PORTER CHARLTON !
 MUST GO TO ITALY

Washington, December 9.-Secretary Knox today granted the request of Italy to surrender Porter Charlton, charged with the murder of his wife at Lake Como. The Secretary holds the fact that Italy refuses to surrender her citizens to the United States for trial does not relieve this country from the obligation of the extradtion treaty to surrender to Italy fugitives from justice from that country. The question of insanity of Charlton, it Is suggested, is one for the courts and not the department to determine.
 Had Secretary Knox refrained from aot- ing upon this case for six days. Porter Charlton would have been a free man, as the statutes required final action in the case within 50 days from the date of his commitment. The secretary takes the broad ground in his opinion, holding that the mere fact that the Italian government declines to surrender its own citizens does not ab- solve the United States from full respon- sibility under the extradition treaty, and in no way acts to abrogate that treaty. The legal contention of counsel of the accused on that point and on the other point that the Italian demand for Charl- tons surrender had not been made in strict accordance with the requirements of the treaty are swept away by the Sec retary as without basis and the commit- ting magistrate proceedings are found to have been regular in all respects. A clos ing remark by the Secretary is of deep significance. carrying the plain intima- ton that Charlton's attorney may have further recourse to the courts if they are disposed to raise the question of insanity.
