his friends kindly, humane man, and he Ger enly
managed to secure the affections of his young typst
Ethel lie Neve.
Herein lay the cause of all the trouble Out
wardly he maintained an air of affection for Belle
Elmore his wife, but nwardly he ragged against being
tied to her when his heart called him elsewhere.
Ethel LIE Neve knew he was married. but believed his
tales that Belle Emore entirely out of sympathy
with him, and when one day in February, 1910, he
told her that Belle had gone away to California she
willingly agreed to act his housekeeper at Hilldrop
Crescent without questioning the truth of his story
Bellies friends, however, were very surprised to
hear of her sudden departure without word of fare
well to any of them, and were still more surprised
when there appeared an announcement in theat-
rcal paper to the effect that Mrs. Crippen (Belle
Elmore) had died in California on March %. It so
happened that some of these theatrical friends met
in New York in May. and, being uneasy, they wrote
to California to verify Bellies death. The reply from
the Chief of Police at Los Angeles stated emphat-
ically:
''In reply to yours, no person named Crippen
or Belle Emore has died here"
Where, then, was she? What had become of
her since the night of January 81, when she helped
to entertain friends at card party in her house
in Hdrop Crescent? She was then her usual viva
cious SELF but had said nothing of an impending
journey. From that night nobody had seen her,
and her DEATH which her husband said had occurred
at Los Angeles proved myth.
Full of suspicious, one of her friends called on
DR.. Crippen as soon he got back from the States
and received such contradictory explanations of the
mystery from the agtated doctor that he went
straight to Scotland Yard and reported the matter
Chief Inspector Dew put the case, and he and
police sergeant went to see DR.. Crippen at the lat
ters place of business. No doubt Crippen had
shock when he learned his callers profession, but

Certainly" replied Crippen with alacrity. And
accordingly the following advertisement was printed

through your absence"
But poor Belle Emore could never "cournuni-
