Porter Charlton, son of former Fed
eral Judge Paul Charlton of Porto Ri
co, killed his wife, Mary Scott Castle
Charlton, in villa at Como, Italy, on
June 9, 1910, while they were on their
honeymoon. He struck her on the
head with a wooden mallet during a
quarrel, doubled her body in a trunk
and sank the trunk in Lake Como. A
fisherman drew the trunk and its CON
tents to the surface the next dav.
Charlton fled to this country, arriv-
ing in Hoboken on June %. He was
arrested at the pier and taken to police
headquarters, where he confessed that
he had killed his wife. He said she
had violent fits Of temper and fire.
quently abused him. 1t was during one
of her outbursts, he said, that he com
committed murder.
Charlton was confined for three years
III the Hudson county JAIL jersey City.
Ahenists examined him and declared
he was Il victim of Oppressive insanity.
John a. Blair, then County Judge, sit
ting as a committing magistrate, held
him for extradition to Italy.
Judge Charlton applied to the United
States District court at Trenton for a
writ of habeas corpus to review the
proceedings before Judge Blair and the
writ was denied. The case was taken
before the United States supreme court
on appeal, the contention being made
by Charlton s lawyers that the treaty
between the United States and Italy
made in 1868 had been nullifed by the
refusal of Italy to permit the extradi-
ton to this country Of Italians ac-
| cused of crime. The court handed
down a decision on June 10, 1913. or
dering the surrender of Charlton to the
Italian officials.
The young man was taken to Italy
on the steamship Re d'Italia, arriving
at Naples August IS, 1913. Franchini.
one of his Italian guards on the way
over, said he was the most docile ana
cheerful prisoner ever confded to his
keeping. Charlton was taken to the
San Domino prison on the west shore
OF Lake Como, where three years be
| fore he had killed his wife.
The Italian courts are slow to move,
| and further delays in ordering a trial
were caused by the outbreak of the
war. 1t was not until October IS last
that the trial began before Baron
Seiacca. Charlton testified in Italian
blaming his victim for her death at
his hands, but insisted he had no recol-
| lection whatever of the actual killing
Charlton was in his 21st year at the
time Of his crime. He was a bank
clerk when he married the divorced
! wife of Neville H. Castle. a San Fran
cisco lawyer, and sister OF Capt Henry
Harrison Scott of the United States
coast artillery.

Combined Life Preserver and Grin.

Designed not only to look like an
ordinary travelling bag but to be used
as one under ordinary conditions. 4
life proserver that has just been invent
ed apparently provides a sensible So
luton of the problem of safety at sea
in time of sudden emergency. The bag
IS equipped with a false bottom that
serves to hold in folded position a
Water-tight union suit which is attached
in such a way that the bag and suit
act IS Il water-tight unit. In an
emergency all that is necessary is to
dump out the contents of the bag, re-
move the false bottom to let the suit
unfold, and get inside. The user then
closes and locks the top over his head
and jumps into the water, the required
huoyaney being supplied by the bag.
The body Of the bag is equipped with
window and with valves that admit
air but not water. Inside. there is
space fer storing food and water suffici-
ent to last several days. To prevent dis
aster in case the water-tight suit is pune
ctured an air tight bag that is easily in
flated is installed inside the travelling
bag. The device is Illustrated in the

COMO, Oct. &c. = Porter Charlton.
the young American, was found guilty
Yesterday of the murder of his wife,
Mary Scott Charlton. He was senten-
ced to six years and five months in
prison. As he has already served more
than five years in prison the sentence
IS considered equivalent to setting him
free
Crown Prosecutor Signor MeIlini in
his argument to the jury bitterly ar
ralgned the prisoner. He eategorically
denied the representations of the de-
fence that Charlton was mentally IN
balanced when he beat his wife to
death with mallet and that he had
provocation. The prosecutor insinuated
that Charlton had married the victim
for her savings and appropriated her
Jewels after killing her. Concluding,
he demanded a heavy sentence.

USING THE FEET IN BOXING"
Method Recognized in France Has
Naver 5ecome Popular in
This Country.

The form of boxing known as ia
zavate," in which the feet are used
as well as the fists, and kicks are as
legitimate as blows, has for long
time been a popular exercise i'll
French gymnasia and schools of
arms. In this country it is prac-
ticallv unknown, although attempt
has been made at various times 10
introduce it here.
The first principle is that the
whole weight of the body shall be
placed on one leg, and that the far
chest from the adversary The dis
engaged leg is used as an adjunct
to the fists, and flies out with aston
ishing swiftness and accuracy of aim.
The coup de savate' proper is the
"chasse" off the right foot, or "shin
hit" dangerous blow, but one that
is easily avoided by raising the left
knee to the level Of the waist, For
midablc as this method of assault
and others, such as the coup d'ar-
ret" or straight stop hit, and the
"coup de figure" or swinging face
kick, may be, and undoubtedly are
with an expert, the parties and
guards are simple and sure if prop
erly used.
