ST. LOUIS. May 9Th.

MAXWELL is arrested at Auckland.

T II good work in this case.
W. L. HARRIGAN, Chief of Police.
IN inquiry it was found that the next
s,samer that will sail for Auckland will
he the Australia, on Saturday next. 1t
1vouId be, of course, impossible tor the
81 Louis authorities to obtain the
necessary papers from Washington and
ssnd officers with them here by that
lime. Chief Harrigan was notified in
renly of the sailing of the next monthly
steamer, the ZedlGndid, which is an
bounced to leave here on June 9Th.
II is supposed that two officers from
St Louis will carry down the extra
dition papers for the murderer. The
eTtradition will be asked under the
PROVISIONS of Section 10, of the treaty
az 1872, between the United States and
Great Britain, which reads: at is agreed
that the United States and Her Brit
annie Majesty shall, upon mutual
Teouisitions by them or their Ministers,
officers and authorities respectively
made, deliver up to justice all persons,
vino, being charged with murder, or
assault with intent to commit murder,
or piracy, or arson. or robbery, or
forgery either shall seek an asylum or
shall be found within the territory of
the other; provided, that this shall not
be done upon such evidence of crimi-
nality as, according to the laws of the
place where the fugitive or
person so charged shall be
found, would Justify his apprehension
and commitment for trial of the crime
or offenSe had there been committed;
= = The expense of such apprehen-
sion and delivery shall be borne and de-
frayed by the party who makes the re-
QUESTION and receives the fugitive"
Our local authorities are naturally
much elated over Maxwell's capture,
for it was entirely due to their vigilance
and thoroughness in their detective
work in quickly getting on the track of
Maxwell in this city. Although it was
not until three days after the suspected
murderer had sailed that the news of
the atrocious crime was received here,
vet any action of his of any importance
was soon ferreted out by the officers,
even to the minor fact of his pur-
chase of plug of chewing tobacco.
It's thought impossible that there
can be any mistake in the identity of |
the man arrested. The description of |
MAXWELL, sent by the st. Louis authori-
ties to Auckland, was that furnished by |
apt. Lees, obtained from those who |
aw IT. G. D'Auguier" during his short |
ograph of Maxwell obtained from Bos- |
on, given by him to friend on the |
rip from Europe. In addition the |
Auckland people were informed that
Capt. J. E. Robinson, Boston mariner |
IN his way to Sydney, who came on the
rain part of the way with Maxwell or |
Daughter, was on the steamer and |
would point out the suspected murderer. |
By reasonable calculation, if all goes
veil, Maxwell may be expected to ar
