Baltimore, Aug. 1.-THE death of
Edith May Woodill in the bungalow
of Lame Bob" Eastman at st.
Michaels, Maryland, and the murder
of Mrs. Charlton in Italy were linked
together today by the Baltimore Sun.
The Sun suggests the possibility Of
Mrs. Charlton being the person re-
ferred to in Eastman's letters as hav-
ing killed Mrs. Woodill with a
champagne bottle. 1t stated that res
idents of st. Michaels recognized the
pictures of Charlton and his wife as
the couple seen with Eastman before
Mrs. Woodill was murdered Charl-
ton was at the National City bank
here in June. 1909, and the bank rec
ords show he was not absent on any
business day in 1909. Mrs. woodill
was murdered on June 81. Eastman
killed himself shortly afterward
while pursued by the sheriff. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict that
an unknown person killed. Mrs. Woo
dill.
Ihc sun says. ISTSOuS pTOIeSS-
ing to have seen the party at the
bungalow say the pictures published
of Charlton's wife and Charlton were
those of the man and woman seen at
Eastman's bungalow" The Sun re-
counts the scenes at the bungalow as
described by neighbors and refers to
the quick temper of Mrs. Charlton,
and the fact that she drank heavily.
Regarding Charlton working in a
bank at Baltimore the Sun says: 1T
is possible he may have left here, and
gone to st. Michaels where he met his
future wife. Charlton visited st.
Michaels four or five times, and liked
the place. Many still believe East
man is innocent of the woman's death
and attribute his suicide to the fact
that he was fugitive from justice
and feared to face a trial and have
his past life exposed. 1t is supposed
there were two women in the bun
galow besides Eastman when Mrs.
Woodill was struck down. The iden-
tity Of the second man is unknown.
II is supposed Charlton first met his

Which was the stronger, his love
for the woman or his hatred for the
man.? II he spoke at all, 1t would be
for her sake, naught else. Would the
man understand that, would she?
Whatever happened, he had possessed
her; she had been his for brief hours.
Did he have the strength now to give
her to lee else even though he
were dead? Being dead, would he
know?
The struggle racked and tore him in
his heart. He could come to no de
cision, at least not then. What he
would do later would depend upon cir
cumstances. One thing he could do
and that was to go and find the man.
Attending to such matters as we're
most pressing and taking the precau-
ton to make his will, a strange will,
at which his attorney ventured to
demonstrate unavailingly, at last he
started on that journey across the con
tinent in his private car. He left the
car at Suffolk, Virginia, and with q
motor which had been transported
with him he ran up the west side of
the inlet until he came to the manor
house which a local guide, picked up
by the way, pointed out to him.

A Promise Broken.

~
It was that same late spring morn
ing when John Charnock sat on the
porch overlooking the pale waters Of
Hampton Roads past Newport News
and Old Point Comfort and the blue
waters of the Chesapeake and the
bluer ocean beyond. The motor a
was stopped outside the great gate
at the end of the long avenue Of trees
which led to the river sac 1t could
have been driven in, but as he ap-
preached the house more nearly with
his mind still In a state of indecision,
in order further to collect his thoughts
and because he was tired from the
long ride and because he would not
trespass on Charnock more than was
absolutely necessary, Langford de-
cided to walk.
Now the sight OF a motor car was
not unusual and Charnock glanced at
1t indifferently enough until it stopped
at the gate. He did not recognize
the tall, slender figure which came
slowly UP the path by the side
of the drive under the great arch
OF trees. Still as the man drew
nearer, he arose and with true
Virginia hospitality, a hospitality he
had easily learned since 1t was in his
blood, he descended the steps to the
terrace n would have descended far

at last. you of all men. What are

His brow was dark, his hands

you have done?"

toward him.

mind his course, although he knew
what it would be from the very mo-
ment that the lords had fallen from
Langford's lips. He must go back, if
for no other reason than to settle the
doubt, to answer the question, to sat
isfy the wild clamor of his soul, to kill
the hope that flashed into his breast
at the others words.
His reverie was interrupted by the
arrival of a strange negro. Langford
had stopped at a village tavern, it ap-
peared, where he had procured writ
ing materials. He had paid the boy
literally to bring the note to Char
mock. The envelope was sealed. Be-
meath his name was written these
words:
A you are a gentleman and re-
spect the request Of a dead man, you
will not open the envelope until you
stand pom the island"
Never was there such a prohibition.
Never was there such a consuming
desire in the mans heart to defy
it and disregard it. Yet that vague,
intangible thing we call honor, backed
by a flimsy bit of paper and paste,
held Charnock with letters of steel.
The envelope decided him He rose
to his feet, entered the house, sent for
his uncle, told him the story and bade
him get ready to start for San Fran
cisco that night. Whitaker and the
chaplain, summoned temporarily from
h great undertaking, joined them at
Washington, and the little party went
rushing westward in a private car on
a special train as fast as team and
steel could tax them. And yet to
the heart of the man their progress
was SO slow that every hour he be-
came more frantic with Impotence.
Back in the little village inn by the
roadway L~angford, alone, lay dying.
A strange lawyer wrote a few letters
for him confirming a will made in San
Francisco leaving ever dollar he pos
sessed to CharnOck's great undertake
ing on condition that his name be not
mentioned in it and that those who
cared for him might regard it as the
end of a great expiration. And so min
instered unto by a strange clergyman,
he passes out of sight, having made
what amendment he could. He loved
much in the end, surely in the end
much would be forgiven him! Poor
L~angfOrd!

How awful had been those two years
upon that island! They would have
been completely in~supportable had it
not zen for the forethought and kind
ness Of LangfOrd. The books were not
such as she would have chosen, but
they were books, at any rate, and she
knew them by heart. Of the cloth
that he had left, she had fashioned for
herself such simple garments as were
suitable to her situation, rejoicing that
she was no longer compelled to wear
b rough, coarse, chatting grass tunics
Of the past.
The greatest blessing, however, of
all that had been left to her was the
writing paper, the note books and
pencils. They had given her occupa-
ton after all other things had failed
her, for she had written down the
story of her life. Not imagining that
they would ever be seen by human
eyes, she had poured her whole soul
out on the pages. Every incident had
been one over. Not Rousseau him
self had been franker in his Comics
sions,' but here was only sweetness
and light. She had restricted her
writing to a certain number of mo-
ments daily in order to prolong the
occupation as much as possible, and
she had carefully considered every
thing ere she put 1t down.
Twice daily she had gone to the
