The judge asked the prisoner If he
was Hawley ii. Crippen.
Il am," said Crippen.
do you know this man?" indicating
Inspector Dew,
Crippen nodded his head
Are you ready to go back with him
or any qualified officer?"
YES"
DO you intend to fight extradition?'
AS he answered the questions Grip
pen scarcely raised his head.
To further interrogatives he said he
was a citizen of the United States,
born in Michigan.

LAWS STRONG HOLD
The proceedings were under the
fugitive offenders law that obtains
between British possessions. Judge
Langeler explained today that under
this statute, as soon as the attorney
general of the province of quebec was
notified by cable that a warrant had
been issued in London he asked Judge
Anglers to provide a provisional war
rant for the arrest of the suspects on
the Montrose.
The examination today was con-
Quoted by Judge Langelier, who sits on
the bench with Judge Anglers.
Talks with the crew and stewards
of the Montrose threw interesting side
lights on the actions OF the pair on the
voyage from Antwerp. DominicR
Keen, the steward. who looked after
their stateroom, had the best oppor-
tunity for observing their actions. He
said:
Il was one of the first to discover
by her neat methods in her room. her
way of walking and her effeminate
figure, that John Pobinson, jr, was a
woman. Then we discovered that the
labels had been taken from all their
clothes, that the lining had been torn
from the younger Robinson's hat, and
soon Captain Kendall was convinced
that he had the much sought fugitiVes
on board"
Alfred Smith, the dining room stew
ard, told how Crippen had mancuvered
to keep Miss Lenevo seated by him at
the table.
AT THE TABLE
He said Crippen had asked for two
seats at the captains table, side by
side, and next to the wall, so that no
one could sit beside Miss Leneve other
than himself.
My boy is little deaf" he told the
steward, and after some argument
succeeded in getting the desired seats.
In this way he prevented any passen-
gers from engaging the girl in conver-
sation at the table and betraying her
sex by her voice.
Arthur Homer OF Montreal, one of
the few English-speaking passengers
aboard, came perhaps in closer contact
with the pair. Crippen used to lend
him magazines and they often talked
together when Miss LeneVe was not
present, although Crippen was careful
not to reveal much of his past history.
There are many today who believe
Crippen was taken less by surprise
than had been planned. 1t is certain
that his resources for escape had
dwindled until he was nearly helpless,
He had a railroad ticket for Detroit,
but only SO in his pocket
Miss Leneve had no. a cent Grip
pen, however, did have several jewels
concealed on his person.
Captain Kendall was apprehensive of
an attempt at suicide.
