ITALIAN FINANCIER
A SPECTACULAR CAREER. ENDED BY HIS ARREST. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, January 22. (Received Jan. 23, at 10 p.m.) The Turin correspondent of The Times states that the spectacular career of Commendatore Riccardo Gualino, an international financier and one of Italy’s biggest business men, ended with his arrest on an undisclosed charge, but it is attributed to the grave situation of the Banca Agricola, which was the instrument of his speculations. Gualino pioneered the artificial eilk industry, led the life of a grand seigneur, had a magnificent picture gallery, and owned a Moorish castle on the Riviera. He purchased famous thoroughbreds in England, and he owned newspapers. Gualino’s connection with the Oustric affair was revealed during the inquiry in Paris.
