HAPPIEST TIME IN LIFE.
Charlton Declares Regarding Stay In
Asylum Awaiting Murder Trial.

Rome, May 6, via Paris, May T.
81 shall remember the time | nave
spent here as the happiest in my
life,'' was the assertion made by Por-
ter Charlton in reply to question
as to whether he was being well treat
ed at the asylum where he is in Gus
tody awaiting trial on the charge of
numbering his wife. He has prepared
a long statement in his own defense,
written in Italian. ...,,.
Charlton's examination by expert
alieiists has been virtually completed.
DR.. Valtorta, retained by the defense,
has come to the conclusion that be-
cause of nervous excitement Charlton
was entirely irresponsible when he
killed his wife. DR.. Falciola, APP
pointed by the court, has decided, on
the contrary, that he was only partly
irresponsible. In view of this diff
ference of opinion third expert,
probably Prof. Maggiotto, director OF
the asylum in which Charlton is con-
fined, will be appointed. He probably
will require two months more for his
examination, in which case the trial
will not begin before December.

In what were characterized as the
two best games of baseball played in
Sumter since the city went out of pro-
fessionalism, the loc"ls twice trimmed
the strong Wilmington team on Mon
day. the score of the morning being 4
TO and in the afternoon the result
was to 4. Both games were we'll
played and were worthy of the largest
crowds which have attended any base
ball games here since Clemson and
Trinity colleges played here in 1911.
They also exemplified the fact that
Sumter has a team which is one that
the people of the town may we'll be
proud of and one that they should
give their hearty support to.
The games were not won on fiukes,
but by the hard and consistent playing
of the locals all the way through.
Timely hits gave them the game in
one of the most thrilling ninth in
ming finishes ever seen on the local
diamond. Mabry's homer won the
morning game. Home runs were
thrice repeated, Joe Chandler and
Kite repeating Mabrys morning per-
formance in the afternoon. The Will
mington team is strong bunch of
players and the locals may we'll feel
proud Of their feat.
The morning game started off with
Frank Chandler in the box for the To-
calls and Sheperd for the visitors. The
visiting slabman had slightly the ad-
vantage of the local man. He struck
out thirteen men to Chandler's eight
and gave only six hits, when eight
were secured off Chandler.
