Miss Leneue to Become Principal
Witness Against Crippen When He
is Arraigned For Trial in London
Girl is Guest at Home Of the
Chief Police and is Treated
With Great Kindness....No
One Sees Wife Murderer.

Quebec, Aug. 2.-That Ethel Claire
Leneve will be the chief witness for
the crown against Dr. Crippen is the
conviction of those watching the Tat
est developments in the case. The
police today are using every method
to have the girl break down and tell
her story. Third degree methods are
tabooed, and kindness Is being en-
ployed by the police, who, while they
do not believe Miss Leneve had an
actual hand in the murder, If she
knows its details. Miss Leneve Is
retained as guest at the home OF
Chief Mccarthy and is practically free
from surveillance. Considerate treat
ment has made a deep impression on
her and 1t would not be surprising to
see her take the stand against Grip
pen both at the London inquest and
the trial. Crippen is in his cell and
no one is allowed to see him.

Bridge Matter.
CLAIMss FOR MONTH ALLOWED

Fiscal court met in regular
monthly session today at the court
house. Several interesting topics
we're taken up for discussion. The
question OF installing electrical lights
and power i'm the almshouse proved
the most interesting topic, and was
freely discussed. The usual bills
and routine business was transacted.
The county sanitarium was one of
the county institutions discussed
most thoroughly, and for the first
month the magistrates were well
pleased with the resdlt of the new
management. After auditing the
bills. they ascertained that 1t cost
the county s6.s2 for each inmate
for the month of July, whereas the
cost for each inmate under the con-
tract plan averaged about s12 a
month. NJ. T. Cartee, keeper of the
sanitarium, did not have his report
complete this morning and the exact
cost of the sanitarium was not
known. However. 1t is expected that
the cost will be reduced at least one
half.
The lighting of the almshouse
with electricity and the running of
the water pump with electrical
power formed the subject for an in
teresting discussion this morning
and it was continued until this
afternoon. Magistrate Kuykendall
made the report of the committee
and recommended that the gasoline
engine be discontinued. and that an
electric motor be installed to fur
nish power to operate. the pump.
The committee also recommended
that electric lights be Installed in
the almshouse. The building is
wired for the use OF electricity, but
the wires will have to be extended
from the summer residence of Mayor
Smith. about one-fourth of a mile.
This afternoon the fiscal court
voted to accept the proposition OF
the Light and Power company for
the sanitarium.
MIR. II. b. Sewall, manager of the
Paducah Light and Power company.
was present and explained to the
magistrates the change. He said
that the company would extend the
wires at cost. which he guaranteed
would not be over $500, If the coun-

Crippen Arraigned.

Quebec Aug. DIR. Hawley II.
Crippen was arraigned and held for
further hearing on August s. Miss
Leneve was too Ill to appear In court.
Reports from the provincial jail,
where Crippen and Miss Leneve have
been confined since their arrival here
added to the popular feeling. Miss
Deneve is described as having sob
bed and moaned as she tossed on her
cot during the early hours today.
When she arose this morning she
was handed a cablegram which read:
''Tell all you know"
Those who saw this message say
that it was signed Papa"
IL Is known that Miss Leneve's
father in London has stoutly main
tanned that his daughter was inno-
cent of any knowledge Of the crime
and that she believed herself TO be
the lawful wife of Crippen. suppos
Ing that his first wife had met q
natural death after deserving the
doctor.
when the case was called DR.. Grip
pen announced that he would not re-
sist his return to England to stand
trial.
The authorities are confident that
the woman will give no more trou-
Bile than Crippen has thus far. and
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.
Girl Goes to Hospital.
In the meantime ii is supposed
that they will be permitted to have
counsel.
Miss Leneve was transferred this
afternoon from the provincial jail to
hospital. The girl has scarcely
been able to stand since her collapse
Of yesterday when she was taken In
to custody. Her condition has ex-
cited much sympathy and the jail
keepers today 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
wen' farther in making known its
Intention to send an official 10 the
hospital to take her answers to the
same formal questions that were ask
ed of Crippen in open court. This
will spare the woman the shock OF
appearing in court. and under the
circumstances 1t is deemed advisable
not to aggravate the strain under
which she is already suffering. The
girls family in London appeared TO
be doing all in their power to aid
her and at the same time promote
the cause of justice.

July Makes Record With
Thirty Million Balance
in Treasury.
Receipts Exceed July. 1909
by Five Millions
CORPORATION TAX INCOME

Washington, Aug. "A grand
total in the treasury OF $1,733.0 57,-
sos. total balance OF the general
fund Of s92.356, 224, working bal
ance in the treasury of $40, 502 1874,
and decrease Of s603,136 in the
public debt during July is the way
the monthly treasury statements
show the situation today.
The total ordinary receipts for July
were SIS. ,s53, and the disburse-
ments s6s.411, 700. exclusive of dis
bursements of $4,441,55s for the
Panama canal and of $1,726,ss2 on
account of the public debt and of dis
bursements OF 1890 1O on this ac-
count. The excess of all disburse-
ments over all receipts Is $14,53S,-
451, an excess of s1S,637,874 In all
disbursements over all receipts In
July, 1909.
The total ordinary receipts, which
means those outside of the canal and
the public debt were approximately
IS 900 900 greater than in July of
last year. while the ordinary disburse
merts were approximately $1,10O,-
900 more than the same comparative
date.
Corporation Tax Receipts.
The latter increase Is partially ac-
counted for by the s1,3O0,pO0 more
paid on the census the past month
than in the previous July. The cor
poration tax, aggregating s6,117,25s
this month. helped to account for the
Increased receipts.
The customs receipts OF s25y051,-
Sill mark a falling on of virtually
s3,60O.000 from July of last year,
attributable in part at least to the
rush of importations just prior to the
passage of the tariff bill last summer
The internal revenue. outside of the
corporation tax. amounted this
month to s23,464.469. which is ap-
proximately s256.0O0 more than dur
ing the previous July The mlscel-
laneous receipts also showed a slight
increase.
The disbursements run about even
between the two dates, except that
the civil and miscellaneous payments
which includes the large census outgo
overran the same account for July,
1909, by more than $4,000 900.
