Will Not Resist Extrndition.
Quebec, Aug. 1.-Dr. Crippen was
! arraigned to-day and held for fur
thcr hearing on August g. Miss Le-
| neVe was too i'll to appear In court.
1T seemed to-day as though half
the city's population had deserted
their usual pursuits and climbed the
heights to the Plais de Justice In
anticipation OF the arraignment Of
Dr. Crippen and Ethel Glare Leneve,
who were arrested under such dra-
matte circumstances Yesterday
Everywhere bitterness towards
Crippen was exhibited, but the atti-
tude toward the woman n the case
was strangely different, ana words
OF sympathy were heard for the girl
ish creature who had pinned her
faith TO the man now charged with
crime so shocking as to seem al
most unbelievable.
When Miss Leneve arose this
morning she was handed a cable
gram which read: "rcll all you
know
Those who saw this message say
that it was signed Papa" 1t is
known that Miss Leneve's father Iii

his daughter was innocent OF" any
knowledge of the crime, and that
she believed herself to be the lawful
wife OF Crippen, supposing that his
first wife had met a natural death af-

The authorities are confident that
the woman will give no more trouble
than CripDen has thus far, and as
soon as the IS days OF grace pro-
vided by the extraditiOn laws OF
Canada have expired, both prisoners
can be returned to London without
any hitch.

Miss Lcneve was transferred this

court that she be sent to n hospital
where she could receive medical at
