"Told that both her less had ben amputated, the waitress turned away, her shoulders shook violently and down her cheeks . trickled large tears. She trle to conceal her emotion, but the mirror raneled walls reflected the pic ture, and I, too, felt moisture fill my eyes.' ." ' "And two days ago, before anything had been said about a benefit, a young man came to the .theatre and donated to tha fund. I told him we had no fund:" ""-" '" r- Started Fond With pollar.

"1 put the money In an envelop and it will be added to tha fund."- A prominent business man from Ta coma who happens to be in the city accompanied by his wife, called on Mr, Armstrong and offered to take 1 Miss Mahr In his offlces, to do light work that -may suit her aa long as she wants to work when'ih i get well. "Tell her not to worry," said ha. "We will find room for, her In our offices and she can stay as long as aha likes." i A number of people having inquired at the theatre if donations will' ba ac cepted," lt.-haB.beeB suggested byMr, Keating that those who do not care to buy tickets for the benefit performance but who still wish to add to the fund may leave donations with the respective city editors of the dally newspapers, or address them to the treasurer,.

Tickets will he 1 and may be obtained any tima from the city editors of the dally papera or at any of the theatres. The theatres, however, will secure their tickets through the editors, so that all will go through one channel. . "I never saw so much kindly lntareat taken In a person as In this particular case," said Mr. Keating, In speaking of the benefit "Our telephone has bean tinging continually, people wanting to learn how Miss Mahr Is getting along. And they all seem so sincerely Inter ested.

I am HAWLEY CRIPPEN IS SURROUNDED BY POLICE IN LONDON (Oonttnued from Page One.) tyst, one of the keenest students of medical Jurisprudence In England. "Whether Crippen was assisted In his work by Mile. JLneve cannot be deter mined, although the police believe such to be the caaa and have lodged a charge Of murder against her as an accessory. "I believe the mutilation end" dissec tion of the body was an afterthought on the part of tha murderer. The man who killed Mrs. Crlppen knew the In solubility of certain elements In quick lime and added, chemicals to facilitate their dissolution. For that reason, thai body is in far worse condition thanj ordinarily would have been th case from free lime. Then, too, he murderer oareiully excised the larger bones, there by hastening the action of the lime. These bones are mlsslnir. I believe they fhave either been burned, burled- or thrown into the river. "When it became known that 'the bones were missing there was a rumor that dogs had been see gnawing bones in the yard of the Crlppen house, but I hardly believe that Difficulty of Identification; "V T " ( "Of course, the police are proceeding on the theory that the body Is that of Mrs. Crlppen. How should they know? The broken, lime-eaten remains, have been viewed by a score of persons who knew the mteslng Mrs. Cr1ppcn. .Not one was able to identify the bodv.- All said they believed the dismembered body was that of Mrs, Crlppen,. but, none would say so positively. We must Judge from form,, contoar, weight, color of r the eyes ahd hair and the shape of the teeth. , "There, again, tha.' authorities are balked. Many of Mrs. Crlppen's friends disagree on the color of her eyes and of her hair. . The 'woman's dental work was done by her husband and no Identi fication can be made in that way.: The detectives have other Incidental clews but they, all are intangible. ' Bound to Blunder Somewhere. "Wo 'must rely somewhat on 'the Inter-relation tot the circumstances sur rounding the murder, such as the dis appearance of Mrs. Crlppen and sup posed flight of her husband and ' a young' companion with whom .Mrs. Crlppen had quarreled,. In life, every event must hinge with another; the criminal seeks to make a fictitious set of , circumstance seem : true. Most theories on crime hold that this cannot be- done and that somewhere the crim inal leaves I unconnected some trivial feature that ultimately leads to the ex position of-the deception. "The Scotland Yard men are working somewhat with this hope. Crlppen Is known to be highly educated and clever. This-was shown by his misleading the police and throwing them off the ewent when suspicion was first aroused. - But his disappearanoe Is a factor against him. Ills knowledge of medicine and surgery' Is another, In the light of the scientific dismemberment of the corpse, but his attempts to account for the ab sence of hl wife all point to him. aa the guilty man. , 1 ; "The police must first establish the Identity of the victim before they can convict the murderer, whoever he may be. That has not been done and until It can be proved that Mrs. Crlppen is dead no one can be tried for her mur der." . Turther search of tha Premises. The police, asserting that Dr., Pep per la working independently of the Scotland Yard men, declare they can prove that tha dead woman was Mrs. Crlppen.! Detectives from; Scotland Yards searched the Crlppen house end garden again today for traces of the missing bones, even opening the gas, water and sewer pipes In the hope of finding them secreted there. All the tme the quicklime was eat ing the body, Crlppen lived in the house with Mile, lieneve, whom he Introduced to neighbors as "Mrs. Crlppen,'" accord lng to the polloe. They charge that the letter to his wife's stepsister, saying Mrs. Crlppen had gone to Los Angeles, Cal., was written shortly aftel- Crlppen and his companion had dessected - the Police Hope to Identify Body. The police admitted that they shad owed Crlppen for several weeks prior, to the discovery of the body but excuse their failure to keep, him under sur veillance by saying they had no author ity to arrest him. ;,-..

H is believed that the police have suf ficient evidence to establlsh.the identity or ma ooay, or uey would not be wlllr lng to have an inquest at this time.

CRIPPEN'S DEATH T. United Pre Leawd .YPire.J New York. July IS The Brooklyn po lice say-that Belle EUmore. Mrs. Hawley Crlppen, was formerly known as Cora Marainger, stepdaughter, of Frederick Marstnger of Brooklyn. , Tney say that recently; Madame Glnnett , Rosalie, a New Jersey horse trainer, said she had heard that Belle EilmOre died at Loi Angeles, Cal. . The Xos Angeles police were Informed and said they had no rec ord of the death. ; Madame Glnnett no tlfled" Scotland Yard and " asked . the Brooklyn police to locate Belle Ellmore'B stepfather, Frederick Marainger. ' Marainger said Crlppen had written some time before- of Bale's death and had forwafded an Insurance policy on her life. . L. A. Mcintosh, a patent medicine man, says that Crippen was sent to Hon do n In 1900 by a medicine 'concern. "Crippen was a little,, insignificant man; his wife was a-big, buxom worn or.. People generally thought their domestic Ufa waa happy," Mcintosh said. t . On April 7 MrsH. K. Mills of Brook lyn; half sister of Mrs. Crlppen. re ceived a letter from Crlppen saying that Mrs. Crlppen went to California, to secure property left him by relatives, While en route, the letter said, Mrs. Crippen developed pneumonia .and died. "I do not know what to do," tha letter continued, according to Mrs. Mills. "I shall probably find soma buslnesa that will take me traveling until ' I can ro cover from the shock. Aa soon aa f have a settled address I will write again. Aa It is terrible to have to write of the dreadful news, please tell the otli, era. My next address will probably be somewhere in France."
