Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1893-05-16

Christie, up to this time, had been so
overpowered by fear that she was scarcely
able to move. She clung to her sister, a
bright young girl Of IL, who locked her in
an embrace that was the desperate effort of
loved ones not to be parted.
What inspired the murderer not to fire
his revolver into the body Of his young
opponent can only be explained by the fact
that her feet struck uneven ground at this
moment, and she fell, nearly carrying her
sister with her.
This Was Aimy's Opportunity,
and grasping Christie around the waist he
dragged her to the bars, which he had
lowered, and pulled her over into the wood
land beyond. When once inside he threw
his victim to the ground, and then, grasp
ing her by the feet and skirts, he began
dragging her inland toward small brook
that was situated about 200 yards from
the highway.
Telling her mother and Miss Goodell to
hurry on to Emmett Marshall's farm, about
quarter of a mile away, and summon
help, the young heroine climbed the fence
and dashed ON towards her sister, who
now shouted with desperation and despair:
"Oh, Fanny, help, or he will kill mep'
Not word now escaped Almy. He con-
tinued to drag his burden towards the un-
derbrush, which he presently gained, after
Christies outer clothing had been literally
torn from her body.
Perhaps five minutes passed, and then
far up the side Of a distant hill were heard
footsteps. A man was hurrying down,
evidently in response to the alarm for
help, and Fannie thought only of guiding
him to the place where her sister lay pros

assailant.
Like frightened fawn she ran down the
hill through brook, where the water
came up to her knees and breathlessly In
tercepted the new recruit. This man was
Emmett Marshall, but IN leaving home he
Had Brought No weapons,
and on learning the recklessness with
wbicS Almy used his revolver, he dis
played great deal less enthusiasm about
advancing IN attack than had the young
girl at his side.
AS they stole on the place where Almy
was located, which was now situated at
point about 250 yards further up the brook
10 the left, two shots resounded in quick
succession and death CRY followed.
The final event in the great tragedy was
over, and for an instant the two saw the
figure Of young man rushing up hill far
back in the enclosure, and evidently max
ing in the direction OF the town.
Then all was still, and they little later
saw that all was over with the victim.
Christie lay on her left side, her white
skirts covered with blood from a wound In
the back and another in the head.
As Fanny looked upon her dead sister
her highly strung system collapsed, and
with cry she sank on the ground by the
dead girls side
Capture Of the Murderer.
Almy, the man for whom the whole
country had been secured; the man for
whom the keenest detectives had searched
in vain, was. more than a month later, In
the clutches Of the law, writhing on bed

and prey TO all the conflicting feelings
which crowd a captured murderer's brain.
The action opened with the arousing OF
the suspicious OF the Warden family that
some one was concealed or had been con
