Joint accusation Of numbering a woman

doctors American wife. The criminal
laws OF the British possessions estab-
lished this to-day. when the haggard
dentist. whose fight ended so dramati-
cally aboard the steamship Montrose

Miss Leneve as she sat weakly in a chair
at the home Of Chief Mccarthy. of the
provincial police. As Crippen had said
at his arraignment earlier in the day,
she, too. evinced willingness to go back
70 England for trial. She answered the
questions in an almost inaudible voice
and seemed on the verge Of collapse.
She also was remanded until August 5.
Until late in the day the judge and the
police believed that the girls examina-
ton would have to be postponed. but
finally they decided TO question her at
Chief McCarthy's house. so that both
prisoners might be ready to return to
England on the same boat at the earliest

or silently morose. Her relatives in Lon

her with gentleness rarely accorded to

Forced through a curious crowd like

taken before the Provincial Court of
Special Sessions to-day, where he was
formally questioned regarding his iden-

Miss Leneve Well Treated.
Although Crippen was the centre of at

most interesting development of the day

Miss Leneve by the police Like Grip

to-day il was announced that she had
because Of her weak condition, been

to be incorrect. She is back in Jail to-

Many believe that the police are mark /

because they pity her plight but also /
because they doubt that she Was equally |
