THE NEWSPAPERS SCORE A POINT
When the history Of the pursuit and
capture Of the London dentist, Crippen
is fully known, it viii probably be
learned that the newspapers played a
not inconsiderable part in the proceed
ings. In fact, il is more than likely taat
the press Of the world Is directly respon-
side fer the prompt arrest Of the man
who is charged with hsiRous offense
in has honden home. We would not
give the impression that Dr. Crippen
could forever have eluded tae prying
eyes Of the worlds police; that would
have been scarcely possible. But bis
capture might have sscn long delayed,
had it net been fer the wideeast pub
bcity Of bis alleged crime and his GER
tain fight from London. The agent,
with the newspapers, in driving him to
capture was the captain Of an Atlantic
liner, Captain Kendall Of the Montrose,
bound for Canada.
Before steaming out Of Antwerp,
Capt. Kendall had read the newspapers,
giving an account Of the alleged murder
Of AIRS. crippen in London, and had
noticed the pictures Of the alleged fugi-
tive, which were printed in connection
Herewith. With the impressions thus
gained from the newspapers, he sailed
for this side of the Atlantic with ais
steamer-load Of passengers, and before
being out Of port day his attention
was attracted by two passengers, who
were strikingly like the fugitive Crippen
and bis typist, who, to aid in escape,
rad dressed in boys clothing Becoming
convinced Of the correctness Of his sur
mise, he communicated BY wireless to
the London authorities, and, acting on
that clue, Scotland Yard sent an in
kpcctor by a faster boat than the Mont
rose; and the remainder was easy. The
inspector, having gained this side Of the
ocean BY faster travel, was waiting with
open arms to receive the fleeing dentist,
and the arrest at Father Point, Que,
