Had Led Notable Political Career from the Time
of His Graduation from Law School at Age
of 25 Until Elevation to Bench in 1904
Announcement of the death of Supreme Court Justice
John P. Elkin, of this place, in Philadelphia Sunday
night was a complete shock to his friends and neighbors
here. Identified as he was with tlie industrial and educa
tional development of the county for the last 20 years,
and interested in many of the local industries, he was fam
iliarly known to the masses and was always considered
their friend. He had a genial disposition and a fund of
Irish wit that never failed him. One of the joys of his
life was exchanging greetings and stories with his boyhood
friends from the northern section of llie county. He was
a warm friend of education and from his young manhood,
when he taught district school in the Malionings, until the
time of his death, he did all in his power to further the in
terests of the public and normal schools of the state. He
had been a member of the board of trustees of the Indiana
Normal for a number of years.
The financial interests of
the county were close to him
and as president of the Farm
ers' bank of Indiana and
later as a director of the in
stitution he was prominently
identified with the growth
and management of local
financial affairs.

her husband at the time of
his recent operation, had re
turned to the Elkin home
here, NS the condition of Mr.
Elkin had been very encou

ning and reached there that
night. Mrs. William Arm
strong, the oldest daughter,
was with her father at the
time of his death, but Miss
Laura Elkin, the youngest
daughter, and Stanley Elkin,
the only son, reached the
hospital a short time after
Mr. Elkin's demise. Besides
his widow, Mrs. Adda Proth
ero Elkin, and the children

JOMU, Italy, Oct. 6.—Porter
Charlton is under a doctor's care to
day, on the eve of his trial for the
"honeymoon murder" of his wife,
Mary Scott Charlton, in their villa
on the shore of Lake Como. The
news that his chief council, Catapana,
had suddenly withdraw from the
case was a severe shock to the young
American. His nervous condition
is such that physicians have not per
mitted his remaining lawyer, Cat
taneo, to visit his cell.
Legal experts give Charlton two
chances out of three for acquittal,
on the grounds that he was insane
when he slew his wife with a mallet.
