MRS. N. s, CASTLE
IS SLAIN IN ITALY
MUTlLATED BODY OF AMERICAN
ARMY OFFICERS SISTER is
FOUND IN TRUNK.
BODY BADLY MUTlLATED
Wound on Head Leads Police to Be.
Iieve Crime Was Committed With
Blunt Instrument-HadV Varied
Career in America.

Como, Italy.-The multilated body
of woman, which was found in
trunk submerged in lake near the
village of Moltrasio, has been identi-
fed as that OF Mrs. M. S. Castle, Sis
ter Of Captain Henry Harrison Scott,
U. S. A, and the woman who shot
William B. Craig, New York lawyer,
on peacock alley" at the Waldorf
Astoria last August.
Wrapped about the body was a
piece of cloth which bore the initials
&c. L." and from letters found in
the trunk, written in English, it was
learned the woman formerly lived on
Thirty-fourth street, New York City.
This led to the Identification.
The police basing their opinion on
wounds on the head, evidently made
by blunt instrument, are of the be-
lief that the woman was murdered,
and have taken into custody a Rus
sian named Constantine Ispolatoff, so
years old, whom they suspect Of hav
ing some knowledge of how the Wo-
man met death.
Several persons who had known the
woman in life, and viewed her body,
declared that she had told them she
had been married to Porter Charlton,
the son of an American naval officer.
Charlton was graduated from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
When the body was found it was re-
called that recently young couple
had occupied villa on the shore of
the lake. Three days ago they disap-
peared and have not since been seen
by the people of the neighborhood.
The woman spoke English. Her COM
panion spoke French, but, obviously,
1t was not his native tongue.
1t is said that the police believe
the death of this woman is in no way
connected with the mystery surround
ing the finding last April of the body
of Miss Estella Reid of New York, on
the beach Near Naples, where it had
been washed in from the bay.
No reason for such suspicion Is
apparent, however. The cause of
Miss Reds death has never been ex-
planned

The practical jokers in Panama who

Good Mining Properties to Be De-

Toxic, Friday, Feb. 25.-Japan has
agreed tentatively to lend moral sup
mort if not actually to take financial
interest in the proposed ChlnchoW-
Aigun Railway. in which American
capitalists are interested. Japanese
|capita1ists, such as members of the
Nitsui family and the bankers of
Toxic. do not believe the line will be
constructed for many years to come.
In fact, in Japan it is not thought that
Russia will consent to the building
of Aigun at least until more progress
has been made with the projected line
north of the Amur river.
The country through which the pro-
iected line passes, is not as yet given
promise of any large amount OF busl-
ness 1t is thought likely that there
are some rather good mining proper
ties to be developed. but the more
astute business men in the country
