GA!ZMLY CRIPPEN, | WANT YOU.” . SAID INSPECTOR DEW. ~ End of Cue of the Most Sensational Flights in " Recent Criminal Annals SCOTLAND YARD MAN IN PILOT’S GARB Boarded the Canadian Facific Liner Montrose at Father Foint Early Sunday Morning, Walking Directly to the Fugitive Dentist, Who Was Standing Ey the Rail Talking With the Ship’s Surgeon—Miss Leneve, the Dentist’s Sten-grapher, Still Dressed as a Ecy, Feound in i er Stateroom—Crippen Ercken in Spirit While the Cirl is in FPitiable Condition. Father Poini, Que. July 31.—Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen and Bthel Clara Leneve, his stenographer, who fied from London after the disappear- ance of Belle Elmore, the doctor’s wife, were arrested here today aboard the Canadian Pacific liner Montrose at the command of Inspector Deéw of Scotland Yard Long Sought Fugitives Identified. The identification of the long sought fugitives on board the fog shrouded steamer by the Engl detective who had raced across the Atiantic ahead ©of the Montrose, marked the culmina- tion of one of the most sensatiomal flights in recent criminal annals. Ac- companied by two Canadian officers he boarded the vessel at 8.30 o'clock this morning and fifteen minutes later both man and girl were locked in their staterooms. Crippen broken in spirit but mentally relieved by the re- axed tension; the girl, garbed in hoy's clothes. sobbing hysterically. They were no longer the Rev. John Robinson and son as booked from Antwerp on July 20. Will Be Taken Back to England Next Thursday. After briet delay the Montrose con- tinued her 160-mile journey down the river towards Quebec. where Jjail awaited the pair. Crippen is charged with the murder of an unknown wo- man, believed to have been his aciress wife. The girl is held as an acces- sory. In charge of Inspector Dew they will be taken back to England, for trial. on the Roval line steamship Roy- al George. leaving Quebec next Thurs- aay. Sleepless Night at Wireless Operator’s Side. Seldom has there been a scene sur- rounding the pursuit of & criminal so pregnant with dramatic features as that enacfed off this little settlement this morning. , Inspector Dew had spent a sleepless’ night at the Mar- coni operator's side, communicating through the fog with the liner which bore the man and woman he sought. The man had deceived him in London by fleeing the city with the mystery of Belle Elmore's dissapearance un- solved and a strong personal feeling entered into the case, accentuating the detective’s desire to carry out the task set him by Scotland Yard. Arrival of the Montrose. At 430 a m. the approaching ship's whistle was heard above the bellowing 1e Father Point foghorn. Like a giant alarm clock it awakened the nervous villagers and the expectant newspaper men who dressed hastily and waited in a drizzling rain for the liner's arrival. The minutes and the Rours passed with tantalizing slow- ness. Inspector Dew’'s impatience in- creased. The rain continmued to fall, and the more ambitious residents, not to be denied the scene of capture. be- gan Atting out their-rowboats and var- ‘egated sailing craft ready to hasten to the liner's side immmedistely she ar- rived. Shortly after 7.30 o'clock the Montrose pushed her nose through the fog and at 8.15 the pilot boat Bureka set out from shore. She carriel a host of newspaper men and photographers and the more fortunate townspeople who were able to crowd aboard. But Inspector Dew was not among them. As a_precaution he had embarked on ihe Eureke's small tender, accompa- nied by Chief McCarthy of the Quebec police and ex-Chief Denis of the same city. Detective Dew Goes on Board. All wore the garh of pilots and over his florid face Inspector Dew had pull- ed a pilot's visered cap to hide his features from the man he sought. He 3id not wish Crippen to recognize him hefore he could approach and take ad- vantags of the only avenue of escape —suielde Four sailors quickly rowed the tender alongside the Montrose and Dew and his companions stepped on bhoard. Much Sought Man Standing by the R Crippen was_standing near the rail talking with Dr. rt, the ship’s surgeon, and attempiidz to appear calm. But that he was nervous was indicated by his furtive glances and his remark to Dr. Stuart. “There are three pilots coming aboard,” he said nervousiy. s not that unusual?’ The physician did not reply, but kept his eyes on the strangers, who walked rapidly toward them. “Crippen, I want you,” said Inspec- tor Dew. quietly, as he approached. Fugitive Recoiled at Sight of Officer. The dentist recoiled involuntarily as he recognized the man who addressed him_ then the blood left his face. his breath came short and fast and he zurglad incoherently. As he was being jed away to the captain's cabin,whither he was transferred later to his own statercom, he said gratefull “Thank God, the suspense is over and T am glad. Miss Leneve Cried Out Hysterically. Crippen’s _arrast accomplished, Dew hurried 1o Miss Leneve's stateroom, where he found her, still dressed as “John Robinson, Jr.,” on the verge of nervous breakdown. Her appearance whan confronted by the detective and told that she was under arrest was pit- fable. All control that she had fought #0 hard to retain throughout the