on the second floor of the villa when the
final quarrel occurred. about 10 o'clock
at night They had words. and then
they were silent for time, when the
quarrel sprang up anew. His wife was
sitting on the edge of the bed, he said.
and he became dazed and hit her with
mallet About midnight, believing she
was dead. he squeezed the body into the
trunk When asked if he experienced
any difficulty in doing this. he calmly
answered: mo: she was not q large
woman"
Then he repeated his statement about
dragging the body downstairs, and salo
he rolled it to the lake. as the trunk had
| little wheels on the bottom to make 1t
easier to move. He said he did not
work as noiselessly as possible. 50 as not

not tell who this other somnolent oecu-

walked to the end Of his cell and gazed

Nice, France, June 23.-An automobile,
occupied by a Mr.. and Mrs. Henry, Ameri-
cans. and Nine Nation, ran into a ditch
and was overturned near Castellane. in the
Department Of Basses-Alpes, to-day. Nine
Nation was killed outright and Mr. Henry
was badly injured. The latter's wife es-

He was saved by a fountain pen which he
carried and when Mrs. Castles brother.
Captain Henry H Scott, came from Ala
bama, where he was then stationed. TO help
his sister I'm her trouble Craig withdrew
his complaint on the ground that the
woman had been overwrought through
troubles she had experienced In her career
as an actress since leaving her husband In
San Francisco, and was, therefore, not re-
sponsible for her act.
Couple Had Many 0uarreIs.
Count Gugiia. the Kings procurator for
Lombardy, took up the investigation Of the
crime, and it was soon established that the
Charltons had been in the habit Of quarrel
ling frequently They had stayed for some
days at the Hotel Suisse. In Cernobbio.
and the guests had complained that they
were kept awake at night by the ouarrels.
Finally, when about o'clock one mornin 8
the woman shrieked and awoke the whole
house, the innkeeper went to their apart
ments, and. finding that the woman had
taken refuge In a cupboard to escape from
her husband ordered the two from the
house.
About that time a Russian named Con-
stantine Spolator. who was a well known
figure about the Swiss-Italian frontier. had
offered the Charltons a villa at Moltrasio,
and when they were elected from the hotel
they took up their quarters at the villa.
Spolatof was arrested at Roggiano. and
said he had been a mere acquaintance OF
the C1arltons. and that Charlton was pres
ent each time he had called at their villa.
He added that Charlton was intensely jeal-
Gus of his wife, and treated her cruelty,
but he could not tell whether IT was on
account of something that had happened
in the past or because OF some recent hap
pening.
Various reports of Charltons where
abouts were received as the investigation
went on. 1t was shown that on June he
had gone TO hotel where he and his wife
had dined couple OF times previously. and

He naturally would be expected to ex-
ert his influence to the utmost In behalf
that all the peculiar circumstances
which might be regarded as extenuating
features of the case might not be fully
brought out in the Italian courts, while
the expense OF presenting an adequate
defence there would prove heavy bur
den which neither father nor son is in
position to meet.
~, nf action in OF
this sort, involving extradition. is for
the consul Of the country making the
demand to file complaint before the
extradition magistrate. The latter OFF,
cial then issues a warrant for the formal
arrest of the prisoner and submits the
complaint and the response to the State
Department for decision. II the cause
is held to be sufficient the order for
extradition is signed by the President.
The application for extradition may be
made by either a diplomatic or con-
sular representative.
Rome, June 23.-JuSt what action the
Italian authorities will take in cOnnec-
ton with the arrest Of Porter Charlton
in Hoboken has not yet been determined.
1t is believed, however that Charlton's
extradition will be sought. An indica-
ton of the governments attitude is
found in the request which the govern
ment made few days ago to the British
authorities for the issuance of a warrant
for the arrest of Charlton, who was then
thought to be hiding in England.
Extradition in such cases Is covered
by the convention between the United
States and Italy concluded in 1868, and
and additional convention concluded in
1884. Charlton's confession gives the
matter a new aspect as the confession
of criminals had not been taken into
consideration in these conventions.
The fact, too, that Charlton's arrest
occurred in his own country may delay
action on the part of the Italian au
thorities until the views of the Amen
can authorities have been learned. What
ever the government intends to do must
be done within forty days, as article 2 of
the convention of 1884 says that If for
NAL demand for extradition is not made
within forty days from the arrest the
prisoner may be released.
