ESCAPED MURDERERS
RE-CAPTURED.
GOT OUT OF PRISON BY BRIBERY.
WELL-LAID PLANS.
Tsingtao, Aug. 11. Tsinan newspapers report that the two Russian murderers of the late Mr. Carl Fischer, Jeweller, of Tsingtao, who escaped from Tsinan prison recently under clr cumstances clearly indicating that the prison authorities had" beon bribed, have now been recaptured at Lo Kou. The Chief Warder of Tsinan hurried there to report and he ascertained that they are indeed the two wanted men. He returned to Tsinan with the pri- soners under heavy guard.
This news, if authentic, and we believe it to be, is very good news, and Director Chas Chi will feel greatly relieved that the effort of the Tsingtao Police in making the original enquiry that led to the first capture of these murderers
have not been made in vain.

A good deal is known, apparent ly, by the Chinese Police regard- ing the methods adopted to bribe the Tsinaniu prison authorities to con- secure the freedom of the victed murderers, and it would be interesting to know if the German Consul at Tsingtao in the in- terests of the murdered German eitizen Fischer, will not succeed in exposing the channels through which the prison authorities were reachel. Unfortunately there is the fairly strong evidence that plans for the prison breaking were inid at Tsingtad, and not at Tsinan, and to say that the public

Through creation of such a feeling came the magnificent warfares of recent years that have served largely to abolish the ly from civilized
