Treating Her with Greatest Kindness
Their Case Believed 10 be
Incomplete

Miss Leneye, tho two prisoners who
have focused the eyes OF the world on
this old French city on the 81. Law
renee. slept last night the sleep Of com
plote exhaustion following the ordeal
Of the preceding hours.
CripIsn and the girl now face two
weeks or more Of monoionous waiting
There will be no more legal proceed
ings in the case until Aug. when they
will have another purely formal APP
peaTance In court 20 give them last
opportunity OF demanding writ OF
habeas corpus or any other legal rellet
to which they may feel entitled.
Unless they change their expressed
Intention neither win apply for writes
or interfere IN any way with the meth-
urds adopted by the police to get them
back TO England.
So far az the province Of Quebec Is
concerned legal proceedings are prac-
tically closed. The official documents

In her appearance.
CRIPPEN Is TACITURN.
Crippen, taciturn and seeming to
conside rable extent to have recovered
his composure, has volunteered moth
ing since his srraignment yesterday
which might help the police In Solving
the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance OF his Wife
The detectives would like to gather
from the accused some additional eVl-
dence, but unless present signs fan
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 1t is generally believed
that the police are resting their hopes
on Miss Leneve. II she does not pos
sess the key 10 the mystery. they think
she can at least aid them materially in
a reconstruotion OF the circumstances
leading up To the disappearance of Belle
Gilmore IL is known that Mrs. Grip
pen was Jealous OF her husbands typist
and the police have no doubt that Misc
Leneve was aware OF this Jealousy
They will not use any "third degree
methods in interviewing Miss LeneVe
but more subtle influences already arc al
work Tho girl prisoner Is being treat
ed with the greatest consideration. She
showed the effect OF this today, appear
ing to be much better in body and In
mind than on yesterday when, following
the collapse after her arrest. she was
considered too III to appear In court.
TREATMENT OF MISS LBNEVE,
Miss Ieneve has never been placed In
a cell here. She has been kept In the
room OF one Of the women employees OF
the provincial Jail, and has been al
lowed occasional outdoor exercise. The
attitude toward her OF the police Is
sympathetic Inspector Dew has re-
peatedly said that he believed the girl
was Innocent OF any knowledge OF
wrongdoing she has been visited by
women who have treated her most
kindly
Al the same time Miss Levene Is
being bombarded with cablegrams from
Of her family in Londan urg
ing her to toll all she knows The
OF frendliness is being eXerted
On her. while there Is no prospect that
she will come In contact with DR.
Crippen or even see him for a long
time.
The purpose in all this Is obvious
when II is considered that so far as is
generally known, Scotland Yard has
been unable to identify the dlsmem-
hered body found In the cellar OF the
C'rippen home in London. The police
case is believed not to be complete.
Even the Unconditional Dew, the
typical English detective, has been
affected by Miss Leneve's plight
II am sorry for her" he said today
Il don't believe she knew anything
about it."
While the Canadian and English laws
strictly prohibit any attempt by the
police TO obtain a confession ana es-
peciany forbid third degree" tactics,
II the girl should express a desire 10
make revelations the police say that
they would accept her statement after
she had been warned that anything
she said might be used against her at
her trial
Thus far. I'm her moments Of extreme
shock and weakness the police assert.
Crlppen's companion has remained
loyai 10 him so far as her silence Is
loyalty.
TRYING TO PUMP CR1PPEN,
Crippen today was permitted to re-
ceive the first message that has reach
ed him from the outside since his
arrest.
The police have denied all requests
to see and speak with the prisoner
md threw up their hands IN amaze
ment az the idea 81 a newspaper inter
view Today. however Judge Anglers
authorized the prison governor. Jo-
seph NORM, 20 visit Crippen and give
him a verbal message asking N he
would make a public statement Tho
magistrate imposed the terms that
anything Crippen might say must he put
by him in writing and submitted 10 the
court before II was given out
NORM found the prisoner In the same
silent and morose state that he has
preserved since his imprisonment
When told that ne had a chance 20
send some word 10 the outside world
Crippen displayed not the slightest In
