ITALY WILL ASK RETURN
OF YOUNG WIFE SLAYER
Foreign State Department Will
Make a Test Case

ROME, June 27.-The foreign office
today decided to follow the provisions
of the Italian-American extradition
conventions and to ask for the extra
dition of Porter Charlton, leaving it
with the American authorities to ac-
cept or refuse the request.
Extradition between italy and the
United States is provided for in the
conventions of 1868 and 1884, but italy
always has held that this treaty did
not cover the cases of Italians who,
having committed crimes in the United
States, escaped to their native coun-
try. In such instances the govern
ment has asked that the accused be
tried in the courts of their country
men. Several times requests for ex-
tradition of italian criminals from the
American state department have been
refused.
Nevertheless. in the present case the
court decided to put the matter up to
Washington.
Should the American state depart
ment follow the precedent established
by this country and refuse the extra
dition of Charlton, its action will be
construed as a recognition of the
equity of the italian Interpretation of
the extradition conventions, providing,
of course, that the refusal Is not based
on the grounds that the prisoner is
insane or for reasons other than that
he is an American citizen.
