Scotland Yard Detective Denies the Report With Positiveness and Some Irritation. PRISONER ACCEPTS OFFER OF COUNSEL R pared to Fight When Keep His Mouth Closed and Not Re- tion—Dentist Declares that He is Pre His Case Comes Up in Lon- don—Miss Leneve Improving in Health. Quebec, Aug. Scotland Yard, captor of Dr. Hawley Crippen, said with positiveness and ir- ritation tonight that the prisoner had not confessed to the murder of Belle Elmore, his wife. “If you chaps don’t stop pestering me about this confes- sion business, I'll have to leave town,” said the inspector, Heard Nothing of a Conf Joseph Morin, Crippen’s jailer, was egually positive that no word of con- fession had come from the dentist's 1 Attorney _General Gouin and Judge Langelir, before whom the man and his girl companion were arraigned said they had heard nothing of a con- fession and they scouted the idea that Crippen could have made one to Dew without their knowledge. Prisoner Accepts Sdlicitor’s Offer. The foregoing details came on top of vague rumors of unknown origin that there had been a confession, though Inspector Dew spent barely five minutes with Crippen during the en- tire a; This visit he made to the dentist’s cell this afternoon to obtain Crippen’s answer to Solicitoy Newton's cablegram from London proffering le- zal assistance. To this Crippen re- plied, accepting, and promising to_keep his mouth shut and not resist extra- dition, conditions which were imposed on the solicitor’s cable message of last night. Will Make No Fight Here. Crippen’s acceptance of the offer of counsel would seem further to indi- cate that he intends to maintain his attitude of silence. And the few words that came directly from the prisoner himself indicated anything but the 1m00d of a self-confessed murderer. He told one of his keepers that he would make no fight here, but was prepared o fight when he came to trial in Lon- don. An_ effort to learn anything about the friends that the London po- lice say are willing to pay the ex- penses of his defense was as fruitless here as it is sald to have been in London. Tourists Throng to See the Prison. The biz grey stone jail on the Heights of Abraham, where Crippen is confined, has become the foremost of Quebec’s many points of interest. The “seeing Quebec” trolley cars stop nearby &0 that the tourists who throng the eity in summer may have a chance to gaze into the window of the corri- dor where the alleged wife slayer takes his exercise. Several persons saw him today and once he looked out the win- dow and nodded and smiled. Miss Leneve Recovering, Miss Leneve did not figure in the day’s crop of rumors. She continues to spend her time.quietly in the pris. on infirmary and is said to be improv- ing in health. TWO HAIR CURLING IRONS TO PLAY IMPORTANT PART At the Trial of Dr. Crippen don, Says Mrs. Mills. Newport. R. L. Aug. 3.—Two hair- curling irons, one of which is at pres- ent in this city, promise to play an important part in the evidence to be presented at_the murder trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen in London. This fact was made known today at the home here of Mrs. Robert Mills, hal sister of Dr. Crippen’'s wife. It was stated at Mrs. Mills’ residence that she had decided not to carry out her previous intention of going to Quebec, but that instead she would sall for England early in September, at the request of Scotland Yard offieials, taking with her one of the curling frons in_question, According to communications re- ed by Mrs. Miils, Scotland Yard jals have found a hair-curling iron a part of the dead woman’s hair in London, Irs. Mills says that when she wos in London three years ago she and Mrs. Crippen each purchased a hair-curler Hf precisely the same pat- tern. The English police officials wish Mrs. Mills to bring over her curler for purposes of comparison. BELIEVES ETHEL LENEVE IS ABSOLUTELY INNOCENT Mms. Fred Ginnett, Close Friend of the Crippens, Gives Her Opinion. Roselle, N. J., T\ug. 3.—*“The infagu- ation of Ethe] Clare Leneve and T. ©rippen had nothing fo do with the in Lon- & offic and disappearance of his wife. T am sure of that. and I was intimate in their home life. “If he killed Belle Elmore it was in a fit of ungovernable temper over some petty quarrel. Belle was never Jealous to my knowledge. Her hus- band admired her, took pains to serve her smallest wishes and was genuine- 1y fond of her. I believe Ethel Leneve came into the story later.” Hidden Tragedy Suspected. Such is the opinion of Mme. Fred Ginnett, a close friend of the Crip- pems. who has just returmed o her ome here after identifying both. Crip- pen and his companion at Quebsc. An associate with Belle Elmore in the London theatrical society of ' which they were both gfficers. Mme. Ginnett was_among the Wirst to distrust the death notice of her friend appearing in_the London papers. She suspected 2 hidden tragedy. and, although in this country, her activity in forcing her suspicions on the London palice was largely responsible for the investiga- tion set on foot by Scoltand Yard which first save Dr. Crippen alarm. Since coming to this country she has kept in_continuous touch with the lit- tle circle of intimates who were wel- come at the home in Iill Brop Cres- cent and. she speaks from, vheir knowl- edge as well as her owh Therefore her opimions command attention, though- they differ from thése hitherto advanced. Leneve Innocent. “I believe Ethel Leneve is absolutely innocent of any criminal knowledge o how Belle Eimore came to her death, continued Mme. Ginnett. “I belfeve the doctor missed his wife after he killed her and that he turned, as a' Jomely man will often ao, to the wo- man who had been assoclated with him inly she -hcwed‘he!