The trial at Como, Italy. of Arthur Charlton, American, accused of mur- dering his wife and throwing her corpse into Lake Como. is furnishing interesting material for psychological study. Charlton has spent much of his long imprisonment in studying Italian, which he now speaks with considerable correctness, but in a slow. hesitating way which made a painful impression as he gave his testimony. This, together with the nervousness from which he suffered, robbed his tragic tale of the effect it might otherwise have produced. Charlton showed strong emotion as he described the happiness and exultation of idyllic first love, the horror of his realization that the woman he had idealized was capable (as he asserted) of vulgar vituperation, insane and unfounded accusations and insults, the constant repetition of which filled him with a |, sense of hopeless abasernen and dis gust. Tears coursed down his cheeks as, clutch1ng the bars of the cage in which he was confined, he gave his testimony

Andrew ''ReCk" Bernardo Saw ,: Action in the DardanelleS
SAYS SHERMAN WAS RIGHT
Berlin Depot Scene of Disgraceful
 Fight-New Hampshire Authorities
 Looking for Supposed Bigamist- Celebrate Thirty First Anniversary.

Andrew Beck" Bernardo of Ken sington, who has been in the United States navy for the past four years. returned to town yesterday. Bernar- do has served his full time and has recei1ed his horZ'able discharge. The first part of his service was spent on the battleship Michigan, but later he was transferred to the Tennessee.
 While on the latter ship, he made a trip to the Dardanelles and tells a
 vived story of the conditions there.
 The Tennessee left New York in April
 with a consignment of gold for Amer- Icons in Turkey.
 He describes the Turks as wonder fN fighters, saying they have abso- 1utely no respect for life or fear of death. Prior to their entrance into the European war, they had declar- ed Holy war and slaughtered all
 other surrounding peoples. Their food supply is evidently very low for while the Tennessee was docked at Smyrna, the inhabitants came to the ship every day to beg for food, talk ing even the scraps from the sail Ors meals and being thankful for it. Under the instructions of the German officers, the Turks are becoming we'll drilled in the art of modern warfare.
 Where they used to straggle along. they now march in orderly file. They are also becoming amenable to dis cipline for the officers are hard task
 masters.
 Bernardo witnessed several en-
 counters in the Dardanelles, at one time seeing 4,0o0 British soldiers blown to pieces in less than two m1n-
 utes. He says the slaughter is ter
 rible. Regarding the peninsula, he feels that it will never be taken, for
 the Turkish batteries always have a good view of the oncoming fleet The . English navy is very efficient, but heavily handicapped by tho nature of the surroundings.
 At first the crew was allowed to | gc on shore during the day but after Ethey became embroiled in street fights the privilege was taken away and they were forced to stay on board. \ The Turks are very distrustful and Tone. evening they ordered the Ten nessee to leave, believing it to be an enemy ship. At night the search light of the vessel was constantly kept on the flag so the ship would not be fired on.
 For days at time no sun was v1s- lble, on account of the heavy smoke from the batteries. It rained con- tinually
 The Tennessee was commanded by Captain Albert Niblick, who was one < Df the first to experiment with smoke

ernment- The ship is now in the Portsmouth navy yard undergoing repairs.
 Bernardo says he thoroughly agrees with Sherman's definition of war and fervently hopes this country will never have recourse to 1t. He has passed the engineers examination on the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad and expects to enter the employ of that company in the near future.
 Disgraceful Scene.
 The depot was the scene of a dis graceful occurrence last night about Il o'clock, when two men, more or less under the influence of liquor, came to blows after a wordy war. Their actions were disgusting and their language was such that passen- gers waiting for the 11:10 train were forced to go over to the Kensington post office, so they would be out of earshot of the iebrated men. No enc but the duo knows the cause of the argument, but whatever it was, there was no reason for their lan- guage. The authorities are investi- gs ting the incident and if the offend CTS are apprehended they will be made to feel the hand of the law.
 Looking for Bigamist.
 Selectman Gibney received letter from the Nashua, N. H., authorities yesterday, asking him to find man who, they believe, is living in town. The letter states that the man in question formerly lived there and was married. One day he departed, leav- ing his wife. Since then she has be- come a dependency on the city and the officials wish to find her husband From one source they learned he had been married again in Hartford, and tfrom another he is now residing in Berlin. He was never divorced from his first wife and they will prosecute him if he is found. Mr. Gibney will look into the affair.
 Surprise Party.
 MT. and Mrs. C. R. Starr of Hud- son street were pleasantly surprised last night when twenty four friends from New Britain and Berlin called to join them in dual celebration. The couple celebrated their thirty first wedding anniversary and also MT. Starr's birthday. The evening was pleasantly passed with singing, piano selections and stereopticon views. Refreshments were served.
 With Tho Selcctman.
 First Selectman William H. Gib- ney is in Springfield today closing the contract for the new bookkeeping system for the town. The members of the committee which recommended that the town have a finance board, also suggested a new method of bookkeeping. It was found that it would cost $20O to install it and the money was voted at the recent town meeting. The Walter w. Eaton com pany, certified public accountants of Springfield, has been awarded the con- tract and will commence work prob ably the first part of next week The board of selectmen will ask the finance board to appropriate enough money to operate the stone crusher in the Blue Hills district, so the road there may be repaired in the near future. The road is in a bad condition at present
