FACES MURDER CHARGE THERE

Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
Washington, Sept. 22.--The long
wait of Porter Charlton behind the
bars of a New Jersey prison for the
final word as to whether he must re-
turn to Italy, to answer for the mur-
der Of his wife at Lake Como, two
years ago, is drawing to an end, The
Supreme Court will take up Charl-
tons case during the cCming term,
| which opens Oct.1
The decision of che court will be
looked to as guide in diplomatic
intercourse.
The 23-year-old prisoner, through
his father, Judge Paul p Charlton
of Porto Rico, will not contest the
question of his guilt, but will chal-
lenge the right of the American gov
ernment to surrender him to the
Italian authorities This right is
claimed OH account of the peculiar
circumstances under which Charlton
was arrested.
Immediately after Mrs. Charlton IS
body was found in Il trunk in Lake
Como, the search Jr her luH18nd
began. He was arrested at the re-
quest of the wife's brother, Capt.
Scott Of the United States army, as
he stepped from "a steamer at Hobo
ken, N. J.
He had committed no crime in
America but confessed to having
murdered his wife, who, he said, had
refused to obey his order to be quiet
one night, as they sojourned at Lake
Como, on their wedding trip.
Italian Record Considered.
Under the treaty between the
United States and Italy, Italy has re-
peatedly declined to grant requests
of the United States that the ltal-
ians, who committed crimes in this
country, and escaped to Italy, be re-
turned here for punishment. Italy
has responded that she will punish
them.
When the Italian government re-
quested the United States to surren-
der Charlton, Secretary Knox replied
that as the United States could not
| punish him, if found guilty, he
would go free, If not surrendered,
SO he granted the request.
To prevent his removal Charlton IS
| father brought habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before the New Jersey
courts, claiming there was no au-
thority for his arrest, and challenged
| the right of the American govern
ment to turn his son over to Italian
officers. The New Jersey court held
Charlton, who appealed to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
The case took its regular place on
the docket and Charlton has re
manned in jail in New Jersey.

MODERN BROTHERHOOD
N WILL HAVE NO CARNIVAL

The local lodge of the Modern

val so near to the date that had
been selected. The brotherhood
was to have had the Great Patter-

the country. The dates having been
relinquished with this company the
Moose lodge Of Paducah has secured
them.
