husband. Count kamarowski, put into
execution by Nicholas Naumoff. her respon
sbility cannot be acknowledged by modern
alienists."
On the other hand. the late Cesare Lom-
broso, the first Of criminologists, declared
that the Countess was essentially sane. eX'
cept that she had a congenital tendency TO
commit murder. In his report he said:
IF the Countess actually conceived,
planned and carried out the tragedy which
resulted in the murder Of Count Kamarow-
ski in Venice, she is the most remarkable
criminal of modern times. Her methods
show an absolute mastery OF masculine
sentiment, passion and covetousness. Her
idea of having one lover STAY her husband
and then having another lover dispatch him
so as to prevent him from becoming ac'
cuser is absolutely original.
THE crimes of the Borgias and of the
Strozzi offer nothing surprising this.
'The reported descent OF the Countess
from Cesare Borgia through several indi.
rect lines is an interesting suggestion, and
certainly plausible. We know that such
highly specialized congenital criminal trait
as that displayed by the most celebrated
family of prisoners in history is domi-
undiminished by many generations. and
even after many intervening direct ances.
tors have been apparently free from it.
'lder ancestry and early history must
have been very remarkable. 1t is unusual
for one of criminal proclivities to plan so
rational a conspiracy that its execution
could have been accepted without question
by the public. Had her lawyer, Prilukoff,

dead. His wife then obtained a divorce
ccedings and became fascinated by her.
While the Countess and Prilukoff were
together in Vienna, it was learned that
they were much in the company of a
young man with very gloomy and nerv-
Gus manner A photograph OF the man
arrested at Verona was sent to Vienna
and recognized there as that OF this un.
known young man. He was Nicholas
Naumoff, young student Of good family
and excellent character.
The Vienna police put Prilukoff through
the third degree. At first he asserted
that the murder was solely planned by
Naumoff, that he had sat up all night with
two detectives to protect Count Kamarow-
ski in Venice, but that Naumoff had
slipped in unseen and killed the Count.
When Priukoff was shown letters from
the Countess encouraging him in the plot
he broke down and confessed that she
had really planned the murder. Her idea
was to use Naumoff's mad devotion to her
to make him kill Count Kamarowski and
then commit suicide. Prilukoff also told
how she had fascinated him into stealing
his clients money in Moscow and desert
ing his family. She also coerced her maid
into helping in the plot.
iPrilukoff was sent on to Venice for trial.
In the meantime Naumof had also con.
fessed how, like the other, he had been
used as a tool in the murder by the fatal
Countess.
The trial took place in the historic

had the assassin, Naumoff, been killed as
planned, or had the confessions of the
Countess and Priukoff not beenshown him,
he would undoubtedly have committed
him, he would undoubtedly have committed
suicide, as the Countess had foreseen. On
learning that she had betrayed him, the de-
sire for vengeance, which could only be at
tanned by living, naturally possessed his
mind, thus diverting his Unborn homicidal
tendency from suicide"

The late Count Paul Kamarowski a
wealthy Russian nobleman, had a villa in
the Campo Santa Maria del Giglio 1T
Venice. One morning in 1907 he was found
dying of bullet wounds. It was believed
that , had been attacked by a Russian
Nihilist, for he had been known as a cruel,
overbearing army officer and Government
official.
The Italian police arrested at Verona a
young Russian named Nicholas Naumoff,
who was coming away from Venice.
In the meantime news had been received
from Vienna that Count Kamarowski had
recently insured his life for 100000 in
favor of his newly married wife, Countess
Tarnowski. The Count had been in the
RussianJapanese war, had had fever. and

She planned that Naumoff should com
nit suicide after killing Count Kamarow-
ski, in order that the secret of her plot
might he buried forever, but this inten
ton failed.
The decision to free her must be the
result of widespread belief that she is
suffering from irresistible homicdal in
sanity which forces her to take life. That
such condition might result from the
inheritance OF drop Of Borgia blood is
generally accepted in Italy, where the dor
rifiying deeds of that notorious family are
as familiar as nursery tales Many, never
theless, see in her release miscarriage
of justice. At the time of the trial she

Countess Tarnowski, convicted Of melting

In spite OF the war, this has set many
people talking again of the most famous
murder trial Of modern Italy. in which the
psychology Of a woman with all the chara-
teristics Of Borgia and many additional
traits OF perversity was revealed to an
astonished world. Indeed. it was shown
that the Countess was remotely de.
seconded from the historic family OF the
Borgias.
