Kendall came down from the bridge ana
told Inspector Dew that In re" mo
ments his passengers would be TAKEN
ashore. Detective Denis soon came from
the cabin with Crippen, whom he neid
firmly by the arm.
Crippen. his face deathly white, walked
with a Rambling gait. AS they passed
the stateroom which the doctor had Tor
merly occupied with Miss Leneve the
door swung open and Detective McCaf-
thy led, or rather half carried, Miss Le-
neve out to the passageway.
Prisoners Nearly Collapse.
Both prisoners were in a state so near
to physical collapse that they scarcely
glanced at each other. Miss I1eneve tot
tered as she moved forward, and hardly
could have walked alone. On one side
Mccarthy held her gently by the arm,
while on the other side she was sup
ported by a stewardess.
The woman wore a gray gown, which
had been given her by the stewardess
when the boys clothes In which she had
crossed the Atlantic we're taken from
her. Over her hat a heavy veil had
been thrown, but she scarcely needed 1t
to hide her features. for she stopped de-
cidedly and 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 too pretty for that
Of a boy. half hour after she had oeen
placed in custody her features appeared
to be rather those of a woman who had
suffered much.
Dew led the way to the gangWay.

only luggage which the two brought
with them. Neither had an extra suit
of clothing. Crippen wore the same

he embarked at Antwerp, but those VINO

said that anxiety had given him a facial
disguise more effective than any which
he had tried to assume. His face was
smooth shaven and CHASTITY white.
AS they appeared on the gangplank
and caught sight of the enormous crowd
which surged about the pier Crippen
and the woman would have dropped ex-
cept for the strong arms which sup
ported them Crippen's manacled hands
swung loosely in front of him.
Miss Leneve swayed from side to side.
Her closely cut hair still gave her the
bovish appearance which she had tried
to adopt, and many of the crowd thought
the dlminutive figure that of a boy dis
guised as a woman to distract the atten-
ton of the crowd.
Police Drive Back Crowds.
The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot of the gangplank when
the crowd closed in around them, and 1t
was only after the police had charged
roughly that they were able to make d
passage to the cab that was waiting Just
outside the pier shed. When the officers
found an opening they rushed, half
carried. their charges to the carriage,
pushed them inside and in another mo-
ment the vehicle was Gathering along the
wooden floor of the pier and out into the
narrow street which led to the Proyin-
cial buildings.
The door Of the provincial Jail stood
OPEN awaiting its new guests, and the
fornalities necessary were quickly over
Crjppen was placed in a cell smaller
than the stateroom which he and his
typewriter had occupied on the Mont
rose More consideration was shown TO
Miss I.eneve. She had large and COM
naratively comfortable room on an upper
floor. This room had been fitted up for
the occupation of a scrubwonan en-
ployed in the jail, and 1t was at her re-
quest that the room was given to the
woman. The public here refuses to put
the woman in the same class with the
man.
1t is generally believed here that In
spector Dew has failed to obtain a con-
fession. This does not directly concern
the inspector His duty was to get his
man.
Interview with Captain Kendall.
Captain Kendall of the Montrose said
that he susr ected Crippen tbs niom.nt
he laid eyes on him. soon after the man
boa rded the steamer 1T Antwcrp.
The captain said:
