ITALIAN EDITOR IS
LIBEL DEFENDANT
EttOre Patr;Zi Accuses Mancinl
of La Critica of Slandering
His Good Name
Objects to InsinuatiOns That He
POcketed Coin Gathered
for Verdi Monument

Editor Ettore Patrizi of L'Italia, the
Italian daily newspaper, swore to two
warrants in misdemeanor libel yes
terday against G. Mancini, editor of
the small gossip weekly, La Critica,
who four years ago was forced to
spend two months in the county Jail
on account of articles attacking the
good name of Patrizi.
LItalia has been taking subscrip-
tions for a Verdi monument to be
placed in Golden Gate park, depositing
the money in the Italian-American
NJ. G. Fontana, former supervisor, is
chairman of the monument association.
CALLS DISGUISE THIN
The two articles quoted in the COM
plants were printed a year ago in
November. but Patrizi explains that
many similar attacks have followed.
In them, Mancini thinly disguises Pa
triZi as San Rocchino."
One of the articles reads in transla-
tion:
1T is some time that San Rocchino
does not publish in his paper the sub
scription for the Verdi monument. San
Rocchino is too much enamored of the
little heap of money boarded up, and
in order not to part with it. has taken
the subscription out of his paper, hop
ing to bury the monument in public
oblivion"
The second complaint quotes from
Mancini's comment on the appointment
of Patrizi as an agent by Wells
Fargo.
APPOINTMENT ENOKES SATIRE
The appointment to such a high
position of trust was given to the
deserving man for his great solicitude
displayed in not erecting the Verdi
monument with the money collected by
means of public subscription, and which
he abusively kept for several years
deposited in his name in a bank. Our
compliments to the Wells-Fargo for
a so precious selection and our wish
TO San Rocchino to remain so long in
the new place.
The warrant was signed by. Police

most venerable chronicles, for upon
diving into ancient history we have no
trouble at all In proving that Plato
was called the Attic Bee" and Socra-

least doubt but that many OF our sur
names come from nicknames applied
to our ancestors, such, for instance as

julius Caesar was popularity styled
"Baldhead," and even the third Ram

Egyptian word which signifies "limpy."
No one has been able to escape the
blIghting or benign influence Of the
nickname. Kings. queens. philosophers,
divines, statesmen, as well as many
other eminent persons, have been made
to prosper or suffer by having some
appropriate or ridiculous sobriquet be-
slowed upon them.

Mile. de Rochechouart.
The Duke de Richelieu married when
seventeen years of age Mile. de Roche
chouart, n little girl of twelve. AS was
.he custom in the eighteenth century,
the young bridegroom set out on his
travels after the ceremony, and the
child wife remained with his relations
in Paris. Three years passed, and the
duke (then Count de Chinon). who had
received many charming letters and a
charming miniature from his wife dur
ing his absence. determined to return
home.
On his arrival he was met on the
grand staircase of the Hotel de Richie
lieu by his family, and, to his horror,
instead of the pretty girl of fifteen
that he expected to see, the count saw
n little hunchback who was none other
than his wife. The unhappy young
man, who was horror stricken, left
Paris that night and for fifteen years
remained away.
The poor little wife possessed a beau
tiful and generous disposition, and, so
far from being emblttered by her hus-
bands behavior, she did her best to
prevent any family dissensions arising
through it and went to live on her
estate OF Courteilles, near Paris. 1t Is
said that she was deeply In love with
the duke, and In time the accounts OF
her unsefishness and devotion to his
family so touched her husband that
he went to visit her.
The first visit led to many. and this
