He was in close communication com-munication " with Chief McCarthy of the Quebec police department until Ir.te last night and again this morning morn-ing The two men consulted plans for the decisive stroke ' ' when the steamer Montrose arrives off Farther Point To one of the press repre sentatives who hud been of personal serice to him. Dew said: ' I am absolutely certain that the persons on board the Moatroso are i Dr. Crippen aud the Leneve woman. The Laurentic was in touch with the Montrose on the way over and I received re-ceived messages from Cant Kendall which leave no room tor doubt about the Identity or" the suspects. Crippen and the woman will b greatly surprised when I' step or hoard the Montrose nnd confront them, but my surprise will be Just as great If the suspects turn out not to be the persons I expect. "My trip across the Atlautlc was without incident. Nobody on board except the captain and the wireless operator knew of my ideutlty. The passengers thought me merely a London Lon-don business man coming to Canada cn a visit. The first Intimation they had of ray real mission was shortly I after we passed Belle Isle and messages mes-sages began to come from the land wireless stations. Since them I have been beselged by newspaper men and by others acting for them." Questioned ns to whether ho had received any word from Scotland Yard sluce he left, the inspector replied re-plied lhat he had received several messages, all of which tended to con firm his belief that the persons on the Montrose were the much-sought Crippen and his typist. The man from Scotland Yard appeared ap-peared very nervous toduy. There 1 no doubt that he takes his mission most seriously. Ev?ry movement suggests caution on his part against a possible failure of hi program. An illustration of this Vyas furnished when he telegraphed to Quebec to have a special pair of London handcuffs, hand-cuffs, a description of which he gave, purchased and held for him. "Thev are," the inspector said, "the onlv kind in which I would be will-, will-, Ing to hold a prisoner for a long time."
