THE CHARLTON CASE.

The extradition case Of Porter Charl-

cation for oxtradition has been made
from Rome what the attitude ~ our

would be a pity should any TECHNICAL
tics be permitted TO interfere with the
administration OF justice.
i The case has attracted more than
common attention. because II has
brought TO public notice the fact that,
Although there Is an extradltion treaty
between this country and Italy. yet
he latter country refuses to turn Ital-
ans who may have committed crimes

Thought. questions Of dignity. or
courtesy. should not take precedence
over Justice. Our country can well sf-
ord to grant the demand for extradl-
ion, and then try to obtain new
reaty by which Italy agrees to the
Exchange OF criminals.
We believe public opinion would APP
prove of the return TO Italy Of this
particular wife-slayer. We believe that
he courtesy would be appreciated The
xample would impress upon Italy the
necessity and justice Of a new and
quItable arrangement as to extradi-
ion. and would have more effect in
ringing about the desired result than
refusal to carry out our own view of
