both prisoners can be returned to London
without any hitch.
Instructions From England.
When Crippen and Miss Leneve were

with an identical crime. the murder and
been expected that both would be ar
raigned at 1880 o'clock this morning and
deported on the steamer Royal George
that will sail for England Thursday.
However, Inspector Dew received instruc-
tions which changed the program.
The English officials do not wish any
thing done that would give the appear
ance Of ''railroading'' the prisoners. They
wish the formaiitIes of extradition fol-
lowed to the letter.
When this became known here the az
raignment of the accused was delayed
until new plan OF procedure could b.
mapped out. 1t was finally determined to
bring the prisoners before the court as

pointed.
The case was not called at the time
set. and Judge Anglers even intimated
that the prisoners might not be brought
before him today. He said in explanation
of the delay that the matter rested with
Deputy Attorney General Lanctot. 1t is
believed that the delay was due to ad-
vices received by Inspector Dew from
Scotland Yard. The inspector is awaiting
the arrival from LONDON of an offlcer
bearing the necessary papers, which Will
require ten days at least, and In the

the attitude toward the woman in the
case was strangely different Everywhere
one heard words of sympathy for the girl

to the man now charged with d crime so
shocking as to seem almost unbeievable.
Reports from the provincial jail, where
Crippen and Miss Leneve have been con-
fined since their arrival here, added 10
the pupular feeling. Miss Leneve Is
described as having sobbed and moaned
as she tossed on her cot during the early
hours today.
When she arose this morning she was
handed a cablegram, which read:
Tell all you know.
