COUNTESS TELLS
OE "FATAL LOVE"
Maris Tarnowski Writes in Her
Cell of How Passion Led to
Slaying Husband.
ROME. Aug. 21. —Annie Vivanti, the
English-Italian poetess and novelist, is
about to publish the manuscript of the
memoirs of Countess Maris Tarnowski,
written by the latter during her eight
years in Trani penitentiary for com
plicity in the murder of Count Kame
•owski by the Russian student, Nau
now, in Venice, in 1906.
Several attempts have been made to
interest the minister of justice and
King Victor in an application for a
pardon, but the countess is now re
signed to serve out the sentence and
employs the wearisome hours on her
hook telling the life story of a beautiful
woman, climaxing in fierce love that
obscures all other sentiments and leads
to complicity in the crime at Venice.
Mme. Vivanti first met the countess
in Milan prison, where the latter had
been removed because of too much lib
erty in the Venice jail. It was disclosed
that the beautiful prisoner received
flowers and dainties from admirersand
also Russian cigarettes. The countess
feigned illness to be placed in the jail
infirmary and also simulated religious
fervor to interest Cardinal Cavallari
patriarch of Venice, through the inter
mediary of the jail chaplain.
"History of a Noble Soul.”
The poetess encouraged the countess
to write her memoirs and promised her
co-operation in the English translation.
Mme. Vivanti said:
"The book is now ready. It tfill be
a history of a noble soul lost in laby
rinth of passion, and contain much that
did not come to light at the trial. Every
society woman will recognize herself at
some stage of the heroine's life. The
book is not altogether love, but is also a
picture of a personage towering high
for his tine sentiments and sanctity of
his own life. This man is Count
O’Rourke, father of the countess, who
gave his consent for its publication aft
er reading the manuscript. The count
is the only man who always stood by
his daughter. Every three months he
leaves his castle, near Viev, where he
spends the life of a reeluse. to travel
five days and see his daughter two
hour.-. Hi Is 80 years old and has trav
eled twenty times to his daughter in
jail.
“Another i haracte.r in the book is
Tania, only son of the countess by her
first husband. The boy is eleven years
old. a page at the Russian court, and
ignorant of hie mother's terrible fate.
He prays nightly before an empty
frame that once held a picture of him
self in his amt he''s' lap. This picture is
now in possession of the countess and
the only ornament in her cell. The
world will know a different Countess
Tarnowski .vhtn site is released from
the penitentiary."
Many Literati in Prison.
The faits reveal Italian penitentia
ries as fine places for literary work. The
countess is not the only prisoner who
has published a book. Dr. Murri, of
Bologna university, serving a life sen
tence for the murder of his brother-in
law. Count Bonmartini, to allow his
sister to marry Dr Seechi, has written
a play, a novel and tragedy in verse,
after the Green example. The play
failed in Florence two years ago.
Varsolna, last of the Sicilian brig
ands. serving 30 years for a double
murder, wrote a play favorably re
ceived at Cantanla. A long account was
written by Abbatemagio, who turned
crown's evidence in the Camorra trial,
concerning the Cuoccolo murders, with
sketches of all the leading Camorrists
in or out of jail.
Convict Emilio Bosehetti, who was
caught in Italy after absconding with
several thousand dollars belonging to
the Italian consul at fienver. and is
solving five years, has written five
novels and i dozen short stories.

