had challenged the attention of two
continents and believed the police were
using little boy disguised as a woman
to distract the attention of the crowd
and so give them opportunity to re-
move the real prisoner with less incOn-
venience. The little procession had
scarcely reached the foot of the gang
plank when the pushing crowd closed
in around it and it was only after the
police had charged that they were able
to make passage to the cab that was
waiting just outside the pier shed.
When the officers found an oppor-
tunity. they half carried their charges
to the carriage. pushed them inside
and in another moment the vehicle
was clattering along the wooden floor
of the pier and out into the narrow
street that led to the provisional build
ings. The door of the provincial jail
stood open. waiting its new guests and
the formalities necessary were quickly
over. Crippen was placed in a cell
smaller than the state room which he
and his typist had occupied on the
steamer.
Sympathy for the Woman.
Every consideration was shown to
Miss Leneve. She was given a large
and comparatively comfortable room
on an upper floor This room had
a scrub woman employed in the Jail.
1t was at the request of this humble
servant of the public that the room,
better than any provided for prisoners,
was given to the little woman, who,
for love Of a man. has found herself a
fugitive from justice. The act appears
TO be typical of the feeling prevailing
here among a large part of Quebec's
population today. The public refuses
to put the woman in the same class
with the man
Early today throngs gathered out
side the TAIL in Of he q
pearance of the prisoners in court.
Next to the accused, the object of
the greatest public attention is In
spector Dew. The latter wore an air
this morning not noticeable before.
The successful conclusion of his mis-
sion has put new light in his face.
Nevertheless, the Scotland Yard
man knows that great responsibility
still rests on him. His prisoners have
been caught. but they are yet to be
safely returned to London. 1t is gem
orally believed that Dew has failed to
secure the hoped for confession. While
his immediate duty was to get his
man. to have obtained a confession
would have been a feather in the cap
of any detective.
Just how much Crippen knows of
the case against him is in doubt.
Whether he has learned that the Brit
ish authorities have been unable to
identify the dismembered body found
in the cellar OF his Hilldrop Crescent
home as that Of his actress wife is not
known. Without such identification,
lawyers say a conviction may be i'm
possible.
Kendall Had Their Pictures.
Dew has said that Crippen is q cow
ard Dew, however, has been mistaken
about Crippen before now. He was
mistaken when he accepted Crippens s
promise to remain in London.
Another hero today is Captain Ken
dali of the Montrose, who discovered
the identity of the suspects after they
had eluded the police of the other side
for eleven days. The captain said to-
day that he suspected Crippen the mo-
ment he laid eyes on him, shortly after
the man. boarded the steamer at Ant
werp on July 20.
THE English newspapers were full
of the case while we were on the other
