MORE EVIDENCE OF
DOUBLE MURDER
Part OF Mans Coat, Said to be
Porter CharIton's, Fished
From Lake Como.
is VIEW OF AMERICAN CONSUL
Italian Police Have Several Clues but
They Are Very Reti-
cent.

Como, Italy. June ia part OF a
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
Mary Scott Castle Charlton, was re-
covered last Friday.
Today's discovery strengthens the
theory OF many that double murder
was committed. This is the view OF
Charles NJ. Caughy. the American con
sui at Milan, who believes Charlton
met the same fate as his wife. Earlier
evidence that both of the Americans
were killed. presumably for their val
uabiea. was found in the blood spat-
tered bed OF the villa which they occu-
pied
lt is declared that the seven wounds
found IN the woman's head did not re-
lease any such quantity Of blood as
left its stain in their lake shore home.
Constantine Ispolatoff. the chance ac-
quaintance of the Charltons from
whom they leased the villa, remains In
custody. He maintains his self posses
sion and insists that he knows nothing
as to how or by whom the crime was
committed
SEARCHING LAKE BOTTOM.
on the suppositlon that Lake Como
contains the body OF Charlton. a
thorough search OF its bottom and
shores was begun today. The work was
started in the vicinity OF the spot from
which the fishermen had drawn the
trunk with its grewsome contents 10
the surface. IL was not long before the
tra f-1a nv nd
ing Of the portion OF a mans coat. This
was exhibited among the fisher folks
and others in the vicinity who had
seen the Charletons and some Of these
deslared at once that IL was part OF
a suit which the young American had
worn.
Further support of the double muir
der theory developed as the day prog
ressed. IT had been known that the
police were In possession OF several
clues, leading, IL would appear to the
conclusion that Charleton had been
murdered They have, however. been
decidedly reticent regarding their dis
coveries. This afternoon II was learned
that the investigators had determined
that the stone with which the '-i'''t,
was Weighted had been taken from the
wall OF the equeduct on the shore Of
the lake The stone had been removed
from spot in the wall opposite the
point at which the trunk was sub
merged.
Following up this clue the police dis
covered that another stone exactly
similar in size had been recently dug
out Of the wall This Is held to be
significant
The second stone has not been To-
Gated. and the police will not be sur
prised n they should find that Il was
used to drag below the surface of the
lake another trunk or box containing
the body Of Porter Charlton.
Isoplatoff later was further interro-
gated this afternoon. The detectives
who questioned him claim that he
has repeatedly told conflicting stories

edge of the crowd that Hamilton was

directly over the special train. A
moment later he was in plain view OF
all and then tremendous cheer

preached and when he was within a
few yards OF tho field he swerved
rapidly 60 the right and crossed the
field.
The aviator circled the field several
times and then swooped down
He landed easily and before he
could get out OF his machine the crowd
broke through the police lines and
rushed at Hamilton The aviator was
however. quickly surrounded by cor
don OF police.
Gov Stuart welcomed Hamilton. who
said IL was the best trip he had ever
made. Il had the machine IN perfect
control all the way and could have
stayed up much longer. The only
draw back 10 the Journey was the
dampncss and the chill Most Of the
trip was misty and az times could not
see the train and seldom saw the peo-
pie at the stations"
For a long time after n. alishted

ton he received. The police had All

ton that he would attempt to return
