SEQUEL TO A GERMAN RoMANcE.
BarthOIOmarus Fost Goes Back to

BarthoIomarus Kost Goes Back to
Bremen to Answer for His Sin.
A romantic story is told in the evidence
submitted TO the State Department by the
German Government on which the depart
ment yesterday based its action in grant
ing a warrant for the surrender to the
German authorities Of Bartholomarus Kost
The warrant was transmitted 10 the Ger
man Embassy in Washington yesterday af-
fcrnoon. KosL is held in Chicago on
charge of murder committed in Bremen.
Kost. who was a tailor in Bremen, was
engaged TO be married to Marie Vodicka,
2 working girl Of that city. Her parents
objected TO the match, but finally consent
ed, and made arrangements for the mar
riage. The young woman had saved about
GOO forms and her parents bought her
complete and somewhat expensive wedding
outfit. According TO the evidence, Kost
objected to the marriage taking place in
Bremen, saying that his first wife died in
America and it was necessary for him to
come here and arrange some legal formali-
ties in order that his marriage with Marie
might be legaliZed. After some opposition
on the part of the young woman's parents
il was arranged that Kost and the girl
should proceed TO America together and
be married here
They left Bremen ostensibly to take a
stsamer for New York, but in reality to
go TO hotel on the outskirts OF the city
Ii is alleged that Kost murdered the girl
near this hotel, and, with her savings and
her trousseau. sailed for America, accom-
paniad by Anna Schimera. with whom he
had been keeping company at the time he
was engaged TO Marie Vodicka, and whom
he married before leaving Germany. Marie
had a sister in New York, on whom she
was 10 cali on her arrival in this country
Time passed. and the sister wrote home
that she had seen nothing Of Marie. About
this time the body of Marie was discovered
1t was also ascsrtRined that part of her
wedding outfit had been sold in Bremen
Kost and his wife were traced TO America,
and were finally located in Chicago. There
was no evidence against the woman, who
was apparently innocent of any completely
in the murder of Marie YodicSa, and she
was not held.
In kost's possession was found trunk
which contained part OF the wedding out
ft Of the murdered girl. He was given
hearing before Commissioner Booth, III
Chicago, and committed for extradition.

The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad was
Yesterday made defendant in a suit for

claims this amount for the failure Of the

On presentation of the bill of lading by

an exorbitant and larger amount than
stated in the bill of lading This Mul-
cahy refused TO do, and the horses we're

Of al the horses, brought suit in the name
OF David Murphy, the owner Of one of
them, before Justice of the Peace O'Neal,
and obtained judgment in the sum of 5000
and interest and costs. An appeal from
the judgment is now pending. Murphy
does not claim as large damages as the
