4llPPEN AND !RL AiUA1 l. Prisoners Readily Reply to Court' Questions-Accused Dentist Will Not Oppose Extradition. Quebec, August 1.-Probably no before August 18 will Dr. Hawley B Crippen and Ethol Clare Leneve b taken aboard a Trans-Atlantic line bound for England, there to stand tria jointly accused of murdering a %vomai believed to have been Belle ElmorE the Doctor's American wife. Tbe crim ial law of the British possessions es tablished this today, when,the hag gard dentist, whose fight - ended s dramatically aboard the Montrose yes terday morning, was arraigned befor a magistrate and remanded until Au gust S. The girl was too ill to appeai Crippen will not figlit extraditior He is exhausted and has sunk into th quicksands of the law without a strug gle. Of the girl's attitude less i kncwn. She is still broken in bod: and spirit, alternately shaken wit' sobs or silently morose. Her relative in London are beeseeching her b: cable to tell all, and the Quebec polic are treating her with a gentlenes rarely accorded a prisoner, eve: though a woman. Perfunctory Act. Forced through a curious crowc Crippen was taken today before th provincial court of special sessionm where he was formally questioned a to his identity and notified that h was under arrest for the murder c an unknown woman. Remanding hir until August 8 was purely perfunc tory, as he and his companion unde the Fugitive Offenders act must re main here at least 15 days. On th 8the. he likely will be remanded agai until the 15th, the first available yes sel for England will not depart unti three days later. By that time another detective fror Scotland Yard, Sergt. Mitchell, wil have arrived, bringing a formal appli cation for extradition. Sergt. Mitchel will aid in taking the prisoners bac for trial. It was a broken man that stood tc day before Judge Angers in the prc vincial court of special sessions. I a voice so weak that it scarcel reached the bench he answered th formal questions put to him. The prc ceedings were brief. Ready to Return. When? brought to the bar, Grippe was heavily manacled, the steel brace lets weighing down his thin wrist.I was apparent he had passed a ba night. The judge asked the prisoner if h was Hawley H. Crippen. "I am," said Crippen. "Do you know this man?" indicatin Inspecter De-;.. Grippen nodded. "Are you ready to go back with hii or any other qualified officer?" b "Yes." "Do you intend to fight extradition? As he answered the questions, Grii pen scarcely raised his head. To fuI ther questions he said he was a citi2 en 'of the United States, born in Mich: gan. When the Judge asked: "Is the girl arrested with you Mis Ethel Glare Leneve?" The doctor replied "yes." His response was in the most colom less tone. The most interesting devel.pmer of the day was the extremely libers treatment of Miss Leneve. Like Crii pen, she is accused of murder but th girl was seen today enjoying the free dom of the house of Chief of Polic McGarthy. When taken from jail tc day. it was announced that she ha< because of her wveak condition, bee transferred to a hospital, but thi proved incorrect. OirI Back in JaiL She is back in jail tonight under th care of a physician, but visitors to th chief's house say they had a glimps of her walking about in the yard fc a breath of air. under careful but ur cobstrusive survellan2ce. Many believe the police are s markedly lenient with Miss Lenev because they believe she is Crippen dupe and that she may turn agains him on the witness stand. Grippen occupies a cell in the prc vincial jail, on the heights east of th city, overlooking the St. Lawrenc river. He is not in chains, and fc several hours today was permitted t exercise in the corridor. The on] prisoners in the corridor are t'w French Canadians, serving short set tences for a street brawl. His jailc said the dentist did not converse wit his companions. Thus far Crippen has been a modE prisoner, making no requests and giP ing the keepers no worry. There ar several ways in which he might mak himself troublesome to the author: ties. He might ask to have the Amer ican consul notified or seek an attor ney to insure that he gets fair treal ment. The United States consu SGebhard Willrich, said today tha He added that he saw no way in which 3 he could better the situation of the prisoner in any way. Inspector Dew, Hero. Inspector Dew is resting after his labors, an object of curiosity to resi dents and tourists that through this queer old French city at this season, and the envy and admiration of the 1 local police. A London dispatch says Miss Len eve's relatives have retained counsel there to defe(i 'her. but oi this puint the police have received no official no-. tice. The court proceedings so far as Crippen was concerned closed to day with the order of the court re manding him. Crippen seemed ut terly discoaraged. but so far as can be ascertained he has let nothing slip; that can be used against him when he comes up for trial. Police, follow ing the wishes 6f Inspector Dew, de sclare they are making no effort to ob tain confessions, and are not subject ing either of the prisoners to anything s approaching "the third degree." Such efforts would be contrary to British police methods. Talks of the crew and other mem bers of the Montrose throw other in Leresting sidelights on the action of the pair on the voyage from Antwerp. Dominick Keen, the steward, who looked after the state room, said. "John Robinson, Jr." e "I was one of the first to discover, by her neat methods in her room, her way of walking and effeminate figure that "John Robinson. Jr.." was a wo-. r man. Then we discovered that the labels had been taken from all their e clothes; that the lining had been torn from the younger Robinson's hat and - soon Capt. Kendall was convinced: 1 that he had the fugitives aboard. The pair spent most of their time in the cabin and shunned the other passeng ers as far as possible." Alfred Smith, the dining room 1 steward, told how Crippen had man oeuvred to keep Miss Leneve seated, by him at the table. He said Crippen had asked for 2 seats at the captain'S! table, side-by-side and next to the wall, so that no one could sit beside Miss Leneve other than himself. "My boy is a little deaf," he told the stew ard, and after some argument suc ceeded in getting the desired seats. In this way he prevented any pas sengers engaging the girl in conversa tion at the table and betraying her sex by her voice. Arthur Homer, of Montreal, one of~ the few English speaking passengers eaboard, came perhaps in closer contact* with the pair. Crippen used to send* him magazines and they often talked together when Miss Leneve was not: present, although Crippen was careful: not to reveal much of his past history. Homer says Crippen and Miss Leneve: used to drink on an average of three bottles of beer a day, and that he had thought it strange that a father, should allow a young son to touch in toxicants. The Tell-Tale Safety Pin. It seems that in the rush and bustle of departure from Antwerp, Crippen and Miss Leneve escaped observation until the following morning, when the gthr officer saw them walking t.o gehron deck. His attention was im-; mediately attracted by the short steps -taken by the younger of the two and her girlish voice. t "I continued to watch them," con 1 tinued the third officer, J. Mowatt, "as my suspicions increased and then a e sudden gust of wind caught the coat covering the smaller figure and lifted e it in the air. Underneath I saw a -large safety pin fastening her trous 1L ers to her vest, a thing no normal man: nl would think of doing. I reported the s matter to Capt. Kendall, and it was not long before he had sent his mes sage saying that Crippen and Miss e Len eve were aboard.'' e Girl Also Willing to Return. e Although too ill to appear in court.: r'the questions prescribed by law were put to Miss Leneve as she sat weakly in a chair at home cf Chief McCarthy, 2~ of 'the provincial police. As Crippen e had said at his arraignment earlier in s the day, she, too, evinced willingness tto go back to England for trial. She' answered the questions in an almost Sinaudible voice, and seemed on the e verge of collapsing. As was her male e companion, she was remanded until. r August 8. o; Until late in the day the judge and. y the police believed that the girl's ex o amination would have to be postpon ed, but finally they decided to ques r ition her at Chief McCarthy's house, aso that both prisoners might be ready to return to England on the same boat 1l at the earliest date permitted by law e Father Believes Him Innocent e Los Angeles, Cal., August 1.-Bowed -down by years and broken by the or deal of his son's flight and arred on suspicion of having killed his wife, -M.
