Montreal. July 3O.-(Special )-Uncon- scious that their every movement IS known to the world, utterly ignorant that they are subjected to the closest scruti- ny, the supposed Qr. H. Fl. Crippen and his companion, who is thought to be Ethel Leneve, are drawing nearer and nearer their arrest. Within 12 hours the two will be in the hands of police. to whom they must prove that their identity is real
 Never before in the annals of criminal history has the wireless telegraph sys- tenn played so elaborate and cunning and romantic part as 1t has played in the Crippen case. Whether "Mr. Robinson and son. who are nearing port on the Montrose are really tho accused wife murderer and his stenogranher, or wheth- CT they will be able to satisfy the police of their innocence, remains to be seen
 Isolated with others upon shipboard they did not know that the captain of their ship was in constant communication with detectives on shore. They don't know their Identity Is questioned nor do they know that elaborate preparations have been made by the police to receive them. They might as well be within the heart of policed city for all the security that shipboard has meant to them. as All the World Waiting
 And while they are dwelling in ignor- anoe two continents are buzzng as to their doings. The people of all nations know when they arise fin the morning, when they are together, what they do and how they spend their time.
 While the Montrose is stean1ing to port, Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, also upon shipboard knows of their doings The police inspector is in as close touch with the suspected couple as though he were upon the same ship with them It is expected that the supposed Dr. Grip pen and his companion will be placed under arrest tomorrow when the Mont rose arrives at Father Point. Inspector Dew said today that he was absolutely certain that MT. Robinson" and the boy accompanying him are no other than Dr. Crippen. the alleged murderer of Bella Elmore, and Ethel Leneve. Inspector Dew, on board the Laurentic, has been in close wireless communication with Captain Kendall of the Montrose
 Captain Kendall says that the two sus- poets are spending more and more time In their cabin and scarcely appear upon the deck at all Aside from the wire less operator. Captain Kendall and two others on the Montrose. no one on the ship knows that the couple are suspect ed of being Dr. Crippen and the wanted stenographer.
 Dew May Re Mistaken
 The supposed Crippen will be greatly surprised when Inspector Dew boards the Montrose and confronts them. But the supposed Crippen's surprise will not be fraction of the amazement which In- spector Dew will show if he finds that he has been upon a wild goose chase.
 There have been heavy fogs over tho North Atlantic coast and 1t is possible that the Montrose may be delayed. Cap tain Kendall has been warned by Dew to watch the couple more and more close ly as the ship approaches port.
 If nothing unforeseen happens the Montrose will reach Father Point be- tween and o'clock tomorrow morning. She Is scheduled to arrive at Quebec about o'clock in the afternoon. Inspector Dew was not so fast in guard ing his identity as the couple on the Montrose The passengers soon learned that the keen London business man" was Scotland Yard seuth and his work has been somewhat hindered by the per- sistent curiosity of his fellow passen- gers.
