Seteteeeeetetnt Remnant Day Reductions. We have adopted Friday as our Remnant Day. It is then that we shall forget what things cost—what they are worth—but if they are small lots and broxen sizes sacrifice them mercilessly—to the end that there may be no accumulation of remnants. Of course our steck is composed cutirely of merchandise of character and import- ance in the men’s, women’s and children’s wardrobes—and for that reason such a sale as this must possess more attractions to the eco- nomical than any other. That we are in earnest in the clearance is plainly manifest from the exter t of the reductions.

COLLOQUIES OF COUNSEL The fourth day of the Canty murder trial opened this morning a little after 10 o'clock. The prisoner exhibited no signs of worrl- ment today and conversed in an animated and interested way with his counsel and with Mrs. Canty. The sister and father of Mrs. Canty and the father and mother of the defendant were again present. As a result of the tilts yesterday between the District attorneys and the counsel for the defense, and the interesting points raised relative to the knife alleged to have been found where Rye was picked up, there was a large crowd of spectators in court this morning, and as the trial progressed the number was considerably augmented. William C. Walker, a clerk in the Treas- vry Department, was the first witness. He gave a statement which corresponded in the main points with the testimony of pre- vious witnesses. On cross-examination wit- ness said he did not see Rye until all the shots had been fired, and that at that time Rye was still standing. Harry D. Williams, a messenger in the Court of Appeals, saw the affair from a point in front of the Hove building. His attention was attracted by the first shot, and when he looked he saw Canty standing on the corner shooting at a man who was falling in the street. At this point Mr. Worthington objected to Mr. Shillington’s method of examining witnesses, claiming that they should be allowed to tell their stories in their own way. Judge Cole said he could not dictate to counsel how to ex- amine witnesses, but that he would sustain any objection to a leading question. Then we will interpose hereafter,” put in Judge Wilson. Witness, in answer to questtons, said he saw Rye fall while Canty was shooting at him, and that Canty, after the shooting, returned his pistol to his pocket. On cros examination, witness sald Rye was falling before the last three shots were fired. Witnessed Second Shot. The next witness was Henry Matthews, an insurance broker, whose office at the time of the shooting was 608 Lith street. He was standing in front of his office in the middle of 14th street. He heard a shot and saw Canty standing at the lamppost at the corner, with his left hand on the let- ter box. He saw the defendant as he was firing the second shot. At this time he also saw Rye, who was about thirty feet from Canty and who was facing the northeast corner of 14th and F streets. He did not notice Rye's hands. When Rye fell he was about ferty-five feet away from Can Rye fell to the ground after the last three shots had been fired. Canty then walked out into F street and stopped near the middle of the street, about at the west line of the Wyatt building. Witness moved toward Rye when he heard the second shot and saw at whom Canty was firing, and stated tLat he was about ten feet from Rye when he fell. On cross-examination witness stated that he did not see Rye until the second shot was fired, and at that time he was stand- Ing about thirty feet from Canty. When he located Rye, he started toward him, and Judge Wilson brought out the fact that Mr. Matthews was able to go seventy or eighty feet, or thereabouts, to within ten feet of Rye, before the latter fell. ‘Thomas M. Gale, a real estate dealer, was about 175 feet from the corner of 14th and F' streets when he heard the first shot. He located Canty on the corner, and saw Rye drep about twenty-five or thirty feet from Canty. He fell after all the shots had been fired. Lawrence T. John: a barber, with a shop at GOS Mth street, was standing in front of his shop at the time of the shoot- ing. He had known Mr. Canty befor and located him on the Wyatt building cor- ner after the first shot. He also saw Rye at this time, who appeared to be twelve or fifteen feet a y from Canty and facing the latter, with his back to the Ebbitt When he first saw Rye his hands were down at his side. They then went up in the air, open, and Rye called “Murder!” He then reeled and Freeman, John- shop boy, ran to him and supported When Rye fell he was about twelve or thirteen feet from Canty. After the shooting Canty walked a short distance in the direction of the Treasury Department, when two men eame up and teak hola of him. He returned the pistol behind him while at the lamppost. Colloguy Between Counsel. Another colloquy came up betwean Mr. Shillington and Mr. Worthington with re- gard to leading questions, ard several ex- ceptions were noted. Mr. Worthington said he noticed that the prosecution was going cn a new tack this morning in this rgard and that ke would reserve his comments for the jury. In response to further cross-questioning witness said he was sure Rye’s face was turned toward Canty and his back to the Ebbitt House. H2 reeled and fell after all the shots had been fired Mis. Ella Watkias was standing on the curb ef the Wyatt building corner. She heard a noise, and turning saw Canty pointing a pistol and shooting at a man in the street. Two shots had been fired when she saw this man, who was thon about fif- teen feet from