Mrs. Char|ton's Death
Still Deep Mystery.
Opinion Of Double Murder Is
Gathering Strength.
Young Husband Is mIsslng--Bo
Placed In Trunk While Alive.

Como, Italy, June 1.-THE police to-
day seem no nearer a solution of the
mystery of the murder of Mrs. Porter
Charltoi of New York, than they were
Oh the day the body was found huddled
up in trunk at the bottom of Lake
Como
Searching parties have assidously
dragged the lake, in the expectation
that perhaps the body of the woman's
husband might be recovered, or at least
something having connection with the
crime bat so far the searchers have
laboied in vain. The authorities. so
far as they have disclosed. have no
information about the missing Charl-
ton and whether he is dead or alive is
only a matter of conjecture.
The opinion is gathering strength
that 9 dc uble murder has been commit
ted This is the view held by the
American sonsul at Milan, Charles NJ.
Caughy, who is investigating the case.
1t is pointed out that the amount of
blood on the mattress, sheets and cur
tains of the bedroom in the villa which
were occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Charl-
ton, could not possibly come from the
wounds of the women which were in
the nature of severe bruises on the
head.
Several persons, however, say that
they saw Charlton after the date of
the crime, at Moltasio and later at
Como These statements are contro-
verted by the Investigations of the po-
lice. who have found that the alleged
witnesses have been unable to fix dates
definitely The police have in their
possession a letter written by Mrs.
Charlton 10 her former husband, Ne
vile Castle. which had not been mail
ed. asking him to return her letters
and photographs, because she wished
to show them to Charlton to relieve his
mind concerning that distant love
episode. They have construed this let
ter as an evidence that Charlton was
Jealous. and, indeed there are not
wanting those who say that on vari-
ous occa sions he showed great jealousy
of mis- wife.
1t has been established that the wo-
man was placed in the trunk while YET
alive. The first idea of the police was
that she was murdered while asleep
because the mattress and sheets In the
| bed in the house which she occupied
were found covered with blood. put tnis
| theory was contradicted by the race
that the body was entirely clothed
! when found.

N'''N'N -
Oxford Eng, June S.-Former Pres

ford He delivered the Romanes lee
ture at the University Of Oxford and
the university conferred upon him the
honorary degree OF doctor of civil law
Colonel Roosevelts subject was
Biological Analogies Of History" 1t
was heard by q large audience Of noted
scholars. who appiauded tne lecturer
at many points.
Colonel Roosevelt's voice despite
the care he has taken since his arrival
in England failed him after a time
and he was obliged to leave unread the
latter part OF his lecture.
The lecture and the conferment con
sttuted the great feature Of the day,
but it did not complete the program
which was about as crowded as any
that the distinguished American has
undertaken in his European travels.
Oxford was glas to see the former
president and made the fact known.
First there was a reception given by
the mayor Of the corporation at the
town hall The auditorium was filled
to its limits and when the guests ap-
peared the audience Joined in singing

Warning to Nations.
Colonel Roosevelt emphasized in his
lecture the need of curing the politi- /
cal ills of nations. and he touched |
again on the British control of Egypt
This latter subject had been looked
for expectantly. but his remarks had
nothing of the stirring tone that caus-
ed a sensation in the Guildhall au-
dience in London.
Drawing analogies from the biology
of prehistoric ages he touched upon
the civilizations of succeeding centur-
les dwelling on the rise and fall of
the Roman empire and the Dutch re-
public and the gireatness of the Brit
ish empire Upon this historical basis
he built up warnings to the British
and American people.
The greatest enemies of nations. he
declared, are those within, not those
Without. It was thus that Rome fell,
Ind it was against luxuriousness and
,vil within, he said, that England and l
he United States must guard.
