message from a steamer bound for
Canada and now In midocean received
this afternoon states that the vessel
has on board two passengers believed
to be DR.. Crippen and Miss Leneve.
LONDON, July 23.-The Canadian
clue appears to nave put new life into
the Crippen search today.
The police have been watching con-
tinental points and examining shipping
agents and others who come in touch
with transatlantic passengers. 1t ID
understood that from n of those in
terviewed was received the informa-
ton which caused the hurried depart
ure of Inspector Dow for Canada.
Probability points to the Allan Line
steamer Sicilian as the vessel which
the police have in mind. The Sicilian
sailed from London on July 8, the day
of Crippen's disappearance, and from
Havre on July IL for Montreal. She
arrived at Montreal last Thursday.
May BE ON Later Steamer.
There is a possibility, however, that
CTlpD6n anu Tic 1CiCN0 WOAAHh 49,
aboard a steamer sailing for Canadian
ports on a later date. The Satdinian
sailed from London July 16 and Havre
July Is for Montreal.
The Zaandyk sailed from Hamburg
for Montreal on July 10. and the
Uranium sailed from Rotterdam July
IA for Halifax. N. g., and New York.
1t is believed by some that DIR. Haw-
ley H. Crippen and Ethel Clara Leneve
have reached Canada. Such Importance
is attached to the clue that Scotland
Yard has decided to sem Inspector
Dow to the Dominion to investigate.
Superintendent Proest, OF Scotland
Yard. Is feticent as to the supposed
whereabouts of the wanted man and
woman in Canada. It vas learned,
however, that the police believe that
Crippen and his companion crossed the
Atlantic from a continental port.
Inspector Dow has been in direct
charge OF the search for the doctor
and his typist. and the fact that he Is
to go to Canada appears to give added
importance to the new line upon which
the officials are acting.
The present clue Ia the first of real
promise which the authorities have se-
cured since Cripren and his typist dis
appeared. and the body of the woman
believed by the police to be Belle Ell
more, the actress-wife of the physician,
was unearthed In the cellar Of the
Crippen home. .s#
First Fled to France.
1t appears that the detectives are
satisfied that Crippen and his COM
panion fed to France and made close
connections with a steamer sailing for
Canada They had time in which to
do this before the general alarm ask
ing for their apprehension reached the
police Of foreign countries.
From what port Or upon what
steamer. regular liner or tramp, the
two are thought to have sailed Is not
made known.
1t is also possible that they left
from a port of Germany OF Spain, or.
embarking on the coast of France. went
first to the United States and thence to
Canada. This is less probable, how
ever. as such a route would nave re-
CURED more time and they could have
hardly reached the other side of the
Atlantic ahead of the watch that had
been placed for them.
The Sandman. which sailed from
London for Montreal July 16. is in mid
ocean today. while the z~aandyk, which
sailed from Hamburg July 13 for the
game port. is nearer this side. Between
the two probably is the Uranium,
which left Rotterdam July IA for Hall
fax. The Sandman is equipped with
Marconi wireless. The other two are
not listed as wireless vessels.
