CRIPPEN NEARING CANADIAN SHORES

Wireless Confirms News Slayer Is On Steamer Montrose. HE ML BE SENT BACK AT ONCE Inspector Dew, on Laurentlc, Passed Steamer Montrose ,at Sea—The Weather Is Foggy, and Only Meager Message Is Sent.

.Montreal, July 29. —-: There is now absolutely no doubt as to the real identity of the two passengers travelling second class on the Canadian Pacific steamship Montrose from Antwerp to Quebec, and registered under the names of Rev. Robinson and son. Delaney, the wireless operator at Point Armmjr, has been in communication with the Montrose, both directly and through the Allan Line steamer Grauipian, since 3:30 Tbursday afternoon and his messages officially to Col. Percy Sherwood of the Dominion police at Ottawa, to the head office of the Canadian Pacific and unofficially to interested parties here, show that there exists no doubt in the mind of Capt. Kendall and others on board that the Robinsons are the much sought after Dr. Hawley 11. Crippen aud his stenographer, Miss Le Neve.

A wireless message received here from the steamship Montrose via the station at Point Armour on the Straits of Belle Isle, 500 miles below Father Point, announced their presence on board the ship. It |s)pears now that Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who is on the Laurentie, with a warrant for Crippen, will not be able to make the actual arrest without having his warrant en dorsed by a judge of the court of the king’s bench. This cannot be done at Father Point, or Rimouski, the nearest judicial districts being the city of Quebec, some 200 miles away, or Frazerville, 100 miles to the eastward It was therefore arranged to have Chief McCarthy of the Quebec provincial force, and Chief Denis of Levis, with Chief Constable Gauvreau of the Dominion police, take the doctor and his companion under their wings on suspicion of being undesirable citizens. When Inspector Dew arrives on the Laurentic at Father Point, he will be advised to go ashore and rush up to Quebec by train, where he can have his warrant backed and proceed down the river again to Grosse Isle. In the immigration sheds there, a place on a small scale. Crippen and the Le Neve woman will have the warrant read to them and they will be placed formally under arrest. As soon as Quebec is reached the pair will be taken immediately before Judge Chauveau, be it day or night, and allowed to plead. According to law fifteen days must be allowed to elapse before they can actually , be extradited, whether they waive their rights or not., but as a matter of fact, tt is said that arrangements have already been made to take them back to the old country on the Royal George, which sails od Aug. 4th. ; * Dense fog is reported in the gulf and poor weather conditions for sending wireless messages. The Laurentic shoul4 be off Rimouski about noon today and the Montrose should put in an appearance twenty-four hours later.
