lish nowspapors nro given nearly all
tho credit for tho capturo of Dr.
Crlppen and Mile. Leneve by Captain
Kendall of tho Canadian Pacific
liner Montrose, who this afternoon
gavo an Interview to the United
Press, recounting his methods of
identifying tho suspects.
"For some unknown reason 1 read
all tho newspaper accounts of tho
Islington mystery," said Captain
Kendall. "I bought all available
papers In London and oven secured
late ones Just as my ship cleared
from Antwerp. These papers con
tained pictures of Dr. Crlppcn. All
of thorn represented him as a full
bearded man.
"When my suspicions became
aroused by tho peculiar appearance
of 'Robinson and his son,' I again
studied the pictures, placing one of
them on a table. I blocked out tho
muBtacho and beard with white
crayon and tho resemblance of tho
photographic reproduction to my
passenger was marvelous.
"I then took another picture and
in addition to blocking out the beard,
I chalked out the eye-glances and tho
likeness again proved striking.
"After that I awaited my chance
to tee Crlppen when he could not seo
me. I studied his face carefully
and became firmly convinced that
he was tho fugitive.
"Then I took a picture of Mile. Le-
ucve. I eliminated the cluster of
hair and the woman's hat and dress
worn in tho picture. Awaiting a fa
Torable opportunity, I studied tho
face of tho 'boy' through a window
where I would not bo distracted by
the details of her male garb. I also
studied her face through a telescope
I made of paper and compared her
face with my newspaper reproduc
tion. They tallied exactly.
"Then I cultivated the acquain
tance of 'Robinson but was unable
to become acquainted with his 'son.'
U WV." ...-
.ho stayed in their stateroom most
of the time. While talking occa-,
elonally with Crlppen, I studied his
characteristics and compared them
from time to time with tho news

however, that up to tho tlmo Inspec
tor Dew boarded the vessel Crlppen
had any idcr. that his Identity was
known."

Judge George T. Rnldwin of Klam
ath Falls is heading nn agitation in
his homo city to fix up tho old Asli-lnnd-Klnmnth
Falls stage rond o
that it cau be used for traffic. In
the Klamath Chronicle appears tho
following interview:
"If this old stage road was put
in decent shape it would bo one of
tho most traveled highways in the
entire country for tourists nnd
pleasure-seekers. Instead of the
people who visit Crater lake going
in from Medford in autos, they
would come from Ashland via Klam
ath Falls and return the sanio way,
ns it would give the tourists a chance
to seo Klamath Falls and the Klam
ath country and enjoy one of the
nicest kind of auto trips through a
beautiful scenic country. Those
coining to Crater Lake from Medfoid
would come on here and to Ashland
over this road, if they did not, make
both trips this waj
A Scenic Routcc.
"Klamath Falls is becoming wide
ly advertised as a scenic country
and place for recreation of nil sorts.
Thousands of travelers from all
parts would come on tho train to
Ashland and from there would make
the rest of the journey via machine
instead of coming on around on the
train by Weed and laying over there
for a day nnd night, as they do
now, if the Klamath Falls-Ashland
road was put in passable shnpe, and
going out toward Portland thoy'
would do the same thing. This would
land them in Ashland in a few hours
from here in fact, long before they
could possibly reach Ashland via
train. If this road was put in shape
for autos a line of machines would
bo put on the run by someone at
once and you would bo surprised to
sc the number of people who would
take advantage of the ride both ways
in getting in and out of KJnmnth
Falls, instead of making that long
and tedious trip over the Siskiyous
. ---,- -
land doubling back to get here, or
vice versa.
Only 04 Miles.
"In view of these fucfsv which
should bo apparent to everybody, it
is indeed strange that something has
never been dono toward making this
rond reasonably decent by the peo
ple of tho two counties which it
runs through. It is 61 miles from
here to Ashland via this route, and
tho county lino is just about midway.
While it vvuld cost something for
tho two counties to put the lund in
shape nnd keep it so, the good that
would result nud the moncv that it
would bring back to the people would
more than re - for all the outlay.
"And, as I stated while in Ashland
somo days atro, I will be ono of any
number of men in Klamath Falls who
will put in $50 individually toward
this work, and as several people in
Ashland expressed themselves as be
ing willing to aid such a move, I
bcliovo if the matter was properly
laid before the individuals wiio
would bo benefited by such a high
way they would come through with
out much trouble for a large amount
of tho money necessary to put this
highway in shape and keep it. so.
Court Should Start Work.
"I also believe that if tho matter
was tuken up with the county offi
cials of Klumuth and Jackson coun
ties these men would seo the benefit
of such a highway and start the ball
rolling by making a substantial do
nation from the taxpayers. If the
courts should do this I do not believe
thoro is a taxpayer in tho county
who would kick when they realized
tho good tho couuty would get from
such a road.
"I am not making this plea for
tho improvement of this highway be
cause I nm in tho automobile busi
ness and it would benefit me, but
am looking to the whole county, us
I nm honest in the statement that
money could not bo expended to bet
tor advantage by tho county or indi
vidual business men of Klamath and
Jackson than to put this old stage
road in good ropair for auto travel."
