At the same time Miss lie Neve, In
her quarters in another part of the ves-
sci. fell on her knees and gazed out OF
the portfolio into the blackness of the
night Suddenly she turned back into
her room and was seized with At of
nervous coughing.
The bells that indicated that the
steamer was being reduced to half
speed. stopped and backed, sounded
through the ship, and the prisoners
looked anxiously toward their captors,
as though realizing that they had
reached the shore that had refused
them a refuge. but wondering what the
next hour would bring them.
At 1870 o'clock Captain Kendall came
down from the bridge and notified In
spector Dew that in a few minutes his
passengers would be taken ashore. Dew
notified Mccarthy and Denis. Present

with Crippen. whom he held firmly by
the arm as they passed not up the

walked with shambling gait. AS they
passed the stateroom which the doctor
had formerly occupied with Miss lie
Neve the door of that room swung
open and Detective Mccarthy led or
rather half carried Miss LIE ,Neve out
to the passageway. Both prisoners
were so near to physical collapse that
they scarcely glanced at each other.
The woman wore a gray dress which
had been given her by the stewardess
when the boys clothing in which she
had crossed the Atlantic were taken
from her. Over her hat heavy veil
had been thrown.
On the way over from Antwerp the
face of Miss lie Neve had appeared
too pretty for that of a boy. A half
hour after she had been placed in
custody her features appeared to be
rather those of a well-matured woman
who had suffered much.
Inspector Dew LeaGs Party.
Dew led the way to the gangplank,
steward carrying a small suitcase
marked u. Robinson" This bag was
the only baggage which the two
brought with them. Neither had an
extra suit of clothing. .Crippen wore
the same brown suit and hat that he
did when he embarked at Antwerp,
but those who had seen him then ana
saw him today said that anxiety had
given him q facial disguise more ef-
fective than any he had tried to as
sumo He is smooth shaven.
As they appeared on the gangplank
and caught sight of the enormous
crowd that surged about the pier des-
perately determined to get a glance
at the pair, Crippen and the woman
would have dropped in their tracks but
for the strong arms which supported
them. Crippen's manacled hands swung
loosely in front of him. Miss lie Neve
swayed from side to side.
The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot of the gangplank
when the pushing crowd closed in and
1t was only after the police had
charged that they were able to make
passage to the cab that was wait
ing just outside the pier shed. When
the officers found an opening they
rushed. half-carrying their charges to
the carriage, pushed them inside and
in another moment the vehicle was
gathering along the wooden floor of the
pier and out into the narrow street that
led to the Provincial building.
The door of the provincial Jail stood
open. waiting it's new guests. and the
forma1ities necessary were quickly over.
rrippen was placed in a cell smaller
than the stateroom which he and his
typfst had occupied on the Montrose.
Early today throngs gathered outside
the Jail waiting for the appearance Of
the prisoners in court. Next to the ac
cused, tie object OF the greatest public
attention is Miss LIE Neve
Crippen Made No Statement.
Just how much Crippen knows of the
case against him is In doubt. Whether
he has learned that the British euthori-
ties have been unable to identity the
dislnembered body found is not known
Without such identification, lawyers
say that a conviction may be mpossi-
lie. Dew has said that Crippen was
coward. Whether or not the doctor is
coward, the well-arranged and dra
matte surprise which was given HIM did
not frighten any statement out of him
that might later be used against him.
Another hero today is Captain Ken

the Identity of the suspects. The cap
