Union Stockyards, Portland, Jan. 25.
Eighty-eight carloads of livestock
were received here, over Sunday, but
the hog receipts .. .were fortunately
lighter than a week ago, 8030 coming
in compared with 7200 a week ago
today. They were of a little better
quality in the mainland, prices were
a dime higher. y. ..,
Cattle were in heavy supply this
morning, and sales were fairly brisk,
with last week's prices still effective
for prime light steers. Cows gained
25 cents, but the other, lines remained
unchanged.. :. '

heavy trunk containing a. corpse al
most immediately ' identified as that
of i the beautiful American -: actress,
who with her husband, had rented an
isolated villa on the lake shore.
Charlton fled. His attempts to con
ceal identity aboard a liner 'bound for
America were clumsy and he was ar
rested two weeks later and'taken from
the vessel at the Hoboken, N. J., pier,
A long fight was made to save him
from extradition. He 'was finally re
turned to Italy and for about two
years has been a prisoner in tfhe little
town of Como, in ;, the lake region
bordering on the Swiss frontier.
Mrs. Charlton, Iwho had been twice
wedded,, was formerly Miss Mary
Scott, San Jose, Cal, society beauty,
the daughter of a wealthy San Fran
cisco business man, and the sister of
Capt Hewey Scott of the Uinted
States Army.
Her first marriage to Newille Cas
tle, a handsome young Calif ornian,
was a failure. They were divorced.
Neville went to Alaska and his wife
to the stage where she achieved some
favorable comment, and ' later much
notoriety by shooting a New York
lawyer in the elevator of the Waldorf
Astora hotel, New York City. ' '
Charlton, whose father was a class
mate ' at Yafe of ; former . President
Taft, wag a mere boy, just out of
college and beginning life as a .bank
clerk in New York when he met the
dashing divorcee.. Though nearly
twenty years his senior, she charmed
young Charlton with her beauty and
won him over the strenuous ob jec
tiops of his father, Judge Charlton.
They were married at Wilmington,
Del., on May 12, 1910. Four day3
later they sailed for Genoa going from
Genoa to the lake country. ; ;
After spending several days at a
hotel where several serious quarrels
caused objections by the proprietor,
the "honeymooners" rented the lonely
villa where Mrs. Charlton was slain.
The prosecution, in setting up its
claim of premediated murder, will al
lege that Charlton planned the crime
several days before it was committed
and selected the villa because he was
satisfied the murder would go undis
covered. ' .'-V-
The prosecution will further at
tempt to show that three days before
the body -was found, Charlton asked
some fishermen if the lake was deep.
To support further the claim that the
murder was planned in cold blood,
tfite king's prosecutor will point out
that in the trunk in which Mrs. Charl
ton's body was found : were found
bundles of letters written by former
lovers and supposedly placed in the
trunk by Charlton. '
The defense will answer that if the
murder had been planned days in ad
vance, Charlton-would have equipped
himself with a better weapon. The
wooden mallet he used to crush his
wife's skull was seized on the impulse
of the moment and without thought
of committing murder, the defense
will contend.
No witnesses from America will
testify when Charlton is placed on
trial. Evidence in his defense will be
offered chiefly in the form of deposi
tions. Some of these will include
sworn statements by alienists who ex
amined while he was under arrest
here. Others will relate to his family
history in support of his plea of
mental irresponsibility. Mrs. Charl
ton's "past" in New York and Pacjfic
coast cities will be covered thoroughly
in depositions.
Neither Charlton's father, now prac-
