Vittorio Moschini, member of the
Italian chamber Of deputies, married
the beautiful Olga Lulu Davis of Aus
tin, Tex, in 1910. In less than a year
he tired Of her and sought to put her
aside. AS divorce is not recognized
In Italy, he brought suit for nullifica-

cal Irregularities. Against his wife he
preferred the most humiliating
charges, determined as he was to
bring her into disgrace If necessary
to accomplish his purpose.
The court in Rome has just decid-
ed that these charges are groundless;
that the marriage was legal and
cannot be dissolved Mochini must
continue to support his wife, and II
the couple lives apart he must pay
her at least $500 a month.

nor social position. She spent most
of her girlhood days on ranch in
Brown county, Texas. Her father.
James Davis, was gun fighter" and
sheriff, and in attempting to round up

killed. The widow moved to Austin
and the daughter in order to help her

out an income, obtained a place as
clerk in dry goods store. Her
beauty attracted much attention. and
through friend she procured money
to go to New York and study for the

A wealthy woman whom Miss Davis
met In New York hired her to go to
Europe with her as companion for two
years In hotel in Vichy, Signor
Moschini, then on a vacation tour,
caught sight OF the western beauty
and fell in love with her. He sought
an introduction, and passionate Latin
