COMO MURDER
Continued From First Page.

CRAAAAAAH|A Il ANAAA EAAri Idkts
June 4. at least a day before the mur-
der was committed. But have failed
utterly. The statement of NJ. Bassi,
a druggist of Cernobbio. that he lent
a pair of brass knuckles to Ispolatoff
was expected to bring stratling de-
velopments, but the prisoner refused
to show any embarrassment when con-
fronted with this bit OF evidence, and
camly insisted that Bassi was mis-
taken.
The police say it is possible that
the wounds in Mrs. Charlton's head
could have been produced by these
"knuckles" but they hardly think IT
probable. The wounds were fearful
bruises, rather than cuts, such as the
"knuckle" would probably have pro-
duced This leads the police to revert
to their original theory that a club
or some other blunt instrument was
the weapon used.
The police have not vet abandoned
the idea that there may be a connec-
tion between the Charlton murder and
the murder of Miss Estelle Reid, the
ed ashore at Naples several weeks ago
So far as announced the only thing
to connect the two crimes is the slight
similarity in the disposition of the
bodies.
The police are trying to find out
from Miss Reids family in America
whether Porter Charlton was acquaint-
cd with her.
The most generally accepted theory
among those who believe that Ispola-
tok murdered both Mrs. Charlton and
hnr t.
gler and adventurer committed the
crime for the purpose of robbery. The
only thing in support of this is the
fact that all the jewelry and other
valuables in the Charlton villa were
missing, which would have been the
case. also the police say, had Charlton
committed the crime
Ispolatoff laughed at the story that
he was in love with Mrs. Charlton.
Il saw enough of the married life of
the Charltons to make it impossible for
me ocare for rms. Charlton" he said
to-day Then, too. Charlton told me
certain things about his wife. which,
if true, might have preyed upon his
mind and finally led him to kill the
woman"
The police refused to make public
the alleged accusation that Charlton
made against his wife. but il is known
that second examination of the body
of the woman was made as a result
of Ispoatoffs statement.
SEATTLE. June 1S.-The Rev. Al
bert A. Clay, of Wilmington. Del, who
married Mrs. Mary Scott Castle and
Porter Charlton, said yesterday:
The couple came to me at Will
mington from New York and asked tc
be married. They answered all mS
questions satisfactorily and l perform
ed the ceremony. Charlton seemed tC
be highly educated, as did the woman
| noted that the woman was much
older than Charlton and that he seem
ed in poor health.
Some weeks after the marriage
received a letter from Mr.. Charlton
father asking II the report OF his sons
marriage was correct. The father seem-
cd to be surprised at the wedding"

Johnnie Poe. one OF the famous
Princeton football family, and incl
dentally greatnephew Of Edgar AL
Ian Poe, was a general in the army
OF Honduras in one of their recent
wars. Finally, when things began to
look black with peace and the Am

princely pay when translated into
United States money was about sixty
cents a day, he struck for the coast.
There he found United States war
ship and asked for transportation
home.

We'll be glad to have you. Come
aboard whenever you like and bring
your luggage"
Thanks" said Poe warmly. "I'n

Senator Flint, of California, state
which has adopted new direct pri
mary law, after looking it over, has
concluded that it will cost him from
$50,000 to $4,000 to make the race
for reelection, and the worst of it is
he is not certain of election after
he has expended this sum. One of
the principal arguments Of those who
have advocated the adoption of the
direct primary in voting in Colorado
has been that it would shut out the
millionaires and give the man of
moderate circumstances a chance of
election. 1t is now beginning to dawn
that under the primary system a can
didate must be there strong with the
money or he is completely barred
from consideration for almost any
office. candidate virtually has to
make two campaigns, and it matters
not for what office he is aspiring
He first has to spend money to get
the nomination and he next has to
distribute the long-green for election
And the people are likewise under a
double expense. They have to pay for
the primaries and for the election
The only benefit comes to the news
papers and the big majority of the
papers of Colorado are opposing the
enactment of a primary election law.
And they say the newspapers are
grafters and always out for the coin.
