The arrest of Angelo Dclnocc and his
alleged wife, at Livingston, $. l.. on the
charge of Counterfciting, has disclosed
"a remarkable story of the dark life
which both the man and woman have
been leading. Delnoce is now in jail in

United States Commissioner Bellows.
The woman has also been held in 81 800
bail, and 1t is not at all likely that any
of the wealthy friends or relatives of

bondsmen.

legal wife and children for more three
years. belongs to a most respectable
family. He IL said to be one of the most
expert engravers In the country. and,

ness. His infatuation for other women

for the first time stories were circulated
