THE MURDER or MRS. CHARLTON

The police OF Como, Italy, are con
WINGED that Porter Charlton is alive.
They claim to have indisputable
evidence that he was seen on the even
ing Of the day the body of Mrs. Mary
Scott Castle Charlton, was found in
Lake Como. That would eliminate the
theory of a double murder, and the
police do not believe that Charlton
committed suicide.
The investigation of the murder
shifted yesterday to an analysis of the
manner Of the killing.
1t is now believed that Mrs. Charlton
was attacked in an upper chamber of
their villa and that the first blow was
struck wi h terra Gotta statuette which
the artist had named Love"
Pieced together by experts in
evidence gathering, plusible story of
the violent scene was evolved. Accord
ing to this there was dinner in the
villa during which much wine was
drunk. The police do not profess to
say who the diners. other than Mrs.
Charlton, were, but the fight that fol-
lowed is confidently attributed in part
to a brain inhamed with drink.
1t is said that quarrel occurred and
that the woman was struck on the head
withthe statuette receiving awound from
which the blood flowed freely. With
the blow the s;atuette was broken into
thousand pieces.
Mrs. Charlton appears to have fled
to the chamber above, seeking refuge
i'm her bed. where the sheets were sat
urated with her blood. While still on
her feet, Investigators say she was
struck again and fell, h head dropping
upon a pillow, which bears a large red
stain. PROSTATE upon the bed, the
woman, it is imagined, received six
other blows which rendered her insen-
sible and apparently quite lifeless. The
wall of the bedroom bearing red stains
and the condition OF the room generally
leave no doubt Of what had been going
on there. The stairs and the walls
adjoining are stained indicating, hey
say, that after having been made un
conscious Mrs. Charlton was dragged
through the room and down the stairs
to the ground floor and there placed in
the trunk, which was later weighted and
sunk in Lake Como.

CONFERENCE agreement upon the
railroad bill Tuesday has caused gen
eral surprise and satisfaction TO every
one except the reactionaries. The bill
came from the conference committee
as strong if not stronger than when 1t
left the Senate. The measure is an adj
vance in the interest Of the public, a
step forward in the progressive move
ment. For this result the aroused
spirit of the public and the determine
ton of the progressive men in both
houses are entitled to credit. Mr.. Al
drich and the reactiOnaries were beaten
at their own game They were forced
reluctantly to yield to what was known
10 be the predominant sentiment in the
House, realizing that if they carried
Trough their plan of emaSculating the
measure. the House would reject the
conference report and accept the Senate
bill. The threat from the House to
accept the bill just rs it passed the Sen
ate was ever before Messrs. Aldrich and
Elkins, and they finally surrendered.
