Physicians Cannot Determine
Sex Of Corpse.
no TRACE OF THE DOCTOR
Several Witnesses Reeited the Known
Details Of the Crime, But Nothing
New Was Brought Out

Interest in the mysterious murder
OF which Dr. Hawley Harvey Crppen,
formerly a resident of Brooklyn, N.
Y, is suspected, centered in the in
quest in London, Eng, over the body
that is believed to be that of Belle
Blmore. the physicians actress wife.
While an unremitting search was
made in New York Philadelphia
France and Great Britain for Crippen
the inquest opened with the hope that
physicians and experts would be able
70 clear away some of the mystifying
circumstances OF the case.
Instead of clarifying the situation.
the inquest only enyeloped the crime
IN deeper mystery. Far from estab-
fishing the identity of the victim found
IN Crippens cellar buried in quick
lime, the physicians We're unable to
state definitely even that the portions
of the body recovered were those Of
s woman.
The formal evidence adduced at the
inquest added nothing material to
what was already generally known. !
The only startling fact developed was
that the experts were not even in a |
position to state definitely whether |
the boneless mass OF flesh lug up un-
der the cellar floor was that Of a wo-
man Because of this it was decided
to adjourn the inquest for a month to
give DR.. Pepper examiner in surgery
at the Royal Army Medical college,
opportunity to make a complete ex-
animation of the pieces of flesh.
Several witnesses recited the history
of the known occurrences surround
ing the tragedy from the time that
suspicion first fell upon Dr. Crippen to
the hour OF his flight and the discoy-
cry of the body.

she was Crippen's housekeeper Later
the inspector went to Crippen's Office
and had a talk with the doctor
At this time the witness said, the
doctor admitted that all Of the things
which he had previously told of his
wife's death were untrue He said he
hal quarreled with Mrs Crippen on
the night of Jan. 81. and that following
the quarrel she had left him. saying
that she intended to join man who
the doctor said, he believed lived in
Chicago
With the body uncovered N the cell
lar the inspector said he found
piece of string and a mans handksr-
chief which might have been used to
strangle the victim including the
Jacket of a suit of paiamas the trou-
Hers Of which were subsequently found
in an upper room of the house.
The witness added that he had not
heard a word from Crirpen or Ethel
Le Neve since July 9 when they left
the Crippen house. On that day they
sent a note TO the servant saying
'Do not worry We are going to the
theater"
Questioned in detail as to the find
ing Of the body. Dew said that at the
first of his examinations of the hO~se
he found some loose bricks in the
basement floor. He removed the
bricks and dug into the earth beneath. /
At a depth of two feet he uncovered /
the mass of human flesh The largest
piece was less than twelve inches in /
length Not a bone was discovered. /
The pieces Of flesh seemed to have been
carved Off the skeleton The head, 4
foot and hands were missing. Quick

geons who conducted the post mortem
testified that he had net
been able to find a trace Of the bones.
and could not swear, on anatomical
grounds, whether the members were
those of a male or female.
Pieces of flesh, he said had given
rise to some debate among the medi
-aI men, but so far he had been unable

Vice President Berry. who is as

opinion. Both said the matter had
gone too far foc arbitration.
The offer Of the minister Of labor
on behalf of the government. was to
appoint a board of arbitration on the
trouble between the company and its
employees, the finding to be binding on
both, and the government to bear all
expenses in connection Herewith. The
offer was submitted in the form Of
letter to President Hays, of the Grand
Trunk, and to the head officials OF the
unions involved, and is now under CON
sideration by them 1t is thought that
from the fact that President Hays had
already made an offer to arbitrate the
difficulty, that the company at least
will accede to the proposal.
