The Fracisti) took over most of the opposition newapepers. ‘The fort overlooking Rome, which has been seized by the nationalixts, was turned over to the military aft er Mussolini had been invited to be- come premier. The coup of the fascist!, who had concentrated at several points In Italy and were prepared to fight thelr way Into power, was marked with only @ few disorders. At Cremona, six fascist! were killed by police when the “black | shirts” attempted to take over the | government. One man was killed in | Rome yesterday afternoon in a con filct between the fascist! and com- munists, The casualties were very lght, considering the scope of the political | upheaval, which had every aspect of @ revolution. | A sensation was caused when it was learned that Mussolini plans to include socialists and populists in hie cabinet. Mussolini plans to reserve for him- | self the important posts of minister | of foreign affairs and minister of the interior, He may hand over these portfolios to others later, but intends to retain them temporarily. Rome today waa virtually cut off from rail communteation with the re- mainder of the country.

This in the word brought by dele- gates returning from the 1922 con- vention at New Orleani between Mra, Carleton and Rev Christler relative to their alleged tn timate friendship, and between Mre. Carleton and members of her own family dealing with her iiness and lonesomencen. Mra. Pyle’s action was taken to fn- | dicate that she does not agree with }the verdict of the coroner's jury, jwhieh decided that Mra. Carleton jehot Rev. Christler while she was ltemporartly deranged. ‘The belief of physicians that Mrs. Carleton may have coused the trag edy while under the Influence of an overdose of sleeping powders also ts discounted by Mra. Pyle. ‘The more general belief here that Mra, Carleton may have shot Rev. Christier because an earlier affection which he ts said to have held for her had grown cold, apparently was borne out by letters found in Mre Carleton's effects and from accounts lot Mrs. Carleton’s actions on the | fatal night. One of these letters was from Judge Carleton, and wag dated Los Angeles, August 2%. it Indicated that no legal divorce had been ob- tained elther by Judge Carleton or by Mra. Carleton. Margaret,” the letter read. “Margaret, 1 have been thinking = greag deal Intely that it is not fair that you should have any legal restraint upon you. You are making your own life and are entitled to your free- dom.” ‘The tetter then rehearsed the fact of thelr separation and suggested that she had no chance for happiness as his wife, and that she had me! the man who could make her happy. Judge Carleton suggested that fear of gossip perhaps restrained Mrs. Carleton from obtaining a divorce, “Don't let those things stand tn your way.” The divorce action would go un- contested, the letter said, and then: “Why not be honest with our. selves. Better that (the divorce) and the adjustment than going on this way kidding ourselves.” The’ remainder of the letter dis- cussed financial affairs, and con- tained Judge Carleton’s plan for pay- ing off certain of their financial obit gations. Rey, Christier was in Syracune, N. ¥., spending his vacation when Mra. Carleton received this letter while on the Chautauqua circuit in Tilinois, Apparently she forwarded {t to him with what comment has not been discovered. - An unsigned, undated letter pin- ned to Judge Carleton’s missive bore hand@writing declared to be that of the slain clergyman. This unsigned letter exprensed amazement at Judge Carleton's state- menta, and said: “1 want to see you clean the slate at Havre. I am going to help. Your stock Is going up there. Keep it going. “Your pluck and common sense and honesty will be recognized and respected, if time and health and God's blessing only permit.” Mrs, Christier testified on the tn- quest stand that Mrs. Carleton told her a few minutes before the tragedy in the Christler home: “You have no place in Mr. Christ ler’s life.” It was with this parthian arrow that Mrs, Carelton rose to go. Mrs. Christler did not recount the conver- gation leading up to this statement by Mra, Carleton. She did not say what reply she made Rev, Christler himself apparently made no reply, but started to enter his bedroom, Mrs. Christier turned to open the front door to usher Mrs. Carleton out. It was at this tense moment that the shots rang out, and Christler fell across the threshold of his bedroom, and Mrs, Carleton'’s body dropped tn the small hall connecting the living room with Rev, Christler’s bedroom, so that Rev, Christler’s body lay al- most at Mrs. Carleton's feet.
