REMAINS
CANNOT Be
IDENTIFIED
SCOTLAND YARD POLICE ARE
UNABLE TO PROVE THE MU-
TILATED AND DECOMPOSED
CORPSE is THAT OF MRS.
CRIPPEN--BODY BURIED In
PAUPER'S LOT.

London, July 1S.-The mutilated,
dismembered, lime-eaten body taken
from the cellar of 39 Hilldrop Cres-
cent, the former home of DR.. Haw-
ley H. Crippen, will go to pauper's
grave today and will be classed IN
the official records of the coroner in
the list of unidentified dead
The great murder mystery of Is
lington became deeper today follow
ing the preliminary hearing by the
coroner, when DR.. Marshall, the po-
lice surgeon, stated that there was
no legal evidence to show that the
body was that of woman, much
less that of Mrs. Crippen.
The strongest link in the chain of
suspicion attaching Crippen's name
to the mystery, is the disappearance
of Mrs. Crippen, the alleged flight
of Dr. Crippen with Mile. Leneve,
his typeist and the the complete
failure of the police to offer any
other solution than that of wife mur-
der.
The coroner heard the testimony
of police officers today and then ad-
iourned the inquest for one month.
In the interim Scotland yard
must first establish beyond doubt
that Mrs. Crippen is dead. The
whole fabric of the murder theory
is built about that surmise. Her
disappearance is one point in their
favor, but the remains found in
Islington have not been legally iden-
titled.
DR.. Marshall's testimony was the
most sensational discovery yet made
by the authorities in connection
with the mystery. It bears out the
statement of DR.. Pepper, the govern
ment analyst, given exclusively to
the United Press, that the police
have failed absolutely to establish
the identity of the corpse.
For the first time in the history Of
Scotland Yard the detectives have
begun a systematic hunt for a wo-
man they believe dead but whom
they must prove dead before they
can proceed against the man they
have charged with the murder and
against the woman they have ac-
cused as his accessory.
Every available clew that would
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-07-18

lead to the finding of Mrs. Crippen
is being followed. Friends of the
missing woman again are undergo
ing close questioning and every
agency of the police is being exerted
to find her.
The circumstantial evidence
against Crippen has proved sufficient
to warrant murder charge. Fic-
titious letters and conflicting state
ments attributed to Crippen; his
disappearance and that of Mile. Le-
neve, who, according to neighbors,
was not friendly with Mrs. Crippen;
the disappearance Of Mrs. Crippen
for months, and the finding of the
body in the deserted house all point
to cause and effect. But no single
according to lawyers,
will stand the acid test of British
law until 1t can be proved that
the remains are those of Mrs. Grip
pen.

New York, July 1S.-The liners
Chicago and Minnetonka were
searched today by the local police
on cable request from London for
the arrest of DR.. Hawley H. Crippen
and Mile. Ethel Leneve. Three
transatlantic steamships arrived yes
terday and were ransacked by the
police. No arrests were made.
The London police have an
nounced that DR.. Crippen once dis
guised himself as a woman and ex-
pressed a belief in the possibility
that he might adopt that method of
eluding recognition.
Every woman on board the incom-
ing vessels was interviewed by de-
tectives and reporters in addition to
the men passengers examined.

