but promised to consult the Minister of Justice as
to what should be done under the circumstances.
The conference took place, and it was ultimately de-
cided that Kiss should be arrested and given over to
the English officer. All these negotiations had
taken time, and when the warrant was issued to
take him into custody, Kiss was on his way to
Milan. It is presumed that the absconding bank-
rupt had in some manner become acquainted with
what was going on, for he had told the hotel
keeper that he intended to reside permanently in
Turin, and that he was arranging for the oc-
cupancy of a house in another part of the city,
which he indicated. He, however, left with great
precipitation, and forgot some of his luggage.
By some it is thought he was advised to leave
Turin, his absence being the easiest mode of escap-
ing what might have resulted in a political diffi-
culty. Haydon, however, continued the pursuit to
Milan, but here again the trace seemed lost. No
one under the name of Kiss was known to have
entered Milan, but Hayden, imagining that he
might have assumed his wife's maiden name, made
inquiries for a person calling himself Borlase. He
ascertained that a man who had given that name,
and who answered Kiss's description, had left
Milan for Dessnzano. Once more on his track, the
officer followed up the chase with remarkable
energy, and nearly came up with him at Peschiera:
He followed on to Venice, where he once more
found Kiss. He applied to the authorities for as-
sistance, and upon inquiry it was discovered that
Kiss had been travelling as an American, and was
described as an American in his passport. This oc-
casioned another difficulty, for while the Austrian
police stated they should offer no opposition to his
arrest if he still announced himself as an American,
they intimated that they could not withhold from
him the rights and privileges of a subject of Austria
if he should demand them. Haydon went to Kiss,
road the warrant to him, and intimated that he
must make preparations for immediately going back
to London. He declined to accompany the officer,
refused to renounce his privileges as an Austrian,
and at once claimed the protection of the authori-
ties. But the admission that he was an Austrian
by no means released Kiss from his perilous posi-
tion, for, by the law of Austria, any subject being
guilty of defrauding his creditors in the same man-
ner that Kiss had done, in any country with which.
friendly relations existed, rendered himself liable
to 15 years' imprisonment. Kiss therefore was
at once seized by the Venetian police, and
conveyed to gaol. Upon being searched
£2OO in gold was found upon him, as well
as a large quantity of jewellery and a packet
of very valuable diamonds. Several boxes, contain-
ing wearing apparel and miscellaneous property,
were also secured, as well as some valuables found
in the possession of his wife, who, it may be added,
accompanied her husband in his flight from Eng-
land, and has never left him since. Leaving Kiss
in prison in Venice, Haydon proceeded to Vienna,
where he saw Lord Bloomfield, the British Minis-
ter, who evinced every desire to render assistance,
but stated that he was afraid the authorities would
decline to give the prisoner up. His lordship, how-
ever, had an interview with the Foreign Ministers
who said he should not advise the giving up of tlle
prisoner unless Lord Bloomfield would undertake,
on the pail of England, that all Austrians in Great
Britain should be given up when demaned. Of
course Lord Bloomfield was unable to entertain the
question for a moment, and Haydon was compelled
to return to London, leaving the prisoner in the
hands of the Venetian police.
