the Man Wanted.

On Board Steamship Montrose. Below
Quebec Especially DIR. Harvey Hawley
Crippen and Ethel Leneve are in the
grasp of Scotland Yard At $3.50 Sunday
morning Inspector Dew boarded the ship
off Father Point, with the pilot, and in a
few moments the handouts were on the
man for whom the police Of the world
have been searching for the past three
weeks. As for Miss Leneve, when ar
rested, she tainted in her cabin, still
dressed in the boys clothes.
When Dew touched Crippen on the
shoulder all the latter said was s'am glad
the suspense is over. The anxiety was
| too great for me to bear
Crippen was Immediately taken to
cabin =, while Miss Leneve remained in
room in, state of collapse. This is
the room that John Philo Robinson, mer-
fchant of Detroit, and John George Rob
inson, student, had occupied. Miss Le-
neve was given women's clothing as soon
as the arrest was made.
The large tender Eureka, with 40 news
paper men aboard, cruised about the har
Dor from the Montrose and not
headed in her direction. This was pre-
arranged, as it was feared that Crippen
would become suspicious if the whole
i boatload of people came out to the ship
and would try to end his life by suicide
The little party with the pilot boarded
the Montrose, climbing up the rope lad
der, and in about Is minutes the answer
| ing signal Of four blasts was heard by
those ON board the Eureka, and the tender
ploughed her way in the direction of the
steamer. She was soon alongside and the
newspaper men climbed aloft by the lad
der route in drenching shower. In a
/ few minutes the Montrose was on her
way to Quebec.
Crippen and Miss Leneye had break
| fast as usual and afterward the girl, in
| boys clothing retired to her cabin while
Crippen paced the deck on the port side.
DIR. Stewart, the ships surgeon, in de-
Escribing the arrest said while Crippen
had been very nervous since the gulf
reached, he did not seem to be appre-
hensive of the short stop at Father Point
until he saw the boat load of men pulling
| for the ship. Then he turned pale.
/ Inspector Dew walked up the deck and
when he got near to where Crippen and
DIR. Stewart were standing he stopped
and beckoned to Crippen. He did not
falter for a moment, but walked straight

pen and Miss Leneve were allowed to see
each other.
Miss Leneve is rapidly recovering her
composure and DR.. Crippen is almost
cheerful.
No effort was made by Inspector Dew
to get confession from Crippen. The
jewels found ON the prisoner furnish the
only discriminating evidence
When the Inspector had taken ,Crippen
to the captains room under the bridge,
where the arrest was made by Detectives
Mccarthy and Denis, as the steel brace
let's clamped his wrists he looked at Dew
/, for a moment and said he was glad the
suspense was over Then he was quickly
led down to vacant cabin, where he was
searched.
The first search of his outer clothing
REVEALED only $40 bill, a watch and a
pencil No revolver, not even knife
was found. Pinned to his undershirt,
however, were five ladies diamond rings
; and diamond pin.
Miss Leneve, when searched, also had
in her possession splendid diamond
brooch
In Cabin Miss Leneve, alias John
George Robinson, was searched after she
revived from the collapse which followed
her arrest. She was given brandy and
Inspector Dew and stewardess went
through her clothing Nothing was found
of any consequence save the diamond
brooch, and Dew asked her several ques-
itions, trying to draw from her what
knowledge She had of the crime. She
volunteered little information, however
