trial at the expiration of the 154 days
grace provided by the extradition laws
of Canada. In the meantime the de-
tectives would likeyto- gather from the
accused additional evidence that would
facilitate tie subSequeLs procedure.
Unless present signs fail, sthey will re-
ceive no help in this line from DR..
Crippen.
"Crippen is no fool" said Inspector
Dew and no one questioned his
opinion.
Accordingly, it is generally believed
that the police are resting their hopes
on. Miss Leneve. If she does not pos
sess the key to the mystery, they think
she can at least aid them materially in
a reconstruction of the circumstances
leading up to the disappearance of
Belle Gilmore. 1t is known that Mrs.
Crippen was jealous of her husbands
typist and the police have no doubt
that Miss Leneve was aware of this
jealousy. They will not use any third
degree" methods in interviewing Miss
Leneve, but more subtle influences al
ready are at work.
Treated With kindness.
The girl prisoner is being treated
with the greatest consideration. She
showed the effect of this today, ap-
pearing to be much better in body and
in mind than on yesterday when, fol-
lowing the collapse after her arrest.
she was considered too i'll to appear in
court Miss Leneve has never been
placed in a cell here She has been
kept in the room of one of the women
employees of the provincial Jail and has
been allowed occasional outdoor exer-
else. The attitude toward her of the
police is sympathetic.
Inspector Dew has repeatedly said
that he believed the girl was innocent
of any knowledge of wrong doing. She
has been visited by other women who
have treated her most kindly. At the
same time Miss Leneve is being bonn
barded with cablegrams from mem
bers of her family in London, urging
her to tell all she knows. The pres
sure of friendliness is being exerted on
her, while there is no prospect that
she will come in contact with DIR.
Crippen or even see him for a long
time. The purpose in all this is obvi-
Gus when it is considered that so far
as is generally known Scotland Yard
has been unable to identify the dis
membered body found in the cellar of
the Crippen home in London. The
police case is believed not to be com
plete.
Both Slept Well.
DR.. Crippen and Miss Leneve slept
last night, the sleep of complete ex-
haustion following the ordeal of the
preceding hours. Crippen and the girl
now face two weeks or more OF
monotonous waiting. There will. be nc
more legal proceedings in the case
until August 8, when they will have
another purely formal appearance In
court to give them last opportunity
of demanding a writ of habeas corpus
or any other legal relief to which they
may feel entitled.
Unless they change their expressed
intention neither will apply for writs
or interfere in any way with the meth
DDS adopted by the police to get them
back to England.
So far as the province of Quebec is
concerned legal proceedings are prac-
ficalIy closed. The official documents
regarding the arrest of the couple anc
their Interrogation by Judges LANCE

sessions were forwarded last night tc
