THE BOTkIN EXTRADITION.
If Is Probable Thai a Strong Enough
 Case Has Not Been Made.

San Francisco, Sept. 16.-Proceed- irgs in the Botkin extradition case were resumed before Governor Budd today. The question or the status of the eXtradition papers when it came to vital question of law, was resumed, the attorneys on both sides being laden with additional evidence and extracts from court decisions to sup port their respective cases.
 Governor Budd rather indignantly questioned the right of the Delaware authorities to send such papers to this state whsn the laws of Delaware re- quire absolute proof of the guilt of an accused person before that state would permit Of eXtradition.
 Tie governor declared that there was no complaint among the papers presented and he practically said that the constitution of the United States was against the extradition of Mrs. Eotkin. Tie case then, went over for two weeks. when new papers to arrive from Delaware will be presented, though the governor said he did not see how they could change the status of the matter.
