FATHER POINT, Quebec July 30
Barring unforeseen delay 1t will be
known by noon tomorrow whether DR..
Hawley Harvey Crippen and his stem
ographer. Ethel Claire Leneve, are
aboard the steamship Montrose.
Tonight the vessel is forcing her way
through a storm up the ST. Lawrence
river and nearing this point. where
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, with
Canadian officers, waits impatiently
to Chamber aboard and arrest the man
whom he believes to be the American
dentist, a fugitive from Justice charged
with the murder in Lodon of an un-
identified woman, thought to have been
his actress wife, Belle Elmore.
Early this afternoon Captain Kendall
sent a wireless that he expected to be
here by 6 o'clock Sunday morning, but
later a storm came down the river and
T. seemed unlikely that the steamer
would make as good time as her COM
mander expected. If the police carry
out their program, they will land the
pair at Quebec before 9 o'clock Sunday
night. If there is no hitch in arrange
ments and identification the prisoners
will be kept in Jail at Quebec until
Monday morning, when they will be
arraigned before Judge Panet Anglers
at Quebec.
HAVE RUSH PLANS

sourcefulness the Canadian police ex-
pect to place him In the hands of In
spector Dew the same day to be taken
back to England on the next steam
ship sailing from Quebec on Thursday.
Frederick NJ Ryder, the American
consul at Rlmouski, near here, today
came TO Father Point to see Inspector
Dew. He has no intention of inter
fering with the action of the Canadian
authorities, but considers it his duty to
be on hand in case Crippen considers
that his rights as an American citizen
are being infringed and to advise him
concerning his privileges.
Fog and thunderstorms tonight in
terrupted wireless communication be-
tween the Montrose and the local sta
ton.
Inspector Dew in a private chat to-
day described the discovery of the body
believed to have been Belle Elmore's 8
IN Crippen's London home.
FINDING THE BODY
"I saw nothing amiss when I first
went through the house." he said, land
although I searched each room care
fully twice, with the same result, I
was not satisfied 1 thought 1t would
be we'll to go back and test the walls
with an iron bar. So 1 went back the
fourth time, and at first found nothing
amiss.
THE cellar walls all seemed sound,
but striking about with the iron bar
struck a loose brick, and out 1t fell.
Instantly ] began to tear away the
loose bricks, and underneath / found a
mass of human flesh, eaten away with
lime Not a bone was found, and I
believe the murderer, with his medical
SKILL separated them from the flesh
and threw them into canal not far
from the house"
rumor reached here tonight from
Montreal that Crippen committed sui
eide on board the Montrose. This
caused considerable uneasiness, al
though 1t came absolutely without
foundation.
Inspector Dew got in touch with the
Montrose again about 10 o'clock, and
although he would not say what mes
sages he received, he seemed relieved
by the news. The inspectors greatest
fear is that Crippen may recognize him
before he gets aboard the Montrose
and make an attempt to commit sui
eide. To prevent this Dew, 1t was said,
has arranged to go aboard disguised
as a pilot.
