N ..der Charge Against Both
DR. cRiPpEN AND MISS LENEVE
 IN LONDON POLICE COURT.

 criPped Ready to Jump Overheard.
 In the course of the proceedings Inspector Dew, who brought the pris- oners back from Canada. introduced evidence to show that Crippen contem- plated suicide when at sea. after his flight from this country. Crippen was quoted also as>declaring that his com panion knew nothing of the trouble in which he was involved and Miss Ice neve was said to have protested her innocence.
 Remanded Until September 6.
 The character of the formal charge had special interest. as the warrant for the arrest of the fugitives had merely laid at their door responsibility for the death of unknown woman. whose body was found in the cellar of the Crippen home at Hilldrop Crea- cent. That both should have been ac- cused today of the murder of Belle Fillmore leads to the supposition that the body has been identified to the satisfaction of the authorities It all so suggests that the police believe they have further evidence concerning Miss LeneVes connection with the murder than they have made known heretofore. Today's proceedings con- sisted of the introduction of evidence against the accused. At its conclusion they were remanded until September 6, without having pleaded or made any comment in reply to the charge against against them.
