HADE MEN HER PLIANT SLATES Use Them Tools to Brine Her Iarntm Wealth and, Dis carding; Them Ono by Oae. VIENNA, Sept. 2S.-Speelal.) No more sensational story h ever - been told In fiction or acted Jn melodrama than - that which haa been unravelled by the Vienna police In solving the mystery of the mur der of Count Kamarovsky at Venice a few ..days ago. Although some details of the crime have doubtless been cabled to Amer ica, the story In Its entirety Is of sut?Vl dramatic Interest that It Is well wrth telling in full. It Is the story of a beautiful she-t),-vtl and the demonical power which Ivsr wondrous beauty and powers of fascina tion enabled her to , exercise over men yho fell victims to. her charms. For the real author of the murder of Count Kama rovsky Js the Countess Maria Nlkal- yeffna Tarnovskl. who," for some time, haa been dassling Vienna with her lovely face and magnificent dresses. The other char acters tn ths tragedy were her puppets men whom love of her had made her laves, willing for the chance of winning Ker to risk the gallows la this world and damnation tn the next. The countess Is one of those seductive Irene luring men to destruction that you read about sometimes In novels and then doubt If their counterpart In real life ever exists. She Is not yet 30 and time merely ripened her beauty. Her face gives the lie to physiognomy. With her deep, soul ful eyes she looks angelk. Her beauty, perhaps. Is a heritage from her Irish an cestry, for she Is descended from a gallant Irishman named O'Rourke, Who settled In Russia 100 years ago. Ijarrled Before Elghtoea. She was not It when she married Count Tarnovsky a Russian nobleman of ancient lineage and possessed of large estate. After a few years she tired of her hus band and solaced herself with a lover. Tiring of him, too, she denounced him In an anonymous letter to the count. The result was, the count challenged him and killed him In a duel. He was the first man to lose his life .for the countess. How many more she has been Instrumental in sending to an untimely Trave nobody knows, for the Vienna police havs not yet traced her career la full. The death of one lover left her free to ensnare others. But Count Tarnivskl's eyes were opened at last and Instead or issuing more challenges to fight duels he procured a divorce. The countess was glad enough to bo releaaed from her matrimonial fetters. The process brought her another victim,. In the divorce proceedings she employed a Moscow lawyer, M. Prllukoff. At that time Frtlukoff was making something like J0.WU war. enloved an unblemished reputation and was happy tn his domestic relations. Prllukoff succumbed to the fasoinations or Ms client The result was that his law practice went all to pieces, his wife got 4 divorce from him and he rlta from tiussia with $25,000 with which he had been en in,.!. h eiianta before he was ensnared in tha toils of the countess. Prllukoff tagged after ner aooui r.urope. one up victim In the course of her peregrinations. and discarded them as It suited her oon len ience, but Prllukoff she always kept In tow. He was her emergency man. He tried to poison himself once, he said, to get rid of his troubles, but the doctors got to work on him with a stomach pump In time to u hta life. That he now regards as a misfortune, for If ho does not swing for his share In the murder of count Kamar ovsky hs will certainly get a long term of penal servitude. Itaaalaa Fell Vlettaa. Before leaving Russia for gayer European fields the countess cast her evil but be witching spells upon a Russian nobleman. Prince Naumoff. Princes are rather plenti ful In Russia and are not necessarily In cluded among the top-notchers of the Rus Ian aristocracy. But the prince had money and that was what oounted most with the countess. He tagged after her, too. almost as persistently as Prllukoff. for he was most madly In love wit a her. His infatuation has cost him fcS.000; his wife is suing him for a divorce and that bo will be hanged hardly admits of Question, for he was the man who actually killed Count Kama rovskjr. i. ik. rwMr.. tr her travels the countess i chanced to meet Count Kamarovsky, an old acquaintance, .whom she had lost iracx, oi for some time," becsuse the count as cap tain of the Cossack Guards, had, gone to the front in the war against Japan and bad there been severely wounded. The count had lots of money and the countess wanted Tho Wurn Optical Company A NEW ENTERPRISE- With an old Experienced Optician in Charge, tor ejeven years Manager of the Penfold . Optical Department. - B.F.IVURNH Farnaa SL OPTICIAN money badly, for Prince Naumoff had about exhausted his Immediate resources on hei account and Prllukoff had been dead broke for two years or more. Coo at Was Easy Coaooest. With the countess, of course, the first preliminary to getting hold of a man's money was to make him fall In love with her. She waa an adept at that. Count Kamarovsky proved an easy conquest. He had a wife at the time. She brought a uuit for divorce against the count, but be fore the case came up for trial she sim plified matters by dying. Then Count Kam arovsky and the Countess Tarnovskl be came formally engaged. , The count lavished gifts upon her. When she went out driving with him In Vienna she created a sensation by the splendor of her toilets and the magnificence of her jewels. She spent much time with him In Venice, too, where the count had a hand some villa on the Campo Santo Mona del Glglio. But marriage with him formed no part of her plans. It was his wealth she cov eted and marriage might prove an obstacle rather than an aid to its complete posses sion. She got the count to Insure his life In her favor for tlOO.OOO. Prllukoff selected the company in which It was taken out. The countess told him to make sure that tn cass the- count was killed there could be no question of disputing the payment. Her next step was to Induce the count to execute a will In her favor by which. In the event of his death, the whole of hla great fortune would be hers. 