confessed murderer of hl3 wife, Mary
Scott Castle Charlton, whoso hody
was found In a trunk fished up from
the bottom or Lake Como, Italy, or

Charlton was arrested on the North
German Lloyd pier in Ilolioken just
after he had landed from the Prinzess
Irene on which he had taken passage
at Genoa, on June 9, tho day the
trunk was brought up from the bot
tom of the lake by fltdiermen. Shak

for his baggage to be examined on

fight to conceal his Identity from
Captain Henry Harrison Scott, the
brother of the murdered woman who
had come from his station at Fort

of running down the slayer of his

Captain Scott was armed with a
de-tcriptlon of Charlton and with a
ramplo ol his handwriting and in the
face of these the boy he is only 21
years old finally broke down and
confessed to the murder in the office

said that he had not and then this

THREE KILLED IN FIRE
Intoxicated Man Starts Blaze With
Fatal Results.
The Seneca Falls hotel, an old land
mark at Seneca Falls, N. Y.,
was destroyed by fire three of
tho twenty-five guests losing their
lives. The fact that the lire was dis
covered before it had maintained
headway and the giving of an alarm
by a fusilade of revolver shots that
promptly awakened the guests alone
prevented great loss of life.
The dead are: Mr. end Mrs. Edward
WKite of Rochester and an unidenti
fied man from Cayuga, N. Y. The lat
ter Is supposed to have caused the
fire. He entered the hotel late at
night Intoxicated and unable to reg
ister. He was assigned to a room In
the basement and here at 3:40 the
fre w-as discovered. Rescuers could
not reach him and the fire raced
through tho building so rapidly that
ull of the occupantB had to take to
lire escapes.
White was overcome by smoke be
lore he could leave the room and the
woman evidently tried to assist him,
drugging tho body a short distance,
then she gave up and succeeded In
reaching the street only to lose herself
in u side hall where she was overcome
and was found dead by firemen.
The total loss is estimated at $115,
000. The guests lost all of their
clothing and baggage.
