Mothers Only Hope Now Is
That Typist Will Tel All

LONDON, August When visited al
their fiat in northwest London Mrs. Wal
ter Leneve was found in state of sus-
pense. When informed Of the arrest OF
his daughter the father said: MY minC
is greatly relieved. l should have beer
bitterly disappointed if this had turned
out to be another mares nest I've beer
fearing what this awful man would dc
with my daughter in the end. 1t woult
have been a dreadful thing if Cripper
had escaped trial and judgment.
II think my daughter has been charged
with being an accessory after the fact
We hope to have her home soon. In
angry with her for having deceived US
but cannot think she went away, know
ing the horrible thing Crippen is charg
ed with or suspected Of MY opiniol
is that Crippen induced her to disguise
herself and go with him by telling hel
that something was wrong with his busl'
ness affairs, and that, as she was ds'
ISOLATED with him in the office, the po-
lice might charge her, too.
Glad Daughter Is Found.
Mrs I.eneve, crying, said: Il cannot
say how glad l am at last to know
where my girl is. The suspense has
been awful, almost more than l could
bear My only hope now Is that If she
knows what Crippen has done she will
tell everything she knows. He must have
a terrible influence over her, but perhaps
when she knows what he is accused OF
she will come to her senses. Nothing
can make me believe she would have
anything to do with the crime
The father ended the interview by say
ing: 1.-The law knows no sympathy. II
just has to be administered.
.'The question of all questions with
mother seems to be whether our daugh-
ter is married.
when l look back twelve years to the
days of Ethers early childhood" said
Mrs. Leneve later, Sadness for her po-
sition becomes intensified. From earliest
childhood she displayed fondness for pref
ty things, and / am afraid that love for
nice things gave her just trace of self
ishness Ethel had little vanities. She
hated to carry even the smallest parcels
in the streets. The last time she was
here she insisted that her little brother
should bring to Hildrop Crescent some
utensils 1 gave her. Ethel always wore
her heart on her sleeve. She was a
prudish girl, but one who wouldn't mas
querade. / am convinced that Crippen
hypnotized her. During the last year l
haven't seen much of her. How sorry I
am that 1 didn't watch her more care
fully"

in the direction indicated by the officers
said:
Il am glad. The suspense was toe
great
In the two berth-room to which he was
conducted Crippen flung himself into a
steamer chair and buried his face in his
hands Mccarthy remained with him
Meantime Miss Leneve, alone in her state
room. waited to feel the hand of the law.

Denis said:

Spanish Protestants Few.

Only about 5000 communicable and reg
ular attendants of Protestant churches
live in Spain, according to the last esti-
mate for the State Department. made
two or three years ago. This estimate
was prepared by the representative of the
American board of commissioners for for
eign missions.
In addition to the 5000 regular attend
ants it was estimated that there were
about 10000 Protestant adherents or per-
sons who though attending services only
occasionally were more in sympathy and
accord with the Protestant Church than
with the Catholic.

Court-Martial of Capt. Hand.

The judge advocate general of the
army has completed his review of the
proceedings of the general court-martial
in the case of Capt Daniel W. Hand, 1st
Field Artillery, at San Francisco. The
fact that the case was sent to the War
Department for action is taken to indi-
cate that the sentence imposed Is of a
serious character, but there is no Of
fetal admission to that effect.

Crippen and the woman would have
dropped in their tracks but for the strong
arms which supported them. Crippen's
manacled hands swung loosely in front
OF him.
Miss Leneve swayed from side to side
Her closely 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 dimnutiye
figure was not that of the woman who
lad challenged the attention of two con-
I tinents, and believed that the police were
using a little boy disguised as a woman
to distract the attention of the crowd
and so give them opportunity to remove
the real prisoner with less Inconvenience -
The little procession had scarcely reach

pushing crowd closed in around it.

