TREPOFF'S NIECES In BAND


ST. Petersburg, April 70. Gradually
many interesting details surrounding the
recent arrest of band Of about a dozen
terrorists are leaking out.
The capture, which is regarded by
the authorities as being of immense inn
portance, was accomplished by Kashov-
sky, the Russian Lecoq, who was dis
missed from the secret police several
years ago on account Of his connection
with Philippe, the spiritualist, who ere
ated such a stir at court several years
ago, and who then went to Paris to
live.
GOV. Gen. Trepof, upon his appoint
ment as governor general Of st. Peters
burg, induced kashoysky to return to
st. Petersburg and within two weeks
the detective captured the entire band,
which had been operating here under
the direction Of central organization,
which apparently has its headquarters
in Switzerland.
Alfred H. Mccullough, the man killed
March IL by the accidental explosion
Of a bomb at the Hotel Bristol, whose
real name was Bauman, was one of the
chiefs Of the terrorists, having charge
Of the manufacture Of bombs, and Kale-
Jeff, who killed Grand Duke Sergilis,
also belonged TO the same group.
After Baaman's death Kaleiefl's dur
ties devolyed upon Mile. LeontieH (the
daughter of Gen. LeontiefT, who recently
was appointed governor of YaSutsk,
eastern Siberia, who became a convert
TO terrorism during her stay at Lu-
erne, Switzerland.
Kaleieif's identity was established
through the discovery of 4 photograph
belonging to Sayinkoff, who had been
his comrade both at the university and
in exile. When Kaleieff was charged
with his identity he admitted it, say
ing Immediately:
Savinkoff has been arrested
The police later thought they had
captured Sayinkoff and SO announced
publicly. But it turns out that the
man held under that name was another,
and that Savinkotf, to whom kaleieff
evidently had confded his intention Of
killing Grand Duke Sergius, is still
abroad.
Among the others captured was Nine.
Ivanovskala, a sister-in-law of koro-
lenko, the Russian author. She was
involved in the Nihilist plot to assassi-
nate Emperor Alexander III, for which
she was sentenced to 10 years in ST.
IBERIA, but at the end of seven years
escaped TO America.
Perhaps the most romantic feature is
the fact that Mile. Leontietf converted
two nieees of Gov. Gen. Trepoff, Mile,
Trepof and Princess Denisheif, to the
| doctrine Of assassination, and that, af-
| ter the arrest OF her mentor, Mile. Ire
poff actually attempted the life OF her
uncle, firing two shots at him, both OF
which missed.
Thereupon the girls became panic
stricken and attempted suicide, Mile
Trepoff throwing herself under a train
and Princess Denisheff shooting herself
Neither of them succeeded IN killing
| themselves.
/! The family has since tried to make IL
appear that the girls acts We're the re-
suit Of mutual pact for self-destruc-
ton, both being in love with the same
man, an officer of the guards.
! About 100 male and female students
of the conservatory of music who have
been connected with the agitation in
favor of Rimsky Korsakof (who was
removed from his professorship in the
conservatory because of his attitude
toward the striking students) have been
arrested and sentenced to months
| imprisonment
