Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem, we analyze the context and the given options:

First blank:

The phrase "found... of over 200 charges" requires a word related to the outcome of the charges. Among the options, "guilty" is the correct choice as it is used in the context of being convicted of charges. So the first blank is filled with "guilty".

Second blank:

The sentence says he did something during a trip and fled the country. "escaped" fits here as it means to get away, which is consistent with fleeing the country. So the second blank is "escaped".

Third blank:

We need a place that had a reputation for harboring criminals from the US. Among the location options, "Spain" is the one that fits this description. So the third blank is "Spain".

Fourth blank:

After being identified, the logical next step is that he was arrested and then returned to prison. So "was arrested" is the correct phrase for the fourth blank.

Fifth blank:

We need a year of his death. Among the year options, "1878" is the appropriate one.

Sixth blank:

After his downfall, the organization that lost power in New York politics is "Tammany Hall" as it was associated with his political influence.

The completed text is:
