One OF The MarQuiSSeS
OF VitelleShi.
SUICIDES IN THE CITY OF NEW
YORK, AFTER DISP0SING OF
HIS EFFECTS BY WILL.
He Was An Officer In The Italian
Army. But Had Remained Away
Too Long On Leave And
Did Not Return, Was In
The Printing Business

New York, Nov. 27,-The man who
killed himself in Newark, N. j., on
Wednesday night is now known to have
been Marquis Muzio de Giazzi Vitelle-
schi. The unfortunate marquis, ac-
cording to the Herald, formerly was an
officer in the Italian navy, but is said
to have deserted his ship in this city,
rather than possibly face charges of
remaining ashore longer than his leave
allowed and quarreling with brother
officer.
The young man had been employed
as a printer, but a paper which was
found in his room told who he was.
1t was headed "Testomento," and is as
follows:
The undersigned Muzzio de Giazzi de
Vitelleschi, son of the Marquis Frances
co Maria Vitelleschi and Of Virginia
Borelli, his wife, declares to have sold
his little topographic establishment to
Raphael Capone, of No. "A Prince
street, Newark.
1t is my first wish that this place pass
to the above named, Signor Capone.
To my friend DR.. Guisto Calvi, leave
and bequeath the judgment note of s115.
Here he names the person against
whom he obtained judgment and refers
to the man and his wife in fiattering
terms.
Continuing the will reads:
II have some other things, as follows:
A gun, dirk and other pieces of furni-
ture and these 1 leave TO my dear
friend, Casimir Scoppitone.
1.-The dough roller for making maca-
roni l leave to the Rev. Frank Pesato
for his sister.
THE revolver, with which kill my
self, wish to have pass to Miss Mar
garet Treichler, of Bangor.
THE pen with which / write this, my
last will and testament, in the full pos
session of all my faculties, leave as a
souvenir to Miss Dora Meyer.
Written and signed a few hours be-
fore my suicide
MUZIO DE GIAZZI,
OF the house of the Marquises of Vitel-
leschi."
On the upper margin of the will ap-
parently written with trembling hand
was: Il am going to death as l should
go singing to Ajax"
The body was taken TO Mullins
morgue and when the truth as to the
young mans identity became known
many compatriots in Newark paid their
respects to the dead.
Rafael Capone. one of the mans init
mate friends, has taken charge of his
estate and is arranging a funeral be-
fitting one of his rank.
r. 4, ss,
senator in the Italian chamber and
the family is said to be one of the old
est in the Italian nobility.
He was a tall and finely proportioned
man, of aristocratic appearance.
He had been educated for the Italian
naval service and held a commission as
lieutenant on the Aetna, which took
part in the Columbian celebration and
naval parade in New York bay in 1892.
While his vessel remained in the har-
Dor Vitelleschi made many friends, not
only among the fashionable folks of
New York, who received the courtly
young Italian nobleman with open
arms.
Not long ago his father sent him a
draft for $4,000 and other remlttances
had been received by him at regular
intervals. He engaged in the printing
business in Arlington street sometime
ago and was apparently in a fair way
to prosper. His title had been dropped
and among his friends he was known
as plain Muzio Vitelleschi.
His intimate friends say that he had
been in love with two American girls,
who had not reciprocated his affec-
lions. He is also said to have brood
ed over the death of an elder brother
which occurred a few months ago and
last week he received word that his
father, who is rs years old. had just
married an eighteen-year-old girl in
Naples.
