ELIZABETH CITY, May 16. J. H.
Pastorfield, a well known blacksmith of
this city, 60 years old, with a wife and
five children, ordered a friend out of his
shop in Matthews street this afternoon
at 3 o'clock declaring that he was going
to kill himself, and shot himself in the
head before his friend could summon
help to restrain him from committing
the deed. Death resulted instantly.
Mr. Pastorfield had been drinking
heavily for several days, and several
times today he had made threats that
he intended to end his life. He was not
taken seriously and his threats were
disregarded. Just a few minutes before
he committed the deed he sent his
young son home after a pistol telling
him that he had sold it. The boy car
ried the pistol to his father, who con
cealed it in his shop. He called B. S.
Armstrong, liveryman next door, and
told him that he was heavily in debt and
that he was tired of living and was go
ing to shoot himself in a few minutes.
Mr. Armstrong rushed out of the shop
to summons his son and had gone only
a few steps when he heard the pistol
shot, when he returned Mr. Pastorfield
was dead.

he same time, the King s prosecutor at
'om is powerless to aid Chafltort in

ome lawyer to defend him ; when the
trial beeins.- Apparently Charlton, is
under the impression that the prosecu

ilty. ' " '(.,
To his Roman friends Charlton makei
io secret of the fact that his relatives

ill deserted him, and that unless some

ible to place before the court even the

now that ,thev nave aone more: man

Di-Diitv Porzio's defense was based
on the theory hat on the night of the
crime following a two month s de
bauch in the coursC'of yhich- Charlton
imbibed tremendous quantities of alco
hol, the defendant 'was not morally re
sponsible for his actions, . .
" In the course of long examinations
by the investigating' judge, Charlton
became convinced that so far not a sin
gle witness favorable to him has been
heard. -f This has induced a state of mel
ancholia which the prison physicians are
trying to counteract -by special treat
ment. He is allowed more freedom and
more books than Italian prisoners and
of late he has dropped into the study of
Italian, which in the course of a few
months he has mastered to the extent
of reading and writing and making him
