Mr. Bayard to Mr. Stallo. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, SIR: You are instructed to request of the Italian Government, in pursuance of existing treaty stipulations between the two countries, the extradition of Salvatore Paladini, under indictment in the United States court for the district of New Jersey on the charge of knowingly passing counterfeit money of the United States, who is now believed to be within the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Italy. The President's warrant to receive the fugitive has been issued to Cono Casale of Newark, N. J., one of the court constables. I am, etc., No. 715. T. F. BAYARD. No. 223.] Mr. Stallo to Mr. Bayard. | Extract.] LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, Rome, August 4, 1888. (Received August 18.) SIR: I have the honor herewith to transmit copies of the correspondence between this legation and the Italian foreign office in relation to the extradition of Salvatore Paladini, a fugitive from justice, who is under indictment in the United States court for the district of New Jersey on the charge of passing counterfeit money of the United States. This correspondence will become intelligible upon a brief review of the following facts: I was instructed to demand the extradition of said Paladini by your letter No. 93, of April 26, 1888, which informed me that the President's warrant to receive the fugitive had been issued to one Cono Casale. Casale presented himself at the office of this legation on the 17th day of May, 1888, bringing with him the papers relating to the case, including the warrant for the arrest of Paladini; and I at once, on the same day, dictated the letter to the foreign office which is herein marked inclosure No. 1, inclosing the papers and demanding the extradition of Paladini. It being obviously important to secure the arrest of the fugitive without delay, I delivered the letter with its inclosures to Mr. Crispi on the afternoon of that day in person, and called his attention to the urgency of the matter, and to the danger that Paladini might be informed of the presence of Casale in Italy, and of the measures about to be taken for his arrest. Mr. Crispi opened the letter, requested me to translate it for him, which I did, and then observed that the matter would have to be referred to the ministry of grace and justice, but that he would send it there at once, and that measures for the arrest of the fugitive would be taken forthwith. Although the name of Salvatore Paladini must have suggested to him that the fugitive was an Italian, Mr. Crispi asked me no questions as to Paladini's citizenship. Before I left I informed Mr. Crispi that Paladini was supposed to be in Sicily, and that Mr. Cono Casale was at the service of the Italian authorities for the purpose of aiding in his discovery and identification. Five days elapsed after this interview, and I had no communication from the foreign office in regard to the matter. Casale, meanwhile, was at the office of the legation every day, and became very impatient; so I proceeded to the foreign office, in order to inquire what had been done. When I arrived there I found that Mr. Crispi was then, and for several days had been, confined to his house with illness; but I was assured by one of his secretaries that the papers had long since been sent to the ministry of grace and justice, and that the ministry of foreign affairs was in momentary expectation of the report. Nearly another week elapsed; and Crispi having meanwhile been taken to Castelamare by reason of his illness, I requested Mr. Dougherty, the secretary of legation, to inquire at the foreign office as to the state of the matter. The information given him by one of the under secretaries was that Mr. Casale had been there in person the day before; that they were fully aware of the urgency of the matter; and that I would hear from them very soon. Accordingly, on the second or third day thereafter, to wit, on the 2d day of June, 1888, I received a letter (marked inclosure 2), in which I was informed that my application for the extradition of Paladini had been communicated to the ministry of grace and justice "without the least delay," but that it was important to know of what country Paladini was a native, what was his paternity, and what was his citizenship. It will be observed that this inquiry was addressed to me for the first time when nearly two weeks had elapsed since the date of my application. I answered this note immediately (inclosure No. 3), informing the ministry that Paladini was a Sicilian and an Italian subject, a native of Messina, in Sicily, and was then supposed to be at that place, adding, again, that Mr. Cono Casale, the agent appointed by the United States Government, knew him personally, and, as I had informed Mr. Crispi, was at the disposition of the Italian authorities for the purpose of identifying and arresting the fugitive. To this note no reply was made for more than three weeks, during all of which time Mr. Crispi was prevented, first by illness and then by his occupation in the Chamber of Deputies, from receiving the foreign ministers. In the interval Casale had become so impatient that he had proceeded first to Naples, and then to Messina, in order to be near or on the spot whenever the attempt should be made to effect Paladini's arrest. On the 25th of June I addressed a note (inclosure 4) to the Italian foreign office, to which I received the reply marked inclosure 5 on the 2d of July, 1888. Seven days thereafter, on the 9th of July, the foreign office sent me a further note (inclosure 6) dated July 7, 1888, in which I was informed that the royal prefecture in Messina, by order of the ministry of the interior, had attempted to trace up and secure Paladini at Messina without success, and that the fugitive was believed to have |
