After having served less than half of her eight years' pris on sentence, the Countess Marie Tar novski, often spoken of as the most beautiful and captivating queen of the great criminal adventuresses of his tory, has been pardoned by the Italian government. The announcement of the pardon has aroused much Interest and not a little public criticism of the action of the authorities in setting at liberty a woman who, in the language of Prof. Rossi of Genoa, the distin guishes alienist and psychologist,, is suffering from "a diabolical malady which makes her unanswerable for ber ucts, and who should be so confin ed as to prevent her from injuring others or herself."

Prilukoff. she asserted at her trial, suggested that murder was far pref erable to matrimony. Then it was that the pot to insure the count's life end then kill him began to be hatched. The first step was to induce him to Insure his life in her favor for $100,- coo. The next step was the Inflaming or Naumoff against Kamarovskl, anJ this was effected in a simple and in genius manner. A telegram was draft ed, addressed to the countess, and signed with Kamarovskl's name. It contained the foulest Insults against Voth the Countess and Naumoff. Then Prilukoff and, the Countess caused it to be shown to Naumoff, and the lat ter, In a frenzy of rage, hurried to Venice to take vengeance on the sup posed slnriderer. Lover Kills Her Admirer.
