Dew Testifes

Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who arrested Crippen and Miss Leneve, and the other witnesses for the crown were taken rapidly through the evidence which they had given in the lower courts.
 No new testimony was brought out and the prosecution closed it's case before lunch.
 Miss Leneve was born at Diss, Norfolk. on January p, 1883, the daughter of Wal ter Leneve, a railway agent. There was nothing unusual about her early life, which appears to have been happy though commonplace. She learned stenography and secured employment at the Drouet institution, where she met Dr. Crippen, who was connected with the institute in a consulting capacity. Later the insti- tute was closed. and Dr. Crippen set up for himself in the dental business and took Miss Levene with him as a stem ographer and private secretary.
 She fell in love with her employer and after the death of Mrs. Crippen went to live with the doctor and later told her friends that they were married She has maintained that she knew nothing about the crime, but when suspicion was di rected against the doctor she fled with him to Canada disguised as boy

composed the majority of the spectators. In reply to the formal charge of being an accessory after the fact to the murder of Belle Elmore, the girl pleaded mot guilty in a voice that was scarcely aud ible.
 Lord Chief Justice Alverstone thereupon called Richard D. Muir. the crown pros ecutor. who outlined the case against the accused. It was clear, MT. Muir said, that the intrigue between Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve constituted the motive for the murder of Crippen's wife. He dwelt upon the evidence given by Mrs. Jackson, Miss Leneve's landlady, at the preliminary hearing, and which will be introduced at the trial. The illness of accused on the night of the interview with Mrs. Jackson was not, the prose cutor said, an ordinary Illness, but 8 condition of horror, the explanation after which was the knowledge that had come to her that Crippen had murdered his wife.

Petersburg, Va, December 8.
The ruins of this mornings fire pre-
sent a deplorable scene on Sycamore
Street, where but yesterday stood the
finest block of business houses In the
city. These houses were in the very
centre of the dry goods shopping dis
trict, and practically only one dry
goods store In the lower section of the
city Is left to meet the demands of
trade. Here. too, were large clothing
houses, shoe houses. banking houses,
and on the upper floors of these were
the offices OF many lawyers and bus
mess firms which the fire spared not
and whose losses in the aggregate are
large.
The total losses by the fire will not
fall short of $500,000; they may reach
nearly 100000 Untold Inconvenience,
Independent Of losses, has been caused
a hundred or more people, Including
many women, have been thrown out or
employment; the business OF many
firms has been stopped for time, and

Petersburg Is grateful to Richmond
for the assistance rendered in time of
calamity.

CHOLERA IN ITALY
IS NOW DECREASING
Satisfactory Precautions to
Prevent Emigration of
Infected Persons.

Cholera is, on the decrease in Italy, ac-
cording to report made by Surgeon
H. g. Geddings to the marine hospital
service. The government there has
taken precautions for observation of emf
grants to this country that are salts
factory to the health authorities of the
United States.
The outbreak in Italy was sharp and
unexpected. There has been cholera in
the Black sea provinces of Russia. and
the. Italian authorities were on the look
out Tor it.
Apparently satisfactory precautions had
been taken when party of Russian gyp-
sizes arrived at Brindisi from Batum. 1t
is not certain that any of them were
sick on arriving in Italy.
But they brought the infection with
them. They spread it by washing
clothes in vessels used to draw drink
ink water from well there.
The spread of the disease was sharp
and terrifying to the natives. There
death rate was high. 1t ran from two
cases and two deaths in Bisceglie to
fifty cases and >.thirty-three deaths in
TRAM.
! then there has been a decline. But the
disease IS. still general enough to cause
local alarm.
The Italian authorities have arranged
that, pending effective arrangements for
handling emigration from Naples, whence
the steerage passengers come to the
United States. all travel for emigration
purposes from the infected provinces to
Naples shall be prohibited.
Supervision over the departing emil
grants will be established at, Naples on
a quarantine steamer that will be an
chored off the end of the mole.
| This ship will be fitted with naval sur
geons and nurses, and with bathing and
fumigating arrangements, Prospective
emfgrants for the United States will be
| held there under observation FIVE days
: If there should be a case of cholera
among them the whole shipload will be
sent to the quarantine island. A new
detention ship will replace the old one
| till she can be thoroughly c1eansed and
fumigated.
Access to the receiving ship and to
| the shore disinfecting stations is given
to the surgeons Of the marine hospital
service at all times. The details of the
quarantine and inspection arrangements
are such as meet with the approval of
the American authorities.

Cab, Is Found Apparent
Iy Demented.

NEW YORK, September 22.-As a fast
freight train on the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey. from Philadelphia to Jersey
City. dashed through Bayonne at forty
miles an hour early yesterday morning
the engine driver, Samuel Oils, leaned
out OF his cab to scan the track ahead
AS he did SO his head struck a signal
post at 49th street with all the force. of
the trains great speed and he was hurled
out of his cab.
Traffic is light on the road in the early
hours Of the morning. and this train had
right OF way. consequently the fireman
paid no attention to the way the engine
flashed past the stations unchecked until
they were we'll into Jersey City.
Did Not Slow Down.
At Claremont station, where the trains
generally begin to slow down for the
terminal. the speed was higher. than
ever, and, alarmed, the fireman -crawled
around to the drivers seat, only to find 1t
vacant Quickly bringing the train to a
stop, he notified the other trainmen. AMI
the engine was backed up to Bayonne.
At 49th street, between the tracks and
the Norris canal, Oils cap was found
lying on the ground, and in the belief
tndt ne HdO Deen thrown into the canal 1t
was dragged in all directions for more
than seven hours, with no result. Oils
relatives in BOyerstown, Pa, were mott
fed of his supposed death and prepared
to come on and assist in the search.
Found Apparently Demented.
About II o'clock in the morning Police
man Downes of the Jersey City force
found an apparently demented man. hat
less and coatless. wandering on Winfield
and Garfield streets. that city. His head
was battered. his face stained and muddy,
and he could give no coherent account of
himself. Policeman Downes took him to
the Ocean avenue station and he was
later removed to the Jersey City Hos
pital, where the conductor and fireman
Of the train identified him as Oils.
1t is thought that after being knocked
from the cab he lay unconscious beside
the railway for several hours, then in q
daze wandered along the canal into Jer-
sey City.
Physicians at the hospital examined
Oils and said he is suffering from severe
conclusion of the brain. His recovery is
doubtful.
