tall, well-dressed man, wearing white
and green ribbon in the button-hole of his
coat lapel, visited the Lee avenue police
court In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, late yes
terday afternoon, and asked to see the
Judge. Justice Goetting had left for the
day, and the visitor told his story to Chief
Clerk Bernard Degnan, who was IN his pri-
vate office making up his accounts for Sep
TENDER. lie was an Italian nobleman, he
said. Count IarO di Calviano, with extern
slve estates near Naples. His wife died two
years ago, leaving him with two children, a
daughter or 10 and son of IA years. When
IN Naples on VISIT tue girl became in
1atuated with Giuseppe Bolani, an assistant
in jewelry store.
The count took her to Paris to break off
the ENHANCEMENT, and forbade any COM
munication. He discovered that they we're
corresponding secretly and threatened TO
send the girl to convent unless she prom
ised never to see Bolani again and TO return
unopened any letters he might send to her.
The girl promised and for couple of
months kept her promise.
When the count returned from business
trip TO Marseilles in August of last year his
daughter had disappeared. Her departure
was coincident with the disappearance of
Bolani from his place of business, and left no
room for dou t that they had gone together.
Detectives traced the couple to Rouen, where
they were married, and thence to Paris
where all trace Of them was lost. The count
returned to his home and mourned his
daughter as dead. His sou, a cadet in the
Italian navy, was forbidden to mention
again the name of his sister Lucia, whose
name was solemnly blotted from the family
record.
On Aug. 2S last. little more than year
since he last saw his daughter, the count
learned that she was living in poverty in
brooklyn. A detective found her at 1913
North Second street, Williamsburg, in great
poverty. Bolani had failed to find regular
employment, and the couple had lived mis-
erably on tue little money be made doing
odd jobs for different manufacturing Jewell
ers. The news of his daughters unhappiness
erased all anger against his daughter from
his heart. and the visit to the police court
had been made to secure her release from
her husband. The count wanted a warrant
for Bolanl's arrest for stealing the girl. He
became indignant when he was told that it
was not a crime for a workman to marry
the daughter Of rich man, and that he
had no complaint on which he could obtain
a warrant.
When Bolani returned to the three rooms
on the third floor Of the North Second street
tenement, which had been his home for
four months, no wife was there to welcome
him. Thinking she was visiting in tho
neighborhood he waited for her until
o'clock, aad then set out to seek her. He
learned that a tall stranger. who spoke
Italian huently, had called on her i'll the
early evening, and that the couple had gone
away together. Recognizing the descrip-
ton he was able to obtain as that of his
father-in law, Bolani gave way to despair.

certain that his Lucia had left him of her
own free will. and that she had ceased to
love him, he would kill himself. but that if
he found that she had been led from his side
by fraud or deceit he would surely kill the
man who had stolen her from him.
