Youthful Husband's Father Believes He, Too, Was Murdered Sy Associated Press. WASHINGTON, June 11. That one of her former admirers may have been at the bottom of the mystery involving the finding of a trunk containing the body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton in Lake Como.

Italy, yesterday, is suspected by Paul Charlton, father-in-law of the unfortunate 'omcn. Judge Charlton asked Secretary Knox to have the State Department, through its representatives in Italy, make an investigation into the Lake Como mystery and also to try to learn the whereabouts of his son. The department has taken the matter up with the American Embassy by cable. Mr. Charlton, who is a law clerk of the Bureau of Insular Affairs in the War Department, returned late last night from Atlantic City.

Speaking of the tragedy, he said: "From the few details available, I believe that Porter, my son, is dead also. From the cheerful tone of his letter, I am Inclined to believe that someone, possibly one of her former admirers who followed to Italy, is at the bottom of the tragedy. "My son la about 20 years old, and for some time had been suffering from tuberculosis. He left Washington In December, 1908, and went to New York, where he obtained employment In the foreign department of the National City Bank. Early in 1910 he met Mrs.

Mary Scott Castle, the divorced wife of Neville Castle, an attorney of San Francisco. She was about 40 years old. "I knew nothing of her antecedents and did not even know that Porter intended to marry her until after he had done so. They were married In Wilmington, March 12, and several days later sailed from New York for Genoa. "Only last Monday I received a letter from him telling me of his plans.

His letter was full of endearing references to his wife." Mrs. Castle Wedded Young Charlton in Wilmington, Del. WILMINGTON, June 11.

Fannie Post and her husband is living. To Walter Whltsett, Captain of Po lice, Atwood said: "Lizzie Jedllcka was jealous of Mrs. Post. She thought Mrs. Post was trying to get Hugo Iloff away from her.

That may have supplied a motive. I don't know whether Hoff or Lizzie Jedllcka are guilty, but I am Dot and I am not worrying about the outcome." James Fennell, superintendent of the Armour packing plant, where Atwood has been employed the past 10 days, says he has not missed a day during; that time. Atwood was arrested at the request of the Edwardsville police. They thought It strange that he did not reply to the notification eent him Wednesday night of the death of the woman. There is no strong suspicion against him, but It is thought that when he Is brought back he will be able to throw some light on the mystery and aid In clearing It up.

Sheriff Jones will leave for Kansas City at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon to set him.

Claimed Charlton as Husband After Return to New York Dy Leased Wire From the 3few York Bureau ot the Post-Dispatch.

NEW YORK, June 11. Mrs. Castle was the woman who shot William B. Craig, a lawyer of No. 211 West Ninety-fourth street, in "Peacock Alley," at the Waldorf Astoria, Aug.

3. After the grand Jury failed to indict her, she left New York In September, but returned April 10 and went to the Hotel Woodward. There, she said, sne had married Porter Charlton, the son of Judge Paul Charlton, of the Bureau of Insular Affairs. The ceremony, she asserted, took place in Philadelphia, March 12. Charlton was Been at the hotel and he declared that his wife was not Mrs.

Neville H. Castle nor Mary Crittenden Scott Castle. "I married Miss Mary Scott, of Council Bluffs, he said. "My wife never knew Mrs. Mary Scott Castle." Mrs.

Castle then said she was going abroad, to be gone three months. She was the daughter of the late H. H. Scott, and her brother, Lieut. Harry Scott, now of the coast artillery, married a daughter of the late Admiral William T.

Sampson. She also was a niece of Mrs. 'Monroe Salisbury, a leader of society on the Pacific Coast. As Mary Scott, she was one of the best known society girls in California. She Went on the Stagre.

In 1907 she married Neville H. Castle, who was graduated from Yale in 18S4. He had practiced law in this city and then gone to San Francisco. There he lost his fortune and went to the Klondike. His wife went on the stage.

Resuming her maiden name of Mary Scott, she gave society a shock when she joined a company at the California Theater in San Francisco on Jan. 9, 1900. But the coast "400" recovered and turned out to see her. Soon after she came to this city and appeared at Proctor's in a vaudeville sketch called "In Washington's Time." While playing here in March, 1901, she mysteriously disappeared, and her friends sent out a general alarm for her. They feared she had committed suicide.

