WOMAN
WILL Be

CASE LIKELY INCOMPLETE
And Conviction of the Murderer
May Depend Upon Miss Le-
neve. the Stenograher.

Quebec, Aug, 2.-Ethel Clara LIE.
neve who gave up home and friends
for love of DR.. Hawley I'll. Crippen and
now finds herself sharing with him the
odium of murder charge, is today the
central figure in the police end the
tragedy.
Crippen, tactiturn and seeming to a
considerable extent to have recovered
his composure, has said nothing since
his arraignment yesterday which
might held the police to solve the mys-
terry which might help the police to
solve the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of his wife, Bell Gilmore,
the American actress.
1t is expected that Crippen and Miss
Leneve will be returned to England
to England for trial at the expiration
of the fifteen days grace provided by
the extradition laws of Canada. In
the meantime the detectives would like
very much to gather from the accused
additional evidence to would facilitate
procedure.
Unless present signs fail they will
receive no help in this line from DR..
Crippen.
"Crippen is no fool, said Inspector
Dew and no one questions his opinion
1t is generally believed that the police
are resting their hopes on Miss Leneve.
If she does not possess the key to the
mystrey, they think she can at least
aid them materially in a reconstruction
of the circumstances leading up to the
disappearance of Belle Gilmore. 1t is
known that Mrs. Crippen was jealous
of her husbands typist and the police
have no doubt that Miss Leneve was
aware of it.
They will not use any "third degree
methods in interviewing Miss Leveve,
but more subtle influences already at
work The girl prisoner is being treat
ed with the greatest consideration. She
showed the effect of this today, appear
ing to be much better in body, and in
mind than on yesterday when she was
too ill to appear in court.

8 WHITE MEN WOUNDED
Trouble Started Over Note White
Man Had Endorsed for Negro.
Situation Now In Control.

Houston, July 30.-That a
dozen or more negroes have
been killed and several white
men wounded in race riot al
Slocum, Ande ~son county, is
evidenced in meagre reports re-
ceived here today. The ad-
jutant general at Austin was no.
titled of the trouble and has
sent state rangers to the scene,
and a dispatch received this af-
ternoon states that further Sc
rious trouble will be avcrted.
The riot occurred late yester-
day when James Afford, a
white man, had an alteration
with a negro regarding a pro-
testested note. This led to a
general mix up between the
whites and the negroes in
which knives and pistols we're
freely used. When a semblance
of order was restored ten neg
roes were found dead and sew
eral more wounded. 1t is be-
Iieved others who were con-
lcealed by members of their
race have since died. Three
white men, whose names have
not been learned, were serious
1y injured.
Sheriff Black, of Anderson
county, with state rangers sent
to the scene by the adjutant
general, has the situation well
in hand and it is believed no
further violence will be resort
ed to. Many negroes are be-
ing arrested.

CRIPPEN
AND MISS
LENEVE
ARE NOW
IN CUSTODY
WILL NOT RESIST RETURN
Crippen Held For Trial August 8.
Miss Lenene Physically Unable
to Appear In Court.

Quebec, Aug. DIR. Crippen was
arraigned today and held for further
hearing on August s.
Miss Leneve was too i'll TO appear in
court.
1t seemed today as though half the
city's population had deserted theiI
usual pursuits and climbed the heights
to the Palais DE Justice in anticipation
of the arraignment of DR.. Hawley III.
Crippin and Ethel Glare Leneve, who
after fight across the Atlantic, were
arrested under such dramatic circum-
stances yesterday. .ss-
Everywhere bitterness toward Grip
pin was exhibited, but the attitude to-
ward the woman in the case was
strangely different. Everywhere one
heard words of sympathy for the child
ish creature who had pinned her faith
to the man now charged with a crime
so shocking as to seem almost unbe-
lievable.
Reports from the provincial Jail
where Crippen and Miss Leneye have
been confined since their arrival here
aided to the popular feeling. Miss Le-
neve is described as having sobbed and
as she tossed on her cot during
the early hours today.
When she arose this morning she
was handed cablegram which read:
"Tell all you know"
Those who saw this message say that
it was signed "Papa."
1t is known that Miss Leneve's faith
er in London has stoutly maintained
that his daughter was innocent of any
Knowledge of the crime and that she
believed herself to be the. lawful wife
of Crippen, supposing that his first
wife had met natural death after de-
serJing the doctor.
When the case was called DIR. Crippen
that he would not resist his
return to England to stand trial.
The authorities are confident that
the woman will give no more trouble
than Crippen has thus far, and as soon
as the fifteen days of grace provided by
the eXtradltion laws of Canada have
expired, both prisoners can be returned
to London without any hitch.
In the meantime it is supposed that
they will be permitted to have counsel.
Miss Leneve was transferred this af-
ternoon from the provincial to the hos
pital. The girl has scarcely been able
to stand since her collapse of yesterday
when she was taken into custody. Her
has excited much sympathy
and the Jail keepers today suggested to
the court that she be sent to hospital
where she could receive medical atten-
Jon, in which she is plainly in need.
