Woman the Central Figure.
Ethel Clare LIE Neve, who gave u,
home and friends for love of DR.. Havs-
ley H. Crippen, and now finds herself
sharing with him the odium of a mur.
der charge, is the central figure in tt,.
police end of the tragedy.
Cr1ppen- taciturn and seeming to a
considerable extent to have recovered
his composure. has volunteered nothiue
since his arraignment yesterday which
might help. the police in solving the
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of his wife. Belle Elmore. the American
actress.
1t is expected that Crippen and Miss
LIE Neve viii be returned to England
for trial at the expiration of the fifteen
days grace provided by the extraditio1
laws of Canada. In the meantime the
detectives would like very much to
gather from the accused additional evil
dence that would facilitate the subse-
quent procedure. Unless present signs
fail they will receive no help in this
line from DR.. Crippen. "Crippen is no
fool" said Inspector Dew, and no one
questioned his opinion.
Accordingly it is generally believed
that the police. are resting their hopes
on Miss LIE Neve. If she does not
possess the key TO the mystery, they
think that she. can at least aid them
materially in reconstruction of the
circumstances leading up to the dis
appearance of Belle Elmore 1t is
known that Mrs. Crippen was jealous
Of her husbands typist. and the POI
lice have no doubt that Miss LIE Neve
was aware of this jealousy.
They will not use any third de-
gree methods In interviewing Miss I-a
Neve, but more subtle influences al
ready are at work. The girl prisoner
is being treated with the greatest con-
sideration- She showed the effect Of

New "Third Degree. Work.
Miss lie Neve has never been placed
in cell here. She has been kept IN
the room of one of the women en-
ployees of the provincial Jail and has
been allowed occasional outdoor exer-
else. The attitude toward her by the
police is sympathetic. Inspector Dew
has repeatedly said that he believed
the girl was innocent Of any knowledge
of wrong-doing. She has been visited
by other women who have treated her
most kindly. At the same time Miss
lie Neve is being bombarded with
cablegrams from members of her family
in London to tell all she knows. The
pressure of friendliness is being exert
ed upon her, while there is no prospect
that she will come in contact with Dr.
Crippen or even see him for n long
time.
The purpose in all this is obvious
when it is considered that so far as Is
generally known Scotland Yard has
been unable to identify the dismezn=
! bered body found in the cellar OF the
Crippen house in London The police
case is believed not to be complete.

Even the Unconditional Dew. the

not believe she knew anything about

While the Canadian and English laws
strictly prohibit any attempt by the
police to secure a confession and es-
pecially forbid third degree tactics. n
the girl should express desire to make
revelations the police say that they
would accent her statement after she
