who holds the key to the Crippen case Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, arrived today from London on the steamer Lau- rentic and is awaiting here the unlocking Of the secret which the steamship Mont rose will bring here on Saturday.
 MT. Dew is the English 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 appoint ment to meet Crippen later. Before the date arrived the cellar of the Crippen house had unearthed the mutilated re- mains of a woman, and Dr. Crippen was . fugitive hunted by the police of two continents.
 Inspector Dew probably is the only man in America tonight qualified to say with certainty whether the two persons who sailed on the Canadian Pacific liner Mon trose from Antwerp on July 20, under the name of John Robinson and John Robin son, Jr, are pr. Crippen and his typist, Ethel Clare Leneve, respectively.
 Mir Dew will board the Montrose when she stops here to take on her river pilot. He will seek out the two persons on board whom the steamship captain be- lieves are Criypen and the woman Leneve. If he clinches the suspicious of the cap tain, the so-called Robinsons will be ar rested by the Canadian authorities, who have warrants charging Crippen with the murder of an unknown woman. His com panion will be held as an accessory.
 Confident of Capture
 Chief Mccarthy of the Quebec police, who met Dew here today, says he Is con- fdent that the suspicious of the Monsfose captain win prove correct and that from Quebec Crippen and Miss Leneve will be sent back to England for trial.
 The wireless station here resounded all day with messages beinc- exchanged be- tween the Canadian authorities, slhe Scot land Yard inspector and the captain of the Montrose.
 An immense amount of red tape had to be unrolled before the London de- tective could be landed here from the White Star liner Laurentic, on which he crossed the ocean. She arrived here shortly before o'clock this afternoon. Father Point has no quarantine and no customs inspector, but Capt Jean Bap- tste Belanger, of the tug which puts the pilots aboard incoming liners. directed orders from the quarantine and immigra- him to take Dew off.
 When the pilot boat left here at S:sO she carried two physicians especially au- thorized to inspect the incoming vessel and in addition three Canadian police officials. 20 newspapers men, photogra- phers and as many inhabitants of this little seacoast town as could crowd aboard When she steamed alongside the liner a mile from shore one of the freight hatches on the Laurentics lower deck was opened and Inspector Dew stepped aboard the smaller boat. It was the first time in the history of Father Point that a transatlantic passenger had been land ed here. Before the pilot boat was all lowed to leave the liners side, however, the two physicians spent 20 minutes aboard. but they found nothing to war rant detaining Dew
 Detective Dodees
 The long expected detective immediate ly lodged behind the Canadian police Sooos q am sworn to secrecy,' he said. q can not answer any of your questions" When the pilot boat landed Dew drove with the Canadian detectives to a boarding house, where they will stay until the ar rival of the Montrose.
 Passengers on the Laurentic say that Dew guarded his identity from them un- til yesterday, when bombardment of wireless inquiries revealed that he was on board 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 Crippen case.
 The fact that he sought out Chief Me- Carthy of the Quebec police here seems to indicate that the provincial and not the Dominion authorities will arrest Crip- pen if he is aboard the Montrose When Constable Charles Gauvreau of Rimouski, five miles from here, who has been au- thorized by the Dominion police to make the arrest presented his card to Dew the latter waived him aside, and the Rim ouski detective made no further ef1ort to approach him.
 Tho Montrose win enter the mouth of the St. Lawrence tomorrow and should arrive here Sunday, afternoon. She Is due at Quebec early Monday morning. Inspector Dew and Chief Mccarthy visit ed the local wireless station tonight to make sure that the restrictions placed by the government upon wireless communi- cation with the Montrose were regarded.
 Suspects in the Dark
 The police say the couple on the vessel do not vet know they are under surveil- lance, and every precaution is being made to prevent them getting wind of it.
 No private messages to the Montrose are received. and 1t is said the captain of the vessel exercises supervision over everything received. The police fear that if any of the passenger hear of the sus- picion regardinS the alleged Crippen the latter may learn of 1t. and the task of identifying and arresting him on Sunday will be made moro difficult By a com
