SAY CRIPPEN

Scotland Yard Detectives Do

Murderer Has Fled
SEARCH FOR BONES THAT
MAY BE In THE HOUSE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. July 15.-Scotland Yard
authorities to-day abandoned the the
ory that DR.. Hawley Harvey Crippen
and his typist. Ethel Clare Leneye,
have fed from England The search
for the American physician and den
tist, who is charged with numbering
his wife and burying her body In quick
lime in the basement Of their home, 80
Hilldrop Crescent, has narrowed down
to the city of London. The detectives
to-day declared they are sure Crippen
and the woman are still in hiding here
It became known to-day that the
pair had been under police surveill-
ance for days, and though this sur
yeillance was somewhat less strict af-
ter last Saturday, when the detectives
questioned DR.. Crippen. the detective
say il was nevertheless sufficiently
rigid to warrant the statement that
Crippen has not left the metropolis.
The police have arranged with the
coronial forces to have the inquest
held tomorrow, when il is expected
the chemical analysis made by Dr.
Pepper, the criminologist, Will show
that Mrs. Crippen was killed by poison
administered by her physician hus-
band, who was well versed in toXi-
cology. The frightful mutilation and
dissection of the body was an after
thought, designed merely to facilitate
the decomposing action of the quick
lime in which the body was inferred
Many of the larger bones we're re-
moved from the body, for they would
not soon disintegrate in the bed OF
quick lime.
Il is said to-day that the reason for
the continued search being made
through the house is that the police
are confident they will find these
bones hidden some where about the
premises.
