DIR. ScHGPPK IN CHICAGo.-Paul Sch9ppe,
alias Count Schulenberg, will be arraigned in
the criminal court of Chicago to- day. He is to
be defended by Col. Edmund Jussen, the
brother-i In law of Senator Schurz, and IL is in-
tipated that the jurisdiction OF the court will
be challenged, ON the ground that Scheppe,
when arrested In Baltimore, was not a fugitive
from justice, and was not, therefore, liable to a
requisltion from the state Of Illinois. Schaeppe
whose tate 1t seems to be to figure in American
criminal annals, claims that he has been simpiy
kidnapped and carried to Chicago in the inter-
est and by the instigation Of the heirs of Miss
Steineeke, whose viii is now before the Balti-
more courts. This, however, Is well known in
Baltimore to be merely q pretext of the accused
