INJURED BETWEEN CARS
Scalp Of Furniture Clerk is
Torn of in Accident Re
moved to Hospital.
Daily Press Bureau.
Hampton Va. aug. l.

Harry c. Humphreys, a clerk in the
furniture store OF Newell x Com
lany, narrowly escaped being mash
ed to death and received painful. =
not fatal. injuries by being caught
between two trolley ears IN East
Queen street tonight at sis
o'clock. jus; how Mr.. Humphreys es'
Capcd instant death is a mystery to
the several hundred people who saw
the accident. but his escape is prob
ably due to the fact that the two cars
were running at slow rate OF speed,
as one was approaching and the other
was just leaving the corner of King
end Queen streets.
Mr. Humphreys attempted to board
car No. AZ. in charge OF Conductor
Watson, for the purpose Of going TO
Buckroe Beach. and as the car had
already left the corner. Mr.. Humph-
reys jumped upon the inside running
hoard OF the trailer. He probably
failed TO notice the close approach of
the Old Point carr in charge of Con
Guctor Porter. and before the young
man knew il he was struck on the
head and knockedDinto the street.
At the hosital the physicians found
that Mr.. Humphreys had been partial
" scalped by the accident. and that
the cash in his head was nearly eight
inches. extending from the base of
the nose to the back of the head. The
scalp for this distance was almost
torn loose from the skull and the
cut is said to have been one of the
most danpprous character The Dhy-
stefan spent two hours in replacing
the torn scalp. Mr.. Humphreys also
suffered what the physicians term a
green stick arm"-that is the arm
was severely bent. causing even more
pain than an actual break.
When the physicians completed thf
operation Dr. Howe said that while
the injuries to Mr.. Humphreys were
OF the most serious nature that unless
conclusion of the brain or some other
complications arise that the young
man has a good chance for recovery.

The judge asked the prisoner if he
was Hawley II. Crippen.

ing Inspector Dew.
Crippen nodded his head.
Are you ready 20 go back with him

Yes"
DO you intend to fight extradition?'
NO"
AS he answered the questions Grip
pen scarcely raised his head. TO
further interrogatiyes he said he was
a citizen OF the United Ststes, born in
Michigan. When the judge asked;
is the girl arrested with you. Miss
Ethel Clara Leneve?" the doctor re-
piled Yes
His response was in the most color
less tone.
PitiabIe Condition Of Girl.
Although Crippen was the center Of
attention when arraigned, perhaps NE
most interesting development of the
day was the extremely liberal treat
ment of Miss Leneve by the police.
Like Crippen, she is accused of muir
der. but the girl was seen today en-
joying the freedom Of the house o;
Chief OF Police Ackertsky. When taken
from Jail today it was announced that
she had, because of her weak condl-
ton, been transferred TO a hospital,
but this proved to be incorrect. she
is back in Jail tonight under the
care of a physician.
Many persons believe the police are
so markedly lenient with Miss Leneve,
not only because they pity her plight
but also they believe she is Crippen y
dupe and that she may turn against
him on the stand. This is the course
