Z The Montrose arrived at her dock
this morning at 1880 and was greet
ed by tremendous throng of the
curiosity inclined. A squad of fifty
policemen kept the crowd back un-
til the prisoners could be landed ana
rushed to jail.
The Identification of the long
sought fug gtives onboard the fog
shrouded steamer by the detective
who had traced them across the At
/, lantic, landing ahead of the Moat-
rose, was the elimination of one of
the most sensational flights of re-
cent criminal annals.
Accompanied by the Canadian Of
ficers Inspector Dew boarded the
vessel at $50 O'Clock Sunday mora
ing and fifteen minutes later
both man and girl were locked in
their staterooms, Crippen broken

After brief delay the Monsrose
continued her fifty-mile journey up
the river toward Quebec, where a
Jail awaited the pair.
Crippen is charged with the murd.

to have been his actress wife.
The girl is held as an accessory
In charge Of Inspector Dew. they
will be taken back to England for
trial on the Royal Line Steamship

DR.. Crippen is sullen an silent
and Miss Leneve is almost phys
ical wreck. She has wrung her hands
and moaned piteous.y and has not
slept since her arrest.
The precaution taken by inspect
or Dew to prevent the couple from
committing suicide was evidently
well advised as small envelopes con-
tanning what is believed to be pois-
on were found on Crippen. The
girl threw something from the win
dow of her stateroom when arrested
and it is believed 1t was Crippen's
revolver. When discovered the girl
wore heavy canvas harness to pre-
vent showing her girlish figure
through the masculine clothes N
which she was attired.
Crippen had canvas belt about
his body containing valuable jewels
Captain Kendall refuses to talk
concerning incidents of the voyage.
He will be called as witness at the
arraignment of the couple today.
The passengers are now relating
many incidents which caused them
to suspenct that DR.. Crippen's boyisn
looking companion was a girl.
The capture of DR.. Crippen and
Miss Leneye is credited by the news
papers to wireless telegraphy. They
declare It was the most dramatic
wireless event in the history Of the
world. They say Captain Kendall
and the Montrose's wireless operator
captured the fugitives after Scotland
Yard had fallen down. The newspa-
ners do not hesitate to declare that
scotland Yard blundered all the way
through.
CAPTAIN Kendall had read the
newspapers reports Of the finding at
the body OF Crippen's wife, and when
Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve came
aboard the Montrose at Antwerp July
20 his suspicious were aroused. The
couple spent a good deal OF their
time holding hands and the captain
noticed that the sons" trousers
were held up by safety pins. He be-
