HArrest of a ST. Petersbonrg Bank

"Some months ago, as our readers
may remember, we referred in these

st. Petersburg, and in Russia, gener-
ally, by a noted Banker, who abseond-
ed, leaving a deficit of over Ave mil
lions rubles.
The Russian police sought for him
for a long time in vain for it seems
that he had not left tha slightest trace
of his fight and the continued search
over Europe and America proved I'M

spector accompanied by two officers

dor, who had previously interviewed
the Home Secretary arrested him on
his way from the hotel where he was
staying, to the steamship Office. 1t
seems that it was his evident intention
to take passage for New York. From
information received by the Ambassa-
dor, he had beer in hiding in Spain,
where he lived with a woman and his
daughter. A few days before arriving
in London he mad quarreled with anoth-
er Russian, who was mortal1y wounded
by a revolver shot during the ~seuffle,
and who only lived long enough to de-
~noupce his assailant-
In an interview with the Russian Am
bassador. it seems that the name he
had been using in Spain, and which
he gave on being arrested was not his
real one, Nanasseina being simply an
alibi, but after comparing the prisoner
with photographs in his possession the
Russian Ambassador recognized him -
Alexander Dcmidicf the criminal bank
er who eloped with 5 millions Of ru-
bles; he is a native of st. Petersburg,
a widower 48 years old, with an only
daughter that he left In Spain on es-
Gaping from that country.
On being arrested two of Mauassei
mas or Alexander Demidieff's port
manteaus wers seized but although
strictly searched nothing but personal
effects were found in them, In spite OF
which, the Russian Ambassador declares
that the prisoner ought to have several
rubles somewhere.
The Russian and Spanish Ambassf
1ors conferred yesterday evening as to
whether the prisoner should be convey
I'd to Spain or to Russia, and after an
interview with the Home Secretary,
md in accordance with the extradN pn
reaty of England. Russia and Spain, it
vas agreed that the prisoner should be
onveyed to Spain, to stand his trial for
