TRIP OF THE INSPECTOR
Two Messages from London De
livered to the Prisoners
at Quebec.

Quebec. Aug 5-Confict between IN
spector Dew, of Scotland Yard and the
Quebec provincial authorities may follow
the action of the latter to-day in discon-
tinuing a privilege which the inspector
heretofore has enjoyed-that of supervts-
ing the delivery Of cable messages to Dr.
H. H. Crippen and Ethel Leneve. This ao-
ton was taken to-day during the absence
from the city of Inspector Dew.
It was learned by Premier Gouin that
two messages. one addressed to Cr1ppen
and the other to Miss Leneve were held
al the jail. not to be delivered until the
inspector could first censor them. Orders
were at once issued to Mr.. NORM gov
ernor of the jail. TO deliver the messages
to the prisoners at once. The inspector
will probably return here tomorrow morn
ing.
There seems to be a disposition on the
part of the local authorities to resent the
prerogatives which the Scotland Yard man
has assumed.
The messages delivered to the prisoners
tonight were supposed to be from friends
in London. That these friends continue
their interest was shown to-day by the
receipt al the local telegraph Offices of in
structions from London to accept from
Crippen and Miss Jeneve messages to be
paid for by the receivers in England.
The papers under which DR. Crtppen and
his fellow prisoner are to be released from
Canadian custody at the end of the fifteen
days prescribed by law were forwarded to
Ottawa. to-day 10 be signed. Governor
General Earl Grey and Chief Justice Fitz-
patrick Of the Supreme Court, being alb
sent, the documents will be forwarded to
Murray Bay for the signature of Associate
Justice Girouard, of the Supreme Court.
The absence from Quebec of Inspector
Dew. who arrived in Toronto to-day and
went thence TO Niagara Falls, Is believed
to be caused by his desire to get his prts-
oners out of the country with the least
publicity The Scotland Yard detective has
tntinated that he would SO manage affairs
that the excitement which marked his
coming TO Canada would not be repeated
when the party reached England
Nobody except those Immediately con-
cerned," Dew is quoted as saying, will
know on what steamer we leave or when
land on the other side
This has been accepted by the neWspap per
men as something of a challenge and has
aroused special interest in the Inspector s
doings. It is supposed that he is now visit
ing steamship and railroad officers to ascer-
tain how the trip back to England may be
sccornp lished in the most secretive manner.
While the British officers could put their
prisoners on board a steamer within two
miles of the Jail where they are now con-
fined and land hem in Liverpool, they
might also take the doctor and Miss Leneve
by train to St. John or Halifax. both
Canadian ports or they might put them
aboard tug here and transfer them to
liner at some point along the 500-mile
stretch in the St. Lawrence River, between
Montreal and the mouth.
There is also interest to-day in the seem
ing understanding between DR.. Crippen and
Miss Leneve, made during their flight re-
garding what either should say or not say
IN the event Of their arrest. According to
their custodians neither has mentioned the
other.
Judge Anglers. who examined DR.. Crippen
last Monday said to-day he expected no
further legal action In the case until Ser
geant Mitchell of Scotland Yard. arrives
from London next week with the papers
applying for the extraditlon. Mitchell will
hand the papers to Judge Anglers. and the
presence of the prisoners Will not be neceS-
sary on this occasion.
Miss Leneve Is reluctant to receive any
callers Church of England clergyman
who visited the jail and asked TO see the
girl received the reply that she did not
wish 10 see any one.
