(By Leased Wire to The Times) ' Quebec, Aug. 1. Calmly defiant . and protesting ' his Innocence Dr. Hawley Harvey Crlppen was arraign ed in the little court room of Justice Punet Angers this morning for the murder of his wife. . At the same time Ethel Clare LeNeve was charged with being an accessory. - ,, ' The name of Belle Elmore, the victim of the London ; niurder with ; which the two are charged, was not mentioned. The warrant against ... Crlpnen' simply refers to the victim ' who was found mutilated In the cel lar of his home at 39 HUldrop Cres cent, London, as "an unknown wo man." . ' ." .. The couple were remanded under , the law pertaining to fugitives rub- pected of a felony. ' Their deporta tion will be ordered at once unless a stay of fifteen days is demanded' by -the defendants. A long delay was caused In court by a conferenc4 between Pew and other . officials as to the plan of Action to be taken. ; The arraignment was the climax of the dramatic chase and capture of the couple, in which a wireless net was woven across the Atlantic. The scene in the court room lacked the melodramatic features which marked Inspector Dew's - race - across the ocean and the springing of the trap when the Montrose,' bearing Crlppen, reached Father Point, but for sheer drama of emotion It surpassed the previous stages of the case. The little American physician had Trained his composure to a large extent between the time of his land ing at 1:85 a.Vm. and the arraign ment, but Ethel LeNeve appeared on the verge of Collapse. She wasglven assistance as she entered the court room officers supporting her on each side. As the details of her arraign ment under- the fugitive offenders' act was made known , to her through 'the court's routine , she was near fainting several ' times. From the time they were bundled ashore and whisked from the water front In c?bs to the underground cells that had. been arranged for them in the parliament house prison there was little rest for the prisoners. Crlppen spent1 much of., the" rem natiA of the night reading; the girl sobbed herself " into a dose from ' which at times she awoke with a shriek. i ,: ' " - ' ' The authorities gave little atten ' tlon to Crlppen save for keeping him under heavy guard, but every effort DANIEL AS SENATOR (By Leased Wire to The Times) " Richmond,-Va., Aug. 1.

A paryxism of tears followed. .) ; . Crlppen's first demand on arising was for the morning papers.; This was refused him; the policy of the police Is to keep him in absolute Ig norance of the case against htm. He took the refusal ; philosophically, mumbling some remark about not having seen a newspaper since he left the other side. " -; At breakfast he was disconcerted to see that only a spoon was allowed him. When his tray was taken Into the cell he looked around it with a suggestion of annoyance, hunting for a knife and fork. When he realized after a moment that these were de nied him he smiled faintly and fell to with the spoon. This same faint smile, which might mean many things, came again later when he was told that Llewellyn JoneB, the young wireless operator of the Montrose, claimed a world record in having transmitted or received in all 7,500 words relating to Crlppen In the two days before the arrest was made. 'Though tie made no comment Crlppen's expression clearly said, "And I never had an inkling." The arrival of the conple was ajf most as dramatic, : as -their arrest Taken from the Montrose at the dead of night they were whirled through quiet streets under heavy guard and smuggled into the jail, every effort being made to keep the knowledge of their movement from the other pas sengers on the steamer and from the city. . : ' - In the blinking light of arc lamps Miss LeNeve appeared deathly ill as she was half carried sdown the gang plank from the Montrose. "Where is he?" she whispered to her guards.' : : '"'-': In the clear marked shadows of the wharf-shed she finally discerned Crlppen, huddled in his overcoat, by the lamps of a cab.
