This shows the place where Porter Charlton has spent the last two years and a half of the five years since he killed his wife with a mallet, put her body in a trunk and threw it into Lake Como, Italy. His cell is six feet long, three feet wide and six feet high and the iron bench which constitutes the sole piece of furniture is eighteen inches wide. If Charlton is convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment the time he has spent in this cell will be deducted from his sentence. The inserts show the young American and his bride. She was forty years old, but still a woman of dazzling beauty when he killed her. He was twenty years old then and is twenty-five now. His trial in Como next week is expected to prove a great sensation.

"ONE MAN FAIR" ATTRACTS

HARTFORD CITY. Ind.. Cept. 30. Visitors for miles around attended the "one man fair" held at the farm of J. W. Dawley, a wealthy farmer, at which a collection of relics and curios, one of the finest in the United States, was on display. Dawley's collection has cost a high figure, and he traveled thousands of miles in order to obtain some of the curios.

The tragedy of gentle and unsophisticated youth wedded to a brilliant, witty and world-seasoned woman twenty years his senior, will be unfolded in all its heart-breaking details next week at Como, where the trial of the American, Porter Charlton, begins on Tuesday. It was more than five years ago, in the summer of 1910, that Italian fishermen casting their nets in beautiful Lake Como, drew to the surface a trunk containing the battered body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Porter, who had been leading a gay life with- her immature husband in a villa on the hillside. There were theories that the husband had been murdered too until he was arrested several days later as he stepped off a steamship in Hoboken, New Jersey, and candidly described the crime to the New York police. He said that his wife had a habit of taunting him with his innocence, and of saying vitriolic and sarcastic things to him. She led him into a life of debauchery, also, he declared. On the evening of the murder they were both under the influence of liquor, but not so much that bitter wit was not working. She made a remark of an intensely personal nature. What this was Charlton has steadfastly refused to say, but it maddened him so that

he caught up a mallet that happened to be at hand and beat her to death. For this deed Charlton will come to the bar on the formal charge of "unpremeditated murder," the extreme penalty in case of conviction being twenty years imprisonment. But Italian prisons where persons awaiting trial are so severe in their treatment that the prisoner's stay there is deducted from the penal servitude imposed on conviction. Charlton will not be able to use the three years which he spent in confinement in New Jersey fighting extradition, but he will be credited with almost two years and a half which he has passed in his narrow cell at Como. If the victim were a man and the accused a woman, Charlton's tale would be a common one. Maidenly innocence mated with blase middle-age, the awakening of the woman in a wife who has not understood the possibilities of her nature, and the murder of her spouse in her desperate efforts to retrieve part of her life, have long been stock properties of the novelist and playwright. In Charlton's case the roles are reversed. She was an over-temperamental brunette Of forty with a decided past when they met, while he was a quiet mannered bank clerk of twenty

These men, who have been unselfishly putting forth their best efforts to rehabilitate the Republican party in this state, feared that their work would be handicapped by Watson's recent action of entering the political arena as an office seeker. It is said that these men are now in a panic lest Joe Cannon's former "whip of the house" will attempt to "Watsonlze" the reorganized Republican party through the medium of the state paper they have been informed he has secured temporary control of. Party leaders opposed to Watson are of the opinion that if Watson ever succeeds in again dominating the Republican organization in Indiana the support of the bulk of the vast army of independent, progressive voters will be lost to the party and there will be a repetition of the Democratic successes of recent years. Watson's Backers. The report that Watson has secured temporary control of the Times is embellished with the rumor that behind him in this project is that almost invisable but, nevertheless, very real and powerful organization, commonly called the Employers' Association of Indianapolis. It was this organization that fought to a standstill the striking union street railway employes two years ago, and, prior to that, the union teamsters. At that time the Times, or Sun as it was known then, was owned by George H. Lark, now managing editor of the New York Mail, and W. D. Boyce, and was managed by the former. Lark fought valiently and alone for the cause of the street railway strikers. The result was an almost complete boycott of that paper by advertisers. Then Lark was ousted and Banbury made publisher. Among several things done by Boyce to placate the irate advertisers was to change the name of the paper to the Times. It is said, however, that all these overtures failed to meet with satisfactory response

years, who spent most of his time when home from his duties as a clerk In the National Bank of New York. in wandering through the reals of fine literature. Charlton is a son of Judge Paul Charlton, who was a classmate of President Taft at Yale college, and who was solicitor general of the war department and head of the bureau of insular affairs when the Charlton case burst into the public prints. In February, 1910, he met Mrs. Mary Scott Castle. She was living in a luxurious hotel apartment. From the first night they were introduced, when he escorted her home, they were together all the time he could take from his work. They could scarcely take their eyes off each other, acquaintances say. One month later they went to Wilmington, Del., were married and returned the same day to live in her apartments. It was a week before Charlton wrote to his brother telling of his marriage. Judge Charlton got a glimpse of his daughter-in-law's past and hurried to New York. He found the couple apparently dead in love and decided his course was to make the test of it. About this time a physician informed Charlton he had a slight tendency to tuberculosis and advised him to spend a year in Southern Europe. On April 16, 1910, they sailed for Genoa.
