FILE BRIEFS IN
BALL|NCER CASE
COUNSEL FOR BOTH SIDES PRE-
SENT WRITTEN ARGUMENTS
TO COMMITTEE.

Washington, D. G., June 13.-Briefs
were filed by attorneys for the pros
ecution" and defense" with the Bal
lingerPinchot investigation committee
today.
Brandeis, counsel for CLAWS, and
Pepper, for Pinchot, contend in their
briefs that the evidence adduced dur
ing the investigation has shown Bal
linger unfit to administer the affairs Of
the public domain because of an OBJ
vious leaning toward the policy Of dis
tribution instead Of conservation Of
the peoples land. They condemn his
attitude toward the champions of con-
servation and charge him. with caus-
ing embarrassment to the president
and loss to the people. Equally insis-
tent that Ballinger's action in and out
OF the interior department has not
been open to criticism, Vertress, coun-
sci for the secretary, declares that
none Of the accusations made against
him have been sustained by presen-
tation of facts. Vertress attempts to
slow by the evidence that there has
been conspiracy afoot to secure Bal
linger's removal from Office because he
did not approve of the so-called Gar
field policies.

SECURE PROOF
THAT CHARLTON
WAS MURDERED
COAT BELIEVED TO HAVE BE-
LoNGED TO HUSBAND OF THE
SLAIN WOMAN FoAND TODAY
IN ITALIAN LAKE.

Coma, Italy, June ia part OF
mans coat, declared by some of his
fishermen neighbors to have belonged
to Porter Charlton. was found today In
Lake Como, from the waters Of which
the body OF his murdered bride was re- i
covered last Friday. The torn garment
was fished up from the bottom Of the
lake near the spot where the trunk,
containing the body OF the woman was
found. Today's discovery strengthens
the theory that double murder was
committed.
The amount of blood which saturat-J
ed the mattress. sheets and curtains
of the bed In the sleeping room Of the
villa which was occupied by MI. and
Mrs. Charlton, could not possibly have
come from one body, that Of Mrs.
Charlton, the police assert Their be-
lief that a double murder was COM
mitted, probably by former admirer
of the woman, is shared by the Ameri-
can consul at Milan, Charles M.
Caughy, who is investigating the
case.
Searching parties were busy an OF /
Sunday dragging the lake in the ext
pectation Of recovering Chas3ton,s
body. They found nothing to explain
the mystery OF the woman's death, but
have been ordered by the ofacars to
continue their search today.
Has Not Left Italy.
Every inch Of ground surrounding
the villa and the Easements OF the old
building are being gone over BY the
officers, in the chance that the two
| men, who were heard carrying the
trunk of Mrs. Charlton's body to the
lake. feared to make q second trip
with the husbands remains, and
buried them. 5!.f-f.--s ssEss
| Constantin IspoIaton, the Russian
arrested an hour after the gruesome
find In the trunk, is still being held
and questioned by the officers.
ANY chance that young Charlton.
who Is son Of Judge Charlton OF
Washington, may have left ItAly since
the murder of his wife, is secuted by
the officers, who keep close track OF
visitors In the country Reports from
near by ports and railway stations
fail to show that any one OF ChirltOn's
appearance had left the region.
Letters From Former Hushand.
While several peTsons say that they
saw Charlton after the date Of the
crime, at Moltrasio and later at Como,
these statements are controverted by
the Investigations OF the police, who
have found that the alleged Witnesses
have been unable to fix dates def
nitely.
The police have In their possession
a letter written By Mrs. Charlton to
| her former husband. Neville Castle.
| which had not been mailed. asking
him to return her letters and photo
graphs, as she wished to show them
to Charlton In order to relieve his
mind concerning that distant love
episode.
They have construed This teetsr as
an evidence that Charlton was Jealous,
| and, indeed, there are mot wanting
those who say that he had on various
occasions shown great Jealousy Of his
wife. %. :3,s.is.,i !,
