GIRL MAY
TELL ALL
So Far DR.. CriFpen Is
Silent and Will
Not Talk

Miss I.encVe. the TWO prisoners VINO
have focused the eyes OF the world
on this old French city on the ST
Lawrence. slept last night the sleep
of complete exhaustion following the
ordeal OF the preceding hours.
Crippen and the girl now face two
weeks or moro of monotonOus walt
ing, There viii be no more legal pro-
ceedngs in the case until August Sth.
when they Will have another purely
formal appearance in court To give
them a last opportunity of demanding
a writ Of habcas corpus or any other
legal relief TO which they may feel
entitled,
Unless they change their express
ed Intention. neither Will apply for
wr,ts or interfere in any way with
the methods adopted by the police to
get them back to England
So far as the Province of Quebec
Is concerned. legal proceedings are
practically closed The official docu-
ments regarding the arrest of the
couple and their interrogation by
Judges Langller and Anglers OF the
court OF special sessions were for
warded last night TO Ottawa for the
signature Of the encouragement.
The color is beginning 10 return TO
Miss Leneye'S cheeks and this morn
ing the matron at the Jail hospital said
she looked a trifle less forlorn than
when she was taken there yesterday
afternoon from the house of Chief of
Detectives Mccarthy. Miss Leneve.
who left the MontroSe In garments
loaned TO her by the ships stewardess,
was today supplied with neat white
dress. which added 10 the improve
ment in her appearance.
Crippen is Silent,
Crippen, taciturn and seeming to
considerable extent TO have recover
ed mis- composure, has volunteered
nothing since his arralgnmept yes
terday which might help the police in
solving the mystery surrounding the
disappearance OF his wife.
The detectives would like TO gather
from the accused some unusual eyi-
dence but unless some present signs
fail. they Will receive no help in this
line from DR.. Crippen.
"Crippen is no fool said Inspector
Dew. and no one questions his opn-
-TUn.
Accordingly II is generally beliey-
ed that the police are resting their
hopes on Miss leneve. If she does
not possess the key 10 the mystery.
they think she can at least aid them
aterally in a reconstruction Of the
circumstances leading UP TO the dis
appearance OF Belle Elmore. II is
known that Mrs. Crippen was jeal
Gus OF her husbands typist and the
police have no doubt that Miss Le-
neve was aware OF this jealousy.
No Third Degree.
They viii not use any third de
gree" methods in interviewing Miss
Ieneve. but more subtle Influence al
ready Is at work. The girl prisoner
Is being treated with the greatest
consideration. She showed the ef-
feet OF this today, appearing TO be
much better in body and in mind
than on yesterday when, following
tho collapse after her arrest, she WAS
considered too Ill TO appear in court
Miss Leneve has never been placed
In cell here. She has been kept
la the room of one of the women en-
ployes of the provincial jail and has
been allowed occasional outdoor eX
ercise. Inspector Dew has repeatedly
said that he believed the girl was In
nocent Of any knowledge OF wrong
doing. She has been visited by wom-
en- who have treated her most Kind
ly.
At the same time. Miss Leneye is
being bombarded with cablegrams
from members OF her family in Lon
don urging her to tell all she knows.
The pressure OF friendlineSs is being
exerted on her. while there Is no
prospect that she will come In contact
with Dr. Crippen or even see him for
q long time.
The purpose in all this is obvious
when II is considered that, so far as
Is generally known, Scotland Yard has
been unable to identify the dismem-
bered body found in the cellar of the
CTippen home In London. The police
case is believed not to be complete.
Even the Unconditional Dew. the
typical English detective. has been
affected by Miss Leneves plight,
Il am sorry for her he said to-
DAY "I don't believe she knew any
thing about the crime.
While the Canadian and English
laws strictly prohibit any attempt To
obtain n confession, especially the
'llrd degree. It is said the girl has
expressed desire TO make reyela
lions. The police say they will ac-
copt her statement after she had
been warned that anything she said
might be used against her at her
iial
Thus far in moments Of her OK

ice assert. Crippen's companion has
emained loyal TO him so far as her
