he
was standing in an alley near the

with a dress suit case.
He followed her to a railroad station
and into train for Philadelphia. In
confronting her he forced her to tell

London, July =Nothwithstanding
circumstantial reports that Dr. Haw-
ley II. CriDpen has been seen at wide
ly separated points, all the supposed
clues have proved to be valueless, and
the London police are still without any
tangible evidence that would be likely
to lead to his arrest
The coroner's inquest began today
over the dismem bered body which was
found buried in the cellar of Crippen's
Hill Drop Crescent residence and
which the police have associated with
the Adisa ppearance of Crippen's wife,
Belle Elmore. The testimony today
proved of small service in esta blishine
the identity, as the mass of flesh was
so mutilated as to make it impossible
for the experts even to fix the sex
of the victim

the body, the domestic relations of DR.
