SLEW AMERICAN ACTRESS
Or. Crippin Took Flight After
Murder of Belle Elmore.
Body Found Buried in London Gel.
lar Identified as That of
Brooklyn Woman.

London. Information gathered by
Scotland Yard detectives shows that
Mrs. Crippen, better known as Belle
Gilmore, the American actress, was
killed about midnight on February q
in the cellar of the house at No SO
Hilldrop Crescent, Islington, where
the body was found week ago
Screams and cries of Don't. oh.
don't" were heard at that hour and
on that date in the cellar of the Grip
pen house.
1t was also learned that for some
months previous to the disappearance
Of Mrs Crippen DR.. Crippen was &C
customed to engage in revolver prac-
tice in the garden in the rear of his
residence. No one has been found,
however, who heard revolver shots
on the night of February Q, and this
fact would seem to substantiate the
theory of Dr. Pepper, the Govern
ment analyst, that Mrs Crippen was
killed by blows on the head from
heavy instrument that crushed her
skull
The information indicating that
Mrs. Crippen was killed in the cellar
of the house serves to clear up point
that has been worrying the police,
tnamelyN how DR.. Crippen, who
weighed only about 100 pounds, could
get the body of his wife, twice his
weight, down into the cellar If he had
killed her on one of the upper floors.
There was also a puzzling absence Of
blood stains or any other indications
that crime of violence had been
committed in the house proper
The Scotland Yard theory now is
that the slayer decoyed his victim to
the coal cellar and struck her down
from behind. She was very power
full woman of great vitality and the
first blow did not completely stun
her. AS she cried for mercy she was
struck again and again, the skull be-
ing literally mashed to pieces.
Then in the seclusion of the cellar
the body was dissected, the larger
bones removed, the remains sprinkled
with quicklime and buried in the
hard clay soil No trace has been
found of the bones. They were UNI
doubtedly burned at the leisure of
the slayer

Philadelphia Representative OF
the conductors, trainmen and yard
men on the Pennsylvania Railroad
lines east of Pittsburg, Erie and Buff
falo notified General Manager w.
Hayward Myers that large majority
of the men had voted Eyes" on the
ballot which empowered the mems
general committee to call strike I'M
less they reached an agreement with
the company on the matter OF wages
and working conditions
Mr.. Myers informed the delegation
that the Pennsylvania Railroad is
willing to meet the conditions which
prevail on other roads, provided that
the company is put to no additional
expense. There were 100 delegates
representing the $4,000 men.
The complete count of the ballots
showed 1853 conductors had voted in
the affirmative and 448 against the
strike proposition. The vote of the
trainmen was 1928 in favor and
965 against. Those not voting, it is
said, were included in the negative
votes.
At the conference with Mr.. Myers,
A. B. Garretson, of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, set forth the de-
mands of the men, and said that as
the vote sustained the action of the
committee in asking for a ten-hour
day with the same pay as under the
present eleven-hour system the COM
mittee could do nothing but insist
upon the railways compliance with
these terms.
Mr.. Myers told the committee that
the Pennsylvania Railroad was at
present sustaining heavy losses in
having $4,000 freight cars and $50
locomotives idle, due to a falling off
in freight business, and that any in
crease in expenses now was out of
the question.
Mr.. Garretson, again speaking for
the men, recalled that the Lehigh
Valley Railroad had defeated the
strikers in 1898, but at cost of ST.
100000, and asked Mr.. Myers if he
did not think it would cost the Penn
sylvania more to fight than to grant
the increase.
Mr.. Myers merely repeated that
the road could not stand any increase
in expenses and that the whole ques-
ton was one OF money so far as he
was concerned
