.EXTRAD|T|OV Of
CHARLTON ASKED
Italy Puts Question of Wife
Murderer's Trial Up to
the Americans.

ROME, June 27.-The foreign office
today decided to follow the provisions
of the Italian-American extradition con
ventions and to ask for the extradition
of Porter Charlton, leaving IL with the
American authorities to accept or refuse
the request
With this decision the Lake Como
murder case enters the realm of diplo-
macy, and the outcome of the exchange
between Rome and Washington will be
followed with An interest quite outside
that attaching to the murder of Mrs.
Charlton.
AS soon as it was known here that
the confessed slayer was under arrest
in the United States, the ministry of
tlon in which the italian authorities
were placed and referred the whole mat
ter to the foreign office.
Extraditlon between Italy and the
United States is provided for in the
conventions of 1868 and 1854, but Italy
has always held that these treaties did
not cover the cases of Italian citizens,
who, having committed crimes in the
United States, escaped to their native
country. In such instances the govern
ment has insisted that the accused be
tried in the courts of their country
men. Several times requests for ex-
tradition of Italian criminals from the
state department have been refused.
Nevertheless, in the present case, the
court decided to put the matter up to
Washington. Should the American
state department follow the precedent
established by this country and refuse
the exrradition of Charlton, its action
will be construed as recognition of
the equity of the Italian Interpretation
of the extradition conventions provid.
ing, of course, that the refusal is not
based on the grounds that the prisoner
is insane, or for another reason other
than that he is an American citizen.
