Although the mystery of Belle Ell
more's disappearance did not come OFF,
cialy before the public until this morn
ing, her friends in this country have been
quietly working on the case for some
days past, and their activities resulted
today in the discovery by the Brooklyn
police of the dead woman's family. Ac-
cording to the information of the Brook
lyn detective bureau, Belle Gilmore was
born kunigunde Makomarkski, of noble
Polish descent When she was two years
old her widowed mother married NJ. F.
Marsnger, and the little girl. growing up
| with American-born step-brothers and
sisters, dropped her Christian name
and became known as Cora Marsinger.
Her step brother and Mrs Mills, the step
sister to which the Louise and Robert
letter was sent, and other relations were
found today in Brooklyn and Queens. Her
mother is dead. Marsinger, the step
father, is a farmer and huckster. He
said today:
I'VE noticed that although DR.. Grip
pens letter told of a dying relative who
was to leave him money. the letter did
not give the relatives name. his place of
residence, his business, nor did it tell
where Cora was taken i'll, where she died,
who attended her, or why if she was i'll
in this country she did not communicate
| with her family as would have been nat
ural
AT the time of her DEATH Cora must
have been 3S years old. While she
was still young girl. she showed a
fOndness for the stage. We did not
approve at first, but she was head
strong and we let her have her way.
| On one of her tours through the West
she met DR.. Crippen, l don't know just
where, and they were married about
IA years ago, as nearly as can recall.
We did not see much of Cora after
that. She was a handsome girl and
| very clever
DR.. Crippen is said to have practiced
| medicine with success both in Brook
lyn and Manhattan. He always ap-
peared to have plenty OF money and
his wife wore handsome jewelry. One
| of the step-sisters visited the Crippens
in London within a year and found
them living comfortably there, still
with plenty of money. There were no
indications then of any unhappinesS in
the family.
At the request of Scotland yard, the
police here tonight were awaiting the
Lustania, which was not expected to
dock, however, until tomorrow morn
