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.