Canty and falling with one hand upraised. He called “Murder!” thr times. She saw Canty put the pistol away and walk up F street a few steps, when he was surrounded by a crowd. When she first saw Rye he was nearly facing Canty, about a three-quarter view. Miss Amy E. Wilber, a clerk in the Treas- ury Department, gave her testimony next. She did not see Canty until after the shoo ing and saw Rye just before he fell. Her testimony did not differ from that given by others. Miss Kate D. Frye, another clerk in the ‘Treasury Department, was the next wit- called. She heard the first shot from a peint on I4th street jus: above F street. She turned in a door of tue Wyatt build- i, on looking out, for the first time about fifteen feet from the curb, ands up and slowly sinking to the She w not sure whether all the or act. ground. shots had been On cross-examination Miss Frye said she saw two men talking on the corner before the shooting, but could not say whether one or both was a parcy Lo the affair. Attorney Worthington brought out an- other point for the def+nse at this juncture through Miss Frye's testimony, that after tne first shot she was between Crane Parrish’s banking house an] the corre! she turned and went to ihe doorway of tha banking house ard monnied the sieps, and tnen turned und saw Kye fail, this taking place after the first shot was fired. Mrs. Annie M. JXoch, who is employed in the offics of the regi: of the treasury, gave her testimony next. She said that three shots were fired while Rye had his back to Canty, he turning round and al- most facing Canty after the las: shot. Falls After Last Shot. The ae of Mrs. Mary Cooper, an artist, next hea@\i, was to the effect that she was in the pprtheast corner of Willard Hotel on the top floor, where she had her studio, at the time of the shooting, looking out of the window facing the Wyatt build- ing. Rye was going toward the Ebbitt House. The next thing she saw was an- other man standing on the Wyatt building corner firing a. pistol into the roadway. She looked inio the street to see at whom the defendant was firing and saw the man sae had noticed at first in the act of turn- ing and iookjng at his assailant. Then there were three quick shots fired. After the last shot Rye raised his arm; his head fell and he doubled up and sank to the ground. She saw Canty arrested and Rye picked up by the crowd and taken to the Ebbitt House drug store. In reply to questions by District Attor- ney Davis witness said Rye was in the act of turning wren the first shot was fired; that his left shoulder was turned toward the man who fred the shots. Cross-cxamined by Mr. Worthington, Mrs. Cooper said when she first saw the man designated as Tyo, i he eee just left the crrb in front of the Wyatt building. He Started toward the EDbiit House diagonal- ly across F street. When the shocting be- gan Rye,was about twelve feet from the Willard corner. He was miich nearer Wil- lgrd Hotel corner than etther of the other cerners. Rye stopped@ walking when the shooting began, and fell after the shots had been fired. He did not move. Mrs. Ccopez was asked to designate on the> diagram where Rye féll. ‘She marked a spot nearer Willard’s thar the Wyatt build- ing, about where the building line of 14th street would have crossed ¥ street. Some tittle time, a few seconds, elapsed, she said, before persons came to Rye’s as- sistance after he was’ shot. Then a few persons ran and were followed by a crowd. Mrs. Cocper was again taken to the dia- gram and asked how much of a crowd was present when the shooting began. She re- piled that there were not many persons. “Did you see a mn standing on the curb e?” inquired Mr. Worthington, indicat- “I did noi,” replied the witness. “What are you doing?” inquired District Attorney’ Davis, quickl: ying to create an individual on the curb?” “Oh, no,” responded Mr. Worthington, blandly. “It is a creature of flesh and Llood, a witness, Wldnsy, who testified h» was standing at the point indicated, and who said the crowd was so great between that point and the man who was shot that he couldn't see him.”” Mrs. Cooper’s testimony closed with this, and rec2ss was ordered. Proceedings After Recess. The first witness called after recess was Edward Anderson of Austin Texas, residing here at the Orleans Hotel. He testified that on the day of the shooting he was on the curb just back of Willerd’s Hotel, on F street, south side. He had a very slight acquaintance with Rye. Did not know Canty. Witness was exactly opposite the West- ern Union telegraph office. He saw a man, who was standing at the mail box across the street, raise a pistol and fire at a man about three feet in front of him. The man shot at backed two and a half feet, and another shot was fired. The man shot at walked sidewise further, and two more shots were fired at quick interv: He was then about thirty feet from the man shooting and fell, or, rather, “doubled up,” on the pavement. Witness did not sce the man shot make any motion. He seemed to retreat in a sidewise position, with his head turned to the north. Witness did not hear either of the parties say anything. Heard some one cry “murder” three times, but could not tell whether it was Rye or not. Asked by Mr. Davis to indicate how Canty held the pistol, witness said he had the pistol down near his hip and raised It slightly at the first shot. It was then low- ered and afterward raised again, and the two remaining shots were fired’ in quick succession. Stood Fronting Each Other. On cross-examination witness said Rye, when the first shot was fired, was directly confronting Canty