steamer Montrose, bound for Mon
treal. The officials at the yard de
clared they were out of touch with
the steamer Montrose and expressed
doubt of tho truth of a story that
Crippen and the young woman had
been arrested by the captain of the
Ener.
A London paper prints a story that
Crippen was arrested and adds that
Mile. Leneve confessed her identity,
bat denied all knowledge of the mur
der of Belle Ellmore (Mrs. Hawley
Crippen). The newspaper declares
ihot "Dr. Crippen" and "Mile. Len
avo" were overheard in the ship's
eabin discussing tho alleged crime.
The newspaper account of arrest
came by wireless from the vessel, it
is stated.
Scotland Yard feared that the cup

mistaken in bis identification of the
aouple aboard the vessel.
