Oaestloa of Aaklac for
Ealradltloa.
NEW TORK. June . As In so many
other murder cases of world-wide celebrity,
the proceedings In the cat of Porter Charl
ton, confessed slayer of his wife In Italy,
today bid fair to turn largely on the ques
tion of the defendant's sanity.
It seemed probable that Charlton's fate
was to be deolded by a quartette ef alien
ists. Judgo Paul Charlton of Washington.
the prisoner's father, declares that he
proposes abiding entirely by the decision
reached by the exeprts he has retained to
examine his son and pass on his mental
condition. He believes Porter to be ment
ally unbalanced.
On the other hand, Captain Henry Har
rison Scott, the murdered woman's brother,
personally and through his attorney, Emll
Fuchs. indicates his determination to press
the charge against Charlton, bring about
his extradition to Italy, If that be possible.
and his trial for the crime. Captain Scott
insists that the youth was and Is In full
possession of his mental faculties.
The alienists engaged by Judge Charlton
are Dr. Charles L. Dana, Dr. Allan Mc
Lane Hamilton, Dr. Edward S. Fisher and
Dr. William Jerome Arlltz of Jersey City.
Next Move Problematical.
Charlton stands formally charged with
murder on complaint of Gustavo Dl Rosa,
the acting Italian consul here, and has
been committed on the statement that he
Is wanted by the Italian government The
next move will depend on that govern
ment's further action and on (he course of
the federal authorities to whom in the
natural course of events Charlton would
be turned ovur for extradition. The au
thorities of New Jersey now have him In
custody. Prosecutor Pierre Garven of
Hudson county made the following state
ment:
"The state of New Jersey now holds
Charlton merely on the complaint of the
Italian consul general as a fugitive from
Italian Justice, pending a request for his
extradition from the Italian department of
state, through the Italian minister to Secre
tary Knox. If extradition is not demanded
there Is absolutely no action the courts of
this state can take. Whether the federal
courts can still step In Is a matter outside
my province and on which the attorney gen
eral of the United States is more competent
to pass opinion."
What Italy May Do.
ROME, June 25. The ministry of Justice
today transmitted to Ue foreign 'office the
evidence In the case of Mrs. Porter Charl
ton, who was murdered at Lake Como,
leaving tho foreign office free regarding
further steps to be taken In the matter of
extradition from the United States of the
confessed slayer. Porter Charlton.
It Is believed here that the whole affair
will be disposed of through negotiations
between the Italian ambassy at Washing
ton and the American authorities.
Friends of Cady
Have Petitions
Howard County Bepublican Likely to
Come Out Soon in Bace for
, Governor.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., June -(Spe
cial.) Petitions for filing the name of A. E
Cady of St. Paul on the republican primary
ballot for the nomination for governor are
In circulation in his home county of How
ard, in this county and several other adja
cent counties and will bo circulated suffi
ciently at least to comply with the require
ments ot tho statutes.
Mr. Cady has not as yet indicated defln
ltely that ha would consent to the use of
his name, the recent fire loss of which he
was an unfortunate victim causing him to
give all of his attention to his business
affairs. However, his friends in this sec
tion of the state, where ho is best known,
are enthusiastically ot the belief that in
him they have a candidate who will not
only rank decidedly high when gauged by
the requirements of a businesslike, capable,
square deal sort of a governor, but who can
and who will unite the different elements
of the republican party In this state as no
other man, so far mentioned, will be able
to do. His ripe legislative experience, his
close interest in the public affairs of Ne
braska for tho last thirty years and
decidedly judicial and calm temperament
are urged as qualification especially deslr
able at this time.
Aa the father of tho State. Railway com
mission, which even members of the com
mission know him to be, pronounces htm
as a decidedly progressive republican along
safe and sure lines as the personification
of "progress without wreckage." Little
doubt is felt hero that Mr. Cady will accede
to tho petition to permit the use ot his
name when ho learns how strong tho de
mand Is for him in this section ot the state
and, as far as can be learned, in other
sections:
