Typically, while his colleagues scuttled out of town to escape the police, Kropotkin was caught because he felt obliged to keep his date with the local geological society to expound his theory on the ice cap. A weaver in his "circle" broke his alias to the police. There was no trial. The prince was shut up "at the Czar's pleasure." However, the Czar did allow him books and papers to work...
