directly prompted by a theatrical re-
presentation Of "Othello." 1t was the
case of young Italian who insured
the life of his servant to his own bene-
ft. and after waiting couple of
months smothered him in his bed one
night. At his trial the criminal calmly
remarked that he had lately seen
ftwice he actually went, probably with
the object of perfecting his method
the opera "Othello," and that he only
did to the young man what Othelo did
to Desdemona," and he also confessed
that in the very act Of smothering his
victim "the scene in the theatre was
vividly before him as it was before
him now" This Is one case, at any
rate, for Sir Henry Irving to ponder
over.
