HOUSE,.

The journal was read in its abridged
form as usual, but Mr.. Kilgore, dem.
of Texas, demanded that it be read in
full and the Speaker directed the
clerk to comply with the demand.
Mr.. Kilgore WAS afraid that the com
mittee on rules would report special
order for the consideration of the bank
ruptcy bill, but he evidently received
private intelligence that this would not
be done, for in few moments he with
drew his demand, remarking that he
did not wish to interfere with appro-
priation bills if the House desired to
consider them, as it did not seem to do
yesterday.
The committee on rules reported
back the resolution for the appointment
of a commission to inquire into the stat
us of laws establishing executive de-
partments and bureaus in Washington
city. The resolution has already been
incorporated in the legislative bill, with
modification making the compost
ton of the commission three Senators
and five Representatives. The resolu-
ton was adopted.
The bill establishing Court of APP
peals for the District of Columbia was
sent to conference.
The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill was reported.
The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of the sundry civil aGpropria-
ton bill.
The consideration of the sundry
Civil bill is tedious and but little pro-
gress is being made. The chances,
however. are that it will pass the
House at to=day's session,

Story Of he Crime.

story Of the Crime.
Andrew III. Warden was a prosperous
farmer living ne ar Hanover, ". H., the 10
cation of Dartmouth college. His family
was noted for its intelligence. His
daughters ranked high as scholars
Christie, "A girl of about 70, was especially
noted, and was a beautiful specimen of the
blonde type. Frank C. Amy was a mys.
terry. He appeared suddenly in the neigh,
borhood and worked for Mr.. Warden dur
ing the winter. He was a man of refine
ment and good education, but had a VIC

WINGED that Amy wa not his true name
Early in the season Of 1891 he was dis
charged after he had in vain implored
Christie to marry him, and threatened her
with death If she refused. His threat was
speedily fulfilled.
The narrative of the TRACED v, as related
by Fannie, Chris ties sister, is in substanc.
that her mother and n friend, Miss Goodell
went out in the afternoon or July ~, 1891,
to make some calls, having arranged with
Fannie and Christie to meet them in the

Some one had blundered and blundered
frightfully.
In an instant all was confusion, a
dozen or more of the spectators rushed
towards the gallows with the evident
intention Of cutting the rope, but they
were checked by the stern commands of
The warden and sheriff.
Frightful struggles.
Almy's struggles were ~frightful. He
writhed and twisted in the neshes Of the
ropes that bound him and the moisture
from his foaming lips wet the death
mask until it sagged.
For a minute the sheriff and his assis-
tant stood irresolute 81 en- they .risp d
the rope and Almy's twitching body was
hauled off the floor.
Slowly stangIed.
Then il dangled wildly in the air but
gradually grew limp as strangu!ation
Sc zed its victim. The torture was ter
rible. Strong men became 'aint and
tried to shut the awful sight from their
eres.
Several tainted, and when at 1890
o'clock the physicians pronounced the
man dead there was a general rush for tie
open air. Five minut. s after the witnesses
had sought the open air the body was
cut down and taken into n unused room
where the autopsy was C niucted.
Result of the Autopsy.
The report is as follows: "At a post
norton examination. thirty minutes
after death, by the undersigned physl-
clans it was found that death came in
simultaneously with the drop by reason OF
di,location or fracture of spine at the
second and third curvical vertebr8.

Notwithstanding this the face showed
traces OF the contortions through which
the body passed, and no one who saw
the tragedy believes insensibility to have
been instantaneous as the Doctors report
indicates. A pl lin coffin has been pro-
vided aud the body will be buried some
where ia this vicinity tonight.

His Trial and Conviction.


On Aug. 81 Amy pleaded not guilty.
waived examination and was committed
to Jail without bail.
On Monday, Nov. l6, 1891, at Plymouth,
N. H., Almy pleaded 'guilty" to the in
dictment charging him with the murder
of Christie Warden. He retracted the plea
of mot guilty" made at the time Of his
arraignment at Woodville, and by so doing
placed his case in the hands of the judges
instead of the hands Of a Jury.
On Nov. 10 he was sentenced to die on
the first Tuesday in December, 1892. Ills
counsels, arguments had no weight against
the cold aud matter-of-fact construction
by the district attorney. The prisoner was
not at all cast down by the result OF the
verdict.
On July I2, 1892, the case was taken up
I'm the supreme court, full bench, and ar
gued upon he question OF the constitu-
tionality Of the trial Of Almy by the court
instead Of a jury. On July -. following,
the court de- ided that he must suffer the
full penalty Of the law, saying his objec-
tions came too late; that he waived his
constitutional right OF trial by jury, and
his plea Of guilty was not made under any
misapprehension. Later phases of the
case are already fresh In the mind Of the
public