She finally returned and little was heard of her until the shooting of Craig at the Waldorf. Then It became known 'that she had been living In a handsome apartment at the Colonial Studio, 39 West Sixty-seventh street. After she shet at Craig, who wrenched the revolver from her hand as she turned It toward her own heart, she declared Mrs. Craig had asked her to watch over the lawyer, and while doing so she learned to care for him herself. She said she never meant to kill him, but when she met him in the hotel and asked him to apologize for things he had said about her he replied that "he wished she and he were dead." Then she pulled the pistol.

Craig was saved from injury by a fountain pen which turned away the bullet. When she was arraigned In New York for the shooting, Mrs. Castle testified that Craig came to her apartments night after night and told her that bhe was making a inan of him. She denied, however, that there was any impropriety between herself and raig. Monday night before the shooting in "Peacock Alley," she testified, he came to her apartments and when she repulsed him.

he used strong language that would have provoked one man to kill another. Craig at first showed a disposition to press the charge of felonious assault made against her, but later reconsidered. He finally declared he believed she was cot mentally responsible, and said he was willing that she be given her liberty If placed In the custody of a responsible person. Her brother, Lieut. Scott, came here to look after her interests, and the grand jury refused to indict her after Craig had been before them.

'Thi3 whole mlx-iip is nothing but a family row and will be straightened out in due time," Palette said. "It Is a result of jealousy. When Gardner and his associates bought the control of the St. Louis National Life, it became apparent that this company was to take over the Continental Life Assurance Co. As a result, some In the Continental Assurance Co.

became dissatisfied and instituted the receivership suits." Harry B. Gardner, through his attorney. Judge Selden P. Spencer, made a formal statement in relation to the suit Saturday, in which he says that President Walter J. Miller attempted to borrow from the company and was refused.

"All this proceeding," the statement continues, "was the attempt of Miller to obtain control of the companies. Because the treasurer and general counsel cordially co-operated with me in the attempt to safeguard the money of the company, they have been joined with me as defendants to the suit." Gardner asserts that the only large salaries paid by the companies are $500 a month to the president and $250 a month to his son, as medical director. Gardner says that although entitled to $500 a month salary he has steadfastly refused to draw a cent of it, taking only his commissions on the sale of stock, which he was entitled to as fiscal agent.

Motions were filed Saturday in Judge Withrow's and Judge McQuillin's divisions of the Circuit Court by Judge Selden P. Spencer in behalf of the Continental Fire Assurance Co. of America and the International Fire Assurance asking that the receivers appointed Friday afternoon for the two companies.

Judge Matt G. Reynolds and G. Lacy Crawford, be dismissed and that there be an immediate hearing on the application for the receiverships. Judge Reynolds is out of town and has not filed his bond. Crawford has filed a bond of $50,000 and John S.

Leahy, attorney for the petitioners, says he will at once take charge of the International company. The reasons g1vn by Judge Spencer In his motion are that the companies are solvent; that the applications were made without notice to the defendants; that the plaintiffs, with the exception of Thomas Miller, participated In a meeting June 9, at which the condition of the company was reviewed and approved, that some of the plaintiffs are in default in not having fully paid for their stock; that the judges erred in appointing receivers; that the plaintiffs represent only 8 per cent of the subscribers for stock in the companies, and that the judges were led into error in appointing the receivers without notice having been given to the companies, working damage to the companies by publicity. The receivership proceedings were filed In behalf of Walter J. Miller of Lamar, president of the two companies; Dr. Thomas F.

Miller, medical director of the Life company; C. H. Jones, cashier of the Linn County Bank, Brookfield, C. G. Lang of Kahoka.

Joseph F. Fenwick of Perryville, and C. Evans of Sedalia, Mo. All are stockholders In the two companies. Chargea Airalont Gardner.

The defendants are Harry B. Gardner, president of the new company; William H. Thompson, treasurer of the twin organizations, and Grant Gillespie, counsel for both companies. The dissatisfied stockholders allegsr in their petitions for receivers that Gardner, who controls the funds of the con-panics, violated his agreement to deposit the money In St. Louis banks by depositing of the companies' funds In banks in Alabama.

