Quebec, Aug. Especial: DR.. H. H.
Crippen, accused wife murderer, and
Miss Ethel Leneve, his companion,
are behind bars and under close guard
in the Jail at the Parliament House
They were brought ashore on the
Montrose before daylight this morn
ing. The vessel was greeted when
she arrived at her dock at 1880 by a
tremendous crowd of curious people
and squad of fifty police. O.
Crippen sits in terror and silence
on the bunk in his cell and refuses to
talk. The Leneye girl is almost a
physical wreck. She has not closed
her eyes since Crippen was arrested.
Great precaution is taken to avoid
giving Crippen and the girl an oppor.
tunity for suicide. Taken from an
envelope containing Crippen's belong
ings the police found a small paper
of powder and a tiny vile of dark
brown liquid, which they say was
poison. When the police arrested
Miss Leneve she rushed to the port
hole in the steamer and threw some
thing out which the police think was
the revolver Crippen had with him.
Crippen was arraigned in police
court before Judge Anglers shortly be-
fore noon today. The proceedings
were brief. Crippen admitted his
identity. He offered no objections to
being sent back to England for trial.
Judge Anglers promptly remanded him
to Jail for fifteen days. Miss Leneve
was too i'll to appear in court, the ply.
stefan announcing that she had brok.
en- down completely and was in a
serious condition.
Official Mowart, of the Montrose,
today claimed credit of first arousing
Captain KendalPs suspicion regarding
the pair. He had read much of the
Crippen case. He gathered together
all the available newspapers and with
Captain Kendall and the other officers
went over the matter carefully.
Montreal, Que, Aug. IA real de-
tectiye story, the plot Of which has
never yet been conceived by Poe or
a Doyle, but which has been told in
the newspapers day by day. came to
its last chapter with the arrest of DR..
Harvey H. Crippen and Miss Ethel
Leneve by the provincial police and
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard. on
charge of having killed Mrs. Crippen,
known on the stage as Belle Elmore,
in London.
1t was simple performance, this ar
rest, and carried out with all the alb
sence of theatricals and a display Of
calmness that was remarkable under
the circumstances. In word, 1t was
all that staid, stolid Scotland Yard
could desire.
