Thank God the suspense is over, and

Crippcns arrest accomplished, Dew
! hurried to Miss Leneve's stateroom,
where he found her, still dressed as

nervous breakdown. Her appearance
when confronted by the detective and
told that she was under arrest was pitia-

hard to retain throughout the voyage
left her She cried out Historically and
became so faint that restoratives were
administered. Shut in her room and re-
stored TO womans dress, she was closely
guarded as the vessel continued its 100
mile Journey up the river for fear that
she would take her life or collapse ut

/ Only Admit Identity.
! Although neither Crippen nor the
! typist denied their identity. neither ad-
mittod any connection with the death
t of the woman.
Inspector DeW's task was only to
point out the fusitives to the Canadian
police and after their arrest bring them
back to England. Neither he nor the
! Canadians who made the arrest tried to
get discriminating admissions from the
I
British law, and the prisoners yolun-
teered no information.
With the shock Of arrest over. a stew
ardess changed the boys clothing in
which the girl had travelled as Grip
pens son for garments suitable to her
sex. Then she collapsed again and lay
for more than an hour in her berth, her
! features contorted and her body shaken
with convulsive sobs. In a separate
cabin, guarded by detective, Crippen
sat in silence with his chin sunk on his
chest. On the deck near at hand a
group of French and Rumanian immi-
grants were singing cheerful song7-
When the inspector went aboard the
steamer to-day he felt certain that he
would find that Captain Kendalrs sus
picions We're correct, and his greatest
fear was that Crippen and the typist,
when they saw him come aboard and
found themselves discovered on a ship
, in midstream. would commit suicide.
Since his arrivel here Scotland Yard had
been warning him to beware of such an
accident and Dew himself had been
keeping the wireless hot with messages
to the captain of the Montrose urging
great care in guarding the two.
Army of Correspondents.
The small army of American, Canadian
and European correspondents that had
been waiting at Father Point to sec the
end OF one of the most exciting man
hunts in police history, arose at dawn
TO-DAY, but Dew and the Canadian de-
tectives were up before them. From the
Cuff of the st. Lawrence, 100 miles
away. q fog had rolled up the river, and
it was Impossible to see more than fifty
yards
But the wireless had stabbed its way
through the mist, bringing word that
the Nontrose was only thirty miles
her way cautiously, and it was 7:45
before her black ringed funnel was Wis
ibIe down the river. At that time the
fog lifted a little, but 1t was still dense
enough to aid admirably the purpose of
the detectives, which was to get aboard
without arousing the cosple they hoped
to arrest.
An
Canadian assistants were donnng their
pilot uniforms to board the Eureka.
Dew slipped on the deck and nearly
knocked Denis overheard. but both re-
covered their balance. fortunately, and
no one was Injured.
After they had stepped into the tender
alongside Dew ordered tho sailors who
were rowing to make for the starboard
bow of the Montrose. Twenty minutes
later he vas aboard and Crippen had
been arrested.
Details OF Arrest.
Dr. Stuart. who stood beside the fusi-

the following account:
II was walking on the promenade deck
about 80 o'clock this morning when
Crippen, who was in the habit OF rising
at G:30 o'cloc each morning, joined me in
nv walk He talked on various subjects,
and seemed indifferent 10 the fact, OF

men aboard, saying: There seems to
