DR. CRIPPEN'S LAWYER
 NOT AT ALL DISCOURAGED.
Says There is No Evidence That Mur-
 der Has Been Done.

London. Aug. 3.-Arthur Newton, the solicitor who will take charge of Grip pens defense. said in an interview to- day:
 already available that the case against Dr. Crippen is not one to discourage me in the smallest degree. So far as I can see there is no kind of evidence that murder has actually been com mitted.
 T am in telegraph communication with Crippen and the statement that he has confessed is quite unfounded. I am applying to the authorities for copies of the dispositions of witnesses and all other available documents There is a great deal to be done but it will not be necessary for me to go to Canada. though I may meet Grip pen at the British port of landing"

MISS LENEvE CABLES
 HER SISTER IN LONDON
"i Had Heard or Seen Nothing Until
 the Cruel Blow Fell"

London, Aug. 3-'I had seen or heard nothing until the cruel blow fell. Am returning home"
 This message from Ethel Clare Le- neve was received by her sister in London tonight. It brought great re- lief to the relatives of the woman who is to be charged jointly with Dr. Grip pen with murder. The mother and sis ter have sent numerous cablegrams to Ethel expressing their confidence in her innocence and urging her to tell all to the police. A search of the registry offices has failed to reveal any evi- dence that Ethel Lenave was married to Crippen, and thus far such mar rfage has not been reported at Somer- set house, which the clergy officials would be required to do within month after the ceremony.
 Inspector Dew testified at the inquest that Ethel Leneve did not claim to be but said that she was Grip pens housekeeper She told her par ents, however, that she was married, but made excuses when they asked her to show her marriage certifcate.
 The Scotland Yard officials reiterate their denial of the report that Inspec- tor Dew has received from London a cablegram stating that the mutilated body found in the cellar of Crippen's house has been identified.

Madred. Aug. 2.-The agitation among the Roman Catholic population in northern Spain. who are in great part siding with the vatican in the pending conflict with the Spanish gov ernment is steadily assuming larger proportions. The organizers of the proposed demonstration at San Sebas- tian against the cabinet of Premier Canalejas and its polity toward the vat ican declare that it will take place in spite of the refusal of the authorities to grant permission for it. They ex- pect 100000 church men to visit the summer capital and participate in the demonstration before the kings palace on August 7- The prohibition of the demonstration was issued, it is stated, upon the representation of tradesmen that it might easily develop into grave disorders

Quebec, Aug. 3.-Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, captor of Dr Hawley Crippen, said with positiveness and ir- ritation tonight that the prisoner had E,lmore, his wife. 'If you chaps don't stop pestering me about this confess sion business, I'll have to leave town" said the inspector.
 Heard Nothing of a Confession.
 Joseph Morin. Crippen's jafler, was equally positive that no word of con- fession had come from the dentists lips Attorney General Gouin and Judge Langelir, before whom the man and his girl companion were arraigned sail they had heard nothing of a con fession and they secuted the idea that Crippen could have made one to Dew without their knowledge.
 Prisoner Accepts Solicitors Offer.
 The foregoing details came on top of vague rumors of unknown origin that there had been confession, though Inspector Dew spent barely five minutes with Crfppen during the en- tire day. This visit he made to the dentists cell this afternoon to obtain Crfppen's answer to SolicitoT Newton's cablegram from London proffering le- gal assistance. To this Crippen re- piled, accepting, and promising to keep his mouth shut and not resist extra dition, conditions which were imposed on the solicitors cable message of last night
 Will Make No Fight Here.
 Crippen's acceptance of the offer of counsel would seem further to indi- cate that he intends to maintain his attitude of silence. And the few words that came directly from the prisoner himself indicated anything but the mood of self-confessed murderer. He told one of his keepers that he would make no fight here, but was prepared to fight when he came to trial in Lon don. An effort to learn anything about the friends that the London po- lice say are willing to pay the ex- penses of his defense was as fruitless here as it is said to have been in London

 The big grey stone jail on the confined, has become the foremost of Quebec's many points of interest.
