HANOVER. N. H.. july alone by ono the
searchers for murderer Almy are returning to
their homes and are leaving the work OF fer
reting out the assassin to the regular officers
OF tho law. The amateurs have been COM
pletely hoodwinked thus far. 30 have tho pro.
fessionnl men-hunters. too.
The utter absence OF any trace OF Almys
movements shows how carefully hs had
planned his escape. and thus far 1t has been
most successfully carried out. This man was
able to shoot down n young girl. firing
in all seven shots. and make his escape while
people who had been attracted by tho firing
were coming up. They were close upon tho
murderers heels whom he went through the
underbrush on the brow OF the hill close to
where his victim lay. yct he has succeeded In

new clue came to light to-day. A carpen-
tor named Phillips started to walk to Leba-
non at about o'clock on the evening Of the
murder. When perhaps u mile on his way

number of times that evening In Hanover vii
lnge.
Tho men in It seemed to be driving about
moro for the purpose OF using up time than
anything else. They drove into the college
park and left the team there for while. At
about that evening two men. said to answer
tho descriptions OF those seen in tho buck
board. were seen walking about the premise s

that he was able to como into town. where he

one.
He evidently came here for the sole purpose
of numbering Christie Warden and then get
ting away again in hurry. All that was pre-
arranged. There is some difference II opinion
on the matter however. There ore some who
argue that Almy sought Christie either 10 eX-
tract from hcr q promise that She would marry
him or else to subject her to such, iniignites
lions being restored.
1t seems strange that Amy should proca
himself when he could easily have killed tho
girl from ambush without exposing himself 10
recognition. The family believe that Almy
acted as he did in order TO make his revenge
tho moro complete. feeling sure in his ar-
raugeMentS Tor escape.
In Whatever light this Is viewed the case has
many mysterious features which will not DO
explained until Amy Is captured.