How Crook Became Honest Aiderman
STORY OF A REAL VALJEAN
William Burke, of Philadelphia,
Tells How He Turned From
Life of Crime.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 21.—When
Common Councilman William Burke,
one of the leading reform eouneilmen,
who represents the Thirty-third ward
of this city, discovered he could not live
down a crooked past, wrote out his
resignation as a member of Philadel
phia's municipal law-making body and
fled from the city, he probably had no
idea that his remarkable story would
produce the sensational effect it has.
Today till Philadelphia seems to be
striving to find some way to show the
“criminal who turned honest" that the
mere fact that he ever was a criminal
is not going to be held against him,
and that all he needs to do is return
to the honorable place he has made for
himself since he turned over a new leaf,
and that the past will be entirely for
gotten.
According to his confession, Burke
was one of the moU notorious pick
pockets and second-story men in the
country. Eight years ago, after serv
ing a seven-year term in the Massa
chusetts penitentiary, Burke turned
over a new leaf. He thought he had
lived down the past until he met a pris
on "pal" on the streets of Philadelphia.
The “pal" knew Burke was a council
man, and he blackmailed the man who
had tried to reform out of every cent
he had in the world.
With his last cent gone, Burke de
cided to give up the fight. He sent his
resignation to President AJcCurdy of
the common council, wrote a long con
fession. in which he gave dates, aliases
and convictions, and disappeared from
the city.
Every One Ready to Help.
Now. instead of finding himself alone
and friendless in the world, if he reads
the newspapers he will see that the
great mass of Philadelphians, from
Mayor Blankenburg down, want to see
that he gets a “helping hand,” of which
there ate thousands stretched out to
aid him.
Here are some of the things that may
be done for Burke if he returns:
He will he allowed to remain in coun
cils and represent the ward to the best
of his ability.
Congressman Michael Donohoe, who
I represents in the lower house the con
i gressional district in which is the ward
Burke represents in councils, has an
nounced that if there is no other way
to restore his citizenship to Burke he
will introduce a measure in congress
restoring the reformed criminal to the
place in the world w hich he lost by be
ing convicted as a felon when he en
tered the Charlestown prison.
Several lawyers have telegraphed
‘ Governor Foss of Massachusetts asking
i him to issue a full pardon to Burke.
Burke's Remarkable Confession.
The Georgian prints in full, just as
he wrote it. the remarkable confession
of this most 1 markable man, who has
proven that a convict not only can but
will work out his own salvation and
rise to a position of power and respect
ability in any community.
"I don’t know where I started life,"
Burke says in his confession. "1 had
a mother and father, but 1 never knew
who they were. I was just a street
Arab and I started life selling papers
in New York.
"1 don't know when or where I was
1 born, but I judge I am around 42 or 43

“When I got a little older. I fell in
I with i bunch of 'gopher men' or safe

I I just met them naturally. I was fif

"I would go into a place where a safe

I money and say I was looking for a po
sition. Then I would get a line on the
interior of the place. I would ascertain
at what hour the place closed at night,
and if any person stayed after closing
hours. XII of this data 1 would give to
the 'gophers,' and when they cracked a

