OF either chance for delay
The greatest excitement was caused in
the city yesterday when a wireless mes
sage brought the that the long
sought man and woman had been arrest
ed on board the steamer Montrose when
the vessel laid to off Father Point to take
on pilot.
- 1t was known that the steamer with the
prisoners and their captors aboard would
be due here soon after midnight, and
early in the evening crowds began to
gather at the pier As the night adj
the police found that they had a big job
on their hands to restrain the curious
ones and so permit the landing of Inspec

used moral SuaSiOn. assumed more de-

Both Prisoners Nervous
When the boat swung into her pier
Crippen was still in cabin No. s. where he
was confined yesterday. With him was
Detective Denis. Miss Leneve was under
close watch of Chief Mccarthy in cabin

Dew had passed from cabin to the
other. not for one moment relaxing the
watch upon the prisoners. who had Slip

half hour before the landing the
prisoners were told that they were near
the greatest strain for hours, showed in
creased restlessness. Crippen who had
been attempting to read a novel, tossed
the book aside and dropped his head in
his hands in the same deSparing attitude
that he assumed yesterday forenoon when
he heard the fatefui words: I'm the name
j OF the king, arrest you"
At the same time Miss Leneve in her
quarters in another part of the vessel
fell on her knees and gazed out of the
porthole into the blackneSS of the night
Suddenly she turned back into her room
and was seized with fit of coughing
1t was nervous cough that racked her

physician who had ministered to her ply

The bells that indicated that the steam
er was being reduced to half speed, stop
ped. and back, sounded through the ship
and the prisoners looked anxiously tow
- ard their captors, as though realizing
g they had reached the shore that had re-
fused them refuge, but wondering what
the next nOur would bring them.
At 80 o'clock Capt Kendall came
down from the bridge and notified In
Spector Dew that in few minutes his
passengers would be taken ashore. Dew
notified Mccarthy and Denis. Present.
r ~ Denis emerged from the cabin door
with Crippen, whom he held firmly by
the arm as they passed, not up the main
companionway to the after deck where
the gang-plankway was fixed, but by a
side passage. passing both main cabins
in roundabout direction in a less con-
-spicuous path.
Face White as Death.
- Crppen. his face white as death,
: walked with stumbling gait AS
~ they passed the stateroom which the
doctor had formerly occupied with
Miss Leneve. the door of that room
swung open, and Detective Mccarthy
= led. or rather half carried, Miss Leneve
out to the passageway.
- Both prisoners were SO near to phys
zeal collapse that they scarcely glanced
at each other. Miss Leneve tottered as
she moved forward. and hardly could
have proceeded alone On one side Nc
sCarthy held her gently by the arm
while on the other side she was sup
ported by a StewardeSs.
The woman wore a gray dress which
had been given her by the stewardess
when the boys clothes in which she
had crossed the Atlantic were taken
from her. Over her hat a heavy veil
G had been thrown. But she scarcely
needed the veil to hide her features
"a. for her head was SO bent that no one
could have seen her face. On the way
over from Antwerp the face of Miss
Leneve had appeared 700 pretty for
- that of a boy. half hour after she
- had been placed in custdy her features
appeared TO be rather those of a well
- matured woman who had suffered much.
Dew led the way to the gangway a
steward carrying small suit case mark

them. Neither had extra suit of cloth

and hat that he did when he embarked
at Antwerp. but those who had seen him