'The count was so I madly In love with her that he was willing to accede to her gvery request. Getting; Rid of Her Uoebaad. The one thing remaining to be done to make her an enormously wealthy woman waa to get rid of the count. She asked Prllukoff to do the Job for her, promising to reward him by marrying him and shar ing the count's fortune with him. Whether she ever had any Intention of redeeming that pledge la doubtful. Prllukoff took lessons In shooting and studied other methods ot assassination. According to the confession of the coun tess the plan originally arranged was that Prllukoff should Uke the same train by which the count was to travel from Vi enna to Venice, by some pretext get Into the compartment which the count would have reserved., for himself, engage him In conversation, offer him a narcotised cigar ette, and when It had rendered htm uncon scious, shoot him. It was a risky scheme, and as the time drew nigh for putting it In execution Prllukoff's nerve failed hlin. Ths countess says Prllukoff told ker he was afraald that If he actually killed the count she would get to loathe htm as a murderer and refuse to marry him. Probably she would not have married him, but It would not have been because he had played tha role of an assassin. Prllukoff gave her credit for more scruples than alia pos sessed. But with Prllukoff balking. It became necessary to employ a more daring tool to get the count out of the way. Tho countess summoned Prince Naumoff tOi Vienna. Tha prince was oaly 35. hot blooded and Impetuous and madly jealous of anyone who stood between him and the countess. He had already sent Count Kamarovsky a letter threatening to kill him U he out alia ouL eU.e told the prince , that she had Intended to go no further than a flirtation with the count, but that his persecution had rendered him detestable to her. She assured the prince that he was the only man she had ever really loved, and offered him the same terms as she had offered Prllukoff and the more venturesome prince eagerly accepted them. Plot Within a Plot. The wicked siren had not the slightest intention of carrying out her bargain with the prince. Prllukoff was cognizant of the arrangements made with him. The pair set to work on a scheme by which. In the event of the prince's mission of assassination succeeding, they hoped their own safety wouftl be assured. ' It waa a plot with'- a plot, by which it was to be made to appear that the countess and Prllukoff had striven to save the count from 'the vengeance of his jealous rival. The prince waa to kill the count at ' hla villa In Venice, journeying from Vienna for that purpose. Ptilukoft preceded him thither with a couple of detectives and posted them about the villa. That would substantiate the story he was to tell and did tell when first arrested that the countess had dispatched him to Venice to take precautions to Insure Count Kamarov sky' a safety, because she had heard the jealous prince utter threats aa-a'nst the count's life. And that he had really threatened the count's life the letter to the count would prove. As to any charge that she was a party to the plot to murder the count, they were to be met as they were at first by her indignant and scorn ful denials. Te pair calculated that as they had planned things, it would be Impossible to prove, whatever the prince might say, that they had any share In tha count's assassination. Finally Broagat to Jasttce. It waa part of the scheme that the de tectives were to capture the prince as he left the villa. That they didn't do. Prllukoff with his two men were actually In front of the count's villa when the prince entered It. But he did not tell the detectives that the prince was going there to shoot the count. That would have prevented the murder and the prevention of the mur der would, of course, prevent the countess from getting possession of the count's for tune. That was the first point that caused the police to doubt the genulneneas of the story told by the countess and Prllukoff that all their efforts had been aimed at saving the count from the danger that threatened him. The only order that Prllukoff gave to the detectives waa to seise anybody who rushed out of the house. They pounced on a man who ran out to give the alarm and the prince escaped then, only to be ar rested by the Italian police later. The count lingered for some days after he was shot. The countess and Prllukoff were arrested In Vienna Just after they had collected the Insurance money on the count's life. Their trial and that of the prince will take place tn Venice, where the crime was committed. game.

A LITTLE YACHT'S TRIP AT SEA To Be Made on the Deck ot a Big Schooner to Ban Juan, Porto Rico, v NEW TORK, Sept. 28. Boats don't al ways sail on the water. Here was one about to make quite a sea trip on the deck of another vessel, this boat being a twenty five foot sloop that was to be transporter! from this port to San Juan, P. R., on tho deck of a big three-masted schooner. They brought the little sloop a trim little craft it was, half-decked over for a cabin alongside the achooner, which wa? lying at a wharf in South street, and the first thing they did then was to get the mast out of It. That was easy. They rigged a tackle to the end of the schooner's malnboom and swung that out of tha rail and over the sloop lying on the water below alongside. Then they put a strap around the sloop's mast and hooker1 the fall of the tackle onto it and holstet' the sloop's mast out of Its step and up an.' over the rail and lowered It there on tht schooner's deck, all just as easy as coulr be. Later they stowed' this mast In the schooner's hold. . Then they had to get the hull of the sloop aboard somehow, and this didn't look quit' so eaay, for it was a bulky thing to handle and It might weigh a matter of three oi four tons, but really this was almple and easy too. They got a couple ot stout straps around under the yacht's bottom, one from forward and the other from aft, and worked these along under It until they had got them to where Its weight would be nicely dis tributed on them and so that It would hoist nicely In them, and then they brought alongside a floating derrick and hooked the fall of the derrick tackle Into the straps. Easy? Why this derrick could lift fort tons Just as nice as four, and the yacht was a baby for It. And so they hoisted the trim little sloop up out of the water, and high enough, and swung It In over the schooner's rail and set It down very gently on the schooner's deck. And there they blocked It and made it 'fast, so that it couldn't get away when the big schooner rolled or pitched at sea, and that's all there waa to It. And when they get to Porto Rico another big derrick there will pick It up and. put 't back Just as gently In the water. Ellrry's Band at Aadltorlnm.
