was received here today by wireless
from the steamer Montrcse: "Crippea

Passengers still in ignorance. Crippen

ing brought TO a trap from which
there is no escape save suicide. Elk.
treme precautions have been taken to
prevent any attempt at death on his
part. The most wonderful wireless
search for a fugitive the world has
ever seen. which began when the body
of Belle Elmore. Crippen's wife, was
found buried in the cellar of their
London home, is rapidly reaching its
climax and Crippen's race is nearly
run.
All doubt Of the presence of Grip
pen and his companion Ethel Clare
lie Neve, swept away by the wireless
messages received from Llewellyn
Jones, the lad who operates the Mar
conf instruments on the Montrose, the
Canadian police are lying in wait like
watchdogs at this little settlement on
the South shore.
Dew 10 Due Today.
With Inspector Dew of Scotland
Yard due here today, the local police
representatives were given the plan Of
action to transmit to him on his ar
rival on the liner Laurentic and the
same details were given on the wire
less for transmission to the Laurentic.
The plan for Dew's course was map
ped out yesterday by Col. Percy Sher-
wood, head of the Dominion police and
the Quebec attorney general at Mon
treal.
In this scheme was included the de-
parture of Dew from the White Star
liner at Father Point. in order that he
might hasten by rail to Quebec and
have his papers viewed by a Judge of
the court of the Kings bench. This
enables Dew to retrace his steps from
Quebec to Crosse Isle, where, at the
immigration station, the formal ar
rest of the suspects. REV. John Rob-
inson and son." is to be consummat-
ed.
The police here this morning said
that Dew might drop this plan, in
favor of going up to Frazerville, a
hundred miles east, where a qualified
judge could pass on the papers.
Whether Dew would wish to take the
chance OF missing connections in re-
turning here for the Montrose's arri-
val. or would choose to play safe and
60 to Quebec, would decide his final
course, they said.
Seek More Details.
Chief Constable Charles Gauvreau,
reinforced by Chief Mccarthy of the
Quebec provincial police and Chief
Denis Of Lewis, this morning scarcely
left the room Of the wireless operator
for moment. Every effort was
made to secure further details of the
Montrose.
The fog which yesterday began to
check the progress of the Montrose
as she forged ahead was today held
responsible by the authorities for the
failure to secure more detailed &C.
count.
The weather also tended to upset
the arranged plans to a certain extent
by making the arrival Of the Lauren
tic, now far ahead Of the Montrose,
problematical.
Throughout the surrounding coun-
try, word Of the great mystery has
spread and the prospect of Crippen's
capture here has drawn a curious
throng from farms and fishing villages
in q radius Of many miles The popu-
lation Of this village is today almost
double the normal:
With the arrangements Of the fifty
or so newspapermen on hand and the
police. there Is not q power boat in
the nearby waters that has not been
chartered and the swiftest oarsmen
are getting offers that to them seem
fabulous. Even yesterday the excite
ment over the race to flash the news
Of the climax TO the world was In
tense; this morning It was increased
ten fold.
