long sought man and woman had Deeh
arrested on board the steamer mont
rose when the vessel laid to off Father
Point 10 take on a pilot. 1t was known
that the steamer would be due here
after midnight and early in the even
ing crowds began TO gather at the pier:
As the night advanced the CROWD
grew greater until the police fouhH
they had a big Job on their hands to
restrain the curious ones and SO per-
nit the landing Of Inspector Dew ana
his prisoners.
Excitement Grows Intense.
When the steamer was sighted down
the harbOr the excitement was intense
and the police, who up to that time had
used moral suasiOn. assumed more
determined attitude finally pushing
back the throng from the gangWay IN
10 gentle manner
When the boat swung into her pier
Crppon was stllin cabin No. 8, in which
he was confined yesterday With him
vas Detective Denis. Miss LeneVe was
under close watch Of Chief Mccarthy
in cabin No. 5. Throughout the night
Inspector Dow had passed from one
cabin TO the other, not for one moment
relaxing the watch on the prisoners
who once slipped through his fingers.
A half hour before the landing the
prisoners were told that they were now
nearing Quebec. Both had been under
the greatest strain for hours and
showed increased restlessness. Crippen
who had been attempting to read
novel. tossed the book aside and drop
ped his head in his hands in the same
despairing attitude that he assumed
yesterday forenoon when he heard the
Hateful words:
In the name of the king l arrest
YOU"
Miss Leneve III.
At the same time, Miss Leneve, in
her quarters in another part Of the
vessel, fell on her knees and gazed out
Of the port hole into the blackness of
the night. Suddenly she turned back
into her room and was seized with a
fit Of coughing. 1t was a nervous
co gh that racked her, and the nerves
Of her guard and the physician who
had ministered to her physical need
from the time that she collapsed fol-
| lowing her arrest.
The bells which indicated that the
steamer was being reduced to half
speed were rung and the prisoners
| looked anxiously toward their Captors
the shore that had refused them
refuge but wondering what the next
| hour would bring them.
At l 80 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.
as though realizing they had reached
| with Crippen, whom he held by the
arm as they passed both main cabins
| in a round about direction. Crippen,
| his face white as death, walked in with
a stumbling gait. AS they passed the
stateroom which the doctor formerly
occupied with Miss Leneve, the door
of that room swung open and Detec-
tive Mccarthy half carried Miss Lee
neve out to the passageway.
Both Near Collapse.
Both prisoners were so near to
| physical collapse that they scarcely
glanced at each other. Miss Leneve
| tottered as she moved forward and
| hardly could have proceeded alone. On
| one side Mccarthy held her gently by
the arm, while on the other side she
was supported by a stewardess. The
woman wore a grey dress which had
been given her by the stewardess when
the boys clothing, in which she had
crossed the Atlantic, was taken from
| her. Over her hat a heavy veil had
| been thrown. But she scarcely needed
| the veil to hide her features, for her
head was so bent that no one could
| have seen her face.
On the way over from Antwerp the
face of Miss Leneve 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 d we'll matured woman who
| had suffered much.
| Dew led the way to the gangway, a
steward carrying a small suit case
marked u. Robinson" This was the
| only baggage which the two brought
| fra St1if
of clothing. Crippen wore the same
| brown suit and hat he did when he
| embarked at Antwerp, but those who
| had seen him then and saw him to-
day said that anxiety had given him
a facial disguise more effective than
any he had tried to assume. He is
smooth shaver.
AS they appeared on the gang
plank and caught sight of the enor-
| nous crowd that surged about the pier
| desperately determined to get a glimpse
at the pair, Crippen and the woman
would have fallen but for the arms
which supported them.
Crowd Almost Deceived.
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 the boyish
appearance which she had tried to
adopt, and many of the crowd were
fooled into thinking that the dimin-
utive figure was not that of the wom-
an who had challenged the attention
of two continents and believed the po-
lice were using a little boy disguised
as woman to distract the attention
of the crowd and so give them oppor-
tunity to remove the real prisoner
with less inconvenience.
The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot of the gang plank
| when the pushing crowd closed In
around 1t, and It was only after the
police had charged that they were able
to make a passage to the cab that
was waiting just outside of the pier
| shed.
Il When the officers found an openine
they half carried their charges to the
carriage, pushed them inside and in an
other moment the vehicle was clat-
tering along the wooden floor of the
pier and out snto the narrow street
that led to the provincial buildings.
Placed in Separate Cells.
The door of the provincial Jail stood
open, awaiting it's new guests and the
formalities necessary were quickly
over. Crippen was placed in a eel
smaller than the state room which he
and his typist had occupied on the
Montrose. More consideration was
shown to Miss Leneve. She was given
