COUNT Won ARNIN and BISMARCK
A Strange Story of an Old World Tangle
from St. Louis by way of Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI O., Nov. !, 1874.
The Commercial to-day contains the iollo wing

ST. LOUIS, No., Oct. 81, 1874
On Wednesday evening last, young German.
whose name cannot be learned. taken In
charge by Mr.. Thomas Lanergan. manager OF the
detective association OF this city. The order for
his capture came by cable from Bismarck in Ber-
lin. He was an under secretary 10 Count Won
Arnim when that nobleman was oniclatine as
Minister at Paris. At the time the letters
or Bismarck to the Count were abstracted
from the archives OF the Paris Legation
portion OF them were conhded to the care Of the
under secretary. with instructions to keep nim-
self out OF the way. He remained concealed until
Won Arnim's arrest, and about six week. ago ne
started Ior New York. and proceeded thence 10
Kansas City, NO. where he remained two weeks.
At the expiration OF that time ne came to ST.
Louis, where he arrived ten days ago.
He took lodgings IN the aristocrattc portion Of
the city under an assumed name. Money seemed
to De plentiful with him and he made no enorr to
secure employment When Won Arnim was ad-
mirted to ball. he pledged himself to secure the
return Of the Under Secretary and also OF the pa
pers in his possession, and lurnsned Bismarck
with the clue to his whereabouts.
Bismarck's dispatch was to the German onicials
at Washington, and they communicated with
Lanergan here. He Immediately put himself in
communication with the under secretary, who de-
manded that the request for hts return should
come from Won Arnim. Upon being satisfied that
It was his masters wish he consented TO go back
to Berlin. He had left the papers and letters in
charge or German merchant in New York.
On wednesday night he left st. Louis for the
East, via the Vandalia route, arriving In New
York Friday night, receiving his papers and SET
ting sail to-day for Europe. There has been an
effort on the part OF the detectives conceal the
affair, but II mas leaked out through friend OF the
Under Secretary. who also refused to give the
mans name.
The detectives, upon being questioned admit
that they sent such q man to Europe upon advices
from Berlin; but decline to give his name or tell
how far he was connected with Won Arnim or the
distracted State documents though they admit
he was wanted for political reasons.
