COMO, ITALY. Aug. 30.—The
•Inown'fi Procurator* ha* completed
hia work of collecting evidence
against Porter Charlton, the young
American wife murderer, and Ik ready
to go to trial immediately upon Charl
ton’s arrival here.
The examining magistrate, or the
.indge of Instruction, as he is known
here, to-day completeed ids investi
gation of the life Charlton led here
while he and hie wife were <>n their
honeymoon at Ivake Como
It was found that Mr. and Mrs.
Charlton were together practically all
the time, and re.Hidente of pavilions
at Menaggio, Maltraeco and other pic
turesque village* on the lake regard
ed them as an ideal couple, despite
the fact that Mrs. Charlton was near,
ly twenty years older than her hus
band
According to word received here,
(■^harlton wan converted by the chap
lain on the liner Re D’ltalia and is
thinking seriously of becoming a mis-
arionary if he is acquitted.
Judge Charlton, father of the pris
oner. is believed to have mapped out
a line of defense. It probably will
hinge on tlie contention that Charl
ton way irresponsible at the time the
murder was committed.
In Charlton's confession, a copy of
which has been undei the scrutiny of
the Crown’s Procurator* for some
weeks, Charlton declared that he had
been goaded to^a frenzy by the con
versation and actions of his wife. He'
' barged that his w ife was a woman of
degraded mind and that her conver
sation was replete with inde< endea
which he could not bear to hear.

New York Beauty Declares She
Has Had Lifelong Desire to
Make Such Sacrifice.
NEW YORK. Aug. 30.—Actuated by
a lifelong desire to give herself, her
brain and body, her education and
talents to the service of God, Miss
Norn McCall, young and beautiful,
will renounce the world and ^ocietv
on September 8 and enter the Sacred
Heart Convent. Tn three months* she
will become a novice, then a nun for
seven years, and she will then take
the vows* which will shut her off for
ever from the outside world.
\figs McCall is one of the nios
popular membt^s of New York so
ciety. and is a niece of Public Serv
ice Commissioner McCall. Until she
enters the convent at Kenwood, near
Albany, she will be the center of
gayety and many fetes will be given
in her liono**.
Tn an interview in which she ex
plained why she will become a nun.
Mis* McCall likens the sacrifice of
friends and happiness she will lie
compelled to make to the sacrifice of
a soldier who gives up hi* loved ones
to fight for the honor of Ills country.
“We must sacrifice ourselves for
a principle,” Miss McCall said, “the
soldier sacrifices his home, his loved
ones, everything that is dear, for a
principle—for the honor of hi* coun
try. The same reason stands him
in good stead when death comes, and
he smile* and/ passes on gladly, giv
ing his life to service.
“My sacrifice will be to give up the
things 1 have always done, my friends,
the gayety and charm of society; to
give up dancing, singing and playing,
which as a girl 1 love.
“I have been loved all my life. I
have been shown every luxury and
have been showered with attentions
and blessings. Yet through it all I
had a feelirg that it was not right—
I had an indescribable desire to give
myself to God while I was young and
fresh, keen and warm-blooded. God
i ri<*es not want the useless husks—
j people who have known pleasure and
j life and turn to Him merel) because
i thti> seek a now diversion. Ht wants
youth and talent, fresh, young peo
ple wlie will give their lives to him
Lhrvugg love of service.’
