Como, Italy, oct. 23--Today's session
of the trial Of Porter Charlton. the
American who is charged with having
murdered his wife, was given over
largely to the reports of alienists. The
expert for the prosecution read a
lengthy report. which reached the
conclusion that Charlton was entirely
responsible mentally. The expert for
the defence argued that the prisoner
was irresponsible.
Baron Sciacca, the presiding judge.
read a deposition made by Charlton in
New Jersey shortly after his arrival
there This deposition was regarded
as Of Importance because although il
contained the admission that Charlton
killed his wife, il did not mention the
epileptic coma into which, according

committing the deed.
