Wlue scope began at nrSt IN LonuoH dht
then through France and continental
points and irally In America. Man,
false clews were followed to fruitles'
end. DIR. Crippen and his typist appeared
to have vanished completely.
l. Police descriptions were cabed through
out the world One circumstance of the
flight proved to be most important, name
ly, DR.. Crippen purchased a suit Of boy
clothes, evidently for Disgusting MS com
panion as a boy in their flight.
The first real clew came on the sailing
of the Canadian steamer Montrose from
Antwerp on July 20. A couple OF strange
4 appearance took hasty passage on the
I steamer two hours before it sailed Ihey
gave the names of Rev. John Robinson
and John Robinson, Jr.,' said TO De
father and son.
Passengers Picked Out
Two days out Captain Kendall of the
Montrose had his passengers picked out.
! He became conviced that the younger
| Robinson was woman and then that
| the pair were those for whom LONDON
and the outer world had been searching
in vain. BY wireless he communicated
his suspicious to Scotland Yard. min
ute description of the pair, sent by Wire
less to the ship at sea, confirmed Cap
tain Kendall's suspicious. The two were
kept under surveillance, but not under
arrest.
Then began the sensational detective
chase which eliminated yesterday. ln-
spector Dew, baked In his first attempt
to apprehend Crippen, hurried to Liver
pool, where he caught the White star
steamer Laurentic. She was faster than
the Montrose and both were headed for
the same destination. The Laurentlc
overlook and passed the Montrose at sea
and two days ago Inspector Dew landed
at Father Point one of the remote out
posts on the st. Lawrence and awaited
his quarry. Meantime the wireless has
been busy in furthering the work of de-
lection, SO that the identity Of the pair,
DR.. Crippen and Miss Leneve, became
practically assured as the Montrose drew
near the waiting officers.
Description of Arrest
A witness to the arrest gave out the fol-
lowing:
when Dew reached the companionway
he turned on DIR. Crippen and said Are
you DR.. Crippen?" Crippen replied, Yes.
| and Dew said, You're arrested on a
charge of murder and the mutilation of
| the body of an unknown woman.
| Detective Mccarthy stepped forward
and snapped the handcuffs on the dent
| lists wrists a safeguard even though
Crippen made no resistance.
Inspector Dew's question, are you DR..
Crippen?' was purely perfunctory for he
had recognized his man instantly"
| Crippen's face was clean shaven and
deathly pale and there was no semblance
| in the huddle-up figure with it's scanty
| hair, thin brows and no mustache to the
| photos of the doctor that have been APP
pearig lately. The only iaunty touch
| in his costume was a light colored neck
/ tie.
Detective Denis gave the most interest

trapped in her cabin. LAS soon as Grip
pen had been taken in charge" he said.
Inspector Dew and I went to cabin five
where we found Miss Leneve reading a
magazine. Dew gave Instructions for a
stewardess to stand ready with a glass
of brandy, then he entered the cabin fol-
| lowed by myself.
| DO you recognize me?" he asked.
No. she replied bluntly, as the color left
| her face.
Miss Leneve Faints
WELL said he, 4 am a detective of
Sctland Yard and have here warrant
| for your arrest on a charge of murder
| and multilation of the body of an I'M
| known woman. He used the same words
with which he had addressed Crippen
| taking them from the wording of the war
rant. The magazine fell from the girls
hands and she sank back on the sofa in
a word from Dew and forced little OF
the liquor between her lips. Breathing
| heavily she lay bacb on the sofa with her
eyes closed. She was not handcuffed."
The girl was clad In a boys suit OF
brown material but even in this Ill
| fitting attire she showed some OF the
beauty that the police believe led Grip
pen TO turn against his wife Her light
brown hair is cut short and parted In
| the middle after the English fashion
! Her eyes are gray and large and heavi-
| ly fringed, and her complexion clear
| Hor face is pleasingly oval and her ex-
preston winning. Her eyes are the
most charming feature. She is short In
| stature, but her shortness Is not over
plump and does not detract from her
physical winsomness.
| II was more than four hours after
she faced the detective that the girl
| was able to sit up. Even then her
| condition was pitiful, and no one saw
her except the surgeon and the stew
ardess. At times her means could be
heard in the passageway outside her
cabin. After satisfying themselves
that there were no weapons in the
room. the officers did not return until
she was prepared to leave the room.
In belt strapped about DIR. Crfppen S
waist the detectives found five diamond
rings and a diamond pin. II it can be
proved that this Jewelry belonged to
the prisoners wife, the police think
they will have gone far toward es-
tablishing their hypothesis of murder
on Arm basis. Careful search of his
person revealed no weapon of any sort
nor did his cabin disclose any.
