did not administer the oa.th; that the
commission did not select men Impar
tially; that the commission was influ

Albany "Wide Open."
In rebuttal to the voluminous charges
the defense filed a lengthy answer, in
which the charge was made that Al
bany 1s a "wide open” ton. It de
clares in part:
"Albany is considered a wide open
town; there are now 27 licensed sa
loons within the corporate limits, and
untold numbers of blind tigers and il
legal traffickers in alcoholic liquors.
“Under normal conditions, there are
from 100 to 160 inmates and residents
of the 'red light' district, a portion of
the city of Albany designated and set
apart by the official life of Albany for
the home of these people who receive
police protection, with no effort to re
strict or to minimize the evil.
"A large number men who are
known as gamblers with cards, dice
and other devices for fleecing the in
nocent public have been allowed to ply
their games in the city of Albany, with
out interference or hindrance, by the
police force of said city. Whenever
they have been molested or apprehend
ed by the sheriff’s force the power of
the police department of the city of
Albany has been arrayed against their
detection and punishment.”

FDR TARNOWSKA
Countess To Be Released With
in Month—Memoirs Will Be
Printed.
PARIS, Sept. 27.—Within a month the
Countess Tarnowska will be released
from the prison of Trani by a special
royal pardon granted at the request of
the Russian government. In the mean
time her memoirs will see the light of
publication, thanks to the efforts of
Annie Vivanti, the Anglo-Italian Jour
nalist.
Count Kamarowski was murdered in
Venice September 4. 1907, by a young
Russian official named Naumoff. The
Countess Tarnowska. whose maiden
name was Marie O’Rourke, a Russian
of Irish descent, eloped at eighteen with
Count Tarnowska. to whom she was
married. Her life with him was un
happy' and she was divorced. The law
yer Prflukoff, who conducted her cause,
deserted his wife and robbed his clients
for her. When his money gave out she,
made the acquaintance of Count Kam
arowski and of Naumoff. both of whom
fell in love with her.
Kamarowski was persuaded to effect
an insurance on his life of $125,000 in
favor of the countess, the negotiations
being carried out by Prilukoff. The
countess and Prilukoff worked upon the
jealousy of Naumoff to avenge an in
sult offered the countess by Kamarow
ski. Naumoff shot the count, Naumoff,
the countess and her maid were arrest
ed. the countess sentenced to eight
years imprisonment and Naumoff to
three years. The maid was acquitted.
The ghastly tragedy of the whole
business was that the wounded man
might easily have recovered had hi- not
been in the hands of -an insane doctor
