TRAGEDY SHOCKS PARIS
1 ove-crazed Mans Attempt to
Enter Woman's Rooms Frus-
trated by .Washingtonian
By G. F. BERTELLI,
Universal Service.


PARIS, Jan. 27.-Paris was
aghast tonight over the tragic
ending of a love drama as thrill
ing as any movie, in which
Alfred Ortega, wealthy Argen-
tinian, spurned and laughed At by
Mrs. Jean Nash, New York di-
vorcee, known for hersbeauty on
both sides Of the Atlantic. killed
himself at Cannes after attempt
ing to break into Mrs. Nash's
apartment. Mrs. Nash disap-
peared from Cannes and has not
been located since the suicide.
TOLD OF THREAT.
The event bore many resemblances
to that in which Peggy Joyce fig
ured not long ago, when her South
American admirer, Senior Errazuriz,
tried to blow out his brains when
Peggy refused to accept his atten-
tons:
A few days ago Mrs. Nash told
friends that Ortega had threatened
to kill himself if she refused to
marry him.
II told him to go ahead" she
said. az thought he was only
fooling."
The same night Mrs. Nash was
awakened by a noise outside of her
window in the Carlton Hotel at
Cannes. At the same time, Erskine
Gwynne, Washington society man,
occupying an adjoining apartment,
heard the noise and opening the
window saw Ortega, CARRIED in
pajamas, drop from a cornice and
run along wall passing under the
windows of Gwynne's and Mrs.
Nash's apartments.
FOUND IN GARDEN.
Aided by Pierre Merrillon, the
| erstwhile fiance of Peggy Joyce,
Gwynne seized the love-crazed Ar
gentinian and pulled him through
! the window. Ortega was turned
over to hospital attendants, raving
and crying out that he wanted to
die, that he could not live under
the scorn of the beautiful Divorce.
The evening after his attempt
to climb into the boudoir of Mrs.
Nash Ortega evaded the surveil-
lance of his guards, procured a re-
volver, and was found later in the
garden of the hospital with two
bullet wounds above his heart.

T AIDES, read this: The ap-
- pellate division of the SUI
preme court of New York de-
cided against the "single stand
ard" of morals when you sue
for hard cash. A man may re-
cover money from another man
for criminal relations with his
wife. A wife can not recover
damages from another woman
for criminal conduct with her
husband. She must also prove
that the other woman has taken
away the husbands affection.
There is a compliment to
womankind hidden in that. The
court assumes that before a
woman goes wrong her affec-
ton must be won. Whereas a
man makes an animal or a fool
of himself while his affections
remain intact, safe by the
hearthstone.
