Since,, Charlton was returned to Italy from the United States last Au gust he has' been the sole occunant of the jail here. As such, he has been allowed the most unusual privileges, such as the receivinjt of an occasional visitor, an unlimited correspondence, dally papers, maga zines and novels. During the recent riots the jail here was filled up with socialists and others who ran afoul of the police and military. That these may not be able to take advan tage of the many privileges hereto fore accorded Charlton, all his privi leges have been curtailed.
