Girl Leaped From Steamship,

A strange romance wells the sad fate Of
a beautiful Italian girl, Giaconda Fiami,
who leaped overheard from the steamship
koenig Albert, at Quarantine, New York,
yesterday, and was drowned before help
could be summoned. The body was swept
to sea in the on-rushing tide. Valentino
Vallencno, who sailed with Giaconda from
Genoa, has been held, pending an investiga-
ton; The ship was not long from Genoa
when it was seen that the girl was afraid
or valentino and seemed to be within
ms power. She covered whenever he ap-
preached. but refused to speak of the
strange influence which he possessed over
her. On Tuesday the girl became hysteri-
cal, and in the ships hospital raved madly.
She cried necessarily and screamed in her
delirium that she would not marry the
man. Passengers the ship believed that
she had been abducted. Early yesterday a
white-robed figure appeared on deck and
before the deck watch could intercept 1t
the figure disappeared over the rail, There
was no cry, and the fast-moving tide car
ried the Italian girl out to sea. Valentino
smiled grinly when he heard of the giris
death. He declared he had never met the
girl before he boarded the ship
