ST, PRTRRsBuRa, Oct le.-Despits off.
clSl secrecy the police have received full
confirmation from Siberia Of the reported
escape Of N, Dsgaietf, the famous Nihilist
conspirator who planned and assisted in
the murder Of Lieut.. Col, sudslkin, the
Chief Of Police, and one OF bis stat, nearly
three years ago, The police have traced
NJ, Degaief to Geneva, and have ySInly
tried to wheedle the Swiss Government
into extraditing him, Since June at least
twenty Siberian prisoners have escaped,
including two cavalry officers and several
students, some Of them escaping by way
OF Cambodla, The prosecution observed
throughout Siberia are so stringent that
the Government Ia persuaded that the ca-
capes could not have been effected with
out conuIvaucs with the prison officials.
So great q commotion has been caused by
these repeated jail deliveries that especial
commission has been sent to Siberia To in
quire into their causes and 10 reorganizs
the entire system OF prison government,
A number OF high officials, under whose
charge the escaped prisoners were, have
been suspended, aud some officers who
were either crIminally negligent or else
assisted In releasing tho prisoners, have
been arrested and thrown into prison.
NJ. Dsgaief, alias Jablonski, the Mill
ist, whose escape Ia related above, has
had an eventful and Checkered career.
He had been identified with NihilIsm Tor
many years, but did not come prominent
" into notice until the murder OF General
strelnikoT, at Odessa. For his connection
with this crime he was transported to ST.
IBERIA, but escaped and returned to st.
Petersburg, There he proiessed to have
renounCod Nihilism and offered his ser
Vices to Lieutenant Colonel Sudeikin, the
Chief ol Polics for the district OF st
Petersburg, and soon became his conf
dental spy. On the night Of December
49, 1884, Degaietf was seated in q room
With Sudeiken aud his nephew,an assistant
detective, when, at signal from
Dsgaiet, the door was suddenly thrown
open and shot fred at Col. Sudeiken,
which was Immediately followed by
blow on the head with crowbar. SIde.
kin seized two heavy candlsstiCks and
managed to severely wound one OF his as.
sailanls before he was finally overcome
by the superiority OF numbers and stab
bsd to death. Meanwhile his nephew
vas struck down and left on the floor
nortally wounded. DegaieH, with the
assistance Of other Nihillsts, removed
their wounded accomplice and oil escap-
ed. Degaietf made his way to Geneva
and afterwards 10 London, where he In
tended to embark for America. Hs was
detained for some reason, and when next
heard Of had been captured on Rus.
alan soil and sentenced to Siberia for
life.
