IS PLACED
On RIAL
Young American Faces Court in
Italy for Murder Of Wife
Five Years Ago; insanity
is Defense Plea
BY ALICE RoHE.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
Como, Italy, Oct. 5.-Porter Charl-
ton went to trial here today.
From the iron cage in which the
prisoner in Italy is always confined in
the co, room, the young American
not yet twenty-five, listened to the
opening OF the case. From the start
it was clear that the defense would
attempt to- prove that he was insane
when he killed with a mallet his wife
of less than a month on the night of
June Z, 1910 stuffed her body in
trunk and threw il into the depths Of
Lake Como
The strangeness of the crime was
not lessened by the medieval cage. and
the two fantastically costumed carhi-
neers who guarded him, with their Ma
poleonic hats gaily cockaded and their
decorated uniforms. appeared in spite
Of the sinister setting like opera bouffe
chorusmen
Charlton is an American with Italian
lawyers. in an Italian court being tried
by Italian methods However. in the
two years since he was taken back to
italy, he has learned the Italian Ian
guage sufficiently well to be able to
follow the progress OF his trial.
The jury which will hear the pleas
is an unusual one for Italy 1t is made
up almost entirely of professional men,
and the reports Of the alienists who
have been watching the prisoner viii
not fall upon ignorant ears. There
have been three reports by alienists-
all of type familiar in America
which will be introduced at the trial
7he first, for the defense. declared him
insane at the time the crime was com
mitted. the second, for the crown, de-
clared him sane, and the third, provid-
ed by the government, left loopholes
both ways
Coming between the court and the
prisoner were the visions of the penal
ty which may be visited upon him The
sentence for deliberate murder is life
imprisonment. The first ten years of
life term are spent in solitary confine-
ment in a dark cell with only bread
and water for food--a sentence which
practically means death from insanity
in a few yearsh The sentence for MUIR
der not deliberate is twenty years.
abe many extenuating circumstances
in the case. together with the youth
of the prisoner. and the fact that
crimes of passion" are not regarded
with great seriousness in Italy, have
led Charlton's counsel to believe that
it will be quite possible to free him.

By United Press.

London, Oct. 5.-Petrograd dis.
patches received today state that Rus.
sia's twenty-four hour ultimatum was
not handed to the Bulgarian foreign
office until 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Since the period in which Bulgaria
must reply did not begin until the ulti-
matum was delivered Bulgaria has un-
til o'clock this afternoon (Petrograd
time) in which to back down.
All telegraphic communication with
Bulgaria is greatly delayed and it is
believed possible that the ultimatum
did not reach the Russian legation at
Sofia until yesterday
1t is believed in some quarters that
the Bulgarian censor purposely held
up. the communication in order to give
his government more time for com
pIete mobilization. This opinion, how.
ever, is not shared by the Russian for
eign office dispatches says.
