RILEY RESPONSIBLE |LIFE AT CAMP ALGER) THE DEFENSE OPENS Verdict of Jury Respecting Death of James Mahaney. QUARREL PRECEDES THE KILLING Disputation in a Saloon Over Trivial Matters. ACCUSED MAN IN JAIL This morning Coroner Carr held an in- quest at the sixth precinct station over the body of James Mahaney, a young man who Was stabbed through the heart late Satur- day night in or near Seitz’s saloon, at the foot of 6th street, near the river front. James Riley, who had been on friendly terms with Mahaney and who is charged with having inflicted the fatal wound, was present. After several witnesses had rc- lated the story of the trouble the jury re- turned a verdict holding Riley responsible for the death of his former friend. H2 was thereupon commiited to jail. The homicide took place about 11 oUlock Saturday night, and wv the resvlt of a di pute started in the saloon.

Witness said he had been drinking, but he was sober enough to know what hap- pened. He did not see the knife. Policeman Henry Schneider testified to the arrest. The prisoner told witness that he had defended himself against a razor. Witness knew Mahaney was quarrelsome when under the influence off liquor. He had heard that Mahaney had carried a razor, but he had searched him and had never found such a weapon on him. Sat- urday morning he swore out a warrant for Mahaney for disorderly conduct because of the trouble he had with Ratcliffe. Joseph Hitner testitied that he saw Riley looking for Mahaney about 10:30 o'clock Saturday night. Riley had a penknife in his hand, but witness could not give a description of the knife. Joseph Doyie gave similar testimony. The prisoner made no statement. ns DEATH OF GEN. CLARK. Wel Known Citizen Passed Away Last Evening. General George W. Clark died at his resi- dence, 1634 19th street, last evening, after a Lrief illness, from conge of the brain. General Clark was a native of Indiana, but removed to Iowa in 1856, where he prac- ticed law until the breaking out of the civil war. He was an officer in the 3d Iowa In- fant nd subsequently colonel of the 24th lJowa, 13th Army Corps, and in March, 1865, was brevetted brigadier general. After the war he was appointed United States mar- shal for the district of Lowa, and held that office for four years.

THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT ‘Must be regarded as one of the finest amongst natural aperient Wat ” Hospital. perient Waters kuown.”—The General Graham Takes Formal Charge of His Post. HIS STAFF PARTIALLY COMPLETE No Change of Location of Camp Contemplated. THE LATE ARRIVALS Major General William M. Graham today formally assumed charge of the Second Corps, United States Volunteers. He issued his first genuin> order announcing that he had arrived and wouid direct the affairs of the camp. The corp's staff so far appointed consists of Maj. E. F. Ladd of the %n Cavalry, quartermaster; Capt. John Little, depot commissary, and Maj. M. C. Martin, depot quartermaster. Gen. Graham's personal Staff consists of First Lieut. W. W. Gal- braith of the 5th Artillery and S2cond Lieut. C. P. Summerall, also of the 5th Ar- tillery. Both are entered as aids-de-camp. it is announced here that Maj. H. 0. S. Heistand of the adjutant general's depart- m2nt was today ordered to report to Maj. Gen. Graham for duty on his staff, and Lieut. b. B. Devore, 23d Infantry, who has been acting as military secretary to the Secretary of War, has also been orlered to repcrt to Gen. Graham for similar duty. Both of these officers have been stationed at the War Department for several months and are well known to the residents of the District as capable and experienced sol- diers, Th corps commander set cut at once to investigate the condition of the several regimental camps, to determine whether or not the water supply was sufficient and to select the proper site for corps headqnar- ters. He found all the regiments comfort- ably located on ground as dry as could be expected at this time of tae , and, € cept in some rar? instances, fully equipped for duty. The water supply he regards as fully ade- quate if properly handled. His own head- quarters he means to establish in a clump of pine trees on a knoll about a mile from Woodburn Manor. Both troops of New York cavalry that are expected to arrive this afternoon are to be- come his personal guard, and will be camp- ed in the immediate vicinity