and about three feet from the point of the pistol. Canty was on the curb and Rye en the concrete. Wit- ignated on the diagram the points where the men stood when the shooting commenced. He did not know what had occurred before the pistol was held up. Did not notice the men until he saw the pistol in Canty’s hand. When the last shot was fired Rye was about five feet from « y. He then moved in an awkward way fer about twenty-five feet before he dropped. When the shooting began witness thought there were some mén standing near the parties and just beyond them. Did not notice anybody immediately with them. Rye feil with his riggt hand extended to the concrete, and when it touched the ground his knees gave way and he fell and rolled on his back. No one was with Rye when he fell, but several persons ran to him immediately afterward: Was in the Line ef Fire. The next witness was*Berkeley C, Waller of 1319 L street, a stydent. Witness hap- pened to be crossing 14th street diagonally from the Ebbitt House to Wyatt building the day of the shooting. He heard a pistol shot and saw a man with a pistol pointed at another man, who was reeling. Two or more additional shots were fired in quick succession. Witness did not pay very close attention thereafter, as he was in the line of fire and retreated toward Willard’s cor- ner. Witness designated on the diagram the positions of the man who did the shoot- ing and the man who was shot at the time he saw them after the first pistol report attracted his attention. The men were about ten feet apart then. There was an interval of about five seconds between the first shot and the others, the latter com- ing rapidly. Rye acted “wriggly” when he went down. When he fell he seemed to reel, with his hands in the air. Couldn't say whether Rye’s hands were closed or whether there was anything in either of them. Witness was present when Rye was picked up. Cross-examined, witness was asked by Mr. Worthington if he had testified that he had turned around on his way from the Eb- bitt to the Wyatt building, when he heard the pistol report. He said he did and ex- plained by the diagram how he did so. This closed Waller's testimony. Messenger Boy a Witness. The next witness was Willard Taylor, seventeen years cld, a messenger in the District Mutual service. At the time of the shooting witness was on 14th stree: at the rear of the Wyatt building, dismounting from his bicycle at the curb. Witness saw the two men standing at the corner of Lith and F streets. They locked very much ex- cited. Witness saw Mr. Canty, whom he knew, draw a pistol from his right side and hold it up. Mr. Rye made a sort of a side step back, with his left side toward Canty. He was abcut s feet from Caniy when the first shot was fired. He kept backing. At the second shot Rye thr2w up one hand and said something that sounded like “murder.” At the third shot Rye went slowly down to his knees and then keeled over on his back. On cross-examination witness said the two men were standing togeth2r and seem- ed very much excited. Could not see Rye’s right hand, because a pole was in the w When the first shot was fired Rye had one foot on th: curb and one foot on the con- crete. James E. Frye, a colored youth, was the next witness. He was a bootblack at the time of the shooting, and was on th2 corner of 14th and F streets. Knew both Messrs. Canty and Rye by sight. Witness’ version of the shooting did not differ from that f the preceding witnesses for the prosecution, save that Rye threw up his left hand w! the second shot was fired and then cried “Murder!” three times. Rye had his right hand in his pocket with his thumb out. Cpuldn’t tell whether it was in his coat or his trousers pocket. ‘There were four shots and Rye began to sink after the second shot was fired, and then cried “Murder!” Thought He Saw a Knife Blade. Cross-examined by Mr. Worthington wit- ness sald he knew both men by sight. They were standing togeiher when witness first saw them and were facthg each other. Witness did not remember going to Mr. Frailey’s office shortly after the shooting and stating that the men were two feet apart. When Rye’s body was lifted up witness saw someihing like a Kniie blade sticking out. It was about the middle of his body. Did not see what was done with it when the body was taken up. What he saw, was bright and )shining and about three-quarters of an inch wide. The crowd prevented witness seeing what became of ke * Proceedings Yesterday’ Afternoon, After the recess yesterday afternoon, when The Star's report, closed, an enlarged diagram of the intersectior of 14th and F streets was exhibited. "Thid diagram play- ed an important part in subsequent pro- ceedings, as each witness was made to show upon it exactly where he stood and where he thought ‘the men about whom he was talking occupied positions. After Mr. Diggs had been recalled and asked to mark upon another plat his own position and that of Mr. Canty and of Mr. Rye at the time of the shooting, Charles W. Morgan, a messenger boy, was put upon the stand. Morgan. 1s employed in the new Western Uniop building, known as the*Wyatt building, and was on the steps that lead from the basement to the Lith street side when he heard the first shot. Upon reaching the sidewalk he heard three more shots in rapid succession, Upon look- ing to see whet the trouble was he dis- covered Rye, who was then sinking to the ground. Witness was positive that the last shot was fired while Rye was on one knee, or perhaps both knees, and cross-question- expensive. does it. them. in every latest effect and color. Sizes 32 to 44.

