CHARLTON is GUILTY
Italian Magistrate Says Young AmeH-
can Murdered His Wife

Rome, June 19.-Judge Fracazzi,
the examining magistrate, before
whom the inquiry into the murder of
Mrs. Mary S. G. Charlton has been
held at Como, delivered his official
report to the foreign office. In it he
places the guilt upon the missing hus-
band, Porter Charlton.
Nearly every bit of testimony ad-
duced at the hearing, he reports,
tends to show that the crime was COM
mitted by Charlton. Beyond this, the
Judge is convinced that the young
American was not himself murdered
and that his body is not at the bottom
of Lake Como.
AS the result of these findings, II
is declared here that Constantine.
Ispolatoff, the Russian arrested soon
after the crime was discovered, will
soon be released,

Government Determined TO Sc.
cure Arrest Of Walsh
OFFERS REWARD FOR ARREST
Whoever Captures Dealer In Faro
Game In Which Coleman Was
SWindIed Out of Vast Sum Is In Line
For Fine Government Position
keIiher Still Languishing In Jail,
Being Unable to Raise $50, ZOO

Boston, June 21.-"The United
States department Of justice will pay
a reward of 5000 for the arrest and
delivery to a proper federal officer OF
Martin j. Walsh, who is wanted by
the federal authorities in the district
Of Massachusetts, for aiding and abet-
ting in the misapplication of funds Of
the National City bank of Cambridge. "
The above notice with photograph
and description Of Walsh, who has
been accused of being the dealer for
the faro gang which swindled George
w. Coleman, the bookkeeper of the
bank, out of more than 5000 900, has
been sent broadcast through the
country to every United States mar
shall and every chief of police between
the Atlantic and the Pacific in the
hope of securing his arrest.
Only in rare cases does the national
government offer a reward for the ap-
prehension of a criminal and then
usually not until the person is indict-
ed. The action of the attorney gen.
eral in offering the reward in the case
of Walsh is said to indicate the de-
termined attitude of the government
to arrest him, and gives the case a
national Importance.
The same notice has been sent
abroad to all the foreign representa-
dves of the United States and to con-
suls and other officers of the national
government, who reside in every
quarter of the globe. The hunt for
Walsh has in consequence become
world wide.
As Walsh's captor will be given an
opportunity, it is understood, to Sc
cure an enviable government posi-
ton, In addition to the reward. a
lively hunt for the missing man is
expected to ensue. His arrest Is looked
for now at any time. Shortly after he
left Boston in March, his trunks were
traced out of the country.
The description of him is given as
follows: HE was born In Holden,
Mass. is Al years old, feet IL
inches In height, 205 pounds IN weight,
may be little lighter at present; very !
dark moustache, wears It closely |
invariably; married"
Walsh's alleged confederate, big
Bill" Keliher, who was convicted OF
aiding and abetting Coleman In mis-
applying funds of the bank, has been
In Charles street Jail since last Thurs
day, when the verdict was returned
against him and his bail was increased |
from s25, 900 to $50, 900 Every effort |
on the part of counsel Is being made
to secure the required amount of bail.
Keliher expects to secure 1t within
a few days, but owing to the difficulty
experienced heretofore, 1t is believed
It will be some time yet before he is
released from jail.
