Sprenz, 29, of Akron, Ohio, was arrested Tuesday when he returned from a fishing to Co- sumel, an island off the Yucatan Peninsula.

Two American companions, apparently tourists, were held for questioning at Merida, Yucatan, but their names were not released. Sprenz was flown here and hustled into a car for the trip to the border, where he will be deported for illegal entry'and turned over to U.S. officials. The Interior Ministry refused to say which U.S. entry point he was being taken to.

The fugitive, described by U.S. officials as a master criminal, an accomplished liar and a talented actor, had eluded an network for more than a year after breaking out of jail at Akron. During that time he stolo four planes and numerous cars. He proved so elusive that J. Edgar Hoover took personal charge of the FBI's national alert.

Sprenz robbed a branch of the First National Bank and Trust Co. in Hamilton, Ohio, of nearly $26,000 last March 3 and raced cross- to the Yucatan Peninsula. Sprenz last was seen in the United States at Raymondville. on March 31. Mexican police picked ip his trail when a light plane was found near Vera Cruz last Friday.

They said Sprenz had flown the plane to Tecolutla, Veracruz, where he registered at the town's best hotel and posed as an American highway engineer on vacation.
