The Accused Tells His StOry-His Trip to the South-Why He Took Lodgement fin the Warden Barn Midnight Visits to the House-The Fatal Shot.
 PLYMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 18.-After the remaining witnesses for the state had been examined Amy was put on the stand and told his story. He said he loved Christie with all his heart and thought if he could have had her she would lead him to bet ter life. They talked it over and she ad- vised him to get better education and recommended Hanover, but lack of funds compelled him to reach the conclusion to make short cut to professional life. Wit ness kissed Christie when they parted and she kissed him. She aroused passions in his breast, and had Mrs. Warden only spoken one pleasant word to him he would not have been here to-day. He then gave an account of his travels after leaving Hano- yer, saying he bought his revolvers in Springfield, Mass, for the purpose of taking them with him to Texas. He had shown them to several and had made no attempt to conceal them. He finally came back to Hanover for the purpose of seeing Christie alone to get her appreciation and encouragement. He did not write while he was away because he was afraid she would not get the letters. His expecta- tions were high and as he had no doubt her parents were against him, he must see Christie alone. He arrived in Hanover on the midnight train and went in to the Warden barn whence he could command a view of the kitchen and parlor. Thought he could see her when she went to the grange. About a week later he went through the house one night, look ing at the familiar places and at the ob- jects he and Christie had used together. He went four times in all. The last time he decided to open her door and speak to her. Did so, but her brother was lying on the bed. He did not stay all the time in the barn, but wandered about the fields and berry pastures, waiting nearly month to see Christie. He told of en- tering the room at MT. Pettees, supposed to be occupied by Christie, but was mortified to find it occupied by anoth CT woman. As the latter rose in bed he caught her by the throat and pushed her back. Then he told her his story and his tie was not there. Then compact was made to keep the matter of the visit secret. When he heard Christie was go- ing to grange he went to the pasture, changed his clothes and after supper went down back of Flint's house and waited for her. Soon she came along with others of the family and went to the grange. Almy then described the meeting with the Warden party as had been related by several witnesses and said in going over the bars with his arms about Christie's waist they stumbled. Then he heard noises around them and Fanny was scream ing and he fired his revolver to keep her back, not thinking to shoot her. His fall stunned him. His thought was that he must have Christie. There were sounds of voices coming nearer and Christie was lying on the ground unconscious. In some way his revolver was fired, he did not know how. Then when he saw that Christie was shot he exclaimed: "My Godl Christie is dead" He was dazed. He immediately left her and went to the revolver, then returned to the War den barn, from which he watched the men who brought the body of Christie to the house. He told of visiting Christie's grave on different occasions. He could not real ize that she was dead ,and he never thought of being captured, and the feeling that he could not leave her chained him to the To- oo1itu
