ITALIAN VERDICT
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Como, Italy, Oct. 26. Sentenced
to a term which, counting the am
nesty, means only a brief Imprison
ment, Porter Charlton, wlfe-elayer,
is already planning his return to
America. Tbe verdict was no sur
prise either to Charlton or to bis
counsel. The Italian attitude toward
the youthful American bad been un
friendly, and bence an acquittal was
not expected. Tbe evidence of early
epilepsy, coupled with the showing
as to the treatment of bis wife, tbe
farmer California woman, however,
made the extreme penalty of life Im
prisonment unlikely,
Charlton was In better mental and
physical condition at the end than
at the beginning of the trial, and be
manifested satisfaction with the ver
dict. When be Is released Charlton ex
pects to meet Signor Servadlo, form
er Italian consul at Denver, whose
wife and family are his friends, and
to accompany Servadlo to Rome.
Thence be will go to Naples, then
alone to New York and later to Porto
Rico to start life anew.
Dally be prays tbat he may see
his father again.
