er Laurentic, from London. and is wait

pected to bring DR.. Crippen to this por
on Sunday.
Mr. Dew is the British police inspector
who made an examination Of DR.. Hawle,
H. Crippen's home in London after the
disappearance Of the doctors wife
known on the stage as Belle Elmore. He
made an appointment to meet Cripper
/ later, but before the date arrived nu-
tilated body was dug from the cellar
OF the Crippen house, and DR.. Cripper
was a fugitive.
Inspector Dew probably is the only
man in America tonight qualified tc

sons who sailed OH the Canadian Pacific

charging Crippen with murder. His
companion will be held as an accessory.
Chief Mccarthy of the Quebec police
Tpfn Mr. Teayx- hora fn-lor he

and that from Quebec Crippen and Miss
Leneve will be sent back to England for
trial.
The wireless station here resounded all
day with the crackle of sparks that
told OF messages exchanged between the
Canadian authorities the Scotland Yard
inspector and the captain Of the Mont
rose.
An immense amount Of red tape had
to be unrolled before the British detec-
tive could be landed here from the
White Star liner Laurentic, on which he
crossed the ocean, and which arrived
here shortly before 4 O'Clock this after
noon Father Point has no quarantine
and no customs inspector. but Captain
Jean Baptiste Belanger Of the tug which
puts pilots aboard incoming liners, re-
ceived orders from the Quarantine and
Immigration Department at Ottawa, au
thorizing him to take Dew Off
Many Persons Meet Steamer.
When the pilot boat left here at $50
o'clock this afternoon. she carried two
physicians especially authorized to in
spect the Laurentic. and in addition she
had on board three Canadian police Off
GERS, a score OF newspaper men and
photographers, and as many irha bitants
Of this little seacoest town as could
crowd aboard.
When the boat steamed alongside the
big liner mile from shore one Of the
freight matches on the Laurentic's lower
deck was opened and Inspector Dew
stepped on board the smaller boat. It
was the first time In the history of
Father Point that a transatlantic pas
senger had been landed here. Before the
pilot boat was allowed to leave the liners
side, however, the two physicians spent
twenty minutes aboard. but they found
nothing to warrant OBTAINING Dew.
The long expected detective is a large
man of fiorid face. He wore q long
green ulster, a black derby and an air
Of inpe .trable reserve He immedi-
ately lodged behind the Canadian police
officers, and declined to discuss the case.
"I am sworn to secrecy he said. II
cannot answer any Of your questions"
When the pilot boat landed Mr.. Dew
drove with the Canadian detectives to
boarding house. where they will stay
until the arrival Of the Montrose.
Passengers on the Laurentic say that
Dew guarded his identity from them
until yesterday, when bombardment Of
wireless queries revealed the fact that
he was aboard. He was on the passen-
ger list as "Dewhurst,'' and when he
found that he was known he withdrew
from his fellow passengers and refused
to answer questions bearing on the Grip
pen case.
The fact that Inspector Dew sought
out Chief Mccarthy OF the Quebec police
here seems to indicate that the provin-
cieI officers and not the Dominion au-
thorities will arrest Crippen if he is on
board the Montrose. When Constable
Charles Geuvreau, Of Rimouski five
miles southeast of here, who has been
authorized by the Dominion police to
make the arrest. presented his card to !
Mr.. Dew, the latter waved him aside, |
and the Rimouski detective made no fur |
ther effort TO approach him.
Steamer Expected on Sunday.
The Montrose will enter the mouth Of |
the St Lawrence tomorrow, and should |
arrive here on Sunday afternoon. She |
is due at Quebec early on Monday morn
ing Inspector Dew and Chief Mccarthy |
visited the local wireless station to-
night to make sure that the restrictions |
placed by the government on wireless |
with the Montrose were |
regarded. The police say that the couple |
they are under suspicion, and that every
precaution is being taken to prevent
their getting wind of the elaborate prep
aration to receive them here
No private messages to the Montrose
are received here. and it is said that
the captain Of the vessel exercises
supervision over everything received.
The police fear that If any of the pas
sengers hear of the reports the sus-
pected person may learn OF them and