of the corps headquarters, Depredations Reported. Reports of depredations on the property of the farms adjoining Woodburn Manor having been brought to his attention, Gen. Graham at once announced his intention of establishing courts-martial. It is his pur- he said, to see that neither the straw- berries nor the chickens of the farmers of Fairfax county suffer at the hands of his soldiers. fe A report has circulated through the medi- um of a Washington paper, and other pub- lications, to the effect that Col. D. Jack Foster of the 6th Ilinois had entered for- mal complaint at the War Department against his quarters at Camp Alger. One of Gen. Graham's first callers was Col. F ter himself, who asked the privilege of em- phatically denying the whole story. It was true, he said, that one of his men had died of typhoid fever and that his hospi- tal had been without cots until teday, But the soldier who died was seriously ill before he reached Washington, and the condftion of the hospital could not have seriously affected his case. Even f his quarters had not been satisfactory, con- tinued the colonel of the 6th Mlinois, he would not have undertaken to remedy them by complaining to the War Department. Hoosiers Expected. Major F. S. Strong, who is acting adju- tant today, received word that the 10th regiment of Indi Volunteers had started yesterday at 4 o'clock in the afternoon for Camp Alger. This command is not expec ed to arrive until tomorrow afternoon or evening. Despite the wet weather of the past two or three days there were very few patients under treatment at the hospitals this morn- ing. pose, Sunday in Camp. Sunday was something of a gala day at Camp Alger until it rained in the after- nvcn. Drills was practically suspended. ‘The carp was well filled with visitors and the day was further marked by three meals of more than vsual pretensions. Re- ligious services were held in most of the regiments before dinner. Afterward the enlisted men played base ball and the com- missioned officers entertained the visitors. ‘fhe Sth Ohio, under command of Col. V. Hard, gave an exhibition dress parade in the afternoon, concluding just before the first drops of the shower. Most of the Pennsylvania troops also drilled with their bands, but made no attempt at formal dress parade. Washingtonians do not seem to have lost interest in Camp Alge®, despite the de- parture of the District of Columbia troops. Ali afternoon they poured through tne gates, looking for relatives among the visit- ing commands, or studying modern camp life at close range. Senator and Mrs. M. son, Mr. and Mrs. White, Mrs. Mason’s perents; Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Mrs. Electa E. Smith, Representatives Galusha A. Grow, Grosvenor, McDonneli and Brown- well, Judge Thompson, Capt. A. A. Bart- lett, Capt. I. A. Morrison and Mr. M. W. Brown were among those who made the rcunds. Mrs. Smith was at one time the postimis- tress at Sterling, Ill, and came to the camp to treat the company from that city, Company E of the 6th Illinois, to a home luncheon. The hostess was assisted b; Mrs. Laura Holderby and Mrs. M. Perr: ‘These three ladies and Capt. Laurie, First Lieut. G. B. Dillon and Second Lieut. Frank Wahi of Company E were in their element, and handed about the sandwiches and doughnuts with great glee. " After the deess parade in the evening, the mien gathered about the quarters of their regimental bands and sang to their hearts’ content, “While We Are Fighting for Cuba” and similar songs filling the piogram. Bay Stxte’s Quota Arrives. Nearly a thousand men from the bay state merched into camp yesterday, escort- ed py the band of the 6th. They were the sth Massachusetts, $43 strong, under com- mand of Col. Charles F. Woodward. They set up their tents on the ground formerly occupied by the District of Columbia regi- ment, and within an hour or so were in- stalled comfortably in their new quarters. Before leaving home Col. Woodward's men were escorted to the arsenal and fitted cut to the last detail. They are the only men in camp who wear the brown canvas suits that figure so prominently in the fllu trated papers. Besides these new uniforms they have the most improved Springfield rifles and bayonets. Their band this morn- ing kept up with the procession by playing “The Banks of the..Wabash” at guard mocnt. ~ Gen. Graham's Force. While the