Hawley Harvey Crippen, an Aner1ean medical man, had married .a:1Shall artiste,' elle Elm'ore, v t 'ildro Crescent, Lon- don, 'She was last seen on February 1st, 1810. Orippen's' explanation of her disappearance, first that she was dead, seondly that she had fled to a former 'admirer in the United State's, did not satisfy her friends, whose suspicions were confirmed when they saw Crippen's secretary. Ethel 'Le Neve, living at . Hilldrop Crescent and wearing his wife's jewelry and furs. The police intervened and the pair fled to Brussels on July 9th. On July 15tdh some human remains were dis- covered. in the cellar, but they were indistinguishable as to sex of identity. Meanwhile the fugitives had em- barked as Mr. Robinson and son on the steamship !Montrose for Canada. Their actions aroused the suspicions of the !Captains, who communicated with 'Scotland Yard by one of the early uses of wireless telegraphy, and Crippen' was .put under arrest off the coast of Canada. A sear on the maim- ed remains was identified as the re - suit of an operation undergone by Mays. Crippen and traces of hyoscine poison were discovered and linked up wwith'purehases of this drug made by Crippen. 'Moreover, itwas establish- ed than -Crippen was in , financial dif- ficulties whilehis wife had £600. The result was that ,Crippen was hanged and though he died' without confes- sion he insisted that his companion was ignorant of the crime. The latest mysterious murder was that of Sam- uel Henry Smith, an edderly • and ec- centric moneylender of Hull, who was found in his home on November 317d, about forty-eight 'hours after he 1iad been killed by a series of vicious blows on the head, The Hull police an- nounced that "'after careful eorsid+era- tion"' they had decided' not to call in Scotland Yard, and there is little doubt that their decision was influ- enced by "the recent failures of S{cot- la'nd Yard mens in murder cases, But so far as we know the .murderer has not yet :been discovered, and the Hull police may find it necessary to fall back on. the C,I.D.
