police to be his missing wife, Belle El
more, the American actress
Crippen 8 companion in flight, Mis-.
Ethel Clare Leneve. was 10 have beer
ported to the court that she was too il
to appear
The authorities are confident that Tho
woman will give no more trouble thar
Crippen promises to, and that as soo1
as the fifteen days of grace provided
by the extradition laws of Canada have
expired the prisoners can be returned
to London without any hitch.
When Crlppen and Miss Leneve were
arrested on board the steamer Montrost
yesterday they were charged with iden
teal crimes, the murder and mutila
tion of an unknown woman. 1t haC
been expected that both would be ar
raigned at 1880 o'clock this morning
and deported on the steamer Roya
George. that will sail for England Thurs
day. However, Inspector Dew re
ceived instructions which change thu
programme.
Will Observe Formalities.
The English officials do not wish any
thing done that would give the appear
ance of "railroading' the prisoners
They wish the formalities of eXtraditiol
followed to the letter.
When this became known the arraign
new plan Of procedure could b.
mapped out. 1t was finally determined
to bring the prisoners before the cour
as fugitlves from Justice and TO set
later date at which they might maxi
any proper protest against their extra
dltion. In the meantime it is supposed
they will be permitted to have counsel
Miss Leneve was transferred thi
mol AgHfrom the provincial Jail to i;
hospital. The girl scarcely has beer
able to stand since her collapse whel
she was taken into custody.
Her condition has excited much sym
paJhy, and Jail keepers today suggested
10 the court that she be sent TO
hospital, where she could receive medi
cal attention,
Considerate of Woman.
The court granted the request, an,
went further IN making known it7 in
tention to send an otncial to the hospita
to take her answers TO the same forma
questions that were asked of Crippel
in open court, This viii spare tn
woman the shock of appearing in cour1
and under the circumstances it i
deemed advisable not to aggravate th
strain under which she is already suffer
| ing.
The girls family in London appear
to be doing all possible to aid her, an
at the same time promote the cause o
justice. During the day she receive,
three cablegTams from her relatives
One of these urged her to tell every
thing, and another besought her to re
member her own family, no matter hoy
great might be her love for Crippen.
1t was broken man that stood be
fore Judge Angers in the provincial
court of special sessions. In a voice s.
weak that 1T scarcely reached the benc]
ne answered the formal questions pu
to him. The proceedings were brief an,
at their conclusion the prisoner was re
manded for fifteen days instead of uu
til August 8 and at the expiration o
that time he will be sent back to Eng
land unless meantime he decides to fiph
extradition.
Hearing Moves Quietly.

Then he held whispered conferenc
with the Canadian detectives afte
which the latter hurried away to tn
Jail A report that they had gone al
ter Crippen filtered through the mass o
humanity that extended in every direc
