TIE TALE DF CM) OUT
ITALIANS SAY WOMAX WHO
FLED WAS ANOTHER'S WIFE.
Tenor Said to Have Hired Husband
to Kidnap Wife From Chauf
feur Whom She Loved.
ROME. Aug. 29. (Special.) What la
said to be the inside history of the do
mestic troubles of Caruso has been told
here. ,
The woman, according to rumor,
whose shortcomings Caruso affects to
deplore, waa not his wife, but a beau
tiful singer, who years ago left her
home and husband. Caruso bought for
her a beautiful villa near Florence.
Last Winter .the husband threatened
divorce proceedings, so Caruso and his
Inamorata planned to take up American
citizenship in order to allow the latter
to obtain a divorce and marry the tenor.
When the opera season was finished
in New York, Caruso went on a tour
and the woman went to London. There
the tenor waa to rejoin her. Later,
however, she fell madly In love with
the tenor's chauffeur, but when Caruso
arrived in London for the opera season
she went to live with him.
Flees With Driver of Car.
Caruso was at that time negotiating
for the purchase of a beautiful place at
Nice. Caruso had to remain In London
for private concerts, and the woman
went to the Florentine villa, but soon
afterward fled with the chaufTeur to
Nice, taking with her Jewelry to the
value of $160,000.
Caruso went posthaste after the
fugitive. He obtained possession of his
two sons, but failed In his efforts to
Induce the woman to abandon the
chauffeur.
Gets Help From Husband.
It Is said that Caruso, In his despair,
appealed to the legitimate husband of
the woman, asking him to interpose his
conjugal authority to convince the wife
that she had gone too far in preferring
an obscure chauffeur to the celebrated
singer.
Advices from Rome add a piquant
touch to the tale, which recalls an
episode in Daudet's "Femmes d'Artists."
It Is that the woman, whose name Is
Oilda Giachetti, was actually kidnaped
by her own husband, who for several
months had been a member of the
Caruso household disguised as a chauf
Enrico Caruso, his wife having de
serted him, was In Paris one or two
days this week. One day he was sit
ting at a table with a friend at the
Cafe de la Puix. at a corner near the
Place de l'Opera, perhaps the busiest
place In Paris.
"I don't believe any one In Paris
knows me." said the tenor, "I've sung
here so little."
The friend demurred, but Caruso of
fered to wager that nobody would rec
ognize him In an hour. The friend
took the wager, but lost, for of all
the people who passed none took the
slightest notice of the tenor, who sat
with his hat oft. When the hour was
up the friend spoke to the waiter, who
was bringing them drinks.
"This Is the famous Caruso," he said,
whereupon the waiter looked bewil
dered and then questioned,: "Is. he with
the Italian Embassy?"
Caruso's friend says the tenor really
Is heartbroken over his wife's 'elope
ment and would welcome her back with
open arms. His claim that he was
glad she left him and all that Is mere
pretense to save his face, and it would
not be surprising to find he was looking
for her in the hope of winning her
back.
The Dutch government has (-ranted a con
cession to the Amsterdam and North Hoi
land Electric Tramway Company to build
and operate an electric railway system In
Holland.'
HER RUSE TO KILL FAILS
Gets' Husband Down Well, Cuti
Hope, but Water Is Shallow.
ROME. Aug. 29. (Special.) A diabolical
ruse is said to have been resorted to by
a woman of Lucce, named Monaco, for
the purpose of ridding herself of "her
husband In order to live undisturbed with
her lover. Working upon the husband's
superstitious temperament she feigned
that while sleeping she had had an ap
parition of her mother, who. pointing
to the well In the garden, revealed to
her that gold treasures lay hidden at the
bottom, the possession of which would
render them rich for the rest of their
lives, if only they confided the secret to
no third person.
Acting on her suggestion the unsus
pecting spouse was lowered Into the, well
by the wife, who at a certain point cut
the rope precipitating him Into the water,
which, however, was not deep enough to
drown him. Realizing this and hearing
the helpless man's cries for help, the
wife gathered a number of big stones and .
rained them down on his head.
Twenty-four hours afterwards soma
peasants from a neighboring cottage go- .
Ing to draw water heard the victim's
moans and extricated him In a dying con
ditlon. The woman has been arrested.
