Much Surprise Is Felt
In Official Circles

Great surprise IS expressed in official
circles here today at the action Of Sec
rotary Knox IN ordering Porter CharI-
ton who has confessed TO the murder
OF his wife at Lake Como, Italy, turned
over to the Italian authorities for ex-
tradition TO Italy to face trial
Il had been expected that Secretary
Knox would refuse 20 grant the request
for CharIton-s extraditiozs- even though
= had been honored by the magistrate
at Hoboken, y. 7. This expectation
prevalent among officials OF the State
Department. was based on the repeated
refusals Of Italy to surrender Italian
citizens who had fed to their native
land to escape arrest in the United
States.
Precedent Established.
Thus a precedent IS established by the
opinion OF Secretary Knox. in which he
rules that Charlton should be surrender
ed The Secretary holds that by the
terms Of the extraJitiCu treaty the
United States is obligated to surrender
Americans, regardless Of Italy's refusal
TO rec3prOcate under ike circumstances
The point raised by Italian officials,
upon which they deny extraditiCn Of na-
live sons who seek Italy as an asylum
IS in the Interpretation OF the word

clifton treaty that persons resident IN
one country, and sought as fugitives
from justice by the other nation, shall
