row Afternoon.

Charles G. Almy, aged fifty years, whose
home was at 1919 Vermont avenue north

Mr.. Almy was the son of the late Rear

cause business matters demanded his at
tention in the city. Friday afternoon ne
was overcome with the heat at the Metro
politan Club and was removed to the Elmer
gency Hospital by DR.. Dunn who had been
called from the hospital with the ambu-
lance. His condition did not seem to be
serious at that time. but alarming symp-
toms appeared Monday afternoon He con-
tinued to grow worse, and DR.. William r.
Crompton, the family physician, was called
in. A telegram was sent to his mother,
Mrs. Almy, and sister. Miss Sarah Almy,
who have been spending the summer on
NarraganSett bay, informing them of the
serious condition of Mr. Almy.
When his mother and sister arrived in
the city last night Miss Amy went directly
from the train to the hospital, where she
found her brother unconscious. A number
of prominent physicians were called in for
consultation and were around the bedside
at midnight. Among them were DR..
N. Acker and Drs. Dunn and Perkins. They
entertained no hopes of Mr.. Almy's re-
covery. AS stated, he died three hours
later.
Native of Washington.
Mr.. Amy was born in Washington in
1854. He went into the Pennsylvania rail-
road shops and worked for the road for
twenty years. He resigned to accept a
position with the Carpenter Steel Company
of Reading, Pa, which he represented at
the time of his death. He has resided with
his mother at their home on Vermont ave-
nue. since the death of his father. He was
prominent in social circles and member
of the Metropolitan Club and of the Mil
itary Order Of the Loyal Legion. Besides
the members of the family mentioned, an
other sister, Mrs ]. T. HaineS, whose huS-
band is in the army. survives him.

AS previously reported, the Attorney
General stated in court that facts had
come to his knowledge, which, had he
known them sooner, would have caused
him to intervene and stop the prose
cution before the sgrand jury. Com
planning members of that body must
have misread the published reports to
have discovered any reflection upon
themselves in the remarks attributed
to the Attorney General.

one incident while relating it. After
Mrs. Chiffon and her son Harry, who

and hid her in a closet one day, Harry
went away saying he was going to sue

HEARING CASE
AGAINST PHELPS

Commissioner Douthitt yesterday be-
bel suit brought against the Erskine
NJ. Phelps by julius A. Schumacher.
The first mate of the vessel, w. Hell
bron, was on the stand nearly the en-
tire afternoon for the plaintiff, but his
testimony was more favorable to the
defendant. He denied absolutely that
the injured sailor had been neglected,
and said that Captain Graham had put
the man under his charge entirely, and
he had been given the best of care.
The mate testified that the man had
been injured at a time when the Phelps
was in danger, and that he then called
the captain and told him of the acct
dent Graham wished to come down
and take care of the man, but the
mate insisted that he remain where
he was, as the ship was in such dan
ger, that it could not afford to lose
| two officers. The mate testified that
| he had gone to the man and given INN
a dose of laudanum and whiskey to
ease the pain. He had used the sound
| leg as a splint with which to bind ur
| the injured member. The next day he
| had set the broken leg and had proper
splints made by the carpenter. The
had asked Mrs. Graham to provide lint
| for the wound.
On questioning from Mr.. Dunno the
| mate also denied that the vessel could
