The chapel of St. Felicitas, which rises to the east of the Plaza Colombia, in barracks, remember a crime of passion. In
forced silence, as at present splendid structure is closed, testified that nothing was clear that January 29, 1872, when Felicitas Guerrero and Enrique Ocampo fell victim and victimizer confusing madness in love.
Felicitas, who by her beauty was called "the jewel in the halls locals, being almost married a girl with Alzaga old Martin, who owns one of the largest fortunes that had news and stood at 60,000,000 pesos. There was resistance from her that at age 14 and saw their hopes die. Year of marriage, had the consolation of giving birth to her son and, over time the tenderness of a husband and gave him great comfort that stays "Bella Vista" "Big Mountains", "La Pelada", "The Hereafter", "Juancho Chico", "Juancho Grande" and other businesses, eventually compensate for their lost dreams.
Fate would bring great pain. His son Felix, died at age 6, shortly after 1870, her husband did not survive the loss of the stem, left her a widow. Felicitas was detained some time in "The Everlasting", his favorite room, which both have to do with their tragedy.
One month after the death of Alzaga, Mass was celebrated in the cathedral, the crowd that attended could not comment other than extraordinary elegance That girl was admitted to the temple to the sound of a solemn march, dressed in deep mourning among lace and veils, dazzling and enticing.
his 22 years brought together a large capacity and meticulousness to manage their finances Alzaga Martin had become his sole heir. Aspiring multiplied her hand, she takes it still lived in her husband built on Long Street (corner Pinzon Montes de Oca). Then came a young man who touched her. An aristocratic family, strong economic position, passionate, madly in love with her and promised her his heart Felicitas. It is likely that the youth of Enrique Ocampo (1), have found the life force that had met with her elderly husband.
society of that time was now the answer to the question that rolled all the rooms, what would be chosen by the young millionaire? Appeared together with the confirmation of slander, a song that was inferred husband because of his money. One night
November 1871 Felicitas decided to move to "The Everlasting" in the course of the trip sparked a storm of such magnitude that caused them to lose track of travelers. It was when he met Samuel Saenz Valiente, owner of the room next door, who found them and offered to shelter them. When Felicitas lower carriage Samuel, pulled his poncho over the clay, so do not push the mud. She immediately, is seduced, he senses that will be the man in your life and with the same immediacy, he began to speak in Buenos Aires wedding. Ocampo
felt hurt by the voluble woman he loved betrayed by madly. And yes, I loved her so madly that decided to kill her. The murder was planned, there is no doubt that, so far there is clarity, then darkness covers the developments. He decided his crime is committed because he said the father of Felicity, "before seeing her married to another to kill her." Ocampo's background did not give rise to think that in an outburst verbal. But, maintaining a debt to his attorney fees, hastened to liquidate. When it spoke of death.
His lawyer played with ideas:
- I hope that you will not die for no pay me no satisfaction .-
- However ... it is more likely true before the litigation ends. (2)
arrived on January 29, 1872, friends and family awaited felicitas in the gazebo that once stood on the corner of Montes de Oca and Finch, the girl's machine. This, which was inaugurated in a few days a bridge over the Salt River, was at the center doing some shopping. Enrique Ocampo arrived and asked to speak to his beloved. I attended Mrs. Cueto Demaría Transit, the young aunt, confirming that had not arrived. Was going to retire when he saw a chariot and go down the same Saenz Valiente behind came another that traveled Felicitas. Ocampo demanded to speak. While the widow
changed costume in his bedroom and family room are closing in the immediate to the reception, where Henry waited, he was told he wanted to talk to her. He refused, Ocampo was furious, then she, fearing a fight between two suitors, declined to meet him, wearing a long white tail bta.
I attended alone, rejecting the company of his uncles and his friend Albina, who, however, took cover behind the doors, as the voices grew louder. According to what police told the witness, Edward demanded Felicitas, to define whether or not to accept his hand. She threw him out of the house, he pulled a gun threatening, Felicitas screamed and turned to flee, then heard the shot. His uncle Bernabé Demaria was the first to arrive, she cried for help, staggered, plenty of blood flowing back naked. He got caught, then the tail of the gown in a cabinet, fell, got up and disappeared down a hallway where succor Samuel Saenz Valiente.
Felicitas After wounding, Henry had fired a shot in the heart and then repeat it in your mouth. Remained alive fifteen minutes observed what was happening around him. Later his family took the body in the same carriage in which he had arrived.
Those close to the young widow, called urgently to the doctors Montes de Oca, Larrosa, White and Gonzalez Catan, who certified that nothing could save her life. The agony lasted until the next morning, in moments of lucidity Albina asked Enrique.
The story goes that when his remains were entering the cemetery of Recoleta crossed with Enrique Ocampo. Vale
record that the police file disappeared from the court file, as well as the judge's ruling Angel Carranza, however, although it gave Ocampo committed suicide, ran versions of their true fate. One
says Cristian Demaría, Felicitas cousin, after she was hurt, took the gun to Henry and shot him on the heart with his sword he tried to hit back. That was when the young Demaría shot him in the mouth. Another version held that Saenz Valiente who was murdered and also toying with the possibility that it was Barnabas who completed Demaría.
What is the truth in this story? How was the relationship between Felicitas and Enrique? The level of commitment should be serious, when tells Ocampo might have been his father would kill her before I saw her in the arms of another man.
If Felicitas had time to try to flee after the shooting, if Henry was intended to stop it, why not topped? If you ran a brave Sáenz ironic his girlfriend when she went to meet Henry, why did not intervene immediately when the voices began to rise indicating the dispute?
Ocampo How could shoot two shots? Why Carranza Enrique called the death a suicide, when they descended of Alzaga say it was one of the Demaría who killed him? When and why the file disappeared? Perhaps
description of the white gown, which was recorded in that record, is the key to a mystery that after so many decades is hidden.
