Crippen was manacled, but showed
little concern, while his girl compan.

of the station-house.
When the steamer Montrose ar.

talked-of couple in the world to-day,
and this small crowd was disap-
pointed.
The officers hurried their prisoners
down the gangplank and into a wait
ing cab, and the darkness killed all
chances of getting a glance at the
pair.
Entering the cab with their charges
the party was whirled off to Par,
lament buildings and the prisoners
delivered into the safe-keeping of the
Quebec authorities.
Crippen was perfectly collected as
he was led to his cell, but Miss Le-
neve tainted and the matron and a
physician were summoned. She had
to be half carried down the gangway
with a detective on either side holding
her up, but she recovered somewhat,
only to collapse entirely as she was
being separated from Crippen.

his suspense and terror had been end

was frightened and in tears when the
arrest was made. Since she knows
that she is connected with the crime
in the eyes of the police, she seems
to have lost every vistige of self-con-
troll. The arrest was made by Chief
Mccarthy and Detective Dennie, after
the couple had been identified by In
spector Dew. Wrapped in a great
coat Crippen was standing on the low

eyes into the fog when Inspector Dew

$4,000 bail after confessing to defal-

on the verge of a physical collapse.
After writing out his confession Of

no attempt to conceal her identity, but
sat on the side of her birth weeping
bitterly. She collapsed utterly, be-
came hysterical and the doctor was
called and put in constant attendance
upon her. The examination of the
two, Crippen weary and resigned, the
woman weeping and only half con-
scious Of what she was saying, began
at once. Miss Leneve had concealed
in her boys suit a quantity of dia-
mond rings and other valuable Jewels.
Belle Gilmore, the wife of DR.. Crippen.
had many jewels.
Miss Leneve denied having any con-
nection with the crime. Just how far
Crippen went in explaining his con-
nection with the murder of his wife,
the police refuse to divulge, as the ex-
animation was brief and prelimin-
airy.
AS soon as the interview with the
authorities was over Miss Leneve put
on woman's garb for the first time
since she came aboard. Crippen was
SO exhausted that he threw himself on
his berth and fell into a heavy sleep
which resembled stupor.
When those on board this boat saw
a small craft put out from the shore
at Father Point and make for the
Montrose two men were pacing back
and forth on the lower derck. One
was in the uniform of the ships sur.
geon. 1t was DR.. Stewart. His COM
panion wore al ordinary looking gray
coat, was smooth shaver, lean and
wiry and extremely nervous. That
was Crippen. There seems to be a
good many pilots aboard that boat,
DOCTOR remarked Crippen. DR.. Stew
art shrugged his shoulders and an
swered earelessly, Eyes, there seems
to be about six" Crippen kept his
eyes on the pilto boat and watched
Inspector Dew come we the rail. AS
the Scotland Yard officer walked past
Crippen the detective nodded. This
was the signal to the Dominion police
that the long hunt was over. The Of
icers who had accompanied Dew then
did their part.

the saloons to close. 1t was quickly
apparent, however, that the situation

The rioting began near the village

First. the refusal of a negro to pay
an obligation for which a white farm

This was several days age. Later a
white man received notice that he
should perform road work under the
supervision of a negro. The white
mar refused. Later came reports Of
secret meetings among the negroes
and the confession of a negro that the
murder of the man in question, James
Spurger, and his family, was planned.
The situation reached a climax when
q negro was discovered advancing on
Spurger, armed with a shotgun. He
tracked and shot by a posse when
he refused to surrender. With the
shooting Of the negro those of both
races armed themselves and the riot.
