ALMY AND CHRISTIE WARDEN.
What Miss Thomas Says About a Midnight
Visit to Her Room at Pattee's House.

HANOVER. N. H., Aug. 2L-Miss Jannette
Thomas, . relative of Prof. Pattee, whose
connection with the Amy case has often
been referred to. tells O story of o midnight
visit received from the murderer July IS,
two days before the killing Of Christie
Warden. This night Miss Thomas slept in
the room usually occupied by Christie
Warden when she stayed at the house of
Prof. Pattee. She was aroused from her
sleep by q noise in the room, and at once
asked who was there. Her throat was in
stantly grasped by n hand and a
voice whispered: Keep still, Pl
not %'injure YOU" The intruder then
asked her If this was not
Christie Warden's room and where Christie
was. Miss Thomas told him Christie had
left the house in the afternoon. He de-
anded to know Miss Thomas's identity.
and then said to her: Il am the lover of
Christie w arden. Her parents and sisters
oppose my suit and 1 cannot see her at
home" He then said to her: Don't you

said he had been in the room
before, and asked if the door
was fastened. Miss Thomas knew by this
that he was lying. as the door has no fast
ening on il. He then forced an object into
her hand. which proved to be a 44.caliDre
revolver cartridge. He told her to guard
it carefully and let it always be a reminder
Of her oath, for If she ever breathed a syl-
liable of this affair he would kill her. The
intruder then departed.
Miss Thomas's story confirms a theory
that had long obtained among these inter-
ested in the case. but which has been with
held from the public. Almy was wildly
jealous of Professor Pattee, and of this jeal-
ousy the utmost cruel and unjust suspicion
was born, involving the Professor and Miss
Warden. This undoubtedly accounts for
the midnight visit to Pattee's house, where
the murderer hoped to lind Standardization
for his suspicious. and went armed with his
two revolvers, prepared TO kill both sus-
peoted persons.
The identity of Amy as George II.
Abbott was satisfactorily and finally
established this morning. The position
in which the murderer's broken leg
has forced him TO lie has prevented
scars of the buck-shot wounds received IN
his battle with the officers on the Thetford
mountain in 1850. While his cot was being
freshened up he was turned over so far on
his side as to reveal his back, whereon
were plainly revealed the unEistakable
traces of qunshot wounds.
Governor futile to-day stated that In his
opinion Mrs. Warden. mother of the muir
dered girl. who gave the information to
the officers that led to the arrest of Almy.
was entitled TO the reward of s :, 800, offered
by him In the name of the State.
