Inspector Dew visited the dentist
this afternoon to obtain his answer to
Solicitor NewtOn's cablegram from
London prOffering legal assistance.
This Crippen accepted, and promised
TO keep his mouth shut and not re-
sist xtraditiOn-cOnditiOns imposed in
the solicitors message.
An effort to learn anything about
the friends the London solicitor says
are willing to pay the expenses Of his
defense was as fruitless here as IL is
said to have been in London.
The big greystOne jail where Grip
pen is confined has become the fore
most of Quebec's many points OF in
terest. The seeing Quebec" trolley
cars stop near by so that the tourists
who thrOng the city in summer may
have q chance to gaze into the window
of the corridor where the alleged wife
slayer takes his exercise. Several per-
sons saw him today, and once he looked
out of the window and nodded and
smiled.
Miss Leneve continues to spend her
time quietly in the prison infirmary
and is said 20 be improving in health.
Prisoner Sleeps Well.
DIR. Crippen slept well last night and
appeared in moderately good spirits
when ne arose at 8 o'clock. He had
breakfast an hour later The prisoner
spends his time reading and walking
in the Jail corridor
Miss Leneve, Jointly charged with
Crippen with murder, remained today
in the prison infirmary. She is being
kept there, not because her condition
any longer demands IT, but that she
may not come in contact with other
women prisoners, who might, the po-
lice fear, annoy her and SO aggravate
her extreme nervousness.
The pretty typist is better supplied
with funds than is her male cOmpan-
ion. While but SIS were found on
MI. rfrr Or
rency. A large part of this sum was
used today by the prison matron to
purchase clothing suitable Tor her
charge. The authorities continue their
cOnsiderate treatment OF the girl, but
continued reports that she has made
admissions damaging to Crippen or IN
the way of establishing her own IN
nOcence are denied.
Crippen's comparative calm gives ac-
cOrding to his keepers, positive re-
futatiOn of the allegation made in Lon
don that he had been addicted 10 the
use of drugs
Offers of Legal Help.
Crippen did not jump at the offer OF
legal services that came to MIN from
a London solicitor last night The
provincial authorities said this MORN
ing that the prisoner had not replied
to the cablegram which came from Ar
thur Newton, setting forth that the
latter had been asked TO uCder1ake the
would defray the expenses involved.
II appears that Crippen will not
want for counsel. Yesterday a local
visited the Jail and through
the jailer, sent a message offering his
services free Of expense. He said that
he had been retained by persons in
London, the names of whom he de-
clined TO make known. Crippen prompt
" refused the DrOffered aid, and at
the same time told the prison COVER
nor, Joseph Norm. that he had law
yer in London and did not need an
other.
This statement was made before he
had received the message from Newton
and it is believed by some that Grip
pen had anticipated a move by certain
of his London friends.
Inspector Dew and Chief Mccarthy
visited Crippen last night and remained
