Hostile Demonstration Greets F.llirl
Claire I-cncvc, Whose Statement
That She HoikmI to Wed Doctor
Hobs Her of Sympathy.
LONDON. Sept. 11. Dr. II. II. Crippen
and his typist. Ethel Claire Lenevc. to
day were formally committed for trial
for the murder of the former's wife,
Cora Belle Crippen. the American act
res.i. who was known on the stage, as
Helle Elmore. The doctor Is charg
with murder and his companion as an
accessory after the fact.
For some time the magistrate in the
Bow-street Court has been hearing the
evidence offered by the crown, and
the conclusion of these preliminary
proceedings today announced that he
would hold Crippen on the capital
charge, and. without expressing an
opinion on the evidence agalnKt Miss
Leneve. added that he felt that It was
sufficient for him to commit her for
trial as an accessory after the fact.
The Inquest into the death of Crip
pen's wife not being; concluded, another
session of the court will be held next
Monday.
The crown has attempted to show
that parts of'the body found were of
the body of Belle Elmore, but Its medl
cal experts have not been able to swear
positively regarding the sex. At Mon
day's session Emtl H. Jackson, at whose
home Miss Leneve lodged up to March
last, recited a conversation which she
said she had had with her lodger and
which Indicated that the girl expected
to marry Dr. Crippen after his wife left
him.
Thin testimony appears to have
robbed the accused girl of some of the
sympathy which she has heretofore en-
Joyed and was the cause of a hostile
demonstration when she arrived at the
Bow-street station today. The eab that
she occupied was followed by a crowd
of hooting women, and their taunts
were echoed by the throng that had
gathered In the vicinity of the court.
Gilbert M. Rylance, the prisoner's
partner In the manufacture of artificial
teeth, testified today of receiving
note from Crippen In which the latter
said that in order to escape trouble he
would be obliged to absent himself for
a time.

the ratea originally complained of can be

Pre-Nuptial Agreement to Be
Tested in Fear Her Own Al

TRIO MADE DEFENDANTS
Julia Chamberlain Chauler, Who
Divorced Diva's Jfew Husband,
Questions Validity of 'Deal.'
Receiver la Asked.
NEW YORK. Sept. 21. The validity of
the famous pre-nuptlal agreement be
tween Robert Wlnthrop Chanler and Una
Cavallerl, his bride. Is now certain to
be tested In the courts.
Chanler's first wife, Julia Chamberlain
Chanler, who obtained a divorce from
him In the. French courts In 1907. filed suit
here today In behalf of herself and her
children In an endeavor to set aside the
agreement on the ground that It was ob
tained by fraud and undue influence and
that It was not the free act of Robert
Wlnthrop Chanler.
Previous Aureement May Bind.
jnrs. unanler. the first, has an agree
ment of her own with 'her ex-husband
providing for the payment of HO.OOJrycarly
for her support and 15000 yearly tor the
support of each of her daughters.
1 ne plalntiir Is not aware, she says
In her papers, "of the yearly Income of
the said Robert Chanler, but the plaintiff
believes that by the aforesaid agreement.
the defendant has put It out of his power
to carry out the terms of his said agree
ment with the plaintiff, and that by rea
son thereof, the plaintiff and her. chil
dren may be deprived of the means of
livelihood."
She continues "that she Is further In
formed and believes that the defendant.
at the time of the execution of the said
Indenture, was In a suggestible mental
state that he was susceptible or liable to
be easily Influenced and deceived and
that the defendant, Natallna Cavallerl
Chanler. knowing of his condition and
taking advantage thereof, contrived, by
misrepresentation, specious inducements
and undue Influence to persuade him to
execute the said Indenture.
Cancellation Is Asked.
"Wherefore, the plaintiffs pray that the
agreement be adjudged In fraud of the
rights of the plaintiff and the children
of the defendant and therefore void, and
that It be brought Into court to be can
celled and that the record thereof In the
office of the Register of the County of
New York be cancelled."
The complaint also states that Chan
ler is In receipt of the Income from three
separate trust funds and continues Its
demand that "Natallna Cavallerl be en
joined, pending this action, from dispos
ing of said property and that a receiver
be appointed to hold and preserve said
property and to receive the Income to
which the defendant R. W. Chanler may
be entitled during the pendency of this
action and to pay thereout to. this plain
tiff, the sums to which she is entitled
aforesaid."
The defendants named are Chanler,
Cavallerl and the trustees of the Chan
ler trust funds. No reply to the com
plaint has yet been made.

GOVERNOR'S DAY ATTRACTS
LARGE CROWD AT CHEHALIS.
Grandstand Is Tuxcd to Capacity

CHEHALIS. Wash.. Sept. 21. (Spe-
ciul.) Today was Governor's day and
Chehalis-Centralla day at the South
west Washington State Fair, and the
crowd was a splendid turnout from the
two cities.
Many other soutkwest cities were
represented, attendance being heavy
from Olympia and the Grays Harbor
country. The crowd waa estimated at
about 8000, and the entertainment fur
nished was of the highest class. The
exhibit buildings were packed all day
with the throngs, and when Governor Hay
delivered his address this afternoon the
rapacity of the Immense grandstand
was taxed to contain the audience. The
Governor complimented the efforts of
the fair commission most highly, and
Marshell K. Snell. of Tacoma. who fol
lowed him. also paid the fair a great
compliment.
The racing programme was excellent.
Thursday, which Is southwest Wash-
ngton Development Association day, is
expected to attract one of the largest
crowds of the week, these being many
assurances that large delegations will
attend.
Walla Walla Scliool Reflects on Or
dinance Requiring Gates and Flag
men and Stopping of Trains.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., Sept 21.
(Special.) That the railroads of the
city are endeavoring to hand the Board
of Education "a package. Is the opin
ion of many of those conversant with
the situation. The present phase of
the trouble is merely a continuation of
the controversy between the Northern
Pacific and the school board and Is
taken to Indicate that the Northern Pa
cific is still In the ring and fighting
strong.
When an ordinance requiring gates
and flagmen was first drawn up, it not
only had these requirements, but also
that of the trains stopping before the
crossings. The railroad says that
either is all right; that they can be
forced to put in gates and maintain
flagmen, or they can be forced to stop
their trains before crossing. But not
both.
Hence they are now willing to have
the ordinance go through In its original
form, hoping thus to take the matter
into court and keep It there for two
or three years, which will be cheaper
than . maintaining the gates and flag
men.
Whether or not the Council will per
mit this now that the plan has leaked
out. Is not known; but it Is probable a
thorough Investigation of the legality
of the proposition will be made before
any action is taken.
