ChlPPEN CLUES NORGED OUT
London Police Deny Reported Cap
ture of American Doctor.
BODY Is STILL UNIDENTIFIED
Canal VIII he Dragged in Hope OF
Finding Bones which Were
Removed from
Flesh.

LONDON, July 19.-The rumor circulated
in the United States that DIR. Hawley II.
Crippen had been captured at Canterbury,
England. is groundless.
Scotland Yard found today what Is be-
lieved to be a clue to the disposition of the
bones. which with the flesh uuearthed in
the cellar in Hldrop Crescent once formed
the body of Belle Gilmore, the American
actress, wife Of DIR. Crippen.
AS a result Of tireless search anon
the friends and known acquaintance o..
Ethel Clara Leneve, the typist who dis
appeared recently with DR. Crppen. the de
tectives found woman who said that Miss
Leneve had been her friend and had talked
to her in confidence. The typist the wo-
man said, had spoken to her Of mysterious
visits paid by DR.. Crippen to the neighbor-
hood of Regents Park.
The theory woven from these circum-
stances by the police Is that the disjonted
bones OF the murdered woman may have
been carried in small parcels to Regents
Park and deposited in the Regents canal.
The authorities orderd that the canal be
dragged.
Woman Probably Innocent.
This development has strengthened the
belief of Miss Leneve's friends that II Mrs
Crippen was murdered the woman who IS
said TO have won her husbands affections
was innocent OF any knowledge Of the
crime
At the inquest yesterday the physicians
who examined the dismembered body testi.
fled that none Of the bones had been found
and that their analysis indicated that the
flesh had been 'skillfully carved from the
skeleton.
1t has been deemed of great Importance
to discover the missing members, including
the head, hands and feet, in order to com
plete the body and thus establish legally
the case of murder. With the evidence al
hand the experts have not as yet been able
to determine so much as the sex of the
victim.
Today the authorities offered a reward OF
81, $50 for information leading to the arrest
of DR.. Crippen.
No Important Clues.
Reports of Crippen and his woman com
panion having been seen 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 Froest of Scotland Yards,
who Is directing 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
Kroohiand, which sailed from Dover on
the night following the disappearance of
the doctor and which is due at New York
tonight.
The ports of France are picketed with
detectives and so closely have the lines
been drawn that the British officials be-
lieve it will be impossible for DR.. Crippen
to flee this country without detection.
The impression. is strong in police cir
cles that the doctor will not hazard receg-
milton on a long trip, and his apprehen-
sion at some point in England or within
this city at any moment would not cause
great surprise,
