settled on herself in her own name, and was
estimated at over $4,000. Tue Italians frs,
step was 10 beg from his wife the present of q
house in Washington City, worth about $l5, 900.
The petition was granted, and from the moment
OF his entrance into the possession OF this pro
perty the demon Of avarice seems to have seized
him bodily. And now a new party appears upon
the stage A Mr. --, down town merchant
associated with the Cuba trade, is stated to have
entered into a conspiracy with Bourganani to
deiraud and rob the wife of the latter b. pro-
iessed to be anxious TO engage in business, and
introduced Mr., - to his wife. Mr. -
expressed his willingness to assist b. and to take
him into partnership, it the latter would advance
S2O,O0O. The wife advanced the money. Mr..
- demanded 10000 more THIS demand was
SATISFIED; Mr.. - Unsuitable as vulture,
raised his price to $4,000. Even this sum was
placed at his disposal The parties now pre-
tended to be glutted with their punder. Bour-
ganhni entered into business, and his rich, we
mean his poor, wife enjoyed few months of
pecuIiary peace. But the calm was of short
duration. Late one night Bourganaui returned
nome from business, and abruptly demanded
that $50 GOO should be paid to him the folio wing
day. He condescended to no explanations, but
the money he must have. His wife refused him
on the ground OF her inability to raise
the amount required. Bourganani, who knew
neither pity, gratitude, or honor, hunted
that he could name a property that was
available, by the amount settled upou
two OF her grandchildren, the girl Emily
and her younger brother, who lived with them
Bourganani fatty refused thus to beggar her
grandchildren TO further his selfish ends and
then, in return. her husband coolly expressed
his determination at once to decamp TO Europe
And tor rarity he kept his word. He departed
by stealth on the next steamer, leaving instruc.
uoDs with his confederate, the doWn-to wn mer-
chant Aforesaid, TO undertake his case during
his absence. Bourganani is also said to have
deposited with his assistant" $4,000 for the
maintenance of his (Bourganani's) family; but
the merchant never accounted for the one-6tth
part of this sum.
But he proved faithful ally in evil never
theless: He never rested by day or night till,
by working alternately upon Madame BE hopes
and tears, her love and her pride by taxing her
reason and exhaustlng her physical system, he
prevailed upon her to sign away at Washington,
not only the coveted property, the only heritage
Of her grandchildren, but also all her right and
title 10 her own estate with the exception of a
single house, in favor OF her husband. Thus,
by stroke other pen, in q moment of exhaus.
tion and infatuatlon, the wife OF Bourganaui
rendered herself and her children Daupers The
magistrates ADVISED her against this rash act,
but the downtown merchant" knew the
weakness OF her heart, and prevailed.
Bourganani returned, and his confederate and
himself enjoyed the spoils.
Madame Bourganani, who was now aware
that she had committed very serious indscre-
ton, on several occasions endeayored to remedy
her folly by appealing to what she supposed
might be the ''better nature" of her husband.
One day, by her intercessions, she succeeded in
so exaspe1ating the Italian that his anger over
came his caution, and handing her the writings
which had conveyed to him her earthly all he
exclaimed, There, take your papers, and
BECOME" Almost incredible to state, the tide of
feeling IN the breast of his wife was turned by
this sudden involuntary generosity, and giving
back tue papers to him, she simply said ''No, |
will not mlstTUst my husband" and departed
Thus did she, tor the second time, OF her own
accord become pauper.
Meantime, while gratifying to the full his lust
for gold, the Italian found time for viler and
nameess passion. He had wearied of the wife
who, in surrendering her wealth, had, in his
eyes, lost her sole attraction, and he determined
to distort to a foul and bastard purpose the once
pure affection entertained for him bY his adopted
Emily. This unfortunate young
lady possessed pleasing person, was of medium
hel0ht, OF good figure with rather sharp
features, and was quiet and reserved in her
manner. The chief element in her character
seems to have been morbid love for the Italian
adventurer Boureanani; love more deep than
the passion of many a mature woman; love at
first sight, which has led to shame, and will pro-
badly endure till death; love which in itself
and Its surroundings is not the least wonderful
feature Of this remarkable case.
The conduct of BourgaRani to wards this Young
girl, whom he was bound by every manly tie to
shield, exhibits picture of moral turpitude
utterly lndescribabe. He betrayed her by a
long and gradual course OF seduction, and
thoroughly succeeded in confoundug and per-
verting her moral sense. 1t was an intellectual
as well as spiritual and physical destruction.
And " hat is the most amazing of all, 1t has been
recently ascertained that the fact of her child's
ruin by the act of her own husband was, for
several months previous 10 the denouement
more than suspected by the unhdppy ,nife and
mother What situation must have been hers
all through the weary time! The human soul
cannot imagine domestic state more truly hor.
rble. The minute details of the ItaLan's vii
lany in this connection are too gross for publi-
cation; they really make one sick OF city life and
human nature.
The scoundrelism of Bourganani was very
peculiar. While he has proved himself to be
rascal on large scale, he has also committed
crimes of the most petty description. In order
to raise the funds needed Tor his flight with his
victim, he not only robbed his vile OF many
thousands of dollars, but secretly sold her silver
her pictures her kitchen crockery. and similar
tribes. He also robbed his wife
not long ago Of some silver spoons, which he dis
posed of at pawnbroker's. The spoons were
missed by Madame Bourganani, and a detective
was employed, who traced the articles by a
regular sequence from the receiving shop to the
hands of Slgnor Bourganani himself, who being
thus exposed like whipped hound absolutely
begged upon his knees to his wife for mercy. Is
there depth of meauness that can be below
such degradation IN. Y Tribune.
