from Mr. Johnson's hands Into Mrs.
Harding's hands at the latter's rest
ence, shortly before the first suicide
his package Is said to have contained
pistol. The servants in the Harding
home say they never before saw a
weapon there. It Is also said that Mr.

ence after she shot herself and ex
claimed "Oh. my God," when told that
.she was dead.

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, Juno 24 The extradi
tion of Porter Charlton to Italy to be
trlfed for the murder,.ef his wife, Mary
Scott Castle Charlton,, will be fought
by his father, ex-Judge Paul Charl
ton, of Washington, on the ground
that the young slayer is Insane and
should be confined In an asvlura in
stead of being tried for murder.
The father made this announce
uient today beford his son was ar
raigned before Recorder McGovern
m Hoboken, N. J., ou the charge of
murder. v ,
Attorned J. 'Floyd Clarke, of this
city, who has been' retained as conn
8el for young Charlton by his lather
issued a statement In which he Co
elated that the young man was suffer
ing from adolescent dementia or de
mentia praecoxv
"We shall make application for an
inquiry Into his mental condition,'
the lawyer said.
"Charlton Is a paraniac."
Captain Harrison H. Scott, brothe
of Mrs. Charlton, and the man who
caused Charlton's arrest when he
landed yesterday, will insist that his
sister's slayer be tried for his crime
and if necessary, he said today, he
will engage lawyers who will fight, to
have Charlton returned to Italy.
"Charlton Is no more insane than
I am," said Captain Scott,: who ar
rived early at Hoboken,' m order to
watch carefully all the developments
in the case.
Ex-Judge Charlton' srYived at Ho-
boken at the same Unieis-did .Cap-
"taiff "ScotfTTne father lo'ok'ed pale
and worn. He had slept scarcely
any, he declared, and showed the ef
fects of the terrible shock of his son's
arrest and confession.
In marked contrast with his fath
er's appearance was that of the boy
lsh husband who has confessed that
he beat his wife over the head with a
mallet, thrust her body into a mini;
and threw the body into Lake Como,
a crime that has shocked two conti
nents.
It became known today through
the statement of Attorney Clarke that
an alienist had already examined
Charlton and had pronounced that he
was suffering from Paranoia. Young
Charlton refused to make any state
ment this morning, saying that- his
lawyer had advised silence.
The prisoner had a refreshing sleep
last night and was bright and cheer
ful apparently as though he was
about to go out for a stroll. He had
retired soon after a dramatic and pa
thetic conference with his father and
brother, Robert J. Charlton, who hur
ried from Washington Immediately
on hearing of the arrest. -
A doorman, stationed at Charlton's
cell all night to prevent the young
man from committing suicide, as it
was feared that he might do, declared
he might as well have been miles
away, as the prisoner hardly turned
during the night.
Charlton, he said, awoke at 7:00
o'clock, when an attache went the
rounds of the prison with coffee and
rolls. The voung man got up,
yawned, stretched himself and went
back to bed, refusing food.
When the broken-hearted father
approached the prisoner this morn
ing the greeting was far more cordial
on the part of the parent. The
younger Charlton was indifferent.
EXTRADITION OF CHARLTON.
Proceedings to Take HfAi Back to

(By Cable to The TimeB)
Rome,. Italy, June 24 The foreign
office today received a request from
the authorities at Como to begin Im
mediately extradition proceedings for
the return of Porter Charlton to Italy
to be tried for the murder of his wife.
The' arrest of Chalton in America
has caused a tremendous sensation In
official circles because of the stand
taken by Ambassador Leishmann and
Consul Caughy in insisting that
Charlton was himself a victim with
his wife.'.
The Becret service declares that if
the matter had been left in the hands
of the American officials Charlton
probably would have escaped, at least
for a longer time. The Italian police,
however, by keeping close watch on
vessels was enabled to give the first
hint that he was on board the Prln
