CHARLTON AWAITS
FEDERAL ACTION
Court Holds Confessed Slayer of
Woman at Lake Como for
Extradition Process
UX0RCIDE IS REC0MMITTED
Italy May Try Man Who Placed
His Wife'S Body in Trunk.
Pleads Insanity
UxoRCIDE IS RECoMMITTED
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Porter Charl-
ton, the confessed murderer of his
wife, Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton,
was today ordered turned over to the
federal authorities in proceedings
which have been instituted for his ex-
tradition to Italy. Judge Blair of the
New Jersey supreme court declined 10
release Charlton, and issued the order
for him to be placed IN charge OF the
federal authorities.
Charlton was arrested on Ger
man liner in Hoboken on his arrival
from Italy last summer, shortly after
the body of his wife had been found
in a trunk in Lake Como, Italy. The
young man confessed having killed MS
wife and was he'll to await the action
of the italian authorities and the fed
eral government.
A hearing was had on September 81,
when Justice Blair refused to hear
testimony concerning Charlton's san
ity. Charlton's alleged irresponsible
mental condition was urged as a rea-
son why he should not be taken to
Italy for trial His counsel also argued
that italy, by enacting a law that no
italian citizen should be extradited,
had abrogated all obligations of this
country to extradite its citizens on
Italy's demand.
By his decision today Judge Blair
overruled this last contention 50 far as
the state court had to deal with it
and the whole matter, it now eppears,
will be put in the hands of the federal
authorities. A new commitment
was made out for Charlton as soon as
Judge Blair's decision was rendered
and the prisoner was ordered returned
to his cell to await the action Of the
United States government.
