MISS LENEvE AS A BOY
Accused Mans Typist in Clever
Disguise-May Return to
England Present Week.

Quebec, Aug. 1.-Canadian justice
moved quickly today in the case of DR..
Hawley Harvey Crippen and Miss
Ethel Clara Leneve, who are charged
with guilty knowledge of an abomina-
BILE crime" and who fed from, the 9th
er side of the Atlantic only to be
could put foot on the soil of the Do
minion.
The steamer Montrose, upon which
the fugitives were arrested while the
vessel was still 100 miles from this
port yesterday, arrived at its pier here
at 1875" this morning. The prisoners
were fastened through an enormous
crowd to the Jail, where they were
placed in separate cells for the night.
Today both prisoners appeared refresh
ed, for theirs was the common expert
ence of hunted ones.
Both Are Exhausted.
The agony of suspense over, they had
fallen into that deep sleep that be-
tokens physical exhaustion. AS soon
as the arrests were made the local
court authorities were notified, and
Judge Panel Anglers decided to hold
court at 1890 this morning. The &C
cused were held under the law pertain
ing to fugitives suspected of connection
with g. -eFiRae. -=t-&s--s.ls-,
The authorities hope Crippen and his
typist can be sent back to London on
the steamer George. which sails Thurs
day. However, the prisoners have
right to remain here Is days before
their departure. This period affords
them opportunity to seek release
through habeas corpus proceedings.
Crippen may also exercise his right as
an American citizen to appeal to the
American consul and make sure his
rights are not infringed. 1t is doubt
s. full if Crippen avails himself of either
chance for delay.
Thousands Meet steamer.
A crowd commenced to gather early
in the evening, and by the time the
Moutrose reached its dock several
thousand people had assembled In
spector Dew had maintained unceasing
vigil over the cabins the prisoners oc-
cupied. Half an hour before the time
for going ashore, Crippen was brought
on deck by Detective Dennis, and De
tectiye Mccarthy had Miss Leneve in
charge Dew led the way to the gang
way. Both prisoners we're near nhy-
steal collapse, and as they caught sight
of the enormous crowd would have
dropped in their tracks but for the
strong arms which supported them.
The police were obliged to charge the
pushing, excited crowd in order to clear
the way for the officers and prisoners,
who were rushed and half carried to
the carriages.
AS soon as the party entered the
door of the vehicle was slammed shut
and it clattered along the wood floor of
the pier and out into the narrow street
that led to the provincial building. The
door of the provincial Jail stood open,
waiting its new guests, and the formal
ties were quickly over. Crippen was
placed IN small cell, but Miss Leneve
was given a large and comparatively
comfortable room on the upper floor.
Early today throngs gathered outside
the Jail in anticipation of the appear
ance of the prisoners in court.
Hearing Postponed.
Crippen was arraigned today and
held for further hearing on Aug. Is.
Miss Leneve was too i'll to appear In
court. 1t is believed the delay was
due to advices received today by In
spector Dew from Scotland Yard.
The inspector is awaiting the arrival
from London OF an officer bearing
the necessary extradition papers.
Immense crowds surrounded the
building in which the hearing took
place. Much bitterness was mani
tested toward Crippen, but the people
sympathize with the woman, believ-
Ing she WAS duped by her companion.
When Miss Leneve arose this morn
ing she received a cable message
from her father urging her to tell ali
she knows.
Crippen Broken Man.
1t was a broken man that stood to-
cay before Judge Anglers in the pro-
vIncial court in special session. His
vcice was so weak it scarcely reached
the bench. Crippen answered the for
nal questions put to him. Proceedings
We're brief and at their conclusion the
prisoner was remanded until Aug. Is.
Cnpnen will not resist his return to
EI gland to stand trial
