The Story OF Pretty Christie warden'
Murder at Hanover, n. IL

HANOVER July 20-All day Sunday
scores OF men were securing the woods for
Frank Almy, the murderer OF pretty
Christie Warden. Investigation shows
that the crime was carefully planned. The
ambush and the avenue Of escape were 30
lected long before the fatal shots were
fired. The little party of women were
vending their way homeward They had
just left the town, when man glided
stsalthily into the roadway and blocked
their passage. His salutation was this:
Mrs Warden, you and Fanny may
move on with safety. shall not harm you
unless yon interfere, and II you do will
shoot you like dogs. Christie, have come
1000 miles to meet you and now our time
is short
Then he drew revolver from his breast,
which he socked.
Mrs Warden was dragged away by Miss
Goodell, who had accompanied them, leav-
ing Christie and Fanny with Almy. Chris
tie up to this time had been so overpow-
cred by fear chat she was hardly able TO
move She elnng tenaeiously to her sister,
a bright young girl of seventeen. Almy
seized Christie by the left shoulder, placed
the muzzle Of his weapon against the
breast Of her sister and said:
Il have hated you, Fan, and unless you
let so of Christie will blow you into eter-
nifty"
"shoot, then; win not let her go" she
replied.
He did not carry out his threat, but
shook Fanny off and dragged Christie into
the brush. Fanny followed close behind,
despite Almy's threats to shoot Mean
time Christie had been struggling to es.
cape, and Almy had his hands full in hold
ing her. Nearly all of her clothing was
torn off IN the struggle. Fanny's presence
evidently disconnected the murderer, for
he raised his revolver and fired point blank
at her. The bullet missed its mark and
she kept on. Again he fired and she felt q
strange sensation at her shoulder.
| Then she turned and ran toward En-
met Marshall who was running toward
her down the road Fannie led him to
ward the spot where her sister was held
| by Almy. As they approached two more
shots were fired. There was cry OF
agony from poor Christie, and all was
| over. Then Marshall saw Almy run az
the hill and disappear. Since then he has
not been seen. Christie's face was terribly
disfgnred by blows from the revolver and
| by two horrible pistol shot wounds
Almy's infatnation for the young wom
an was known to her parents and to her
| self but nobody dreamed that he would
resort to violence When he proposed
marriage, and it was learned that Christie
disliked his attentions, he was discharged
That was last March. Since then he hal
dogged her footsteps
