THE LANDING AT QUEBEC.

Quebec, Aug. 1.-The steamer Mont
rose, ON which the fugitives were ar
rested yesterday, arrived at the pier
here at 1850 O'Clock this morning. The
prisoners were FASTENED through the
enormous crowd of curious ones to the
provincial Jail, where they were placed
in separate cells for the night and
where they got a few hours sleep.
The landing of the prisoners made
a dramatic scene. AS they appeared

Crippen and the woman would have
fallen but for the arms which support

Crippen's manacled hands swung
loosely in front of him. Miss Leneve
swayed from side to side. Her close
IN cut hair still gave her the boyish
appearance which she had tried to
adopt and many of the crowd were
fooled into thinking that the diminu-
tive figure was not that of the woman
who had challenged the attention of
two continents They believed the po-
lice were using little boy, disguised
as a woman to distract the attention OF
the crowd and give them an oppor-
tunity to remove the real prisoner with
less inconvenience.
The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot OF the gang plank
when the crowd closed in, ana it was
only after the police had charged that
they were able to make a passage to
the waiting cab.
The prisoners, half carried b. the Of

FRANK SPENCE
WILL NOT DIE
Governor Sloan COmNMtGS
SentenCetO etOLifeImpPisonment
NEW EVIDENCE FOUND
Former Governors Francis
and Stone of Missouri,
interviewed in His Behalf.
Frustrated Murderer Not
Yet Heard of Good News

Prescott, Aug. 1.-(Special)-GoN-
ernor Sloan today committed the SEN
tence of Frank Spence, who was to be
hanged on Friday. to life !mprlson-
ment. The governor was influenced
largely in his decision by affidavits
showing the relations between the
murderer and his victim prior to the
crime, this \evidence not having been
presented at the trail.
Spence killed Edgar Sullivan october
%. 1908, at the latter's ranch five miles
west of this city. Spence had sold Sui
livan the land and the latter was IN
possession. Some weeks after the
transfer Spence visited the place and
trouble arose, and while Sullivan had
his back turned, Spence shot him, the
bullet entering the rear of the Gead and
emerging in front.
The Spence family is promihent in
Missouri. He was a schOolmate OF
Bishop Talbot of the Episcopal church
and of Governor Shaffroth of Colora-
do. Former Governors Francis and
stone of Missouri are friends of the
Spence family, and il is understood
they used their influence for clemency
with Governor Sloan.
Spence will not be informed of his
escape from the gallows until tomor-
ROW. He is on the verge of collapse
and is physically and mentally pros
trated.
Spence was to have been hanged
in the Prescott Jail the coming FTi-
day. a. fact that has been given wide
publicity throughout the territory
That publicity has occasioned some
wonder why the execution was plan
ned to be held in Prescott instead Of
at the pcnitentary. Il law having
been passed by the legislature Of
l1909 to the effect that all subsequent
executions should be within the
prison
A parag graph in the new law states
that it shall not apply to any Grim
inal already under sentence. Spence
was convicted and sentenced before
| the law became effective. His case
has since been taken to the supreme
court where the decision of the lower
| court vas affirmed and Spence was
resentenced Judge Doe in resen-
fencing the prisoner used the exact
language of the original sentence, eX-
cept the changing of the date.

less than what was agreed upon IN

from Providence that he would not

MURDERER'S MISS|VE
OURHAMS EXPLANATION
OF A SERIES OF BLOODY CRIMES
Belief Of the San Diego Police That
He Was a Maniac.

San Diego, Aug. Letters found
on the person of Bert Durham, a for
Tner city. fireman. who committed sui
eide in a downtown park this morning
after killing his wife and little son,
the captain of the fire department
and wounding two firemen willie on
an insane rampage, may explain many
details that puzzled the police and
reveal that up to the time that Dur
ham shot himself blood lust was on
him.
The letters are all lucid, but the
police have not abandoned the belief
that Durham was a raving maniac
when he committed the s"rIcs of
crimes In the letters Durham eX-
plains that during the three hours
between the time he beat his wife
and child to death, while being hunted
by hundreds he was hiding in the
grounds directly across the street
from engine house No. 3. lying in wait
for Captain Sampsell. At that time
Durham did not know that his bullets
had found their intended mars.
He writes: 20 a. IN. | write this, as
am not settled whether to give my
self up or not If | had a full round
Of ammunition I would get S9mpsell
yet | would like to go hin, to a
finish. This may be omega
Then follows a vitUperation Of the
man he claims bounded him out Of
the fire department and an expression
of sorrow that he shot one of the
! other firemen while attempting tn
get" Sampsell, against whom the
attack was directed. Without giving
| a reason for killing his wife and child,
he gave directions for their burial,
| and where money could be obtained
| for the expenses.
For himself, he directed that he he
buried at the countys expense. An
hour after writing the letter Durham
| caught a car, bought a morning pa
per, read an account of mis- crimes
and walked into the public park and
| i'm the sight of several persons sent
| one of the remaining bullets into his
| brain, dying a few hours later.
