Significance Of the Charge.

There was special interest In the
nature OF the formal charge, as the
warrant for the fugitives had merely
laid at their door responsibility for
the death of an unknown woman
whose body was found in the cellar
Of the Crippen home at Hilldrop Cres'
cent
The fact that the prisoners were ac'
cused OF the murder Of Belle Elmore
leads to the supposition that the mutt
lated body has been identified to the
satisfaction OF the authorities.
1t also suggests that the police be
lleve they have further evidence OF
Miss Leneve's connection with the
tragedy than they have made known.
The proceedings consisted OF the in
PRODUCTION OF evidence and the prison
ers were remanded until Sept with
out having pleaded or made any com
ment.
Crippen and Miss Leneye stood to-
gether In the dock. He wore gray
frock suit, while his companion was
dressed in a tailor-made suit OF blue.
The prosecutor explained that the
governments evidence against Miss
Leneve pointed only to her as being
an accessory after the fact He said
he proposed at this time TO offer only
formal evidence. A week hence the
prosecution would be ready TO proceed
with the case.
Explaining his suspicion that Grip
pen had planned suicide, Inspector
Dew exhibited to the court a business
card upon one side Of which were the
words: "P. Robinson & Co, Michigan.
Presented by John E. Robinson"
Had Thoughts Of Suicide.
This card was found among Grip
pens effects and on the back OF II.
apparently in the doctors handwrit
ing. was the following:
81 cannot stand the horror go
through every night any longer. and
as see nothing bright ahead and my
Journey Is coming to an end ! have
made up my mind to Jump overheard
tonight.
Il know have spoiled your life. but
some day you may learn to forgive me.
Ny last words are Of love"
Dew alss introduced a torn piece OF
a card on which Crippen had written
this: shall we walt until tonight
about 10 or II? II not, what timer
Inspector Dew said that Crippen told
him that Miss Leneve knows moth
ing about IT, I never told her any
thing"

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. December 29.-Reduced Ar
gentine crop estimates and more active
buying in France and other European
countries helped give firm tone today to
the wheat market here. Sentiment was
also little more friendly to the bull
side. owing to support given by leading
interests. In addition the weather map
showed generally dry conditions south
west. although little moisture was
noted at various places. On the other
hand. cash demand dragged and display
ed no sign of any improvement soon. On
the bulge there was quite free selling by
commission houses in general. Opening

A Strong Contrast.

.Centenarians Two" by Clarence l..
Cullen is good title and a good subject
for the first issue of our Sunday Maya
zine of the new year. The writer went
searching for centenarians SO he could
find the recipe for living that long He
found two. about as widely apart ind-
viduals as would be possible in human be-
ings. One of them was wizened, peev-
ish bunch of brittle bones, who hated
every body and everything, particularly
any individual who ever took a drink of
intoxicant or a smoke of tobacco or went
to q theater He was alive at 1O4 but he
was as physically tottering as he had be-
gun to totter mentally decades before.
But the other-a great. big. burly, huge
voiced. healthy strapping son of the seas
who tossed Off his rum with the activity
of a young swashbuckler. who smoked
pipefuls of black tobacco, ate heartily at
all times of the day and night and slept
like a log-looked like a healthy man OF
sixty, though he was two years older
than the first one Mr. Cullen interviewed.
It's fine contrast that this author
found.
