Sensational Flight of Fugves Ended in Their Arrest While
the Vessel on Which They Had Sailed for America
Was 100 Miles from Land. Both Prisoners
on the Verge Of Physical Collapse

Quebec, Aug. 1.-Canadian justice
moved swiftly today in the case of
Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel
Cara Leneve, who are charged with
guilty knowledge Of an abominable
crime," and who fed from the other
side Of the Atlantic only to be caught
IN police trap before they could put
foot on the soil of the Dominion.
The steamer Montrose, upon which
the fugitives were arrested while the
vessel was still 100 miles from this
port yesterday, arrived at her pier
here at 1875 o'clock this morning.
Inc prisoners were hastened through
an enormous crowd Of curious ones to
the provincial Jail where they were
placed In separate cells for the night.
Here they got a few hours sleep, the
best rest which either had had since
they fled from London on July 9,
shortly before the detectives found
In the cellar OF the Crippen home bits
OF human flesh which the authorities
have tried to establish, once went to
make up the body of Belle Elmore,
Crippen's lawful wife.
AS soon as the arrests were made
the local court authorities were noti-
fled and Judge Panet Anglers arrang-
ed to hold court this morning. The
accused were held under the law per-
tanning to fugivities who are suspect
ed of crime and the court proceedings
were arrangede to be conducted ex-
peditiously.
1t is hoped that Crippen and his
typist can be sent back to London on
the steamer Royal George which will
sail on Thursday. However, under
the fugitive offending act, the prison.
ers have right to remain here fifteen
days before their departure. This pc
riod affords them an opportunity to
seek release through habeas corpus
proceedings. Crippen also may exer-
else his right as an American citizen
to appeal to the American consul here
and 80 make sure that his rights are
not infringed. 1t is doubtful If Grip
pen avatls himself of either chance
for delay. it,. 49,,
AS the prisoners were about to be
taken ashore, a detective went with
Crippen who he held firmly by the
arm as they passed up the main COM
panion way to the after deck where
the gangplank way was fixed. Grip
pen. his face as white as death, walk
ed with shambling gait. AS they
passed the stateroom which the doc
tor had formerly occupied with Miss
Leneve, the door Of that room swung
open and Detective Mccarthy led, or
rather half carried, Miss Leneye out
to the passageway.
Both prisoners were so near to phy-
steal collapse that they scarcely
glanced at each other. Miss Leneve
tottered as she moved forward and
hardly could have proceeded alone,
On one side Detective Mccarthy held
her gently by the arm while on the
other side she was supported by the
stewardess.
The woman wore a grey dress which
had been given her by the stewardess
when the boys clothing in which she
had crossed the Atlantic was taken
from her. Over her hat a heavy veil
had been thrown. But she scarcely
needed the veil to hide her features
for her head WAS so bent that no one
could have seen her face. Inspector
Dew led the way to the gangway. the
steward carrying the small suit case

the only baggage which the two
brought with them.
