THE CARLTON MURDER.
Amero Remanded to Await the Judges

Amero Remanded to Await the Judges
Decision.
BosToN, May 1l.--A special to the Post from
Digby. ". S., says the hearing In the case OF
Rogers Amoro charged with the Carlton muir
der, closed to-day and Amero was remanded
10 Jail to await the judges decision on extradi-
tion, which will be given Wednesday II he
should be discharged, which is improbable, the
sheriff will hold him under orders of the Min
lister of Justice. The three fishermen to had
been called in substantiation OF the testimony
OF Amero's uncle, who said Amero made
partial confession which implicated Carlton,
have gone 10 sea and will not return for sever
al weeks.
The testimony OF the uncle above referred TO
was in substance that Amero said that he got
acquainted with Carlton at his saloon the week
before the murder: that he did choresfior him
for three or four days, and that he went to
Cartons house at Watertown to do an odd
job. Carlton, he said, did not live happily or
agree with his wife, and while he was there
Carlton told him he wished his wife was dead
and that some ono would kiln her, but Amero
denied that he did the killing. The story,
quite dramatically and quantity told by the
rough French Canadian, was interrupted by
emphatic denials from the prisoner, the whole
scene being decidedly sensational and impress
sive
Last witness on the stand was J. b. Thomp-
son, brother of the prisoner. His testimony
potency was raised. He had testified that at
the request OF hi brother he came TO Cinoin-
natti and investigated the story and became
satisfied Of tho guilty conduct of Davis and
Mrs. Thompson and when his brother returned
from Washington in April told him OF IL. The
prosecution undertook to inquire OF witness
how he became satisfied OF the orminality of
Davis. Defence objected to this kind of in
qniry.

Gen. Chaniberlain's Condition.


The Brunswick Telegraph says it received the
following information Thursday from a thor
oughly trustworthy source:
"The reports about the rapid recovery OF
ing. This is not strange, as nobody hitherto
cal attendants and members of his family,
who are naturally reticent. The fact now ap-
pears that he is still much prostrated In
truth. the surgical operation may be said to be
still going on Things promised very well at first
and the main points OF the case were apparent
ly secured. About ten days since, he was oblig-
ed TO submit TO a second operation, quite as Sc
we're in its measures as the first, and as this
has not been entirely successful, various means
are now being successfully employed to induce
perfect healing. Upon the whole il Is safe to
say he is now convalescent, though still requir
ing constant care, and for the most part, prs-
oner to is bed.
His surgeons express the belief that with
the means now employed, with the aid perhaps
OF another operation, after he has fully recoy
cred from this, the General will be in better
health than he has ever been for the eighteen
years since the wound was received. 1t Is
thought that he may be able to travel in about
two weeks, swhen he will at once return to
Brunswick.
All that the best skill can do has been en-
ployed in this case, and the success which is
now anticipated, will be a triumph for modern
surgery, as we'll rs for his surgeon. DR.. j. H.
Warren, has shown the most assiduous
and even affectionafe attention, scarcely leay-
ing the Generals bedside day or night, in the
critical periods of the case"

above the post office, they scok their stand,
formed lines to the river. passing buckets and
