Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-08-02

Today both prisoners appeared refreshed
for theirs was the common experience Of
hunted ones. The agony OF suspense over,
they had fallen into the deep sleeps that
betokens physical exhaustion.
AS soon as the arrests we're made the
local court authorities were notified and
Judge Panel Anglers arranged to hold court
at 1899 o'clock this morning. The accused
were held under the law pertaining to
fugitlves who are suspected of connection
with crime and the court proceedings were
arranged to be conducted expediously.
They hoped that Crippen and his typist
can be sent back to London on the steamer
Royal George, which will sail on Thurs
day. However. under the fugitive offending
act the prisoners have right to remain
fifteen days before theft departure. This
period affords them opportunity to seek
release through habeas corpus proceedings
Crlppen also may exercise his right as an
American citizen to appeal to the American
consul here and so make sure his rights
are not infringed. 1t IL doubtful II Grip
pen avails himself OF either chance for
delay.
ThrOnRs Gather AbOut Jail.
Early today throngs gathered outside the
Jail in anticipation of the appearance OF
the prisoners In court.
Next to the accused the object of the
greatest public attention Is Inspector Dew.
The latter wore an afr this morning not
noticeable before. The successful conclusion
Of his mission has put new light in his
face. et, a..,.
Nevertheless the scotlaad. yard man
knows that great responsibility still rests
on him. His prisoners have been caught,
but they are yet to be safely guarded to
London. 1t Is generally believed that Dew
has failed to secure, the hoped for con-
fession. While his immediate duty was to
get his man, to have obtained a confession
would have been feather in the cap of
any detective.
just how much Crippen knows of the
case against him is in doubt. Whether he
has learned that the British authorities
have been unable to identify the dismem-
bered body found in the cellar of his Hill
droop Crescent home as that Of his actress
wife Is not known Without such identifI-
cation, lawyers say, conviction may be

One circumstance only might give rise to
\ belief that the fugitive realized the sus-

they believed. . taG

From this incident It is supposed that

There are many today who believe Grip

been planned. II is certain that his re-
