be too many pilots aboard Then We
| resumed our conversation
The detectives climbed aWkWardly up
the rope ladder, Dew first followed by
Mccarthy, then Denis, and finally Fran
! cois Gauvreau. the official pilot, who was
to take the liner 20 Quebec.
'fAs Dew stepped aboard Crfppen and
myself were standing on the lee side of
| the vessel, a little forward of the main
! companionway. J. Shaw. the purser,
waited at the top Of the ladder. and
| pointed out the dentist to Dew. The in
spector walked quickly up to him, and
| III a moment il was all over
Another eyewitness described the ar
rest as follows: When Dew reached the
companionway he turned on Dr. Crippen
| and said:
Are YOU DR.. Crippen?"
! Crippen replied, Yes and Dew said:
You're arrested on charge of murder
and the mutilation of the body Of an
unknown woman"
Detective Mccarthy stepped forward
and snapped the handouts on the dem
lists wrists as a safeguard, even though
Crippen made no resistance. He ap-
peared dazed, and with 4 brief remark
that he was glad it was all over walked
quietly to the Captain's cabin.
Inspector Dews question Are YOU
DR.. Crippen?' was purely perfunctory.
for he had recognized his man instantly
Crippens face was clean shaven and
deatfy pale, and there was no resem-
biance in the huddled mp figure, with it's
scanty hair, thin eyebrows and no mus
tache, to the photograph of the doctor
that have been appearing lately The
only jaunty touch in his costume Was
light -colored necktie.
Detective Denis gave the most inter
esting account of how Miss Leneve was
trapped in her cabin. "As soon as Grip
pen had been taken in charge by Nc
Carthy,' he said. inspector Dow and
myself went to Cabin 3, where we were
Informed that Miss Leneve was reading
a nls gazine. Dew gave instructions for
a stewardess to stand ready with d glass
of brandy to be administered in case the
girl tainted: then he entered the cabin,
followed by myself
DO you recognize me-" he asked of
the girl, who rose to greet him.
NO she replied buntly, as the color
left her face.
Girl Colapses.
Well said he. 7 am a detective Of
Scotland Yard and I have here a war
rant for Your arrest on a charge of muir
der and nutilation of the body of an
unknown woman He used the same
words with which he had addressed
Crippen, taking them from the wording
of the warrant
The magazine fell from the girls
hand and she sank back on the sofa and
tainted. Then the stewardess entered at
a word from Dew and forced little of
the liquor between her lips Breathing
heavily, she lay back on the sofa, with
her eyes closed. She was not hand
cuffed.'
The girl was clad in Il boys suit of
brown material, but even in this i'll
fitting attire she showed signs of beauty
Her light brown hair is cut short and
parted IA the middle, after the English
boy fashion. Her eyes are gray and
large and heavily fringed, and her COM
plexion is clear. Her face is oval and
her expression winning Her eyes are
her most charming feature. She is short
in stature, but her shortness does not
detract from her physical winsomeness
IT was more than four hours after she
faced the detective that the girl was
able to sit up. Even then her condition
was pitiful, and no one saw her except
the ship surgeon and the stewardess. At
times her means could be heard in the
passageway outside her cabin. After
satisfying themselves that there was no
weapon in her room the officers did not
return until she was instructed to pre-
pare for leaving the vessel at Quebec.
Crippen was attired IN Il travelling
suit Of blue serge and tweed overcoat
Gold trimmed eyeglasses rested on his
nose, and from behind them his eyes
looked out duly. His face was pale and
drawn.
In a belt strapped about his waist the
detectives found five diamond rings and
a diamond pin II it can be proved that
these Jewels belonged to the prisoners
wife the police think they viii have gone
far toward establishing their hypothesis
of murder on firm basis. Careful
search of his person revealed no weapon
Of any sort. nor did his cabin disclose
any
PASSENGERS Get the News.
With both man and woman under ar
rest, the Mcntrose's whistle sounded
hoarsely, a signal to the waiting Eureka
that Inspector Dcw's search was at
end Immediately the pilot boat came
alongside, and the newspaper men and
photographers swarmcd aboard. Grip
pen they found Handcuffed in his state