STRIKING INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE
OF WILLIAM BURKE. EX-CONVICT,
WHO BECAME HONEST ALDERMAN
As a boy sold newspapers in New York.
When fifteen years old, fell in with a gang of “gophers.”
Left the “gophers” to become a pickpocket.
Served several terms on Blackwells Island, ami became
knowh as “New York Slim.”
Left the pickpocket game and went West with a bunch of
yeggmen.
“Pulled off" many "jobs” in Chicago; was arrested twice,
but never “did any time.”
Returned to New York and took up the life of a gambler
which he followed with varying success for two years.
Developed into a sneak thief.
In 1893 he went to Boston, where he played a lone hand for
three years, in which time he “pulled off” as many as 400 rob
heries.
Began to take drugs and tried to sell a necklace worth
SI,OOO. Was arrested, given the third degree until he con
fessed. and was sentenced.
Served seven years ami was released, having made up his
mind to be honest.
In 1904 went to Philadelphia, and was employed by several
firms. j
Opened a small cigar store, and got married. Became inter
ested in polities, and in 1911 was elected a common councilman.
Former prison pal blackmailed him by threats of exposure
until Burke couldn't stand it any longer and decided to resign
his official position and make a full confession. Did so. and last
week disappeared.
dence against me and I wasn't giving
them any. I hun'g around South Clark
street, Custom House Place and the
rest of the Chicago tenderloin' but I
never did a bit' in Chicago.
That was in 1888, and it was th-?
year after the Johnstown flood, I
think, that I returned to New York. I
hit New York with lots of money and
waded right into the gambling games
and races for two years. I went in
for poker, roulette, policy and all the
rest of it. Those two years 1 lived the
life of a gambler—just the same life
as those fellows who have figured in
the Rosenthal ease have lived. More
often I lost than won. but 1 always
could" And some one to stake me to a
few dollars for a fresh plunge.
“From gambling 1 drifted into sneak
thief work. I went in for bank, apart
ment house and second story jobs.
This brings my story up to 1893. I
worked with a couple of pals’ in the
sneak thief wo.k. Sneak thieves usu
ally work in threes, if they are suc
cessful.
How We Did It.
"In the bank and house game we
pulled off' a number of big jobs in
New York. They were three of us.
the 'getter.' whose business it was to
get the money; the ‘stall,’ who engaged
the attention of the cashier of the
bank, and the 'worker,' who would as
sist the other two in the preliminaries
and in ease of trouble.
“Our favorite method of working
was for the 'stall' to enter a bank and
engage the teller in a hot argument
over a eheck. The 'stall' knew the
cheek would not be cashed when pre
sented. The 'worker,' by his prelim
inary work, would know the best how
to catch the teller alone in the cage,
and the 'getter' would be given his op
portunity to grab a bundle of bills and
make his getaway.
"We never had any trouble getting
away. It was pretty soft. We had
as much as $20,000 to divide between
us at one time. I always gambled or
blew’ my share, and when it was gone
1 was ready for another 'job.' We had
to dress splendidly or we wouldn’t
have had entree to the banks marked
as 'easy.'
“I finally decided New York was get
ting ton hni so: me. It was just the
suspicion of a guiit> conscience, if a
thief has such a thing. 1 decided to
leave my ‘pals' and play a lone hand.
With $2,000 1 made on one job I left
New York and went to Boston.
"I had gotten wise that a fellow
who worked a lone hand instead of
playing in with the 'mobs.' stood a
better chance of getting by than the
fellow who didn't. I hit Boston in
1893, a lone worker out for myself.
“Within three years after 1 struck
Boston I had pulled off between 350
and 400 jobs by myself, as a lone
worker. I went in for sneak-thief
work entirely. I dressed well and lived
on the best in the land. I made a spe
cialty of apartment houses and second
story work. I used false keys to open
windows. I never used a jimmy and
never carried a gun. 1 had no use for
'hem. I did all of my work in the
daytime. I never robbed a house at
night in my life. I have robbed a
house with the people sitting down
stairs, and have taken everything up
stairs worth taking.
Never Took Silverware.
"I only took money and Jewelry. I
always sidestepped silverware, even
