The Daily Express says the fugitives overheard the passengers talking of, their escape. Both were arrested on Saturday and guarded in separate cabins. Crippcn was deprived of his revolver and penknife. ■ :* 'Le Neve wgpt;:'and offered to make a statement to'the police. Crippen demanded to know what offence he was charged with and was told he was charged with contravening the law in representing his companion as a hoy, and giving a false name! The Chronicle says Crippen was very leisurely in his movements. In Belgium he affected no hurry to sail, and pretended that he wished to sail on the Montress'e's next .voyage on the 31st August, and 'arranged to pay in August, but on learning -that there was no double berth cabin available in August 'he decided to go immediately. He had arranged to pay extra for such accommodation, and inquired whether he had the option of disembarking at Quebec or' Montreal. The reply was in the affirmative.

The Times considers it probable that Crippen was placed under restraint, as he may have gained nn inkling of the situation owing to the wireless and other actions.
