BOTH FOUND IN DISGUISE
Continued from Page one,

the steamer today his greatest fear
was that Crippen and the girl, when
they found themselves discovered,
would commit suicide.
The small army of American, Cana
dian and European correspondents who
had been waiting at Father Point to
see the end of one of the most eXCit-
ing man hunt in police history, arose
at dawn today, but Dew and the other
detectives were up before them. From
the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 100 miles
away, a fog had rolled up the river
and it was impossible to see more than
fifty yards. But the wireless had pene-
trated the mist bringing word that the
Montrose was only thirty miles dis
tant. She had felt her way carefully,
and it was 7:10 a. m. before her funnel
was discernible down the river. AT
that time the fog had lifted little,
but it was still dense enough to aid
admirably the purpose of the detec-
tives, which was to get aboard without
arousing the suspicious of the couple
they hoped to arrest.
WOMAN Is PRETTY
Detective Dennis gave the most in
teresting account of how Miss LeneVe
was trapped in her cabin:
"As soon as Crippen had been taken
in charge by Mccarthy" he said, IN
spector Dew and myself went to cabin
No 5, where we were informed that
Miss Leneve was reading a magazine.
"Dew gave instructions for stew
ardess to stand ready with glass OF
brandy to be administered in case the
girl tainted, then he entered the cabin,
followed by myself.
DO you recognize me" he asked
the girl, who rose to greet him.
"'No,' she replied buntly, as the
color left her face.
"'Well, said Dew. 4 am detective
of Scotland Yard, and 1 have here a
warrant for your arrest
"The magazine fell from the girls
hand and she sank back on the sofa in
a faint Then the stewardess entered
at word from Dew and forced little
liquor between her lips.
1.-THE girl was clad in a boys suit of
brown material, but even in this i'll
fitting attire she showed some of the
beauty that the police say led Crippen
to murder his wife. Her light brown
hair is cut short and parted in the
middle after the English boy fashion
Her eyes are gray and large and
heavily fringed, and her complexion is
clear. Her face is pleasingly oval ana
her expression winning"
It was more than four hours after
she faced the detective that the girl
was able to sit up. Even then her
her except the ship surgeon and the
stewardess.
DENY CONNECTION WITH CRIME
Although neither Crippen nor the
pretty typist denied their identity
neither admitted any connection with
the London murder, Neither Inspec-
tor Dew nor the Canadians who made
the arrest tried to get any incriminat-
ing admissions from the couple Such
efforts are contrary to British law, and
the prisoners volunteered no lnforma-
ton.
Crippen was attired in a travelling
suit Of blue serge and tweed over
coat Gold-rimmed eyeglasses rested
on his nose, and from behind them his
eyes looked out DULY. His face was
pale and drawn.
With both under arrest, the Mont
roses whistle sounded hoarsely, a sig
nal 10 the waiting Eureka that In
spector DeW's search was at an end.
Immediately the pilot boat came along
side and the newspaper men and pho
tographers swarmed aboard. Crippen
was handcuffed in his stateroom, No.
8, and Miss LeneVe under the care
Of a physician, in No. 5,
The news by this time had spread
among the passengers who had been
duped throughout the voyage by the
bogus clergyman and MS retrlng ell
Terminate son.
CAPTAIN Kendall had kept from them
the identity of the two passengers, and
although the recent bombardment OF
wireless messages had aroused their
suspicious, none on board besides
Ilewellyn Jones, the wireless operator,
knew that the two were DR.. Grip
pen and his girl companion.
MURDER OF BELLE ELMoRE
The crime which had it's dramatic
denOuement today in the arrest OF DR..
Crippen and Ethel Claire LeneVe on
board the steamer Montrose is destined
to become one of the most notable IN
Ncriminal history. Not only the cir
SS1uastances Of the crime, but the re-
Tnarkable detective chase across the
Atlantic, with wireless telegraphy be-
ing used for the first time as decisive
factor in detection, and with the peo-
nle of Europe and America eagerly in
tent upon the quest, have combined to
make the case one Of extraordinary
interest.
The circumstances f the finding of
the mangled and burned body of Belle
Gilmore are Of recent occurrence, the
salient features being as follows:
DR.. Crippen and his wife, known by
the stage name Of Belle Gilmore, had
for the last two years occupied a house
at 80 Hilldrop crescent, North Lon
don. He was an American dentist,
born at ColdWater Mich, educated in
Indiana and pursuing medical studies
later in Mich am, California, Ohio and
New York city.
He had managed pat mt medicine
business in Philadelphia and in Colum-
bus, and had appeared as a specialist
n many other points-Detroit, San
Diego, Salt Lake City, st. Louis and
Brooklyn.
Belle Elmore was well known
vaudeville actress. about IS years Of
age, formerly Of Brooklyn. She was
an attractive woman and an officer Of
the Music Hail Artists Guild Of Lon
don.
with the Crippen pair at Hiudrop
Crescent lived Miss Leneya, a young
typist of French birth, who served as
amanuensis TO Dr. Crippen.
Mrs. Crippen disappeared from her
accustomed activities last February.
TO her friends Dr. Crippeu explained
that she had gone to California. Later
an advertisement appeared in the Lon
don ppers saying she had died in Cali
fornia But Belle Elmore's former ac-
tress friends in London and America
began to doubt Their inquiries led to
the belief that Mrs. Crippen had not
died i'm California, and suspicious We're
