LAWYER HER CONFEDERATE To Get Insurance on Karamoosky'a Life, Countess Tarnivsky Schemes With Prilukoff to Provoke Boy to Murderous Frenzy. LONDON, Sept. 14. Countess Maria Rinlolaevna Tarnovsky. a beautiful Russian, is at present the central fig ure of a story of intrigue and murder which has atirred half the capitals ot Europe. As a result of her wiles, it is al leged, a wealthy Russian nobleman. Count Kamarovsky. who expected to marry the Countess, was slain this week at Venice. The assassin is a youth named Naumoff, son of an ex Governor of Orel. He was madly enamored of the woman, and it was through his jealousy of her that he was driven to commit the crime. Nau moff's fatal Jealousy was aroused by the third lover, a Moscow lawyer named Prilukoff. The confessions of the Countess and M. Prilukoff indicate that the motive of their plot was to obtain the $100. 000 for which the Infatuated Kamarov sky had insured his life in the Coun tess' favor. Application was made by Kamarovsky for such a policy to a London company last month. The agents of the company found the Count and Countess living together as man and wife at one of the leading hotels of Vienna. It was learned that the Count possessed vast estates in Rus sia and expected to marry the Countess, but for some reason the insurance company declined the risk. A few days later the policy was Issued by an Austrian company. Caused Husband to Kill Man. Meantime M. Prilukoff was follow ing the Countess everywhere. She for merly was the wife of a Russian army officer, and although apparently an ideal mother of three children, her con duct with other officers at Kieff gave rise to scandal. One evening at a re ception in her own house she put her arms about an officer's neck. Her husband Immediately shot the man dead. He was acquitted by a Jury, and then obtained a divorce. Countess Tarnovsky's lawyer on this occasion was M. Prilukoff, who became Infatu ated with her. Shortly afterward he embezzled a large sum of money, and he and the Countess fled together, first to Parts, then to Vienna and Berlin. While they were residing last May in Berlin the Countess deserted M. Prleu koft and went to Russia, where she met Count Kamarovsky, whom she had known before her divorce. M. Prilukoff, unable to follow her acros the frontier, went to Paris, whence he sent her a number of imploring telegrams. When the Countess returned to Germany, ac companied by Kamarovsky, she and Prilukoff had a reconciliation and met frequently in secret. The Countess in the meantime had obtained the insurance policy. Plotted Murder of Lover. Trom the allegations and counter charges subsequently made in the case it appears that the Countess and Prilukoff frequently discussed the possibility .of getting rid of Kamarovsky for the sake of the Insurance money. One plan was for Prilukoff to offer Kamarovsky a cig arette containing opium, and when the victim was dazed finish him with a knife or revolver. Prilukoff hesitated to exe cute this plan for fear that the Countess later would regret the murder and turn against him. He was not long in forming what he considered a better plan. Kamarovsky and the Countess, followed ever by Prilukoff, went to Venice, where Kama rovsky owned a handsome villa. There, at a secret meeting, the Countess con fessed to Prilukoff that there was a young Russian noble, Nikolas Naumoff, who madly loved her and whom she was beginning to love. Infatuated Boy a Catspaw. The Countess says Prilukoff immediate ly suggested that they use the youth to carry out the dangerous part of their plan. Prilukoff found out that Naumoff was in Vienna, and he arranged for scenes there designed to arouse the young lover's Jeal ousy. He also persuaded the Countess to tell Naumoff that Kamarovsky was mal treating her and that she was a martyr to his cruelty. Finally Prilukoff sent her a false telegram from Venice signed "Kamarovsky," which she was to show to Naumoff. The telegram ran: "I know all. Your Naumoff is a loafer and a mere boy. You are worthless. I am sorry for the feelings I had for you." On reading the telegram, Naumoff's wrath reached the culminating point, and he immediately started for Venice to kill Kamarovsky. The Countess wired Prilu koff that Naumoff was coming. Prilukoff, who was not known to Naumoff, awaited him with detectives at the station, and followed him until he entered the Count's villa to prevent his escape, and thus, with one stroke, remove two rivals. After the murder and Naumoft's arrest, Prilukoff Joined the Countess at Vienna, where later they were arrested. They are now awaiting extradition. Countess' Lavish Expenses. The Countess is an Inveterate cigarette smoker, and while under detention almost continuously smokes Russian cigarettes which have a peculiar aroma. She orders costly meals sent in from leading hotels and restaurants of Vienna. When the Countess was arrested she was found in possession of (7000 and her fingers were covered with rings.
