HE CONFESSES CRIME "S lifted Mallet to Nlay Woman After They Had n Violent (Quarrel, Then i niuih uin- imuij in u ituiir, v>?rricnl it Down to laike, and Threw ' f it in the Water. j Porter Charlton, husband of Mary * Scott Castle Charlton, whose body was found in a trunk in Lake Conio, a Italy, reached New York on a Ger- c man Liner Thursday. A man re- 1 r semhling Charlton was arrested as ( he stepped from the steamer at h?*? r pier in llnbokcn. lie gave the names f oi Charles W. Coleman, but a report f from Hoboken said that at the po- i lice station he broke down and admitted that he was Charlton. v Charlton suid in his confession r he and his wife had beeu having sup- r per together at the villa on Lake t Corao and that Lhey had engaged in t a violent quarrel. } Chaxltou said his wife, who was p one of the best women in the world, j but had an ungovernable temper, t called him some vile names and that t Anally who he could not stand her ? abuse any longer, he attacked her f with a wooden mallet. The young P man said that .he struck her over the s head three times, knocking her unBconsclous and killing h?r. as far as p he knew.. r Charlton told the police that he a then stuck the body of his wife in u ij truuk and carried it down to the f lake, where he threw the trunk into f the water. s Tho body of Mrs. Charlton was h found packed in a truuk which was i> taken from Lake Conio near the village of Moltrasio by fishermen June a 1 OUi. The woman with her husband b had occupied a villa on the lake front, o leased by them some time before. At |j the Ume the woman's body was fouud Porter Charlton could not be found. v The Italian police have insisted that Charlton was alive and have di- n rivtpd thnir pnereifs to lnrntine the ? ? ? ?p o ; young man. American Consul Caug- h her, ob the other hand, held to the theory that a double murder had been t< committed, and it was through his tl representations that the Italian authoritles engaged divers to make the |> search of the lake bottom.. Meantime detectives followed up n their own theory and their recent f< conclusion was that Charlton was a t( passenger upon some steamer which w had sailed from Genoa or other Ital- tl lan port for New York. s The police were watching for the n arrival of the steamer Deutschland, as it had been reported that Charlton a sailed on that steamer. The officers jt had a description of Charlton, and r when they saw a man resembling 3 .him leave the ship they pounced up- n on him and placed him under ar- a rest. Ho protested vigorously and 0 seemed inclined forcibly to ofTer re- c sistanco, but he soon subsided. Capt. p Scott, brother of Mrs. Charlton, took a one look at the prisoner and said n the man was Charlton. Later Charlton made a signed statement to the police. While he was being sweated un- ^ der the "third degree," Charlton became infuriated, and drawing a revolver, tried to shoot Chief of Police Hayes. He was uuicklv disarmed. and a few minutes later confessed the crime. Within half an hour after his arrest Chariton had signed the follow ing statement: "My wife and I lived happily together. She was the best woman in 1 the world to me, but she had an i(n go veritable temper. So had 1. We frequently quarreled over the most trlval matters and her language to tne was frequently so foul that I know she did not know the meaning of it. "The night I struck her she had been quarreling with me. She was in the worst temper 1 had ever seen her in. 1 told her if she did not cease I would leave her and put a ,s stop to it. She stopped for a little while and started again. a "1 took a mallet which I had used to do household repairs and struck her three times. I thought she was dead. I put the body in a trunk in C which 1 also threw the mallet. e "About twelve that night 1 n brought the trunk to my house and p dragged It down to a small uier and C threw it overboard. I left the fol- n lowing night and went to Coroo, end f from there to Genoa, where I took li the steamer Irene three days later, f "The room where I killed her was t an outdoor sleping apartment." t Two Burned to Death.

I*n)Kr??lTM and Democrats Hold I'p Hill Putting Army in Chai-gr of Kfcluntttion Service. A combination of insurgent Republicans and Democrats took, another slap at Ralllngerism in the Senate this week. The attack came when the combination announced Its opposition to t.he bill increasing the engineer corps of the army. This bill, which adds about 60 to tin cumber of engineer officers, also au inorizes me i-resntent to place ttie army engineers in full charge of all public works. But the far-seeing insurgents immediately detected an effort to provide an easy way for Balliuger to get rid of Director Newell and Chief Engineer Davis, of the Reclamation service, as it had been quietly hinted i that one of the first uses that would be made of the law would be to place army engineers in charge of the Reclamation service, and thoieby permit Ballinger to wrcack personal vengeance upon Newell and Davis for daring to publicly proclaim that his conduct was antagonistic to the public interest. Senator Bailey of Texas is the leader in the tight against the bill, although he is actuated by personal motives. He has even admitted that he was animated by no higher purpose than a desire to get even with the array engineers for refusing to r< comment an harbor impiovement in Texas which he had advocated. The Texas Senator also announced i that he would not allow the pas- i sago of the bill, even if it was nec- i essary to resort to a filibuster. But the Senate developed other opposition equally as determined, and so strong has the feeling against the ( bill become that it is expected the effort to paBS It will be abandoned.
