SETBACK FOR CHARLTON
Insanity Arguments Fail to lnflu-
ence Judge Blair.
ALIENISTS LEAVE COURT
Efforts TO Have Wife Slayer Held
in Sanatorium Are
Futile.

Porter Charlton. the self-confessed slayer
of hts wife. Mary Scott Castle Charlton. at
Lake Como, italy, last spring. twenty
two years old Yesterday For several hours
he sat in the Criminal Court room Of the
new Hudson County Court House. in Jersey
City, while HIS attorneys, r Floyd Clark
and William D. Edwards. fought in vain
for his release
Relying mainly on technical arguments
and an insanity plea, counsel labored 70
convince Judge Blair that he should dis
charge their client and permit him to he
placed in sanstorium in Washington.
Practically all the satisfaction they got,
however. was the permission 10 hand IN a
brief Judge Blair was not swsyed by their
arguments nor would he admit that in
sanity was valid reason why he should
decide that Porter Charlton should not be
sent back 70 Italy to stand trial for hts
crime.
Shortly before the cIoae Of the hearing
Mr. Edwards called Paul Charlton, father
of the prisoner 10 the stand When Prose
c1itor Garven objected TO his tsstifytng the
attorney said:
I'VE offer to prove by Paul Charlton and
others, including alienists. that at the time
Of the commission of the crime this de-
fendant was Of unsound mind and that he
did not have tho mental ability 10 discrim-
mate between right and wrong
'It is evident said Mr.. Garven that
counsel has admitted the commission Of
crime. This court cannot go into this de-
fence. It is inadmissible TO put in proof
Of insanity"
Prosecutor GRrvtu maintained that the
dossisr was not worthless. as counsel for
the defendant asserted, and Judge Blair
allowed It to go into evidence. Mr.. Clark
called attention to the dispute between
Italy and the United States in the matter
of the extradition of subjects and declared
shat his client was the victim of an at
tempt 10 get sxtraditiOn without comply
ing with the conditions OF the treaty.
Counsel answered the prosecutions con-
tention that the present case was pro-
ceeding under the extraditiOn act by say
ing that the act had no bearing on the
matter He insisted that q treaty repealed
q statute. and Mr.. Garven retorted that
argument on the treaty was a matter for
the Secretary OF State 70 decide anyway.
In mis- final argument Mr. Clark said that

There were two partners II the BOnwit

friends for the first time in four yesrs
He smoke At the Chemung County fair
grounds in the afternoon to q large audi
ence. After relating many "reminiscences
of his career. which began in ElniTsv he
dwelt at some length on the dangers that
confront the country, and replied TO the
suggestions made by Governor Hughes In
his Syracuse speech. In part, Ex-Governor
Hill said
With all due respect TO Governor Hughes,
for whom ] have much respect and with
whom my relations have been most pleas
ant, I beg to differ with him as 10 the
pIopriety or advisab bility of changing the
state constitution by enargiug the term or
the governorshtp from two TO four years
and by providing that other state oTnciaIs
now elective be appointed heads of depart
ments by the Governor.
Changes in the constitution should not
be made for light or trivial reasons IN
1894 the constitutional convention. with the
approval OF a popular vote. reduced the
term from three TO two years. ana thefe
is no necessity for a return To longer
period.
The other suggestion. he said, concentrates
too much power in the executive and lessons
the importance Of other state offices No
adequate reason, in his opinion, had been
suggested for creating practically one
man power for the government of the
state The change is undemocratic and un-
republican.
During his own long term as Cover
nor. Mr.. I'm said, he never saw anything
that led him to believe that the interests
of the state would be promoted by max
ing these offices appointive. Let US re-
member" he said, that all change is not
reform"
He commended Governor Hughes for
making many excellent suggestions in MS
messages particularly those in favor Of
the better regulation OF official primaries,
but his present recommendation at this
late day and on the eve of his retire
rnent," said he does not seem TO have
been considered with his usual clrcum-
spection"
