CHARLTON
MAKES LAST APPEAL
Seeks to Block Demand of
Italy That He Return
for Trial

Washington, April 1S.-A final appeal
the United States by Porter Charlton, the
American youth charged with the murder
of his wife on their honeymoon at Lake
Como, Italy, on June u. 1910. in an effort
to block the demand of the Italian gov
ernment that he be returned to it's shores
for trial. There was no decision today
Charlton himself was not in court Ever
since he. arrived from Italy he has been
imprisoned in Hudson county, New Jer-
sey. The .extradition case came before
the court today on an appeal from the re-
fusal of the New Jersey court to release
him on habeas corpus proceedings after
the state department had decided to turn
him over to the Italian authorities.
Questions by the court steered the op-
position attorneys to consideration of
whether the court had the right to go be-
hind the action of former Secretary Knox
of the state department
Breach of Treaty
Attorney r. Floyd Clarke told the court
that the italian government had for 30
years interpreted the extradition treaty of
1868 to mean that it was not required TO
surrender to the United States its subjects
for trial In the United States This re-
fusal, he contended. was breach of the
treaty
Congress had the right to act in regard
to this breach. but any attempt Of the
executive to act Is an attempt to exercise
an arbitrary discretion which under our
constitution is forbidden him. declared
Mr.. Clarke. =
4 Chief Justices White suggested that the
correspondence. between the Italian gov
ernment and the state. department showed
that the Italian government expressly
stated 1T did not demand Charlton under
the treaty but upon special grounds.
Justice f1tney pointed out that the
ltaban government in subsequent let
ter did place the demand upon the treaty.
Justice Day turned to Secretary Knoxs
opinion granting the extradition to show
that the Secretary stated he acted in pur-
suance OF the treaty. THAT is the final
word' IS 1t not?' inquired the Justice
himself once Secretary of State.
Attorney Pierre p. Garven, for the
Italian government, took the position that
Charlton's attorney was seeking TO have
the court declare treaty was not in ex-
istenee, which the executive department
OF the government said was in existence
and under which 1t was acting
