Quebec, Aug. 20.-Hawley Harvey
Crippen and Ethel Glare Leneve sailed
for England on the White Star line
Megantic at o'clock tonight and are
due at Liverpool at noon next Sat
urday. BY Saturday night they will
probably be lodged in a London jail
To await trial for the murder of a
woman supposed to be Crippen's wife.
Belle Elmore.
An extraordinary accident occurred
as Crippen crossed the gang plank. It
carried an omen that might well de-
press a man in the shadow of the gal
lows. Crippen came hurrying across
The plank handcuffed. his hat pulled
low over his eyes and his chin buried
in his collar; trying apparently to
dodge the photographers.
In his haste he ran squarely into
rope that held the gangway steady.
The rope caught him under the chin
and jerked him backwards and had
not Inspector Dew caught him. Grip
pen would have fallen and possibly
pitched between the two vessels intol
the water
Miss Leneve. who had left the jail
with everv evidence OF Willingness,
had to be supported as she crossed the
gangplank. As she reached the deck
of the Megantic she tainted and hau
to be carried to her cabin. II was
half an hour before she revived, The
girl never has recovered completely
from her collaps at first, although
her condition has caused her jailer no
anxiety.
Inspector Dew managed the depart
ure of the famous pair in manner
that furnished n fitting climax to their
sensational capture. The fruits Of
Dew's deep thought during his TWEEN
ty days of solemn silence first became
evidenced at s o'clock this morning
+ but the fun beauty of his scheme did
not appear in all its elaboration until
a the hour of sailing
The finishing touch to a twelve
hour performance that more than
y once verged on opera bouffe came
when the Scotland Yard inspector
climbed the gangplank and with i'm
passive countenance entered his name
4 on the passenger list as "Silas p.
n BOYLE" This in spite of the fact that
a Dew was probably the best known
man aboard and that among his 800
4felow passengers fully 500 had met,
