Father Point, p O., July 30.-The
man who holds the key to the Grip
pen case, Inspector Dew Of Scotland
Yard arrived here yesterday after
noon from London on the steamer
Laurentic and is waiting there to UNI
lock the secret the steamship Mont
rose will bring to Father Point to-
morrow. Dew is the British police
officer who made an examination of
DR.. Hawley H. Crippen's home In
London after the disappearance of the
doctors actress wife Belle Elmore. He
made an appointment TO meet Grip
pen later but before the date arriv-
ed, the cellar OF the Crippen house
had been found to contain the re-
mains of woman and DR.. Crippen
was fugitive hunted by the police
of two continents.
Passengers on the Laurentic say
that Dew guarded his identity from
them until Thursday, when bonn
bardment OF wireless queries revealed
the fact that he was aboard He was
on the passenger list as "Dewhurst,"
and when he found that he was
known he withdrew from among his
fellow passengers and refused to an
swer questions bearing on the Grip
pen case. The fact that Inspector
Dew sought out Chef Mccarthy Of
the Quebec police at Father Point
seems to indicate that the provincial
officers and not the Dominion authori-
ties will arrest Crippen II he is
aboard the Montrose.
The Montrose will enter the broad
mouth OF the ST Lawrence today and
should arrive at Father Point tomor-
row afternoon. She is due AT Quebec
early Monday morning. Inspector
Dew and Chief Mccarthy visited the
local wireless station last night 10
make sure that the restrictions plac-
ed by the government upon wireless
communications with the Montrose
were regarded. The police say that
the couple aboard the vessel do not
yet know that they are under suspic
ion and that every precaution is be
ing taken TO prevent their getting
wind OF the elaborate preparation tc
receive them.
