General Barnard and Solicitor Mitchell, ac-
companied by citizens, went to Almy's
room in the Wheelock House this morn
ing to conduct the preliminary examin-
alton OF the murderer. Almy, in reply to At
torney General Barnard's questions as to how
he felt. said that he had not any sleep and had
been in pain all night The complaint of mur-
der, which was in 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:
Il don't know what to do"
Turning to Sheriff Foster. a near neighbor Of
the warden's, with whom he was well ac-
9uainted, he inquired, 'What would you do,
Henry"
Foster replied, Il don't know. Frank"
Attorney General Barnard then suggested
that 1t was always safe to plead mot guilty."
and in that way his plea stands recorded. He
waived examination and was committed with
out bail.
1t was learned from the physicians that the
pain OF which Almy complained was more from
the apples which he had SO ravenously eaten
and which tempted him from his hiding place
In Warden's house on Wednesday night than
from his wounds. Though he did mot sleep. he
was apparently much rested, and he looked

clipping from New York morning newspaper,
in which appeared certain alleged statements
of Mr.. Blaine regarding the presidency. There

whatever. Why. it says that somebody al
leges that somebody told somebody else. and SO
on. 1t is just simply Dick told Tom that Harry
told friend that the old gray goose was

'Then you haven't seen Mr.. Alger?"
why, no; I haven't seen him for long

would run for the presidency2''

ton with newspapefman yesterday morning
Gen. Alger remarked on the handsome recep-

had been here how the people would
have crowded to hear him, 10 exclaimed the
general "It is wonderful what powerful at
traction his name has. President Harrison
always makes good speeches. He made two
yesterday. His admirable judgment in his
public utterances makes him a strong candidate.
His speeches in the last campaign undoubt-
edly contributed to his election. But he was
an excellent candidate anyway. doubt if the
party could have named better one. 1 think
he was possibly stronger than Blaine then"
"And now?''
''Mr Blaine has the country at his back and
can have anything he wants"

patch from New York states that Mr.. Blaine
has told you he had entered the field as Q can

do you think he will be in the feld?''
II had a conversation with MIR. Blaine on the
subject before he was sick. but he said nothing
to indicate that such was his intention"
Gen. A. Webb suggested in a joking way that
it might be a good thing for the republican
party If its next ticket reversed the two Letters
Of the alphabet, making it Blaine and Aiger"
Gen. Alger's reply was: keep at the other
end of the alphabet and continue to talk of the
beauties of Vermont"
When somewhat later, the reporter remarked
on the obvious strength Of such ticket Gen.
Ager said: "It is very kind Of you to say SO,
am sure, but it is matter to which have
never given q thought"
