ceived no official information.
The court proceedings IS far as GRIP
pen was concerned closed about noon TO-
day with the order of the court remand
ing him. Crippen seemed absolutely dis
couraged. but, as far as can be ascer-

ND for trial. The police pin their hopes
on Miss Leneve but. following the wishes
of Inspector Dew, they say that they are
making no effort to obtain CONCESSIONS
and not subjecting either prisoner &c
ANYTHING approaching the third degree
such efforts would be contrary to Brit
ish police methods.
Orders Sent from England.
IT had been expected that both the
prisoners would be arraigned at lo:So
o'clock this morning and deported on the
steamer Royal George, which VIII SAL
for England on Thursday. Inspector
Dew received instructions which changed
the programme. The English officials &c
not wish anything done that would give
the appearance of "railroading' the prls-
oners They wish the formalities OF ex-
| tradition followed to the letter.
After the detectives with Crippen
drove up to the courthouse in carriage
| and had literally fought their way
through the crowd to the judges cham
bers. Crippen was brought at once to
the bar He was heavily manacled, the
steel bracelets weighing down his thin
wrist. It was apparent that he had
passed bad night.
The Judge asked the prisoner II ne
was Hawley II. Crippen.
Il am" said Crippen. in a voice SO
weak that it could hardly be heard.
do YOU know this MANI" indicating
Inspector Dew. Crippen nodded MS
! head.
Are you ready to go back with MN
or any other qualified off1cer?'
| Yes
"Do YOU intend to fight extradition?'
! No
As he answered the questions Crippen
scarcely raised his head. He said he was
a citizen of the United States, born IN
Michigan.
When the Judge asked, rs the girl
arrested with you Miss Ethel Clare
Leneve?" Crippen replied, Yes.
His response was in the most colorless
tone
Suspicious on the Vessel.
Talks with the crew and stewards OF
the Montrose threw interesting side
lights on the actions of the pair on the
VOYAGE from Antwerp. Dominick Keen,
the steward who looked after their state
room. had the best opportunity OF oo-
serving their actions. He said:
| "J was one of the first to discover by
| her neat methods in her room. her way
Of walking and her effeminate figure that
| John Robinson, jr.' was woman. 1heh
we discovered that the labels had peer
| taken from all their clothes, that the
lining had been torn from the younger
Robinson's hat, and soon Captain Ken
dali was convinced that he had the mucr
| sought fugitives aboard. The pair spent
most of their time in their cabin ano
summed the other passengers as far as
possible"
Alfred Smith, the dining room steward
| told how Crippen had maneuvred &c
l,aen Miss Ieneve seated by him al
table. He said Crippen had asked fol
two seats at the captains table, side py
side. and next to the wall, SO that no one
could sit beside Miss Leneve other than
| himself NV boy is a little deaf" he
told the steward, and after some argu-
ment succeeded in getting the desired
| seats In this way he prevented pas
sengers from engaging the girl in con
versation at the table and betraying heI
sex by her voice.
Talk with Passenger.
! Arthur Homer, of Montreal, one OF the
few English speaking passengers aboard
came perhaps in closer contact with the
pair. Crippen used to lend him maya
zines. and they often talked together
when Miss Leneve was not present, IL
though Crippen was careful not to re-
veal much of his past history Homer
saws that Crippen and Miss Leneve usec
to drink on an average of three bottles
of beer a day, and he had thought il
strange that a father should allow a
Young son to touch intoXicants.
It seems that In the hustle of departure
from Antwerp the two escaped obserVa-
| zion when they came aboard, and passed
pnnoticed until the next morning. wher
the third officer saw them walking to-
eether on deck His attention was i'm
nediately attracted by the short steps
taken by the younger of the two, and her
girlish voice.

Kendall. and it was not long before he
had sent his message, saying that Grip

Quebec Greatly Excited,
Great excitement was caused IN the
CITY Yesterday when a wireless MESA &c
brought the news of the arrests. 1t was
known that the steamer with the pris-
oners and their captors aboard would be
due here soon after midnight and early
