THE TRAGEDY.

wv HEN Aberdeen awOke the morning
w after the tragedy-it occurred in
the hotel lobby after midnight-it was TO
discuss a sensation such as the little
town seldom had known. Now and then
in that part of Mississippi there had
been a lynching; sometimes a duel and a
murder. but these affairs had lacked the
gripping interest which grew as from
mouth TO mouth flew the startling intel
ligence that John Carter had slain DR..
Wendell.

Finally. the first account Of the fatal

his patient started toward the IatteTs
apartments again. Carter says that he
struggled across the street, but that

hotel lobby was reached. Where Car

later slew the doctor was a mocted

not fully developing whether he secured
it in his wife's room or his own.
AS the door of Carter's apartments
was reached for the third time dur
ing the evening, DR.. Wendell is said TO

he stepped to the cooler just beside the
door, the shot that brought him death

The case is peculiar in the secrecy
that has enveloped il from the begin
ming. Carter is said to have cried out
soon after he was put under arrest
that he had killed the best friend he
ever had and that IT was 'an a mis-
take" Mrs. Carter gave an Interview
in which she denounced her husband as
drunk and insanely Jealous" and in
which she said Dr. Weuders presence
in her apartment was without Interior

Near By, with a bereavement all her
own, sat the widow Of the man who
was slain. Like Mrs. Carter, her face
was drawn, and she wore the black
that denotes mourning. Beside her sat
d little daughter, innocent OF the true
meaning of her Surroundings.
Removed from aV of them, his aged
father by his size, sat John Garter,
His nervousness was as marked, as it al
ways has been, for Carter was an i'm
petuous. restless man. while his victim
was one of smooth manners and even
temperament.
Mrs Carter did not take the witness
stand in defense of her own name. Mrs.
Wendell. however. raised her voice IN
protest against the slandering Of the
memory Of her husband.
Was DR.. Wendell drinking that
night? Did he take any whisky with
him when he answered the telephone
call of John Carter?" the trusting widow
was asked.
Not one drop she answered firmly,
gazing in the direction Of her husbands
slayer.
Where did DR.. Wendell go that af-

Alienist Discusses Mental Condition
Of Wife Slayer-Prisoner Will
Probably Go To Asylum.

NEW YORK. June 27.-When Por
ter Charlton, slayer OF his wife, whose
body was found in a trunk In Lake
Como. Italy, is formally arratgned 20
morrow before Judge Blair, In the
county court IN Jersey City, it Is
probable that attorneys for the de-
tense Will demand the appointment OF
a commission 10 investigate his mental
condition. .,-e
The chances that Charlton will be
sent back to italy TO answer for his
crime are growing remote. II seems
probable that the commission VIII DC
secured, Charlton declared insane, and
confinement In a Jersey madhouse.
In the event the prisoner Is found 70
be OF unsound mind, the Jersey au'
thorfties Will probably refuse to turn
him over to the federal government
for transfer to the italian authorities
even should Italy decide formally 10
demand extradition.
As yet. Italy has made no formal
request for Charlton Until this re-
quest Is received, the state depart
ment can take no oficial cognizance
OF the case, and Charlton win remain
. prisoner in the hands Of the Jersey
authorities.
Charlton is stin In highly nervous
condition in his cell in the county jail
under the constant care of physicians
Chief OF these is DR.. William ]. Ar
litx, alienist, who still maintains that
the prisoner Is insane and that the
commission will SO ind.
