An extraordinary motion for a new
trial and a motion to set aside the YER
dict were filed simultaneously in SUI
perior court April 16. 1914. Among the
grounds alleged In the motion for a
new trial was that of newly discovered
evidence The motion to set aside the
verdict was based on the ground that
Franks constitutional rights had been
violated by the trial court. His attor-
news alleged that Frank had not been
given a fair trial because of the spirit
of mob violence that pervaded the
courtroom" and also that his constitu-
tionat rights had been violated because
frank and his attorneys had been alb
cent from the courtroom, without

defense as to have aroused suspicion, and had the assassin Naumoff, been killed as planned, or had the confessions of the Countess and Prilukoff 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- tained by living, naturally possessed his mind, thus diverting his inborn homicdal tendency from suicide."
 The Countess at the time of her trial was barely thirty years of age of majes- tic, yet supple figure, rising to nearly five feet nine, with Grecian bust and neck, and with great green-black eyes, quick 70 melt into softness or harden into hate, and voluptuous, insinuating mouth.

 The late Count Paul Kamarowski, a wealthy Russian nobleman, had a villa in the Campo Santa Maria del Giglio at Venice One morning in 1907 he was found dying of bullet wounds. It was believed that fs had been attacked by Russian Nihil1st,'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 $200 OOO in favor of his newly married wife, Countess Tarnowski. The Count had been in the Russian-Japanese war, had had fever. and was evidently bad risk. One company re-

tempted suicide. Whether guilty or not of planning the plot of murdering her husband, Count Kamarowski, put into execution by Nicholas Naumoff, her respon- sibility 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. sne 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 slay 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 surpassing 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 a highly specialized congenital criminal trait as that displayed by the most celebrated family of poisoners in history is a domi- nant characteristic, and may be inherited undiminished by many generations, and even after many intervening direct ances- tors have been apparently free from it. Her ancestry and early history must have been very remarkable. It is unusual for one of criminal proclivities to plan so rational conspiracy that it's execution could have been accepted without question by the public Had her lawyer, Prilukoff. in the first instance not so elaborated his

koff, a wealthy middle-aged Moscow law yer, whom she had taken from his wife and family
 She planned that Naumoff should com init suicide after killing Count Kamarow- ski, in order that the secret of her plot might be buried forever, but this inten- tion failed
 The decision, to free her must be the result of widespread belief that she is suffering from irresistible homicidal in- sanity which forces her to take life. That such a condition might result from the inheritance of drop of Borgia blood is generally accepted in Italy, where the dor rifying 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 was studied by the most famous alienists in Italy, who differed considerably in their views of her. Professor Rossi, of Genoa, one of these alienists, stated:

of Este. Duke of Ferrara, the richest prince of Italy.
 Many horrible, fantastic crimes, in ad- dition to murder, are charged against the Borgias
 The probability that the Countess Tar nowski has inherited a homicidal taint from these monstrous ancestors appears to be strongly confirmed by the fact that .sa of her cousins have recently been convicted of murder. One of them is Count Bogdan Roniker, recently sentenced For the murder of his wife's brother, and Ehe other is Count De Lacy, convicted of the killing of man named Patchenko. l The Countess was convicted five years Rgo in Venice of inducing her admirer, Nicholas Naumoff, to murder her recently acquired second husband, Count Kama rowski, in order to obtain the enormous insurance policy the latter had recently made out for her benefit. She was aided h the plot by another admirer, M Prilu-

Tarnowski, wealthy nobleman of hieff, Russia. He is said to have shot her lover dead His wife then obtained divorce and Prilukoff represented her in the pro. ceedings 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- ous 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, a 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 Prilukoff 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 Naumoffs mad devotion to her to make him kill Count Kamarowski and then commit suicide. Prilukoff also told now sne nad 1asclnated him into stealing his clients money in Moscow and desert ing his family. She also coerced her maid into helping in the plot.
 Prilukoff was sent on to Venice for trial. In the meantime Naumoff had also con- fessed how, like the other, he had been used as tool in the murder by the fatal Countess.
 The trial took place in the historic Tribunal of St. Mark, at Venice, where the Council of Ten formerly sat. The

Venice, June is.

