TRIAL OF PORTER
C
Como, Italy, Oct 6. Nervous and
depressed, Porter Charlton, youthful
slayer of his wife, the handsome Mary
Scott Castle, of California, is back
today In his cell. His trial tor mur
der has been adjourned to October 18
upon request of his new counsel,
Mldhepe Plcardl, who asked tor time
to study the" records. With Hps
twitching, Charlton rattled the bars
of the prisoners' iron cage in the
courtroom and begged that the case
be not postponed.
The wearisome preliminaries were
disposed of yesterday. An Italian
attorney harangued the court with a
long plea for damage! for Ispalatolf,
a Russian; falsely accused and Im
prisoned after Mrs. Charlton's bat
tered body was taken from the mur
der trunk fished out of Loko Como.
Still another attorney asked for dam
ages for Mrs. Legnazzl, owner of tho
Charlton honeymoon villa, In which
Charlton hammered his handsome
bride to death. He declared the place
has gained the reputation of (being
"haunted" since the tragedy and that
no tourists will rent It. Both claims
were dismissed, however.
