Police Court, Judge samuel w. Cobb, presid-
ing was opened at o'clock at Precinct Hall.
An adjournment was taken, and Judge
Cobb, accompanied by Attorney General
Barnard and Solicitor Mitchell, repaired TO
Almy's room In the wheelock Houses.
Almy, In answering Attorney General Bar
nArds question, How do you feel this MORN
ing, Mr.. Almy, did you get any sleep, last
night 7" said:
mo; l have been in good deal Of pain all
night"
The complaint, which was OF customary
form, was signed by N. A. Frost and was read
TO Almy as he lay on his cot.
When asked to plead he hesitated and said /:
al don't know what TO do"
Turning TO Sheriff Foster, a near neighbor
OF the wardens, with whom he was well ac-
quainted, he inquired:
"What would you do, Henry7"
Foster replied al don't know, Frank"
Attorney-General Barnard then suggested
that It was always safe to plead not guilty."
and in that way his plea stands recorded.
He waived examination and was committed
TO jail without bail
II was learned from the physicians that the
pain OF which Almy complained was more
from the apples of which he so ravinously
ate, and which tempted him from his hiding
place In wardins barn Wednesday night,
than from his wounds.
Although he did not sleep, he is much
rested.
lie was shaved early and looks bright. That
he is beginning to look forward TO his night
for life In the courts was plainly evinced by
his careful consideration OF questions and re-
plies thereto in the brief preliminary trial.
TsPEoIAL TO THE EVENING woRLp.l
HANOVER, N. H., Aug. 21.--There was n
crowd around the Wheelock House again
early this morning, all anxious to assure
themselves that Christie Warden's murderer
had neither escaped nor died during the
night from the wounds he received yesterday
while holding his pursuers at bay In the
Warden barn.
They were quickly treasured, word being
sent out by Almys watchers that the
prisoner was not only safe but that his
wounds were not dangerous.
Almy will be arraigned early to-day, and
until then the crowd about the hotel will
steadily grow larger until, when he is brought
out, he will probably face bigger crowd even
than that through which he passed yesterday
afternoon after his capture.
Never before have the villagers expert
enced such excitement. The man-hunt made
the blood rush through their veins with a
tingling sensation, and for many OF them It
was more difficult to sleep last night than It
was for the wounded prisoner. guarded by
armed oficers in one OF the upper rooms OF
the WheeloCk House.
AFTER THE MAN-HUET.
little groups OF villagers gathered at the
street corners and with suppressed excite
ment told over and over the part they had
taken in the siege OF Warden's barn.
When, after exchanging volley upon volley
with the besiegers, Almy was heard Offering
TO surrender the officers broke into the barn
and found him lying on the hay, bleeding at
the head and from wound in his leg.
Almy gave up his two revolvers without q
word. Both were OF Smith & Wesson make,
six shot, A. calibre, with four-inch barrels.
He had on a belt flled with cartridges. In
his pockets were large knife, toothbrush
and some matches.
The wonder OF It all was that no one else
was hit during the siege. Bullets whistIed
close TO the heads OF the men who were guard
ing the side OF the barn opposite the men who
were using the winchester rines.
AS soon as Almy's reyolyers had been secured
the oricers called for shertn Randalls car
riage, which was driven up 10 the barn door
with the curtains down.
This made the crowd furious. There were
fully 1900 people in the Gordon which sur
rounded the barn and the prospect OF losing
the chance 10 see Almy as he was driven
