After a chase lasting over two months through Russia and Germany. Zogolowgki, a young RuMittft labourer, who is accused, with two others, of murdering a banket, bin wife, cashier, and typist, and (stealing £500, in the little town of !Mielowitz, in Russia, was (says the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph), wrested in New York as ho stepped off the German stetimer Zeitun. by a German detective. A few hours betore the Zeitun readied her dock this morning, T)tto Busdorf, the German detective, who had been called into the caso by the Russian .police, arrived by the American linor St. Louis, whioh left. Southampton on Wednesday, Bth March. It appears that Busdorf traced the accused man through Russia and Germany, and reached Bremen just in time to learn that an individual resembling ZogoloWeki had sailed on the Zeitun for tho United States a few hours bofore. • • So .oertain was ho of his faots and his m.an that Busdorf, casting about fov a way to beat tho Zoitun, a twelve-knot steamer, to Now York, thought of tho St. Louis leaving Southampton on Bth lvlarch. After a 'great race against Umo, Busdorf ran up the St. Louis's gang-plank just a few minutes before it was hauled ashore. He told the captain of his belief that tho fleeing man was aboard tho Zeitun, and of his desire to get to New York ahead of her. Then followed a thrilling drama of tho pea, in which a fast, modern liner and wireless telegraphy wero invoked iv aid of justice. Ar soon as the St. Louis was out of tho English Channel she crowded on every oiihce of Bteam, and tho wireless operator at once tried to get hold of tho German vessel. From the White Star liner Cretic, at >ea, the wirolpss operator got tho Zeitun's call lettei'B, "D.Z.N./ 1 and for tho ne\t. three, day* did httlo also but send that call. Many ships were Bpoken who had talko'l to the Zeikm, but it was not until last Tuesday that a faint answer was received from tho pursued vobsol. Early on Tuesday thu operator picked up the liner Virginia, and nho reporlod botag in communication with the Zoitun. Through the Virginia tho operator relayed a nie«saga to tho Zeitun's captain to arrest and place m irons Zogolowski, if he wei-o aboard the ship. That was tho lnst tho St. Louis heard until 9 o'clock on Tuesdfty i?