Upon cross-exa’ a~ tion he stated that Rye did not fall all the way to the ground, but that a young man assisted him, supporting him until assist- ance arrived. Rye Cried Murder. Henry Jackson, a colored valet to Judge Bidkins of the criminal code commission, stated that when he heard the first shot he was just about to step upon the curb at the northwest corner of ith and F streets. “Before I stepped up,” he said, “I noticed Mr. Canty ang saw him reach for some- thing in his pocket. Rye was then about fifte2n steps away and going in the direc- tion of the Ebbitt House. He turned and staggered at the first shot, and as the si ond one hit him he cried ‘Murder.” The other two shois were fired as he was sink- ing to the ground.” Witness stated that Rye had his back to Canty when the first shot was fired and that he partiaily turned his left side toward the defendant and was in that position when the remaining shots were fired. William A. Widney, a clerk in the Treas- ury Department, was then called. He testi- fled that at the time of the shooting he was half way between the Wyatt building corner and the Willard Hotel corner. He saw Canty on the corner and thought he had a pistol in his hand, but would not be sure on this point, because the smoke from the weapon obscured his vision. Then three more shots came, and not until Rye began to sink did Mr. Widney see who Canty was firing at. When he saw Rye sinking he paid no more attention to Canty, but ran to Rye’s assistance, reaching him in time to keep his head and shoulders from touch- ing the concrete. A young man came to his assistance, and a few minutes later they lifted the dying man and carried him to the drug store. ‘Upon cross-examination, Mr. Wigney at- tempted to repeat what some one had sa! at the time: ‘“He’s dropped something.” Mr. Davis and Mr. Shillington objected vigorously to such testimony, but after sharp contention the matter was passed over and Mr. Widney was allowed to pro- ceed. He said that some one had made this exclamation as they were moving Rye from the conerete to the drug store, and that some one else had said, “Go back and get it.” Witnegs stated that a young man had gone back after whatever had been drop- ped, but that he did not return, and wit- ness did not know whether he accomplish- ing by counsel for the defense failed to | ej nis errand or not. shake him on this point: The testimony of George Berry, a colored barber, did not differ materially from that * €rented a Surprise. Charies A. Shields, a real estate broker, and in almost an eager manner. ‘ “Walt a moment,” said Mr. Davis, whose office is at 1405 F street, then took the stand. He did not see any of the shots fired, but saw the smoke of the last shot. He saw Canty walk a short distance down F street toward 15th street after the shoot- ing and said it was some little time before a policeman came up and arrested him. After brief cross-questioning from Judge Wilson the defense sprung a that momentarily took the pros | terney and his assistant by surprise. said “Tell what you know about a knife,” Judge Wilson impressively. “What?” sharply inquired District At- terney Davis. a “Tell what you know about a kuife,” said Judge Wilson and Mr. Worthington in uni- and the district attorney consulted his notes. “All right.” he finally said. Mr. Shields, continuing, said that as the policeman was about to move off with Can- ty, two men, a large man and a smaller one, came running up from the crowd that had collected about Rye. The large man gave the policeman a knife, which he said was picked up where Rye fell. . There was a lively tilt at this time be- tween Mr. Davis and eounsel for the de- fense about the ay of the knife in court, and after some tart replies Mr. Davis produced the weapon after Mr. Shields had Partially described the one he saw in the peliceman’s possession. Mr. Shields said the knife shown him in court corresponded in every way with the one he saw on the day of the shooting, except that he believed the original knife had a somewhat smaller blade than the one shown him. He said, however, it was very possible that this might be the identical knife, as he had not examined it at that time very closely. George W. Starling’s testimony and that of Arthur D. Kellogg, who was employed at the Ebbitt House in March last, did not differ materially from that of other wit- nesses, and at the conclusion of their tes- timony Mr. Davis announced that the next witness he wanted to have called was ab- sent. The court was thea adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. ———-- Oriental Rug Sale at Mo~es’. Five times the stock of any one else. Auc- can fill your 10c for Dress Shields.
