THE CRIPPEN SENSATIONAL.

London, July 23. The authorities at Scotland Yard have received information that Crippen, wanted for the murder of his wife at Camden road, and Miss Neve, his typist, who disappeared with him, are in Canada. They have sent a detective to inquire.

Believing that Crippen is taking refuge in the little Republic of Andorra, in the Pyrenees, the chief magistrate is, according to a Madrid telegram, organising a battue. The Gendarmerie are searching all the frontier villiages. It is reported in Paris that Crippen and the girl Neve stayed three days at the Hotel Metropole, Dieppe. Crippen was disguised as an old woman and Miss Neve as a young man. London, July 24. A report has been received by wireless telegraph from the captain of the Cunard steamer Sardinian, who states that a man who joined the vessel at Havre is aboard. The man was disguised, and booked under the name of the “ Rev. Mr Robinson.” He was accompanied by a ‘‘Master Robinson,” whom the captain believes to be Miss Neve, or Le Neve. The Sardinian is due at Montreal on the 30th inst. The Scotland Yard officials are reticent and the consensus of newspaper opinion is that Crippen and the girl Le Neve sailed on a slow steamer.
