 NEW YORK, Oct. 7-The mystery re gnrdins the woman who is charged with smuggling $i0,0 worth of oil paint ings was cleared up yesterday at the Gus tom House. Anna Louise Churchill was her maiden name. Sle is now the wife of Dr. Cac0c, of Naples, and is the di- vorced wife of William Campbell, wealthy wallpaper manufacturer of No. 5iS West 42d street. She is deScribed as fasclnating woman, 36 years old. She was the central figure of n sensational horsewhipping case in 1885, when she at tempted to thrash her husband in Central Park.
 A divorce suit followed and she was granted $4, 900 year alimony. She was conspicuous about New York for several years. She went to Europe in 1888, and met Dr. Cacaci, a wealthy physician and speculator in fine paintings. She cut a tremendous figure in European capitals and watering places for several years, and returned to this country in August, 1891. Last January the paintings ar rived, which are now in the custody of the customs authorities.
 The collection was so large and vulua- ble, containing 106 paintings in all, that suspicious were aroused She swore that they were her own personal effects, and had been in use in her own household for over one year. Treasury Inspectors Trait teur and Sendeus were put upon the Case. Mrs. Cacac went to Saratoga ill the sum mer It was discovered that she was circulating a catalogue of the paintings. She sold about 20 of the less valuable ones.
 Inspector Traitteur traced the pictu res to the Manhattan and Lincoln Safe De posit companies. The lot in the Manhat- tan Safe \Deposit Company was entered in | the name of her friend, James F. Cald- | well, the starter of race horses. Seizure was made on Wednesday, although tn c | sheriff Ihad levied on the paintings in the Lincoln Safe Deposit Company on a l judgment obtained by Stenographer Mon chan. He sued to recover fees for steno l graphic work in Mrs. Cacacis divorce case In the supplementary proceedings instituted by him, about two weeks after the paintings arrived, she swore that shC owned no property of any sort This tes | timony contradicts the oath she took d the Custom House.
 Mrs. Cacaci assumed an air of great in dignation yesterday when she called on Deputy Collector Phelps regarding the seizure. She claimed that Traitteur haC made love to her in Saratoga, and thi was his method of revenge because sht repulsed his love. She said that sh would have those paintings out of tn Custom House very quickly. Her friends Mir. Caldwell, Police Superintendent Byrnes and other men with pull, would take care of Inspector Traitteur' charges, she averred.
 Although the Customs authorities valu the seizure at $11O, 900, it is evident fror Mrs. Cacaci's catalogue that she expecte to realize from $250, 900 to $500, 900 iron the sale of the collection. Whether tn
 Customs authorities will release the col
 lection on payment of duty or contiscat
 them has not yet been determined.