though there was a thousand dollars
worth of it. Silverware was too bulky
It was usually easy to get rid of jew
elry. I only had to spend a little
money. Sometimes I got rid of the
jewelry through fences' or receivers
of stolen goods. I steered clear of
pawnshops. The thief who tries to
dispose of stolen plunder (n a pawn
shop is a fool. He either will have to
split with the pawnbroker or*the po
lice friends of the pawnbroker.
"I played the game in Boston for
three sears before I began to 'hit the
dope.’ I used to keep In touch with
the crooks w ho blew in. but I never let
them know I was 'working.' I let them
think I was living straight. I then was
stalling under the name of 'McCarthy,'
but the New York crooks still knew
me as 'New York Slim.’
"One of the crooks I fell in with was
a Ne.v York 'con' man. He was a hop
flend. and ws? became pretty friendly.
Pretty soon I was 'hittin' the hop.’
“That has put more crooks down and
out than anything else. Once you start
hitting the hop you have no nerve un
less you’ve got the hop in you. and no
brains when it is in you.
"1 got to be a regular smoker, and I
became careless w hen I was under the
influence of the drug. One day I went
to a small dealer with some of the
stolen jewelry I had held In reserve. 1
was well dressed, and he' bought it of
me. Later 1 went back with a bigger
piece—a necklace worth about a thou
sand dollars. The dialer sized me up.
and he noticed the hop in me. He sized
me up as a thief and he tipped off In
spector Knox—l think it was Knox—of
the Boston police. Knox hung around
the place until I came to dispose of
more jewelry. Then he trailed me to
the house where I was stopping on
Shawmutt avenue, near Dover. There
he arrested me. 1 showed no fight, as
1 knew he had the goods on me. He
found a bunch of stuff in mj room,
which tied me up with thirty or forty
jobs. Then he ran me to headquarters.
“I had a great time there. I wouldn't
open up and they put me through the
third degree. They punched me, but I
wouldn't give up anything. At last
they starved me for six days and six
nights. Then 1 weakened. I told them
what they wanted or at least I told
them some of the things they wanted to
know. I told them where the rest of
the stuff they had connected me with
was concealed. They went and got it
and shoved me in the Boston jail for
trial.
Why I Was Camera-Shy.
"I was 'mugged.' My pictures were
scattered broadcast over the eountiy
and I was in bad. That 'mugging' is
tile reason I always have been camera
shy. I feared if I had a picture taken
following my reform, some of my old
pals would recognize it. Even while
running for office I refused to have a
picture taken.
"In Boston I was let down easy.
While I didn't know it when I was ar
rested. some time before I had rescued
one of tiie court officers who had fallen
overboard from a yacht. He recog
nized me and came to see me in jail.
He advised me to (dead guilty and
throw myself on the mercy of the court.
I took his advice. The police stopped
their activity and never connected m*
with more than forty jobs, and I got a
sentence of not less than seven nor
more than ten years in the state prison
at Charlestown
"Digressing a little from my tale,
right here 1 want to say that the
Charlestown prison is 25 years in ad
vance of any other prison in the land,
so far as the treatment of inmates is
concerned.
"I served my time. At the end of
seven years they let me out. I had
been good. They handed me five dol
lars and a suit of clothes. That is the
amount they give a convict when his
time is up. But I had gotten together
a couple of hundred dollars while I was
behind those walls. I had a little when
1 went in and I won more by betting
on the ball games pulled off in the
prison yard on Saturday afternoons
during the sunnnr-r. Whenever I won I
sunk the coin. I also cut out the 'hop.'
although I could have had as much as I
wanted of it while I was in prison, so
long as I had the money to pay for it.
“When I came out of Charlestown
prison I decided to be honest. I had
enough of the life of a crook. I re
turned to New York. I walked the old
pavements and it seemed like home, f
saw a lot of the old crooks, and 1 real
ized that I mtist leave New York if 1
wished to lie honest
“In May, 1994, I shook New York and
came to Philadelphia. I passed up all
my old aliases and became known as
William Burke I started to live
straight. While in Charlestown prison
I had learned the trade of hardwood m

