Armed Guard Outside Elm
hurst Stops Werner
from Entering.
POLICEMAN SPOUSE
NO LONGER HER HERO
Romance of a Runaway Fades,
and Couple Part-First Wife
Said to Know Where He Is.

The romance of the former MISS
Guilia Morosini, daughter Of the late
Italian banker and her hero police
man has gone a-glimmering.
Instead Of the lifetime Of devotion
she expected when she married Arthur
NJ. Werner one Of the finest" mounted
rolicemen, armed Burns detectives now
guard the grounds Of her home at
RiverdaIe against her husbands en-
trance. and. it is freely stated, they are
separated.
The final break between the couple
came last Thursday. The previous day,
after having received reports from IN
vestigators Of the Burns Detective
Agency. Mrs. Werner asked that men
be sent TO her home the next day.
When Werner arrived at the Riyerdale
estate on Thursday evening he found 10
his surprise that two watchmen whom
he had hired were gone and that the
detectives had taken their places.
He was refused admission at one
gate. Then he went to another and
was repulsed there. After protesting
against this treatment and demanding
TO see his wife a servant brought him
a letter.
You are not welcome the letter
read. "and these men have been sta
toned to keep you from coming in.
do not wish you ever to live here
again, and you must not come back
Then. rather inconsistency, the next
sentence read:
you may come here next Wednes-
day and receive all your possessions.
| do not want any of your things on
the place"
This step was the crucial one, and
last night Mrs. Werner was in confer
ence with her lawyer, Joseph p. Cot
ton, jr, of Spooner & Cotton, TO decide
just what form the action for formal
separation should take.
The separation so far is not known
to have reached formal agreement. To
all inquiries representatives of Mrs.
Werner refer to Spooner & Cotton, her
lawyers, at No. IA Wall street. Mrs.
Werner herself has refused to talk
since il was known that she was hav
ing domestic difficulties, and has sur
rounded herself with a bodyguard
which effectually prevents approach.
Werner Won't Talk.
Werner, tall, good looking and carry
ing the appearance Of affiuence, is
equally reticent as to his domestic
affairs. He was last at the home of his
wife in Riverdale last Thursday. Since
then he has been at the Knickerbocker
Hotel, and more recently, il was stated
was seen at No. S3S West End avenue,
an apartment house with it's lowest
rentals at $1,000 for a small suite.
1t is at this apartment house that the
secret of the differences between the
Werners is hidden. Those familiar
with the situation say that without
doubt the principal reason for the
trouble is that Werner did not discon-
tinue his communications with his first
wife, Alice. from whom he was
divorced in September, 1910. four
months before he married Miss Moro
SIM.
At the West End avenue address
mentioned it was denied that Mrs.
Werner lived there. When the
apartment Of Mrs. Alice Redding was
called up on the telephone, however, a
woman's voice answered to say first
she was the Mrs. Redding concerned,
and then to admit that she was for
merly Mrs. Werner. wife Of the police
man.
II know all about the present affair.""
the voice said. but naturally ! can
say nothing about it, Yes. Mr.. 'Wer-
ner Is here now. Oh, no; he couldn't
think of discussing the matter
Just how careful Mrs. Redding" and
