who shot himself after lie had stabbed

OF the beauties of Queen Helena's
court yesterday, is improving today
and probably will be restored to an
swer for his crime. Italian courts
sometimes deal leniently with the au-
thors Of tragedies growing out OF az
fairs OF the heart.
It was ascertained today that the
cause Of the murder was tne refusal
of TIE princess to give the Daron
$1,000 with which to pay his debts.
II had been generally accepted that
when the queens lady in waiting met
Paterno at the obscure hotel her visit
was one of renunciation. the imperiar
wishes that she have done with the
lieutenant and seek conciliation
with her husband having prevailed.
Whether this supposition was cor
rect can be made known perhaps only
by her slayer. but the police investi-
CATION Las left no doubt that Pater-
nos first consideration was to obtain
funds from the source that had snp-
Piled njm before. Everywhere deep
sympathy Is expressed for the qtleen,
who, II Is known, had made every
effort to bling to an end the uncon-
ventional alliance and reunite the
prince and princess.
Indeed, it Is possible that TIE mur-
der was the Indirect outcome of the
insistence Of both tho queen and his
majesty that an end be put TO d sitiia-
tion that for some time hal been fruit
ful of back stairs gossip.
The two daughters Of the princess,
agen Z and H. are being shielded
from knowledge of the truth.
Palermo is not without friends at
this time, These point out that he
was beside himself with infatuation,
and being only 34 years of age, was
eleven years the junior of the woman
whose beauty might have turned the
head of an oller and wiser man. He
saw The princess frequently at court
functions when she was at iner best.
and no one denies that she encour-
aged his attentions.
The prince, WHO learned OF the
situation through attempted black
mail on the part, ii is said. of one OF
Paterno's creditors, who held check
made by the princess, had instituted
proceedingse for separation, but these
were abruptly ended when the failure
of the princess to appear was ex-
| planned.
