Week.

Quebec, Aug. canadian justice
moved swiftly in the case of DR.. Haw-
! ley Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneye
who is charged with the guilty
knowledge of an abominable crime"
who fed from the other side of the At
| lantic only to be caught before they
could put foot on the soil of the Do
minion. The steamer Montrose on
which the fugitives were arrested yes
terday arrived at the pier here at
1850 this morning. The prisoners
were hastened through an enormous
crowd of curious ones to the provin-
ciaI Jail, where they were placed in
! separate cells for the night here.
/ They got few hours of sleep and to-
day both prisoners appeared refresh
ed. The agony of suspense over, they
had fallen into that deep sleep that
denotes physical exhaustion. Judge
! Angers arranged to hold court at
! 1890 this morning. 1t is hoped that
! Crippen and his typist can be sent
! back to London on the steamer Royal
George which sails on Thursday. The
! landing Of the prisoners was a dram
attic scene. AS they appeared on the
gang plank in charge of the officers
! and caught sight of the enormous
| crowd that surged about the pier des-
perately determined to see the pair,
Crippen and the woman would have
! fallen but for the arms which support
| ed them.
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard,
Chief McCarty, Detective Dennis of
the Province were dressed to look like
the fourth occupant of the pilot boat,
the real pilot Dew, however, did not
make a good pilot, and his disguise
was hardly more effective than that
of it's quarry The English officers
could not Chamber up the ships ladder
with a sailors agility and he all but
apset the little boat when ne left it.
( The announcement was simple. The
recognition between Dew and Crippen
was mutual and immediate. When he
reached the companionway and at last
| faced the man whom he had long
sought, the inspector said: Are you
DR.. Crippen?" to this Crippen replied
quietly, Il am" Dew continued: You
are arrested on the charge of murder
woman" Dew then nodded to Nc
earthly and the latter clasped pair
of handouts on Crippens wrists. The
prisoner made no resistance. In fact,
he appeared relieved and as he turned
with the officers said: Il am glad. The
! suspense was too great" Telling of
the arrest of Miss Leneve in her state
room, Detective Dennis siad: "No
handouts were used on the woman,
and none will be. She tainted at the
shock of the arrest but was quickly
restored"
A Pathetic Scene.
Crippen's manacled hands swung
loosely in front Of him, Miss Leneve
swayed from side to side. Her close
ly cut hair still gave her a boyish ap-
pearance which she had tried to adopt
and many of the crowd were fooled
into thinking the diminutive figure
was not that of the woman who had
challenged the attention of two con-
, tinents, and believed the police were
using the little boy disguised as a
woman to distract the attention of the
crowd and give them an opportunity
! to remove the real prisoners with less
inconvenience.
| The little procession had scarcely
! reached the foot of the gang plank,
when the crowd closed in and it was
only after the police had charged that
they were able to make passage to
the waiting cabs. The prisoners half
carried by officers, were pushed inside
the carriage and in another moment
the vehicle was Gathering out into
the narrow street that led to the pro-
vincial buildings The door of the Jail
stood open waiting its new guests and
the necessary formalities were soon
over. Crippen was placed in cell
smaller than the stateroom which he
and his typist had occupied On the
Montrose. More consideration was
shown Miss Leneve. She was given
a large and comparatively comfortable
room on the upper floor. This had
been fitted up for the occupancy OF
the scrub woman employed at the jail
1t was at the request of this humble
servant of the public that THIS room,
better than any provided for prison
ers was given the little woman, who
for the love of man has found her
self fugitive from justice. The act
appears to be typical of the feeling
among a large part of Quebec's popu-
lation today. The public refuses to
: put the woman in the same class with
the man. Just how much Crippen
knows of the case against him is in
doubt. Whether he has learned that
the British authorities have been un-
able to identify the dismembered body