‘ 3.—Inspector Dew of and go through the constant humilia- tion of daily masquerade in ill-fitting, unbecoming garments for any man.’’ The Doctor Drank, but Sparingly. “Both Belle Elmore and her hus- band liked little supper parties,” Mme. Ginnett said, “but they entertained freely. They served wine at the table but their idea of éntertainment did not begin and end in spilling cham- pagne. The doctor drank, but spar- ingly, for experience had taught him that he was ome of those men who must use liquor with caution. The Martinettes Must Have Had Some Cue. The last of these little suppers was given on the night of January 31, and Mr, and Mrs. Paul Martinette, both Americans, retired from the vaudeville stage, were * : guests. Letters Mme. Ginnett has had from England lead her to believe the tragedy centers on that night, and +hat information of what happened then has been given to Scot- land Yard by the Martinettes. If there was a quarrel on that night, the last night on which Belle Elmore was seen alive by the outside world, she believes the Martinettes must have had some cue to it in the conversation of the evening. Miss LEN’EVE CABLES HER SISTER IN LONDON “l Had Heard or Seen Nothing Until the Cruel Blow Fell.” “1 had seen or heard Am London, Aug. 3. nothing until the cruel blow fell. returning home.” This message from Ethel Clare Le- nave was received by her sister in London tonight. It brought great Te- lief to the relatives of the woman who is to be charged jointly with Dr. Crip- pen with murder.” The mother and sis- ter have sent numerous cablegrams to Ethel exprassing their confidence in her innocence and urging her to tell all to the police. A search of the registry offices has failed to reveal any evi- dence that Ethel Lenave was married to Crippen, and thus far such a mar- riage has not been reported at Somer- set house; which the cl officiale would be required to within a month after the ceremony. Inspector Dew testified at the inguest that Ethel Leneve did not ¢iaim to be married, but said that she \was Crip- pen’s housekeeper. Sha ml& ‘her par- ents, however, that she was married, but made excuses when they asked her to show her marriage certificate. The Scotland Yard officials reiterate their denial of the report that Inspec- tor Dew has received from London a cablegram stating that the mutilated body found in the" callar of Crippen’s house has been identified. DR. CRIPPEN’'S LAWYER NOT AT ALL DISCOURAGED. Says There is No Evidence That Mur- der H. Been Don London, Aug. 3.—Arthur Newton, the solicitor who will take charge of Crip- pen’s defense, said in an interview to- lay “It seems to me upon the evidence already available that the case against Dr. Crippen is not one to discourage me in the smallest degree. So far as I can ses there is no kind of evidence that a murder has actually been com- mitted. “I am in telegraph communication with Crippen and the statemant that he has confessed is quite unfounded. I am applying to the authorities for copies of the depositions of witnesses and all other available documents. There is a great deal to be done, but it will not be necessary for me to go to Canada, though I may meet Crip- pen at the British port of landing.” CHARGED WITH GETTING CASH UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. John Murray of Hartford Arrested in Danbury. Danbury, Conn., Aug. 3.—Charged with securing mwney under false pre- tences, John Murray, 36 years old, who says he is a mewspaper man and that his home is in Hartford, was arrested hare tonight and is being held for court in the morning. Murray says he represents the Journal of the Order of Raflway Clerks and has been secur- ing advertising for the journal among the manufacturers of the city. One local manufacturer that he called upon became suspicious and on investigating found that there was no such order as Murray represented and that the order Which did exist at one time had been mergad, with the Brotherhood of Rail- way Clerks. This manufacturer made a complaint and Murray’s arrest fol- lowed. On Murray was found a check for $10 signed by W. H. Green, an- other manufacturer. Murray _insists that there is such a journal as he rep- resents and that he is doing a legiti- mate business. He will be given a hearing in the morning.