voy- age left her. She eried out hysterical- 1y and became =o faint that restora- tives were administersd. Shat in her room snd restored to woman's dress, <he wae closely guarded as the vessel continued its journey for fear she would take hef life or collapse utterly. tographers swarmed aboard. Crippen they found handcuffed in his state- room, No. 8, and Miss Leneve under the care of a physician in No. News Spread Among the Passengers. The news by this time had spread among the passengers, who had been duped throughout the voyage by the bogus clergyman and his effeminate son. Captain Kendall had kept from them the identity of the two mysteri- ous passengers and although the re- cent hombardment of wireless mes- sages had aroused their suspicions, none on board besides Llewellyn Jones, tha wireless operator, knew that the two were Dr. Crippen and his girl com- panion. Neither Denied Their Although neither Crippen typist denied their identity, neither admitted any connection with the death of ~Belle Elmore. Inspector Dew’s task was only to point out the fugitives to the Canadian police and after their arrest bring them back to England. Neither he nor the Canadi- ans who made the arrest tried to get incriminating admissions from the couple. Such efforts are contrary to British law and the prisoners volun- teered no information. Miss Leneve Again in ments. With the shock of arrest over. a stewardess changed the boy’s cloth- ing in which the girl had traveled as Crippen’s son_ for garments more fit- ted to her sex. Then she collapsed again and lay for more than an hour in her berth, her features contorted and her bodv shaken with convulsive sobs. In a separate cabin, guarded Ly a_detective, Crippen sat in silence with his cchin sunk on his chest. On the deck, mear at hand, a group of French and Roumanian immigrants Were singing cheerful songs. Dr. Stuart, who stood beside the fu- gitive as he ‘as arrested, gave the Toll ing account ‘was walking on the promenade deck “about 7.30 this morning, when Crippen, who was in the habit of ris- ing at 6.30 each morning. joined me in my walk, We talked on various Identity. nor the Proper Gar- subjects and though Crippen seemed indifferent to the fact. of which he was aware, that the pilot was putting out in a boat at that time and might be accompanied by detectives. He re- marked, however. on the number of men aboard, saying, ‘There seems to be too many pilots aboard’ Then we resumed our conversation. “The detectives climbed awkwardly up the rope ladder, Dew first, followed by MeCarthy, then Denis, and finally Francois Gauvreau the official pilot, who was to take the liner to Quebec. “As Dew stepped aboard Crippen and myself were standing on the lee side of the vessel, a little forward of the main companionway, The purser waited at the top of the laader and pointed out the dentist to Dew. The inspector walked quickly to up him and in a moment it was all over. Story Toid by Another Eye-Witness. Another eve-witness described the arrest as follows: “When Dew reached the companion- way he turned or Dr. Crippen and said “‘Are you Dr. Crippen? “Crippen replied ‘Yes,’ and Bew said, “You're arrested on a charge of mur- der and the mutilation of the body of an unknown woman.’ " Crippen Appeared Dazed. Detective McCarthy stepped forward and snapped the handcuffs on the den- tits's wrisis as a safeguard, even though Crippen made no resistance. He appeared dazed and with-a briet remark that he was glad it was all over he walked quietly to the captain’s cabin. Inspector Dew’s question, “Are you Dr. Crippen?” was purely perfunctors, for he had recognized his man instant- 1y. Crippen’s face was clean shaven and deathly pale and there was no resem- blance in the huddled up figure, with its scanty hair, thin evebrows and no moustache, to the photographs of the doctor that have been appearing late- Iy. The only jaunty touch in his cos- tume was a light colored necktie. How Miss Leneve Was Trapped in Her Cabin. Detective Denis gave the most inter- esting account of how Miss Leneve was trapped in her cabin. “As soon as Crippen had been taken in charge by MeCarthy,” he said, “Inspsctor Dew and myseif went to cabin No. 5, where we were informed that Miss Leneve was reading a magazine. Dew gave instructions for a stewardess to stand ready with a glass of brandy to be administered in case the girl fainted, then he entered the cabin. followed by myself. Do vou recognize me? he asked of the girl when she rose to greet him. “‘No’ she raplied bluntly, as the her face. said he, ‘T am a detective of Scotland Yard and T have here a war- rant for your arrest on_a charge of murder and mutilation of the body of an unknown woman’ He used th eame words with which he had ad- dressed Crippen, taking them from the wording of the warrant. “The magazine fell from the girl's hand and she sank back on the sofa in a faint. Then the stewardess entered at a word from Diw and forced a little of the liguor hetween her iips. Ereath- ing heavily, she lav back on the =ofa with her eves closed. She was not Crippen Handcuffed in Stateroom. Crippen was attired in a traveling soit of biue serge and tweed overcoat. Gald-rimmed noss and fr them his eyes looked out dully. face was pale and drawn.