The further allegation Is made that Gardner appropriated $33,000 to his own use. CoBoplracT- la Charred. The six stockholders also allege that Gardner, Gillespie, and Thompson have entered into a conspiracy to keep control of the company's assets, and that the offices of the company In the Syndicate Trust building are unnecessarily luxurious and expensive. Judges Withrow and McQuillin appointed the temporary receivers asked for and Issued Injunctions restraining the defendants from disposing of the company funds under their control. A hearing on the Injunction issued by Judge Withrow will be had June 21.

In an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter Gardner said that it is true that he deposited $400,000 of the companies' funds in Alabama banks, and that the reason was that the stock was scld In that state. Regarding the appropriation of $53,000 to his own use. Gardner said that the companies owed him $157,000, of which $101,000 is in notes not yet due. and the balance In cash. Waste Salt Threshed Out.

General Manager Baird Palette of the St. Louis National Life Insurance Co. told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that the dissatisfied stockholders In the Continental Life and International Fire Assurance companies made a proposition to Harry B. Gardner, fiscal aent of the Utter companies, to withdraw the recerrersmp suits filed In the Cir-cut Court Friday. Tha proposition, made FrWav night.

Options Obtained on East Approach for Free Bridge Continued From Fagre One. voted additional money for the bridge. Meantime, Mayor Kreismann urged, the bridge should be completed for vehicular traffic, although both he and members of the Assembly conceded that its chief purpose was to give railroads a free entrance to the city. Delegates Turn Dona Bill.

When members of the United Free Bridge Committee introduced In the House of Delegates and the Council bills for the acquisition of land for the east railroad approach, the measures were not even permitted to go to a vote. At the same time the Assembly, with the concurrence of Mayor Kreismann and against the opposition of the 'advocates of the Free Bridge, passed a bill that attempted to commit the city to use all its funds In the construction of a wagon approach, and leave nothing for the site or building of the railroad approaches. Taking the cue from President Reber, some councilmen who have heretofore shared the Mayor's hostility to an immediate purchase or condemnation of land on the East Side, are now declaring that a site must be obtained at once. They are ready also to vote against Mayor Kreismann's bill authorizing the submission next November of an additional bond Issue. Aatnst Bond Inane Now.

Councilman Schneiderhahn told a Post-Dispatch' reporter Saturday that such a proposition would be "absurd." "We can't ask the people to give us more money when we can't tell how much we need," said Mr. Schneiderhahn. "The only way to determine what amount we shall require to build the railroad approaches is to buy the land. The difference between what we have left and what the approaches will cost Is the sum we'll have to get through another bond Issue. "Negotiations that are now In progress give us the hope that we won't have to Issue many more bonds.

For that reason I am opposed to the bill now in the House of Delegates and I know there are enough councilmen of my opinion to kill it." Councilman Schneiderhahn is one of those who have been suddenly converted to the belief that all the money now on hand ought to be used before the people are asked to give the city administration $3,500,000 more. He formerly held that the railroads and not the city should build the approaches. Apparently, no converts were made in the House of Delegates, and at Friday night's meeting the bill fixing Nov. 11 as the day of a special election to accept or reject the Mayor's proposal for additional bonds was adopted by a unanimous vote.

The Iron Mountain train which was derailed Wednesday at Tesson street and Ivory avenue, costing three lives, was "being run around a cure at a reckless and dangerous rate of speed," according to the Coroner's verdict, returned Saturday. Deputy Coroner Fath, after taking some testimony Friday, continued the inquest to summon other witnesses, but he found that none of the Injured would be able to appear for several days at least, and decided he had enough evidence to form the basis for a verdict. The verdict does not offer censure of Walter A.

Douglas, engineer of the train, further than to say that It was he who was running it. Douglas was one of those who were killed. The others were Jasper Lasater, a mail clerk, and Robert P. Sheppard, a fireman. The testimony Friday of Thomas Williams, conductor of the train, showed that Douglas had orders to run run more than 25 miles an hour at that point, but that he went round the curve at such speed that Williams was terri fied, and tried to check the train with the airbrakes, just before It leaped clear of the tracks.
