May Return Charlton
Is Declared Insane

ROME. June a.-It is probable that on
the arrival here of Porter Charlton, the
young American who killed his wife and
threw the body into Lake Como three
years ago, will be examined by medical
experts. II they declare him to be in
sane he can easily be sent 70 America
and placed in an asylum there. The
Italian government will probably readily
consent to this. as IL is said that there
are now $1,000 insane Italians in Ameri-
can asyiums. as compared with 100
American citizens in Italian institutions.
The question as TO whether or not the
Italian government should pay for the
difference in number between the Ital-
ians in American institutions and the
Americans In Italian insane asylums
has been In abeyance for years. and the
government does not wish to raise 1t
