The Parr Reward
the Washington Herald

From the Washington Herald.
 The sum of sl00.0O0 in cash is a tidy little fortune to fall into the hands of Richard Parr, the customs deputy who. 1t has been decided was primarily re- sponsible for uncovering the sugar frauds and thus securing over s2,0O0,000 of unpaid duties to the United States. It is report ed that Parr hoped that the government would allow him a greater sum, and 1t is probable that if the matter of suffi- cient reward had ever come into the courts jury would have granted Parr a greater proportion of the amount re-

 It may be argued by some stern moral ists and sticklers for official rectitude. that Richard Parr only did his duty as a customs deputy. That is true, of course, but we must also recognize as true the fact that he would probably have performed that duty faithfully with out hope of any extraordinary reward. The duty he performed was an exceed ingly difficult one. It required skilled detective work and firm determination to resist temptation.

The police learned that the lawyer,
Prilukoff was fugitive from justice,

He was then given the third degree

living happily with his wife and fam

proceedings. Struck by her great beau

after her divorce, left his family, en-
bezzled money and fled with her. Dur

Countess. He proposed marriage and
as he was immensely wealthy she ac-

I'd followed

under the countess spell and followed
her from place to place.
He-Priluk off was madly jealous of
both the Count and Naumoff, but the
Countess easily kept him in control
by her wiles.
Finally. according to Prilukoff, the
Countess became tired of Count Kan
arovsky and decided to throw in her
lot with Prilukoff alone. After in
ducing the count to take out a, life in
surance policy she urged Prilukoff to
kill him which he refused to do.
But the willy Countess still had Maui
moff, and according to the lawyer, she
worked on his jealousy to inspire the
deed. She told him that if the Count
was put out of the way she would
marry him.
Crazed with the hope of winning the
object of his admiration Naumoff
made his way to Venice and murdered
the Count in his bed.
Following Prilukoff's confession, the
Countess, herself confessed. but at her
trial denied it.
Naumoff, in the meantime, had con-
fessed to the Italian authorities and
confirmed Prilukoff's statements.
