MURDER OF A COUNTESS'
A GAMBLER AN]fBLACKMAILER
(Received March 4, 9 a.m.)
ROME, March 3. The Sicilian Countess Giulia Trigona (a Lady-in-Waithig to the Royal Court), who was killed with a hunting knife by Baron Vincent Paterno (also a Sicilian), who afterwards grievously wounded himself with a revolver, had resolved to cease her illicit relations with Paterno and devote herself to her three children. Paterno resented this decision, which supplied the motive for the tragedy. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) ROME, March 5. Queen Elena is taking care of Countess Trigona's two daughters. Baron Paterno is described as a gambler and blackmailer. Countess Trigona was little ' more than a girl. ' She had been induced to pay Paterno's debts, until his extortions developed into a scandal, compelling her retirement from the brilliant Court position. The tragedy has caused much grief in Court circles.
