WITHOUT ARGUMENT
A HEARING GRANTED IN THE CASE
or FRANK ALMY.

The Slayer of Christie Warden Once
More Brought Into Court at Plymouth.
Speculation as to the New Move.
PLYMOUTH, N. H., May AT 2 o'clock
yesterday Almy was brought into the
court room, where a hearing on his petit
tion was to be heard He appeared CON
siderably thinner in the face than he did
when in the court last November. A din
ner was brought to him. He ate quite
sparingIy and during the time of dinner
appeared quite solemn.
The audience consisted mostly of men
but there were a large number of ladies
who were given seats on the south side of
the room Almy, as he was seated, would
at times seem to fill up. His lips would
culver, and it looked as though he would
burst out into crying. He was the cyno-
sure of all eyes.
At 24O Sheriff Brigham came into the
court room and said; Gentlemen, there
will be no court this afternoon. Let the
room be cleared" the audience then dis
persed
Counsel for Almy say that, as a result
of conference last evening, the court
will grant a hearing without argument.
Under this arrangement the court opened
at o'clock this morning, and the present
alton of testimony began Immediately
This plan has been adopted it is under
stood, for the reason of saving time and
reaching a conclusion as soon as possible
The session will not, be long one, and
some predict chat it's likely to terminate
tonight. ~.
The general belief on the part of the
public is that the defense cannot possibly
introduce any new evidence that will
change the opinion of the court on the
question of Almy's guilt, and that the
only results that will be reached will be
the sentencing of the prisoner in a manner
that no question can be raised as to its
legality and the fixing of the time OF
Almy's execution year hence.
Dr. Draper of Boston has been called as
an expert witness in gun-shot wounds, by
mutual agreement ON the part of the
state and of the counsel for Almy. DR..
Childs of New Hampton, who testified
for the defense at the trial, will appear
again as witness There is no question
but the main argument TO be presented by |
the counsel for the defense will be based |
upon The character of the wounds received |
by Christie Warden and the manner in
which they were given. Although the
question of the sanity of the respond
ent was not mentioned in the pc
tition for rehearing, yet the de-
fense say that it is no proof that the ques-
tion of Almy's sanity will not be brought
np, and that possibly other questions
bearing upon his guilt may be introduced
If the petition for arehearing is granted.
Almy will not be called upon to plead
'galn. At the close of the hearing the
court will state whether the respondent is
guilty of murder in the first Or second de-
gree, and will sentence him accordingly.
Counsel for Almy say that they have very
important new evidence to produce, and
which, they think, will throw "a very diff
erent light on some of the material facts
with the crime and the degree
If murder Of which the respondent should
,e found guilty.

Of the northern sections, and there are
reports of injury to fruit in eastern Maine
in the Housatonic and Connecticut val
leys, and in the most exposed places in
eastern Connecticut. The dry, cool air
has served to retard the growth of the
buds and leaves in all but the most favor
able places, and in view of the frost has
thus been a benefit to the fruit trees.
In Massachusetts, in the upper Connecti-
cut valley, and in the Housatonic valley,
the season is two weeks late. But in north
eastern Massachusetts it is ahead of the
average; most of the sowing has been
done and potatoes and peas planted, and
in some places are coming up
In the two southern states the farm
work has been pushed with the favorable
weather, and is generally well advanced.
In the central Connecticut valley the sea
son is considerably ahead of the average;
tobacco is up in few instances, and in
others is sown, while corn ground is fast
being prepared.
