CHIEF ISSUE is

Court Passes OH Two Minor
Points in Case OF
Charlton
HEARING is POSTPONED
Counsel for Confessed Wife
Murderer Are Putting Up
Hard Fight.

Trenton, N. j., December le.--1he
hearing before Judge Rellstab in the
United States Circuit Court in the
habeas corpus proceedings instituted
with . view TO preventing the extra
dition TO Italy Of Porter Charlton. VINO
confessed to the murder of his Amer
can wife in that country some months
ago. was postponed this evening By
mutual consent until January 0, SO far
AS the main issue is concerned Be-
fore this, however Judge Rellstab
listened to arguments on preliminary
points raised, and made two rulings
reserving his decision as to the third
point.
Tho first point involved an appiica-
ton by II. Floyd Clarke, Charlton
counsel. for elimination from the
records of the return of Snerin Kelly.
of hudson county. who has young
Charlton in custody, which gave an
sscount OF the proceedings against
CHARLTON in the recorders court of
Hobokcn. Prosecutor p. r. Garyen, OF
Hudson county, who appeared as coun-
sci for the Italian government, offered
no objection and the application was
allowed.
Next Mr. Clark wanted eIimina,
from the records letter from tho
Secretary of State of the United States
to the clerk OF Judge Rellstab's court
certifying to the application for the
eNtradition of Charlton within the forty
days required by the treaty between
the Italian and American governments.
such certifcation did not appear in the
formal return first made by the De-
partment OF state.
Judge Rcllstab ruled that the letter
was not part OF the formal return
and therefore not part OF the records
hsfore him, but he suggested that
Mr.. Garven might get the certlflcation
before him by making an application
for writsof certiorarl directing the
Department of State to make an addi-
tional return setting out that the cN
tradition application was made within
the required time.
Mr.. Garven then moved for such
writ, and his application was allowed
over the objection OF Charlton's coun-
sell
AS third preliminary move coun-
sci for young Charlton applied for
writ of certiorari directing the De-
partment of State of the United states
to produce all the diplomatic CORR
spondence between the two countries
Oh the question OF extradition.
Judge Rellstab. while withholding
an opinion on the application, init
mated a doubt as TO his authority TO
compel the production OF this cor
respondence at this stage of the pro-
ceedings.
when the case was finished Young
Charlton, who was present during the
proceedings. was taken back TO the
Hudson county jail by Sheriff Kelly.

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 15.-In yester-

fought Gen. Navarro to standstiil,
although inferior in numbers. All
told, seventy-four persons are known
to have been killed.
Navarro took no prisoners-it is
contrary to his orders-and in his
camp today there were no wounded Of
the other side. The bayonet had COM
pleted the work Of the bullet.
A horrible instance of the barbarity
of the campaign occurred after the
battle. Every man in the hamlet Of
Cerro Prieto Ozark HilD was brought
before the mayor to prove his inne-
cence of participation in the revolt
Thirty could, not do this. AS fast as
their identity became known they
were taken out and shot. They are
included in the number of dead.
Gen. Navarro places his own dead
at one captain, one lieutenant and
twelve soldiers. Twenty-seven of his
men, including two officers, were SO.
verely wounded.
Five insurrectos, who ran out of am
munition and surrendered, were bayo-
neted. One of them, who had tainted
from bullet which graZed his tenn
pie, took the bayonet thrust in the
rib and was left for dead, but during
the night ne recovered and escaped.
