COGNACCrs TERRIBLE REVENGE.
He Killed His Wife and Baby and Finally
the Woman's lIetrayer.

A cook named Cognacci. says a Florence special
to the New York SUH. who has been considered
one of the best artists in the culinary line not
in Florence alone. but in Italy. ard whose serv-
ices have been in demnnd by noble and princely
houses at high pay. recently fell in love with
bright and pretty German woman named Marie
Staubinger. Marie was a native of Munich
and the pair were settled in the palace OF Count
Corazgi. Cognacci being chef and Marie wait
ress. There the two lived happily for some
time, Marie being apparently devoted to her
Italisn husband and he equally devoted to her.
Count Cornzgi had an intimate friend and
frequent gaest a wealthy Florentine merchant
named Alinari. The latter while at Count
Corazgi's palace saw Marie and was deeply
fascinated by her. He made approaches to the
girl. which she ignored. and when lie became
holder in his advances she repulsed hIm. The
husband, Cognacci. was extremely Jealous Of
any attention shown TO his wife. and took oc-
casion, in the presence Of other servants, TO
warn her against Alinari. On one occasion
Cognacci .as beheadlng capon and lac held
up the bleeding aud fnttering fowl in front -
Marie and told her that if she ever proved falAe
he would treat her jnrt like that Marie only
laughed the other servants say.
Alinari continued his attentions and at length
by presents of money and other gifts he sue
ceeded in winning first aaries liberation ard
then her favor In the course Of the past week
ti,sre is no doubt Alipar and Merle were on
tert..s of criminal intimacy. The situati n did
not escape the jealous vigilance Of Cognacci,
who. however, waited uGti he had sbsola.e
proof before taking the course upon which lac
had evidently resolved. That proof he
obtained either on Friday or SATURDAY lie
did not confront his wife with the charge OF
infidelity but waited until he could find her
asleep. Esrie and her babe-for a child had
been born to Marie and Cofnacci were in bed
together when the husband took his rev &c.
He seized his wife by the throat and sps ly
strangled her. Then he smothered the INFANT
He had win him kitchen knife. and with this
he severed his wife's head from her body.
Ccgnacci then stole out Of the palace snd
made his way 10 the residence of hlinari lie
forced his way into the hour- ard rushed 10 the
merchants apartment The terror stricken ser
wants followed as fact as they dared, but were
in time only to hear Cognacci exclaim:
"Ah, wretch, you robbed me of Marie, and
she is dead and our infant. too; and you must
die. YOU robber and seducer."
Alnari gave terrible striek for help. but
almost at the same instant a pistol shot rang
out and Alinari fell dead.
Cognacci then attempted to- shoot himself,
but the servants rushed upon him and secured
him after q desperate struggle. The police
were called and Coenacci was bound and taken
TO prison, where he lies raving about Marie and
Alinaii and his child and calling for death 10

rushed out and into the telegraph ONCE slth a
lengthy message which, II is presumed. Was sent
TO somebody in the -four city. There was good
deal Of laughter toward the end OF the session.
and when some Of the cabinet started 90 leave
the room they went hack 20 hear Secretary
Rusk tell one Of his good stories.
There was absolute unAuimity of sentiment
among the Presidents advisers. All were sati--

and most of them declared that no true Harri-
