GIRL SENT TO HOSPITAL

Quebec, Canada. Aug. pr. Haw.
ley IT, Crippen. who. with Ethel Clara
Icneve. was arrested on the steamer
Montrose, announced that he would
not resist extradition to England to
stand trial for the murder OF woman
believed to be the missing wife,
Belle Moore.
Crippen was remanded for fifteen
days. AT the expiration Of that time
he will be sent back 10 England. un'
less in the meantime he decides to
fight extradition.
Crippen's companion in flight was
to have been aTraigned. but her Gus
todians reported TO the court that she
was too III TO appear
The authorities are confident that
the woman will give no more trouble
than Crippen promises TO- and that
as soon as the fifteen days Of grace
provided by the extradition laws Of
Canada have expired both prisoners
can be returned to London without
any hitch.
When Crippen and the girl were
arrested on board the incoming
steamer Montrose they were charged
with an identical crime. the murder
and mutilation Of an unknown wom-
an. II had been expected that both
would be arraigned at once. and de-
ported upon the steamer Royal George,
that will sail for England Thursday.
However, Dew. the Scotland Yard
inspector, received instructions which
changed the program.
The English officials do not wish
anything done that would give the
appearance of "railroadine the pris-
oners They wish the formaities Of
extradItion followed TO the letter, so
that the prisoners shall not escape
through any technicalities Of the
law.
Clara Leneve was transferred from
the Provincial Jail to a hospital The
girl scarcely has been able to stand
since her collapse. when she was taken
into custody. Her condition has eX-
cited much sympathy. and the jail
keepers suggested to the court that
she be sent to a hospital. where she
could receive medical attention. OF
which she is plainly in need.
The court granted the request. and
went further in making known its
intention to send an official to the
hospital to take her answers to the
same formal question that were asked
of Crippen in open court This will
spare the woman the shock Of ap-
pearlng in court, and under the cir
cumstances it is deemed advisable
not to aggravate the strain under
which she Is already suffering.
The girls family in London ap-
pears to be doing all In their power
to aid her and at the same time to
promote the cause OF justice. During
the day she received three cablegram-
from her relatives. One Of these mes
sages urged her to tell everything
and another besought her to remember
her own family, not matter how great
might be her love for Crippen.
1t was a broken man that stood be-
fore Judge Anglers in the Provincial
court OF special sessions. In a voice
so weak that 1t scarcely reached the
bench he answered the formal ques'
tons put to him. The proceedings
we're brief, and at their end the pris-
oner was remanded for fifteen days.
Crippen declared, however, that he
would not interpose objection to his
extradition.
Immense crowds gathered to see
the prisoners when they landed from
the Montrose and again when Grip
pen was arraigned in court.
