CHARLTON
DECLARED insane
Verdict of Expert Alienists in New
York PreeIudes all Possibility of
His Extradition.

Special to The I'etDs.
New York, Aug. 1.-Expert alien
lists employed by the young mans
father, have declared Porter Charlton
insane. The wife slayer who con-
fessed, is in the Hudson county, N. j.,
Jail.
The experts are DR.. Ian McLane,
II. A. Milton and Drs. A. N. Fisher
and Arlitz. Charlton was to have a
hearing on August II. Edward F..
Smith, Charlton's lawyer, induced
Prosecutor Garven to consent to an
adjournment until September 80,
when it would be possible to have the
alienists in court in person to testify
as to the prisoners mental condition.
The verdict of the alienists. al
though they were employed by the
family of the prisoner and not by the
State, it is fully believed, will be ac-
cepted as final in the proceedings
concerning his keeping.
The question of extradition has not
been disposed of and probably will
not be. The decision that he is in
sane will preclude all chance of the
Italian government getting him back
there for trial for murder.

DOCTOR CRIPPEN
TAKEN IN charge.
He and the Leneve Woman Taken In
Custody by British Officials at M
Quebec, Canada.
(By Associated Press.)

Quebec, Canada, Aug. IA British
justice moved swiftly today in the
case of DR.. Hawley Crippen and Ethel
Clare Leneve who, charged with gull
ty knowledge of an abominable
crime," fed from the other side Of the
Atlantic only to be caught in police
trap before they could put foot on
the soil of the Dominion of Canads
The steamer Mortr0se, on which
the 4ugitives were arrested yesterday,
arrived at her pier here early this
morning. The prisoners were hasten
ed through an enormous crowd of cu-
rious ones to the provincial jail, where
they were placed in separate cells.
DR.. Crippen's face was as pale as
death when he was led off the steam
er this morning, guarded by several
detectives, one of whom carried
suit case marked "J. Robinson" the
doctors assumed name.
Miss Leneve had given up her boys I
attire for a skirt and shirtwaist, loan
ed here by the stewardess. A heavy
veil covered her head.
1t was necessary for the officers to
charge through the crowd in order
to reach the cab which conveyed the
prisoners to the jail, and during this
charge both Crippen and the girl
were partially carried, having given
way completely.
When the case of DR.. Crippen was
called today, Crippen announced that
he would not resist extradition. He
will probably be taken back to Eng
land within q few days. The Leneve
girl was today taken to hospitals
jail officials declaring her condition
demanded the best medical attention.
She received a cablegram from home
which read Tell all you know.
(signed) Papa" $
The general belief here Is that the
girl believed herself Crippen's lawful
wife, and did not know that be va

LOCAL Contractors
WILL GET PREFERENCE
ing Grounds for Foundation of New
Federal Building Will Probably be
Let to Local Contractors.

1t was stated on reliable authority
this morning that the work of exca-
waiting the earth and preparing the
grounds for the foundation of the
new federal building in Hattiesburg
would probably begin not later than
August 18th, as bids for the work have
already been received and will be
opened and the contract awarded on
that date.
Messrs. Caperton Bros. and Cal
Cunningham, 1t is said, are the only
local people who have submitted bids
on this job, and it is thought to be
more than probable that the contract
will be let to one of them. The gen.
tlemen stated today that in the event
they secure the contract they will be-
gin the work Of grading the grounds
Immediately
Local contractors have also been
asked to submit bids on several of the
sub-contracts, and it is probable that
nearly all the work, except the main
building, will be done by Hattiesburg
men. 1t is thought that it will be
September before work on the main
building is commenced, as there is a
great deal of preparatory work to be
done before this can be started.

First Takes Laudanum.

All day Sunday she COM
planned of feeling badly and refused
TO take refreshments of any kind, but
the family did not become suspicious
of her Intentions of self-destruction
until little son OF Mrs. Hopkins re-
ported to his mother that Mrs. Reeves
had been drinking something from a
bottle. The little fellow was told, to
find the bottle, which he did, and it
was found that 1t had contained
laudanum. 1t appeared, however,
that there had not been a sufficient
amount of the drug taken to cause
death, its only noticeable effect upon
the young woman being to produce
drowsiness.
After this occurrence, it was stated,
Mrs Hopkins determined to stay close
bv her daughter to prevent, IL possi-
bic. any further attempt at self-de-
struction. A short while before the

went into effect today, is strictly en-
forced. And the word has gone forth
among reckless drivers of automobiles
that the officials mean business and
that violators of the statute will soon
find themselves on the inside, looking
out, of a cell. Many chaffeurs and
reckless drivers have been deprived of
their tags and the good work will go
merrily on, 1t is promised, until the
whole pestiferous band of 10y riders"
are given something resembling their
Just deserts. Every chaffeur has been
"mugged" and other methods of identi-
fication made use of 10 ths end that no
guilty man escape.
