THE WOMAN WITH THE PICTURES
The Career of Anna Cacaci Accused of
Smuggling a Fortune in Oils.

New YORK, October THE mystery
regarding the woman who is charged
with having smuggled $4,000 worth of
oil paintings was cleared up yesterday at
the custom house. Anna Louisa Church.
ill was her maiden name. She is now
the wife of DIR. Cacaci of Naples, and is
the divorced wife of William Campbell,
a wealthy wall paper manufacturer of
No. 51S West Forty-second street. She
is described as a fascinating woman, 36
wears old. She was the central figure of
a sensational horsewhipping case in 1883,
when she attempted to thrash her hus-
band in Central Park.
A divorce suit followed, and she was
granted $4,000 year alimony. She was
Conspicuous about New York for several
wears. 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 arriv-
ed, which are now in the custody of the
customs authorities.
The collection contained the product
of the brushes of nearly so old masters,
Among them was ''The Flight frem
Egypt" on wood, by Guido REM, with a
private valuation of $4,000 in her cata-
fogue, and 1.-THE Ascension Of Calvary, !"
by Rubens, privately valued at S25, 900.
There was difference between the pri-
vate and public catalogue valuation of
s25, 900 and $4,000 for s.christ Bearing
the Cross" on wood, by Leonardo da
Vinci. There was another picture, pri-
vately valued at $25,O 900, .'The Holy Fam
ily,'' on wood, by Andrea Vannucchi,
called Andrea del Sarto. The painting
is from the gallery of the late Duke Ri
vonia de Toledo, a descendant of Charles
V.
Although the customs authorities val
ue the seizure at $4,000, it is evident
from Mrs. Cacaci's catalogue that she ex-
pected to realize from $3.50, 900 to $780,
600 from the sale of the collection.
Whether the customs authorities will re-
lease the collection on payment of duty
or confscate them has not yet been de-
termined.

81 DECLINE TO ANSWER. /"
Potter of the Maverick Was Not a Very
Satisfactory Witness.

BosToN. October AT the hearing in
the Evans case before the Probate Court
in East Cambridge today, counsel for
Receiver Beal of the Maverick National
Bank, declared that for years before II
wing A. Evans's death there were specu-
lative accounts between Asa P. Potter,
formerly president of the Maverick Bank,
and Evans. and settlement made Oc-
tober 21. 1891, let Potter out of a bad
scrape. Receiver Beal charges that
there were two sets of speculative ac-
counts kept between the two men at two
different times. The latter account COW
cred the last year of Eyans's life and in
volved over $500, 900.
Mr.. Asa P. Potter was then examined
and firmly but courteously refused to
answer many of the questions put to
him.
Lawyer Collins asked Mr.. Potter-I
find the books of Evans q Co. overdrawn
to the amount of $642, ,461.03. Did you
have any securities?
Mr. Potter-I decline to answer.
Counsel-Would you decline to an
swer any questions in regard to the mat
ter?
Potter-I would.
Counsel-I find check on the Maver-
ick Bank, June, 1899, payable to the or
der of I. A. Evans & Co. What did you
give this check for Mr.. Potter?
Mr.. Potter-I decline to answer.
Odd you keep tie books or hire a
bookkeeper?
Mr.. Potter-I hired bookkeeper, Mr..
Charles M. Kellogg.
A dispute then arose as to the books in
the case.
Mr.. Potter said that the books were in
the coustody of the United States
Courts.
The counsel for the assignees asked
that the Judge give an order to allow Nh.
Beal to get the books in the case.
Judge Brooks said that he was not
aware that he could order the books
in suit to have Mr.. Potter criminate
himself.
Counsel for Mr.. Potter also objected
to the production of the books.
Mr.. Potter said that he had no control
of the books. He only knew of the
agreement made between Mr.. Hyde and
MI. Beal. He did not know Of what mo-
tive led to the agreement. Mr.. Potter
continuing said: Il don't consent here
to let Mr.. Beal have my books or any one
else that is antagonistic to me. / was
asked to sign the agreement and |
signed it.
II have nothing to hide in this matter,
but don't consent to self-criminating
evidence that might possibly arise
Question-Mr. Potter, what is your
private property valued at?
Mr.. Potter-The assignees have col
lected about 100000 on my private es-
tate.
Question What dividend was paid the
Maverick Bank from your personal
property.
Question-When was the dividend
paid?
Mr.. Potter--I believe it was paid some
time in June.

Despatches from walker.

WASHINGTON, October IA despatch
was received today at the Navy Depart
ment from Admiral Walker regarding
the battle at Macuto, Venezuela between
the government forces and revolutionists.
The officials refuse to make public it's
contents. 1t is inferred, as the result of
talk with ons official, that Admiral
Walkers despatch does not say that
Consul Hanna was fired upon by a Vene-
zuelau warship. Dispatches have also
been received from La Guayra, but are
likewise kept secret.
