New York. Dec. 20.-Captured after
romantic pursuit in which a beautiful
woman figured as the inspiration of her
husband-a Secret Service agent-Alexan-

viii be a-raigned on charges of forgery
and fraud. having been indicted last jan
uary. He is accused of altering consul
lar certificates on certain imports, prin-
cipally automobiles, and thereby making
large profits by pocketing the difference
of the actual and fraudulent prices of the
goods.
Hollander wasin the charge to-day Of
agents of the Department Of Justice. Jo-
seph A Poulin and E. J. Brennan. Poulin
is the man who captured Hallander in
Naples, Brennan having been ordered 10
Italy to assist his colleague :. bringing
his prisoner back TO this country after the
government had won its suit for exTadi-
ton.
Hollander disappeared early last jan
uary, as soon as he had been warned-that
his methods as custom broker at s. Wall
treet we're under Investigation. Bis in
dictnent followed soon after. as the re-
suit OF the investigation. and Poulin was
assigned to the ease.
Mr. Poulin took his recently welded
and beautiful young wife with him to
Canada, a trip which he expected at that
time would be over In few days. He
traced Hollander TO Toronto but soon
lost the trail. which led to Ottawa. From
there Hollander slipped away to Mon
treal. and from Montreal to Quebec,
whence he took passage 10 London.
Poulin was determined TO follow the
man all over the world by this time He
found his wife so jealous in the work OF
trailing the fugitive and her advice 50
shrewd and valuable that he took her
with him across the Atlantic On reach
ing London Hollander departed this time
10 the continent. The chase finally led
to Naples, where Poulin and his wife ar
rived last July. Convinced that Hollander
was ia Naples, Poulin was nevertheless
surprised to run into him accidentally in
the Gallery Umberto one of the principal
streets of the city.

COUNT Is CHARGED
WITH BXTORTION
Boston Women Said to Have
Been Duped.

Tours, Dec. 9.-The trial of the alleged
Count d'Aulby de Gatigny for attempting
to extort 10000 from Mrs. Charles Ham
ilt0n Paine. of Boston. now the Duchess
de Choiseul, for spurious pictures sold
TO her late husband, was begun in the
Correctional Court to-day. A large crowd
was in attendance and ii was necessary
TO hold the hearing in the quarters Of
the Assize Court, which are larger than
those Of the Correctional tribunal
The hearing closed with the defense
having scored a point in preventing Ger
tain letters being removed from the doc
uments in the case What the letters
contain was not divluged. a legal point
arose as to whether OUTLETS position was
such that he could claim professional Sc
crecy to secure the withdrawal of the
letters. Dutillet is a law graduate. but
does not practice as an advocate.
President Rothel began the interroga-
I ton of the accused. which was not nm
ished after three hours. Possibly mind
ful of Premier Brands recent circular
on the presidents interrOgations, which
was a beated outcome of the Stelnheil
trial, Judge Robert was not severe, al
though he questioned along the lines of
a prosecuting attorney, rather than as
an independent inquirer. Judge Robert
recognized the perfect honor of the
countess family, her property being
worth 100000 francs when she and her
husband settled in Tours eight years
ago. Their income before they knew
Mrs. Paine was 60,OO0 francs yearly.
D'Aulby was unwilling TO reply 10
question about his having said that
Prince Phillips de Bourbon wished TO
adopt him. He said it was too delicate
matter to discuss, as the prince and
princess were his friends. The prince
suggested that D'Aulby might handle In
London some of the princes concessions
in Brazil. If he were successful, the
rrince would be willing 70 adopt him.
