Signor Sinionetti is well known In Home. II * is un artist and urt collector: his beautiful palace and gallery are much frequented by Americans visiting Home. He employed detectives to vat i'll bis son-in-law, and try to trace hD daughter; but sleuths could find no clue. Annrounrss Her Death. At the time Mesones util' "irnvd his wife's dentil at sea. a woman who was said to have coiutnilled suicide was reported by tlie police, judging from papers found on tin* body, to bo Maria Kotellen! .if Udine, war refugee. Hut nobody thought of visiting t'.e morgue, to s«*e wjuit Maria h iked like; anif ihe Incident was forgotten. Now. Signor SimonettPs sleuths say the snpposisl refugee was Mesones* wife.

Tlie police admit Mesones could not have killed the former Bice Simonetti by himself. At the time of his disappearance he was almost blind. The body was dressed in nigged elothes that Wee never wore while living, and her style of hairdressing luid been changed, ms the morgue pictures prove. Alone, they affirm, a qurhllnd man
could noi have wrought these changes or inflicted the fatal pistol wound on Ihe left temple of his victim. The mystery is complicated hy the fact that when the supposed refugee's body was found on tlie hanks of Tiber within a stone’s throw of Prince Borghcsc’s villa, the police traced a girl hearing tin* name of Marin liotelleni lo various low cla < lioteF.
