BLACKMAIL AND MURDER.
THE ROME TRAGEDY. ROME, March 4. Queen Elena is taking care of the two daughters of the Countess Guilia Trigone, who was killed by Baron Vincent Pateroo with a hunting knife, the murderer afterwards shooting himself. Baron Paterno is described as a gambler and a blackmailer. The Countess Trigone, who was little more than a girl, was induced to pay Paterno's debts until his extortions developed into a scandal, compelling her retirement from a brilliant position in the Quirinal. The tragedy has caused much grief in Court circles. The baron is out of danger. The tragedy created an extraordinary sensation in Rome, Florence, and Palermo, where both were prominent. Baron Paterno was in financial straits, and had demanded money of the countess, who refused, and announced that she was ending her relations with him.