that they were stolen property. When
he returned to the waiting room he
found that the white man and the
Mexicans had departed. and then fol-
lowed search for them. After scour-
ing the town they were finally located
in the White House restaurant at
about 1 o'clock in the morning, and
placed under arrest.
The white man gave his name as
VIM. Becker and the Mexicans theirs
as Lewis Martinez and Francisco Re-
verta. The latter also gave his name
as Frank Roberts, and is presumed to
be the cleverest of the two in the art
of shoplifting.
Becker's Story.
Becker disclaimed being identified
with the two Mexicans in their thiev-
ing operations, and stated that he
knew nothing further concerning the
transaction than that he had been
hired to carry the valise to the de-
pot. He stated that he was employed
at the asylum as laborer, and that
he had met the two Mexioans during
the day. They asked him, he said,
why he was wearing a workman's
clothes, and upon he advising them
that he was just a common laborer,
one of them suggested that he would
secure a good suit of clothes for him.
The Mexican went away, he said, and
shortly afterwards returned with a
brand new suit of clothes, which he
gave him. The Mexican, then, he
says, represented that he would want
him to assist in carrying valise that
night to the depot, and he did So An
investigation disclosed the fact that
Becker is employed as a laborer at
the asylum, and the sheriff, upon ex-
amining his room, found the suit of
clothes, which he said the Mexican
had presented to him.
Suits Have Been Identified.
The suits found in the valise aggre-
gate in value about $500, and all of
them save one, have been identified
by merchants in the city as belonging
to them The loot is represented by
a suit from every store in the city,
save that of H. w. G. M. L. Meyers.
and they have all been tagged, and
will be introduced at the trial OF the
Mexicans as evidence against them.
The suits stolen were all of a supc-
rior quality.
Method of Operations.
The two Mexicans use the old-time
method of operation-that Of enter
ing the store with an oyercoat thrown
over their arms. The different mer-
chants and their clerks have told the
sheriff that they saw them in their
stores Saturday, and that each car
rled an oYereoat over his arm, and I
talked broken English. Their meth
cd was to engage the clerk in conver-
sation. and while his attention was
attracted to some other object TO

some small purchase, 10 leave the
store. In most Of the cases, so the
say, they desired to pur-

case desired the merchant to break a |

railroad officials and the employees
on the lines west OF Pittsburg, were
resumed today. 1t is intimaed by
both sides that a more friendly spir-
it exists today than has been shown
before and both parties are hopeful
that a settlement may be reached.
Vice President Sheppard of the
conductors said that the officials are
not working jointly but that the
grievances, were brought separately
and that settlement of one dispute
probably would have little effect on
the action taken by the men of the
other divisions.

OFFERS OF BRIBES.
Congressional Committee lnves-
tigating Charges of Bribe or
fers Made by Senator Gore.

On the eve of the recent
adjournment of Congress Senator
Thomas P. Gore, the blind Senator
from Oklahoma, stated that an
attempt had been made to bribe
him in connection with legislation
involving the sale of lands. A
special congressional committee
began Investigations atMuskogee,
Okla. last week and at the hear
ing the first day Senator Gore
testified that on May 6 last he
had been approached by Jake |.
Hamon, former chairman OF the
Oklahoma Territorial Republican
Committee and also chairman of
the Oklahoma State Republican
Committee, and had been offered
a bribe of $25, 1000 or $4,000 to
remove certain legislation pend
ling in Congress so that So, 600, 900
might be paid to J. F. McMurray,
an attorney at NcAlester, Okla,
and his associates. The money
was to represent attorneys
fees" of 10 per cent. of $50, OOO,-
600 which was to be secured
from a New York syndicate for
, $50, 600 acres of coal and asphalt
lands now owned by the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians of Okla
homa. Vice President Sherman's S
name was mentioned by Hamon,
Senator Gore testified, as being
interested in the land deal to the
extent of favoring the approval
by Congress of what are known
as the McMurray contracts with
the Indians, but later Mr.. Gore
stated that he had no object IN
mentioning the name of the Vice
. President beyond giving an exact
account of what occurred in his
room at the time the offer of a
bribe was made to him. Denials
were Immediately forthcoming
from the men whose names were
mentioned by Senator Gore.
McMurray has also been named
as a would-be briber.
The committee removed to
McAlester and resumed it's inves-
LEGATIONS there Monday of this
week. Indians who have testified
before the committee state that
so badly did they need the money
for these lands that they were
; willing to give ten per cent. or
almost any other per cent. in Or
der to get the matter settled and
that they had waited so long and
had been fed so long on promises
that they had lost confidence in
the governments 'sdoing anything.
, 1t is thought that a new era of
wholesome legislation by Congress
has dawned for the Indians as a
result of the investigation. Con.
gresham c. E. Creager, of the
third Oklahoma district, testified
last week that Hamon had "sug'
: gested' that he might secure
an interest" in the contracts
If he helped to remove all op-
position to their approval by Con
! gress and President Taft, and
Monday Hamon made the count
er charge that Creager had solicit
ed ''sums" of money from Nc
? Murray, the holder Of the Indiar
lands contracts.
