is SHE A FUGITIVE?
Attorneys Still Arguing the Case of
Mrs. BOtLin in California Su-
preme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1S.-Argument
against the proposed eXtradition of Mrs.
Cerdelia Botkin occupied the attention of
five superior judges in banc to-day. Judges
Wallace, Seawell Trout, Cook and Bor-
den were asked so to construe the statute
as to declare that Mrs. Botkin, having
never visited the state of Delaware in per-
son, could not be considered fugitive from
justice from that state. and that, although
accused of crime which had its result in
Delaware, the authorities of that state had
no authority to demand her extradition
there for trial.
The proceedings amounted to little more
than reiteration of the pleading before Gov
ernor Budd. The judges took the matter
under advisement this afternoon, and will
render their decision on Saturday. Should
extradition be refused. the accused woman
will be tried before judge and jury in
this city.
