seen delay. it will be known by noon to-
morrow whether DR. Hawley Harvey
Crippen and his stenographer, Ethel
Clare Leneve are aboard TIE steamship
Montrose Tonight the vessel is fore
ing her way through a storm up the ST.
Lawrence River, nearing this point,
where Inspector Dew. of Scotland Yard,
waits impatiently with handouts, ready
to Chamber aboard and arrest the man
whom he believes to be the American
dentist. fugitive from justice, charged
with the murder in London OF his ac-
tress wife, Belle Elmore
The hour at which the Montrose Will
reach Father Point depends upon the
weather she encounters. Early TINS al
ternoon, Captain Kendall sent wireless
word that he expected to be here by .
a m. Sunday, but later storm came
down the river and 1t seemed unlikely
that the steamer would make as good
time as her skipper expected. The YES
sci was well within the mouth of the
river tonight. however. and in easy
touch with the wireless stations between
here and fame Point. The run from here
to Quebec usually occupies between
twelve and fourteen hours, and if the
police carry out their programme as
planned they will land the pair at Que
bee before 8 o'clock Sunday night.
Inspector Dew got in touch with the
Montrose again about 10 o'clock, and al
though he would not say what messages
he received, he seemed relieved by the
news The inspectors greatest fear IS
that Crppen may recognize him before
he gets aboard the Montrose.
Dew said tonight that he had ar
ranged to be put aboard the Montrose
alone by a small boat from the pilot
boat. others who board the steamer
here will go on from the pilot boat in the
regular way.
If there is no hitch in arrangements
and identification, the prisoners will be
kept in Jail at Quebec until Monday
morning when they will be arraigned
before Judge Panet Angers, a Quebec
police magistrate. And unless Crippen
shows unusual resourcefulness the Ca
madam police expect to place him in the
hanGe of Inspector Dew on the same
Gay to be taken back to England on
the next steamship. sailing from Quebec
ON Thursday. AS proceedings will be
held under the fugitive offenders act,
extradition proceedings will be unneces-
Sary.
Even though sought as a criminal,
Crippen if arrested, is not to be
deserted by Frederick NJ Ryder. the
American Consul at Rimouski, near
here. Mr. Ryder held a conference with
the Canadian officers yesterday. and this
afternoon came to Father Point to see
Inspector Dew. He said that he eX-
pected to return tomorrow in time to
meet the Montrose, and perhaps go
aboard her with the detectives. He has
no intention of interfering with the ac-
tion Of the Canadian authorities, now
ever, and foresees no emergency that
will make his presence necessary. AT
the same time he considers 1t his duty
to be on hand in case Crippen considers
that his rights as an American cltlzen
are being infringed, and to advise him
concerning his privileges. In any event,
his presence on the spot Will obviate de-
Law in case the doctor demands a consul.
Suspected Passengers Unsuspicious.
Fog and thunderstorm tonight inter-
rupted wireless communication between
the Montrose and the local station, but
during the day a dispatch was received
here from Lew Jones. the Marconi
operator aboard. while in Montreal there
was printed another message, signed by
Cantain Kendyll The message from
Jones follows;
July so, "a m.-The Montrose is now
abeam of Heath Point. Anticosti Island.
Regarding your wireless, nothing of i'm
portance has happened yet. Stopped in
dense fog off Belle Isle Thursday night.
SUSPECTS more retiring than ever.
No arrests have been made, and they
are still unsuspicious of observation
The weather is bright and clear.
LEV JONES,
"Marconi operator, Montrose."
The message from Captain Kendall
read as follows:
IS. S. Montrose. July 80. via Father
Point.-The supposed Crippen was on
deck early, looking at Belle Isle. He had
a worried look and paced the deck like
one in thought. The supposed Miss Le-
neve was in her room all day. She wears
gloomy expression. We stopped in the
fog last night. The suspects said they
did not sleep. Miss Leneve does not
smile or laugh. Both appear haggard
I will send another wireless tomorrow
Kendall Commander
For more than a week ever since the
Montrose's skipper flashed to the world
his opinion that the suspects aboard
were Dr.. Crippen and Miss Leneve,
this hamlet, one hundred and sixty miles
east of Quebec has been keyed to high
tension. This was heightened last night
by the arrival of Inspector Dew. upon
whom rests the responsibility Of identifi-
cation. The inspector showed the strain
he was under by spending most Of his
time to-day beside the wireless operator
