A GERMAN BOLSHEVIK.
RED LEADER CLEVERLY CAPTURED 3y Telegraph.-PreEs Assn.-Copyrlght. », ~ Berlin, April 20. The climax to Hoelz's three weeks' career was highly melodramatic. When he saw he must fly he kidnapped some men and told them that they would be shot unless they made immediate preparations to go to Czecho-Slovakia. They obtained the necessary passports which Hoelz annexed on behalf of himBe f and his Chief-Adjutant, a rascal called Weber. Thus Hoelz and Weber crossed the frontier going to Prague, but were closely questioned by soldi ere and changing their plans went to Marienbad. The authorities meanwhile had telegraphed Marienbad so a party of police and soldiers was waiting at the railway station when they arrived. When he saw he was cornered Hoelz drew out grenades, but seeing the levelled rifles he hesitated. Hoelz and Weber were qni-kly handcuffed. Hoelz had the equivalent of £SOOO upon him. It is expected that the Czecho-Slovaks will surrender Hoelz.