COMPROMISE ON
LIGHT CONTRACT
Macon Council Will Let Present
' Agreement Stand Until
i Next July.
MACON, GA., Aug 21. —The contro
| versy as to w hether the city council
| should repudiate its present light con
tract with the Macon Railway * Light
I* ompany and give W. ,1. Masses's
I company a chance to bid on a new con
tract was settled by council last night
when it ratified a mutual understand
ing between the two corporations and
provided that the present contract
shall extend until July 1. 1913. and that
bids shall then be opened.
Coincidentally comes the announce
ment that the Georgia Railway &
Power Company, of Atlanta, will be a
bidder at that time.
Three weeks ago council refused to
give Mr. Massee a chance. A week
later it reversed itself and repudiated
the contract with the Macon Railway
& Light Company and advertised for
bids on a. new five-year contract. Last
night council rescinded that action, and
called for other bids for a contract be
ginning next July.
By agreeing to a compromise of this
nature. Mr. Massee induced Mayor
John T. Moore not to veto council's
action in asking for new bids. The
mayor takes the position that the
present five-year contract, though il
legal, because the charter provides
that council can not make a contract
for more than one year, is a moral
agreement and will be respected by
him for that reason. The contract
was made when Mr. Massee was pres

STRIKING MINERS DOWN
CHARLESTON, W. VA„ Aug. 21.
Governor Glasscock today sent a com
pany of state troops to Dorothy, Ra
leigh county, where miners employed
by the Four States Goal Company are
on strike. Over 2..">00 men are out and
they threaten to burn the company's
property.
this knowledge I landed a Job with the
Eureka Furniture Company. I worked
there for about a year, and then got a
job at the chair factory of Bodelstein *
Kinley. From there 1 went to work
with the Pooley Brothers, furniture
manufacturers. I remained with them
three years. Then I went to work for
a talking machine company.
Led Strike For More Pay.
“In the meantime I had joined the
Hardwood Finishers union, and I led
the strike at the works of the talking
machine company that resulted in the
increase of our wages from sls to $16.50
a week. After that I was marked for
dismissal, and the first chance that
came I was discharged.
“1 had been frugal and had saved up
some money. Three years ago I started
a cigar store at No. 706 East Hilton
street, in the Nineteenth division of the
Thirty-third ward. Aside from the
money I took in at the store I also
had my income from my daily work at
my trade. 1 even had some sub-con
tracts of my own.
“I was doing well. I was happy. Ap
parently I had lived down the past.
"I married, and I was happy. My
wife was happy. A baby girl Caine to
our home, and this made us happier.
"I became interestd In politics. Siaon
I became active in them. I finally be
came leader of my division. When the
reform fight in 1911 came around my
friends asked me to stand for common
councilman. 1 figured and 1 thought. I
had not seen a crook I knew In years.
I thought it was safe. I was elected
and I was happy. So was my wife.
“It was not long after I was elected
thi\t I met a former crook. He had
been a crook all his life. He looked me
up and found that I was a councilman.
The next day he approached me. We
met at the corner of Sixth and Race
streets. He put out his hand and said:
“‘Bill. I hear you are elected one of
the oity fathers.'
"Well, the result was he hogan to
borrow. He had 'palled' with me. Hp
had 'done time' with me at Charlestown.
He knew my record and he made no
bones about letting me know he knew
it. I continued to let him borrow.'
Gave Him Last Dollar.
"I thought As my wife and baby and
I thought of the plans I had made. I
didn't want to lose out. I gave him
every cent I could get—as much as a
hundred dollars at a time. At last I
told him he had my last dollar and it
was time he lay down on the job. He
just laughed. He snickered and re
marked :
" 'There's money in it. You'd better
come across again. I will take your
record to the newspapers and sell it.
It would make mighty Interesting read

"The man had me dead to rights My
back was up against a wall and I
couldn't figure that I could do any good
by fighting. I, had seen fellows try it
before, only to be told, ‘We don’t want
any convicts around here.'
“I figured it all out and I decided to

SUFFRAGETTE UIO
IN ROYAL PALACE
Christabel Pankhurst Dodged
a Warrant in Friend's Home
at Hampton Court.
LONDON, Aug. 21.—1 t has just
leaked out that Christabel Pankhurst,
the elusive suffragette leader who has
been lost to the public since a warrant
was issued for her arrest, perpetrated
some delightful jokes on the police, one
of them worthy of such a notable
strategist. «j
Miss Pankhurst Is now enjoying her
self at Dieppe, where she Is out of the
jurisdiction of the English courts, but
before she escaped to France she was
for some time safely ensconsed in a
royal palace where she was immune
from arrest This was Hampton Court
Palace, built by Cardinal Wolsey. Al
though the palace is King George’s
property, it is never used as a royal
residence, but Is divided into suites of
apartments which are granted by the
King to persons of noble birth, mostly
ladies with limited means.
With one of these, who is an ardent
suffragist, Miss Pankhurst took shel
ter when the warrant was issued. The
police eventually traced her, but were
powerless, for. although the old feudal
law making anyone in a royal palace
immune from arrest has been abol
ished, no one is ever arrested under
such conditions except on a charge of
the greatest gravity. Christabel lay
low in the palace until the storm blew
over and then quietly escaped to
France.

JURY WRANGLES OVER
BERNSTEIN VERDICT;
WOMAN PACES CELL
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—The jury in the
Bernstein murder case, after discussing
the evidence most of the night, resumed
its deliberations today. The jurors are
far from agreement, according to re
port. It is rumored that the vote stands
nine to three for conviction.
Mrs. Florence Bernstein, in her cell,
has been in a state bordering on col- ,
lapse since the jury has been out. Much j
of the night was spent nervously pacing ‘
up and down her cell. This morning,
according to bailiffs who took tha
breakfast order for the jurors, the men
were tired and quarrelsome.
The jury jus before noon reported
failure to agree and asked to be dis
charged. The judge did not grant the
request, and the jurors were sent back
to deliberate further.

A dirty, unsigned circu
lar, headed “Took Money

Mouth,” is being circulated
by the supporters of Alex

circular is a tissue of unmit

day of the election without
the character of any man
being behind it, and when it
is too late to make a detailed
reply. We assert this sort
of tactics is sufficient to
condemn any man running
for any office. We sign
what we write.

HAD TETTER FORTEN YEARS;
TWO BOXES TETTERINE CURED
Mr. Lew Wren, of Chicago, writes us
that he had suffered for ten years with
tetter, many doctors in nearly every stats
In the Union having failed to cure him.
A uruggist recommended Tetterine to
him and he bought a box. It gave him
relief, and the second box effected a com-
Clete cure. Tetterine at all druggists or