Venice, June is. TWBNTY-FOU hours after the dec
 laration of war by Italy against Aus tria, the King of Italy interrupted his military cares to sign the pardon of the Countess Tarnowski, convicted of melting others to murder her husband
 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 woman with all the chara- teristics of a Borgia and many additional traits of perversity was revealed to an astonished world. Indeed, it was shown that the Countess was remotely de- scended from the historic family of the Borgias
 Her acts were certainly worthy of Cesare Borgia, Duke of Valentinois, who poisoned with mysterious, untraceable poisons at his splendid banquets the guests who were -E.-

~@% t%aAA at VI ttf4O lAA tions. An equally strong likeness to the Countess may be seen in Lucrezia Borgia, the sister of Ce- sare.
 Cesare Borgia, who ap- pears to have been the worst monster of the fam fly, was the son of Rodrigo Borgia and was born in 149S. The family held a dominating position dur ing the era of splendid lux ury, criminal intrigue and secret poisoning that pre- vailed in Italy through the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
 Cesare begun his ca -eer by assassinating his cider brother. Giovanni Borgia, Duke of Gandia, in order to obtain his estates. He carved out a new realm for himself in Italy by in- trigue and murder, and chiefly by the use of my sterious persons whose presence could not be traced. To put the climax on his career he is be- lieved to have poisoned his own father.
 His sister Lucrezia Bor- gia was a woman of won dorful beauty and fascina- tion. She is credited with having been an accom- plice of her brother in his worst crimes and poison ings. Her three husbands peris h e d mysteriously or violently. The first Giovanni Sforza, Lord of Pesaro, was divorced from his wife before he died. The second, Alfonso, son of the king of Naples, was murdered at Cesare Bor- gia's instigation. because he wished another hus- band for is sister. The third husband was Alfonso

 The Countess was then found in the Hotel Bristol in Vienna. With her was prominent Moscow lawyer named Luiz Prilukoff. They occupied six rooms in the fashionable hotel Shortly before Count Kamarowski had been with his wife in Vienna and had then gone on to Venice. She had pretended to go on to Kieff, Rus sia, but returned to Vienna.
 It should be explained that she was first married at the age of eighteen to Count

TOTAL ABSTINENCE
UNION MEETS
CATHOLIC cHuRcHMEN HOLD
44TH ANNUAL SESSION
IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, June THE Catholic To
tai Abstinence union at its forty.fourth
annual convention in Paulist hall, 8O4
Wabash avenue, Sunday, officially join
ed forces with the Dry Chicago feder-
alton, and adopted resolutions declar-
ing for the abolition of the liquor
traffic.
Churchmen who condemned alcohol
included the Rt. Rev. Bishops Paul P.
Rhode, and Alexander J. McGavick.
The Rev. P. j. O'Callaghan, president
of the national organization of Cath
olic total abstainers, in picturing the
attitude to be assumed towards the
liquor business, said that from the
standpoint of the Catholic it could best
be expressed "in the words Of Pope
Plus X. of happy memory, Let us
Catholics be in the very van of the
anti-alcoholic movement
Let there be no straw men on the
committee we appoint to cooperate
with the Dry Chicago federation .
urged the Rev. Thomas e. Cox in re-
ferring to the appointment Of five COM
mittee members to be selected by the
officers of the Catholic Total Abstin-
ence union.
I'VE must have committee which
will be present at all the meetings of
the Dry Chicago federation and lend
it strong support that will be felt"
Supt G. F. Rinehart of the Dry Chi
cago federation, Charles E. Coleman,
chairman, of the board of managers
of the same organization, and F. B.
Gilbert, attorney for the Anti-Saloon
league, were among secular workers
who addressed the convention by in
vitation. Delegates to the convention
urged activity in watching the meet
ings Of the council license committee.
The Rev. Thomas E. Cox, in de-
nouncing the liquor traffic, declared
that Chicago is one of it's strongest in
trenchments
But liquor is bound to go in Chi
cago, even if it turns out that this is
the last place to offer resistance" the
clergyman assured his hearers.
Bishop McGavick, in a sermon at st.
Mary's church, said that the world
faces new understanding about al
cohol-that what formerly was called
stimulation was the brain fighting
against the entrance of poison. Bishop
Rhode termed total abstinence the
perfection Of temperance"
