Three thousand people, chiefly women, struggled for admission to the Police Court. The police, when Crippen was brought up unexpectedly look him to the adjoining room. Crippen told the Judge he did not intend to fight the extradition order. He was briefly examined, and was remanded for fifteen days. The crowd was angry at being duped. The girl Le Neve swooned prior to the Court proceedings, aud was not taken to the Court, being examined privately, aud remanded. She is quartered at the home of Constable McCarthy. Crippen was sent to gaol, where a Catholic priest visited him. During the Police Court proceedings Mrs Giunett, a trainer of trick horses and a friend of the late Mrs Crippen, identified Crippen. At the end of the proceedings she bitterly upbraided the prisoner, whom the police hurried away.

The first search did not reveal any jewels about Crippen, but the second examination showed that Crippen, with the aid of safety pins, had made a treasure-laden belt in the lower part of his shirt, where several diamond rings and pins were concealed. I,e Neve wore, under her outer boy’s apparel, a sort of canvas harness, reducing her well-rounded form to a boy’s straight lines.
