THE EXTRACTION WRIT DENIED
MRS. BoTKIN MAY NEVER BE
TRIED.
California Court Ruling In Celebrat-
ed Case-She Is Not a Fugitive
From Justice-Law Defective

San Francisco, Oct. 24.-Mrs. Cor
della Botkin viii not be extradited to
the state of Delaware. If she is to be
tried FOR the murder of Mrs. John P.
Dunning. the trial will take place in
this state.
Such was the conclusion reached by
Superior Judges Cook, Wallace, Sea-
well, Trout and Borden upon the writ
of habeas corpus sued for by Mrs.
Botkin's attorneys. The decision was
rendered today.
There yet remains the question
whether or not Mrs. Botkin can
legally be held for trial here, under
section q of the penal code, which
gives, among persons liable to punish
ment under the laws of this state, all
persons who commit in whole or in
part, any crime within this state"
Upon the construction of this sec
ton Judge Carroll Cook alone will hear
argument. So no final order was made
on the writ today. Judge Cook
merely ordering d continuance until
Saturday.
With regard to the section named,
upon his honor's decision will rest Mrs
Botkin's fate so far as a trial here is
concerned.
The five judges, in holding that Mrs.
BotlIin cannot under the law be eX-
tradited, simply decide that the legis-
lature has unfortunately omitted to
provide for such cases as that of Mrs.
Botkin's. Under the law as it now
stands she is not fugitive from JUS
tice, Mrs. Botkin having never set
foot in the state of Delaware nor is
there any way by which she can be
extradited. The judges say this error
can be rectified by an act of congress.
but until this is done the law must
be held to be defective in this respect.
All parties interested were in court
when the decision was given.
The opinion of the court was written
by Judge Carroll Cook and concurred
in by all his associates Judge Cook
read the decision, which covered Is
pages of typewriter matter.