HENRY JOSEPH WENDLING, MURDERER OF ALMA KELLNER, Starts from San Francisco Tomorrow to Face the Charge. San_ Francisco, July 31.—Henry Jo- seph Wendling, held here for the mur- der of eight vear old Alma Kellner, of Louisville, Ky. will leave 'in the company of Captain of Detectives Carney next Tuesday to face the charge that rests against him. His confident manner in expressing his de- sire to face the murder indictment has all the marks of sincerity. He pro- tests his innocence and says that charge does not worry him ‘as much as the thought of meeting his irate brother-in-law, Louis Arnold, whose wrath, he says, caused him to flee home last January Every precaution will be taken by Captain Carney to prevent his pris- oner from committing suicide on the train. The entry into Louisville avill be secret to avoid any demonstration. ACTOR HENRY MILLER IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. Had Rib Broken and Head and Face Bruised. Stamford, Conn., July 31.—Henry Miller, the a%}: received a broken rib and severe ses in an automobile accident mear his home late last night. Mr. Miller was returning to his home when his machine skidded, running in- to a mail box post, smashing the ma- chine and throwing Mr. Miller out. He land=d on his_side, breaking a rib and bruising his head and face. He was brought to this place and his injuries treated and then taken to his home. His injuries, it is understood, will not prove serious Five Deaths by Accidental Drowning Reported in Boston. Boston, July 31.—Five deaths by accidental drowning were reported here today.

Even then her oondition was pitiful, and on one saw her except the ship surgeon and the stewardess At times her moans could be heard in the passageway outside her cabin. After satisfying themselves that there was no weapon in her room, the officers did not return until she was instructed to prepare for leaving the vessel at Quebec. Jeweis Found on Crippen. In a beit strapped about Crippen waist the detectives found five dia- mond rings and a diamond pin. If it can be proved that these jewels be- longed to the prisoner's wife the po- lice think they will have gone far to- ward establishing their hypothesis of murrer on 2 firm basis. Prisoners Reached Quebec This Morn- ing.

Closelv guarded. the pair was taken from the vessel at 1.35 a. m. LONDON NEWSBOYS REAPED A HARVEST. Special Editions of Sunday Papers Containing News of the Arres London, July —London, eagerly waiting, got the first news of Crippen and his companion, Ethel Leneve, through the Associated Press des- patches, which were received here far ahead of scores of other despatches an- nouncing the dramatic event. These dribbled in from various points from half to two hours later and it was nearly four hours before Scotland Yard received an official message of con- firmation. Special editions of the Sunday pa- with the Associated Press de *h, were issued by the thousands and were eagerly bought up. It is a long time since the newsboys had such a harvest. Miss Leneve’s Mdther Cable: thetic Appeal. London, July 31.—Eth21 Leneve's rel- atives tonight are relieved that their long suspense is ended. They have Deen apprehensive of some untoward fate, and are convincad now that the woman can prove her inmocence. Her mother said in an interview that she was certain Crippen had hypnotized her daughter, otherwise she would nevar have donned hoy's clothes. Her father equally believes that she was the dupe of Crippen. It is suggested here that Crippen may claim American citizenship as a means of delaying the coursz of jus- tice. Mrs. Leneve cabled a pathetic ap- peal to her daughter today imploring her to tell the police everything and not to allow her affaction for Crippen to stand in the way of her duty to herself and to her family. The cable concludes: “Be brave, little girl, and have no fear; we are confident of your inno- cence. FATHER OF DR. CRIPPEN a Pa- Awful Crime.
