Not Oppose Extradition.

Quebec, August 1.-ProoaolE no!
before August Is will DR.. Hawley H.
Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve be
taken aboard Transatlantic liner
bound for England, there to stand trial
Jointly accused Of numbering woman
believed to have been Belle Elmore,
the Doctors American wife. The GRIM
inal law of the British possessions es-
tablished this today, When>-the hag-
gard dentist, whose fight ended so
dramatically aboard the Nontrose yes
terday morning, was arraigned before
MAGISTRATE and remanded until Au-
gust s. The girl was too i'll to appear.
Crippen will not fight extradition.
He is exhausted and has sunk into the
Cuicksands Of the law without strug-
gle. Of the girls attitude less is
known. She is still broken in body
and spirit, alternately shaken with
sobs or silently morose. Her relatives
in London are beeseeching her by
cable to tell all, and the Quebec police
are treating her with a gentleness
rarely accorded a prisoner, even
though a woman.
Perfunctory Act.
Forced through a curious crowd,
Crippen was taken today before the
provincial court Of special sessions,
where he was formally questioned as
to his identity and notified that he
was under arrest for the murder of
an unknown woman Remanding him
until August was purely perfume
tory, as he and his companion under
the Fugitive Offenders act must re-
main here at least - days. On the
Sthe. he likely will be remanded again
until the 18th, the first available ves-
sci for England will not depart until
three days later.
By that time another detective from
Scotland Yard, Sergt. Mitchell, will
have arrived, bringing formal appE-
cation for extradition. Sergt. Mitchell
will aid in taking the prisoners back
for trial
It was a broken man that stood to-
day before Judge Anglers in the pro-
vincial court of special sessions. In
a voice so weak that it scarcely
reached the bench he answered the
formal questions put to him. The pro-
ceedings were brief.
Ready to Return.
Whet. brought to the bar. Crippen
was heavily manacled, the steel brace
lets weighing down his thin wrist. 1t
was apparent he had passed a bad
night
The judge asked the prisoner if he
was Hawley H. Crippen.
81 am said Crippen.
"Do you know this man." indicating
inspector De-. Crippen nodded.
Are you ready to go back with him
or any other qualified offcer?"
Eyes"
DO you intend to fight extradition?' %
NO"
As he answered the questions, Grip
pen scarcely raised his head. TO fur
ther questions he said he was citiz-
en- of the United States, born in Michi-
gan.
When the Judge asked:
"Is the girl arrested with you Miss
Ethel Clare Leneve?''
The doctor replied "yes"
His response was in the most color
less tone.
The most interesting development
of the day was the extremely liberal
treatment of Miss Leneve. Like Grip
pen, she is accused of murder but the
girl was seen today enjoying the free
dom of the house of Chief of Police
Mccarthy When taken from Jail to-
day, it was announced that she had,
because of her weak condition, been
transferred to hospital, but this
proved incorrect.
Girl Back in Jail.
She is back in jail tonight under the
care Of a physician, but visitors to the
chiefs house say they had glimpse
OF her walking about in the yard for
a breath Of air, under careful but un-
cbstrusive surveillance.
Many believe the police are 50
markedly lenient with Miss Leneve
because they believe she is Crippen's
dupe and that she may turn against
him on the witness stand.
