Inspector Dew, Hero.
Inspector Dew is resting after his
labors, an object of curiosity to resi-
dents and tourists that through this
queer old French city at this season,
and the envy and admiration Of the
local police.
A London dispatch says Miss Len
ewes relatives have retained counsel
there to defend Ier, but on this point
the police have received no official no
tice. The court proceedings so far
as Crippen was concerned closed to-
day with the order of the court re-
manding him. Crippen seemed ut
terly discouraged, but SO far as can
be ascertained he has let nothing slip
that can be used against him when
he comes up for trial. Police, follow
ing the wishes Of Inspector Dew, de-
clare they are making no effort to OBJ
tain confessions, and are not subject
ing either Of the prisoners to anything
approaching "the third degree"
Such efforts would be contrary to
British police methods.
Talks of the crew and other mem
bers of the Montrose throw other in
teresting sidelights on the action of
the pair on the voyage from Antwerp.
Dominick Keen, the steward, who
looked after the state room, said.
"John Robinson, Jr."
Il was one of the first to discover,
by her neat methods in her room, her
way Of walking and effeminate figure
that "JOhn Robinson, Jr.," was a wo-
man. Then we discovered that the
labels had been taken from all their
clothes; that the lining had been torn
from the younger Robinson's hat and
soon Capt. Kendall was convinced
that he had the fugitives aboard. The
pair spent most of their time in the
cabin and Stunned the other passeng-
ers as far as POSSIBLE
Alfred Smith, the dining room
steward, told how Cripnen had man
oeuyred to keep Miss Leneve seated
by him at the table. He said Crippen
had asked for seats at the captain 5
table, side-by-side and next to the
i wall, so that no one could sit beside
Miss Leneve other than himself. my
boy is a little deaf" he told the stew
ard, and after some argument sue
ceeded in getting the desired seats.
In this way he prevented any pas
sengers engaging the girl in conversa-
ton at the table and betraying her sex
by her voice.
Arthur Homer, of Montreal, one of
the few English speaking passengers
aboard, came perhaps in closer contact
with the pair. Crippen used to send
him magazines and they often talked
together when Miss Leneve was not
present, although Crippen was careful
not to reveal much Of his past history.
Homer says Crippen and Miss LeneVe
used to drink on an average Of three
bottles of beer a day, and that he had
thought it strange that father
should allow young son to touch in
toxicants.
The Tell-Tale Safety Pin.
1t seems that in the rush and hustle
of departure from Antwerp, Crippen
and Miss Leneve escaped observation
until the following morning, when the
third officer saw them walking to-
gether on deck. His attention was i'm
mediately attracted by the short steps
taken by the younger Of the two and
her girlish voice.
Il continued to watch them," con-
! tinued the third officer, J. Mowatt, 'as
my suspicious increased and then a
sudden gust of wind caught the coat
covering the smaller figure and lifted
it in the air. Underneath I saw a
large safety pin fastening her trous-
ers to her vest, q thing no normal man
would think Of doing. l reported the
matter to Capt. Kendall, and it was
not long before he had sent his mes
sage saying that CriDpen and Miss
Leneve were aboard
Girl Also Willing to Return.
Although too i'll to appear in court,
the questions prescribed by law were
put to Miss Leneye as she sat weakly
in a chair at home OF Chief Mccarthy,
of the provincial police. AS Crippen
had said at his arraignment earlier in
the daV she too eYinced Willin1n eSS
