Father Point. Quebec. July 2s.-The
man who holds the key to the Crippen
case. Inspector Dew, OF Scotland Yard,
arrived to-day from London on the
steamship Laurentic. and Is waiting
here to unlock the secret the steam
ship Montrose will bring to Father
Point on Sunday.
Dew is the English police officer who
made an examination OF DR.. Hawley
II. crippen's home in London. after
the disappearance OF the Doctors ac-
tress wife. Belle Elmore.
Inspector Dew probably Is the only
man in America tonight qualified to
say with certainty whether the two
persons who sailed on the Canadian
Pacific liner Montrose from Antwerp
on July %. under the name of John
Robinson and John Robinson, Jr., are
DR.. crippen and his typist, Ethel Clara
Leneve. He will board the Montrose
when she stops here to take on her
river pilot. he will seek out the two
persons on board whom Captain Ken
dali believes are Cr!ppen and Miss Le-
neve. and IL he cl!nches the captains
auspicions. the so-called Robinson
will be arrested by the Canadian police
officers. who are waiting here with
warrants. charging Crippen with the
murder OF an unknown woman. His
companion will be held as an accessory.
Cn!etsMcCarthy, of the Quebec police.
who met Dew here to-day, says ne Is
confident that the suspicious OF the
Montrose's skipper will prove correc,
and that from Quebec Crippen and
Miss Leneve will be sent back to Eng.
land for trial
wireless Kept Busy.
The wireless station here resourded
all day with messages being exchanged
between the Canadian authorities, the
Scotland Yard Inspector and the cap
tain of tee Montrose. An immense
amount Of red tape had 10 be unrolled
before She Louaon detective could be
Laurentic. on which he crossed the
ocean. She arrived here shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon.
The long expected detective proved
to be large, forid- faced man, with
an air of impenetrable reserve. He
Immediately lodged behind the Cana
dian police officer and declined to dis
cuss the case. Il am sworn to Sc
crecy." he said. "and / cannot answer
any OF your questions"
Dew later drove with the Canadian
detectives to a boarding house, where
they will stay until the arrival of the
Montrose. Passengers on the Lauren.
tic say that Dew guarded his identity
from them until yesterday, when a
bombardment of wireless inquiries re-
vealed the fact that he was aboard.
He was on the passenger list as Dew
Hurst"
The fact that he sought out Chief
Mccarthy. of the Quebec police here,
seems to indicate that the provincial
officers, and not the Dominion author
ftias will Crtr to =
aboard the Montrose. When Constable
Charles Gauvreau. of Rimouski, five
miles from here. who had been author.
ICED by the Dominion police to make
the arrest, presented his card to Dew.
the latter waved him aside, and the
Rimouski detective made no further
effort to approach him.
Montrose Expected Sunday.
The Moutrose will enter the mouth
OF the st. Lawrence tomorrow, and
should arrive here Sunday afternoon.
She IS due in Quebec early Monday
morning.
Inspector Dew and Chief Mccarthy
visited the local wireless station to-
day to make sure that the restrictions
placed by the government upon wire
less communication with the Montrose
were regarded. The. police saw that
the couple aboard the vessel do NOT
yet know that they are under suspi.
cion and that every precaution is being
taken to prevent their getting wind Of
the elaborate preparation to receive
them here. The police fear that iii
any of the passengers hear of the sus-
picion regarding the alleged crippen,
the latter may learn, and the task Of
Identifying and arresting him on sun
day Will be made more difficult. BY
complete surprise. Inspector Dew andI
the Canadian police hope to break down
the self-possession Of the man and
perhaps obtain confession before
they reach Quebec,
one OF the passengers on the Lau.
rentic said that Dew passed among
them as London business man, and
until the wireless brought eXposure
no one on board had the slightest s,,s-
plclon OF his being a detective.
United States Consul Arrives.
Frederick M Ryder, United States
consul at Rimouski, arrived here to.
day. and conferred with Chief McCar-
thy. to efamiliarize himself with the
Crippen case In the event the man
thought to be DR., Crippen is arrested
and demands protection as an Ameri
can citizen. The consul will be noti.
fied Immediately If any arrest is made
s Mr.. Ryder said he doubted If DR..
Crippen would appeal to him If arrest.
ed. Mr.. Ryder does not expect that
Crippens rights as citizen OF the
United States will interfere In any way !
With the program laid out by the ca |;
madam authorities,
Sardininn Eliminated.
The Allan liner Sardinlan, which was !
first enormously reported to have the
SUSPECTS on board passed here early
to-day Her captain already had sent
a wireless message stating that no
one answering the description OF DR.
Crippen was aboard, thus eliminating |,
that vessel as a factor in the case.
The sardinian, however, figured ma
terially In the early stages Of the
transatlantic pursuit. 1t was this yes
sci that picked up the short-range
wireless from the Montrose and ra-