London Police Make Sure
of Holding the Prisoners

LONDON, August with a view tc
preventing the remote possibility of the
escape of Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve
through technicality, Scotland Yard to-
day decided upon the advice of the attor-
ney general that so far as they control
in the matter all formalities involved in
the eXtradition laws of Canada shall be
complied with in the case of the prison
ers under arrest at Quebec
Accordingly Inspector Dew was in
structed to ask simply that the Canadian
court remand the accused until the ar
rival from London of a formal applica-
ton for their eXtradition to England with
evidence supporting the request.
Sergt Mitchell, who assisted Dew in
the preliminary investigation, will leave
for Canada as soon as the necessary pa
pers are ready, which will be either on
Wednesday or Thursday of the present
week. The evidence to be submitted to
the Canadian authorities will include that
taken at the inquest over the mutilated
body unearthed in the Crippen cellar.
This will be supported by more detailed
dispositions of the witnesses who were
examined at the inquest, and all of the
additional TESTIMONY since gathered by
the police. 1t may possibly include also
tthe preliminary report of Prof. Pepper,
who made the analytical examination of
the body.

that Dew has failed to secure the hoped

duty was to get his man, to have obtain

so far as we are concerned said
Supt Froest of Scotland Yard today
I'VE are satisfied that we have got the
most complete chain of evidence. Still
we are now busy picking up the threads,
but the evidence already in our hands is
believed by the law officers of the crown
to be quite sufficient to convict"
Supt. Froest added that Chief Inspector
Dews own evidence was sufficient to JUS
tify Canada in holding the prisoners until
Mitchell arrives.
In the meantime Scotland Yard does
not expect anything from Dew, but will
keep him informed of developments here.
Ii the wishes of the police respecting the
formalities of eXtradition are complied
with, the case is not likely to be opened
in this city until September.

Betrayed by Chance Happening.

The chance happening that brought
them under his eye was this: The Rev.
John Robinson who apparently was a
quiet, retiring clergyman, had conspicu-
ously large eyebrows They attracted
the attention of steward. and one day
to his amazement hh noticed that one of
the broWs had slipped out of place. He
reported this to Capt. Kendall who at
once began his own observations
The next day there was another pecul-
lar happening. The "Robinsons,' sup
posedly father and son, We're standing
near the rail forward, where Capt Ken
dali could see them from his bridge. The
son slipped his hand into that of the
other The captain could see that it was
given an affectionate squeeze and was
held for several minutes. That seemed
strange conduct for two men. The cap
tain then took opportunity to go close
to the supposed son. He saw enough to
tell the steward to spy out the truth, and
that was that the younger passenger was
woman, not man.
The wireless cracked out the news to
the world last Tuesday that the missing
ones had been found beyond doubt; In
spector Dew, on the pursuing liner Lau-
rentic, drew nearer and nearer to them
and then passed them, with d warrant in
his pocket, to await them on shore; the
officers and attendants on the ship
guarded their every movement, lest they
should destroy their own lives; over in
London preliminary prepare atoms were be-
gun for the trial of Crippen. What was
doing aboard the Montrose was known
every few hours on shore; what hap
pened ashore was known on the Mont
rose. The wireless took and gave orders
and information.
Yet the poor fugtives knew nothing of
all this. Believing themselves free they
were prisoners of the wireless all the
time.

Men of Protestant churches in New
York ard within a radius OF fifty miles
of that city are taking keen and active
interest In meetings recently begun
which will continue until Sunday.
Jan. 10. These meetings are arranged

significant, since they aim at world
evangelization. Protestants of all de
nominations are working in unity to
make the campaign one OF tremendous
success, showing that creed differences
are being forgotten. The laynen's
missionary movement was organized
for the purpose Of showing the men
Of America their duty to non-Christian
lands and how to discharge that duty.
It IS hoped by the missionary move
ment that volunteers viii be found
who viii go into the foreign fields to
spread the work OF eFangelization.
Pledges Of large financial support to
the movement have been made, and
all through the United States the keen.
est interest is said to prevail In the
work ahead After the campaign in
