voted father, Paul Charlton. former
United States judge at Porto Rico; his
mother and brother and his counsel.
The crime for which Charlton must
now stand trial created worldwide at
tention because of his grewsome set
ting and the prominence of the Slayer's
family. The fight against eXtradition
occasioned international interest and
at one time threatened to embroil this
country with Italy.
Porter Charlton was New York
bank clerk when he met Mrs. Neville

the couple We're secretly married in
Wilmington. Del. in April, 1910. A few
days later they sent announcements to
their friends and then sailed for Eu-
rope on their honeymoon. Letters re-
ceived by Captain Scott attached to
the coast artillery at Fort Myer, led to
the belief that the couple were happy
and peaceably enjoying themselves.
On the morning of June 10 the body
of Mrs. Charlton was found by fisher
men in trunk in Lake Como not far
from the villa the pair had occupied,
An investigation was started by the
police of Cern0bbio. and Russian
named Constantine Ispolatoff was ar
rested. When the authorities searched
for Charlton he had disappeared.
1t was at first believed Charlton had
met death defending his wife's honor
and the lake was searched for his
body. Then it was learned from the
proprietor Of the Hotel Suisse at Ger
nobbio that couple had frequently
appeared there and registered as Mr..
and Mrs Potter. They had often
quarreled, ana on several occasions the
woman had been seen weeping. Once
the guests heard shrieks, and the pro
prietor found Mrs. Charlton hidden in
a closet. Later her husband dragged
her to the street, and the proprietor
asked the pair to leave his hotel
These stories turned suspicion upon
Charlton. and the police of the entire
world We're asked to arrest him on
sight. None of the detectives assigned
to the case was more interchangeable
than Captain Scott, He Swore to be

was on hand when she locked

rest He had arrived under an as
sumed name. but admitted his identity
when his own name was found stitch

seemed glad that the strain was over.
At police headquarters he made
written confession in which he said
that while his wife was the best wo.

INVENTS SPEED LIMIT DEVICE
Motorist Has Sign to Flash on Reek-
less Automists.

An anti-speed device has been in
vented by an indignant motorist Of
London who is annoyed by the clouds
Of dust raised by cars passing him at
a speed beyond the legal limit He de-
scribed his invention with considerable
pride in the current issue of the Car.
He finds that when his speedometer
tells him that his car is travelling at
the legal twenty miles an hour other
cars come up behind him, blow their
horns imperiously and dash by at to-
tally illegal speeds.
To overcome this annoyance he is
constructing an ingenious apparatus
at the back Of his car which consists
of roller bearing the printed notice,
Speed Limit" which unrolls and dis
plays itself automatically when a but
ton is pressed by the driver of the car.