Greenwich, Conn., Aug. 3.—Jens Peterson, a chauffeur, died in the local hospital ‘tonight from burns received while cleaning an automobile in the garage of the’Gresnwich Cab company. The tail light of the machine exploded, setting Peterson’s clothing on fire, and in response to a call to a_fellow work- man to throw water on him the man threw what he supposed was a pail of water, but which proved to be.gaso- line. ~Peterson ran from the garage, screaming for help, and ran around the neighborhood until someone wrap- ped him in a blanket and extinguished iihe flames. He was taken to the ho: pital, but had been so badly burned that ‘he died. ported for Governor.

The de- crease in cigar shipments to the Unit- ed States, England and Garmany was 28,1 00, as compared with thei lowest purchases since 1906. Because of the increased German duty, only the choicest Havana tobacco is now im- ported by German; THE WORLD’S COTTON IS IN NEW YORK CITY More Than 200,000 Bales Piled Moun- tain High on Piers. New York, Aug. 3.—New York today is the greatest cotton. port in the world. There are 215,208 bales in ware houses and on piers in the greater city. dll under contracts, the terms of which require that the cotton be moved with greatest possible expedition.. It may not be heid here. It has been-sold to consumers all over the world, and they want it. The cotton is not being sold on spec- ulation, the brokers will tell you; transactions are made on a merchan- dise basis. Brokers these days are occupied not in stock accounts, but in signing bills of lading. Cotton men say that such a situation has never existed here before, and that no port in the world ever had so much cof- ton “on the move.” ‘When the steamship Friedrich Wil- helm leaves tomorrow she will have 2,127 “bales in her hold. The steam- ship Caroline takes 5,571 bales on Sat- urday. Other steamships have been booked for cargo space by cotton men throughout this month. On the other side, those operators who are short on the market are engaging freight for 120,000 bales, and this means that the fight between those who now hold the cotton and those who have to deliver it _is not ended. In the meantime the bulkheads of | sections of South Brooklyn and Staten Island are piled and jammed with bales. Harbor veoyagers on the ferries gain even from casual observation the impression of an unusual situation, which figures of the amount of cot- ton now in this port bear out. In the last week or so the bulk of cotton to be moved by lighters to various railrads and steamships has seriously affected the general freight movement. ‘MOTOR YACHT AFIRE AT SEA. Small Craft With After Part Burned Sighted by Steamship Camaguey. New York, Aug The Ward liner Camaguey, arriving this_ afternoon from Cienfuegos, reported that a small motor yacht, which signalled that she was the Seneca or the Senegana, was sighted fourteen miles off Tacker's light, New Jersey, early today with her after part burned to the water’s edge. Two boats were seen alongside the vacht, which was still burning, with the crew in them. Captain Lambert hailed the yacht and offered assistance, which was de- clin>d. The yacht had a mast forward with a vard across, the usual rig of motor boats. WICKERSHAM HEARS OF A PLOT. He and Nagel Suggest Officers to Pre- vent Alaska Election Frauds.