regimental buglers about the camp were blowing taps last night Major F. 8. Strong, the adjutant general of Camp Alger, was engaged in calculating the nu- merical strength of General Graham's com. mand. As a result of Major Strong's arith- metic the following figures were obtained. ‘Total number of men at Woodburn Manor, 9,050; number of enlisted men, 8,706; num- ber of officers, 344; number of regiments, 10; number of battalions, 27. ‘The com- mands present are the 6th, 8th, 12th and 13th_ Regiments, Pennsylvania Volunteers; the 7th and 8th Regiments and the 9th Bat. tation (colored), Ohio Volunteers: the 6th ‘Illinois, the ist’New Jersey, the (5th New York and the 6th Massachusetts, Testimony in Behalf of Dennis Canty, Charged With Murder WITNESSES TELL OF, RYE'S ABUSE eee ul BES Story of the Quarrel Previous to "the Siooting. INCIDENTS OF THE TRIAL ‘The second week of the trial of Dennis J. Canty, charged with the murder of George M. Rye, March last, at the corner of i4th and F streets, began in Criminal Court No. 1, before Judge Cole, at 10:20 o'clock tris morning. There was a larger crowd present within the court rail than on any day since the opening. Mr. Worthington asked if anything had been heard of Lester Russell, the witness who went to Portland, Oregon. Mr. Davis said the police authorities had been unable to find Russell, but he would have a tele- gram sent to the Portland authorities to watch for Russell. Major Albert Akers, whose business plaze is 1333 F street, and who resides at the Colonial Hotel, was the first witness called by Mr. Da Before he began his testi- meceny Mr. Worthington asked for the recall of Officer Riley and James E. Frye, the colored bootblack. Major Akers’ Testimony. Being sworn, Major Akers testified to be- ing on the steps of 1333 F street at the time of the shooting. He was talking with a friend, when he heard a pistol shot, fol- lowed by two or three other shots in quick succession. He then saw a man in the street, in front of the Wyatt building, act- ing in a peculiar manner. The man went down on his right hand and fell. Witness said to his friend, ‘That ma has been shot.” Witness saw Canty cn the corner, near the lamp post, and when he saw Rye go down the latter was about one-third of the way across the street. He sank down gradually. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson, witness said he had heard from Judge McCorry of the altercation between Rye and Canty the day before the shooting, but was not present when it occurred. David M. Ross did not answer when called, so his testimony given at the cor- s inquest was read, at Mr. Worthing- s suggestion, Mr. Davis stating that tke statement was given at the inquest, but it was not the statement given in the t attorney's ofiice. ‘Given under oath?” inquired Judge Cole. “Yes, sir,” responded Mr. Dav: And in the presence of the prisoner?” continued the judge. Yes, sir. .“"And in the presence of the prisoner's at- torney,” interjected Mr. Worthington. Mr. Ross’ statements read by Mr. Davis were as to seeing the body of Rye lying on the concrete about fifteen feet from the curb at the Wyatt byilding corner, and Canty being pointed out to him as the man who did the shooting. When the reading Was concluded Mr. Davis asked about the articles produced in the trial being regarded as evidence. He agreed to all being offered except the knife. He, however, did not object when Mr. Worthington’ offered the weapon in evi- dence, Judge Cole having stated that any article brought to the attention of the jury by either side became part of the proceed- ing: Mr. Davis therefore announced that the testimony in chiefwas concluded, ating that he would reserve the right of calling Witnesses in rebuttal. The Defense Opens. The first witness called for the defense was William D, Klausman, a stock broker in the Corcoran.puilding. He had known the defendant a year, and a half, and knew George Rye. Had two conversations with Rye regarding Canty. He met Rye in Jan- uary at Chamberlin’s Hotel. The subject of recent failures of stock brokers was brought up as a topic. Owing to the importance of the question of admitting Mr. Klausman’s testimony of the threats made by Rye against Canty in January, although the threats had not been communicated to Canty, to which Mr. Da- vis objected, volumes of authorities were sent for, Mr. Kiausman being allowed to stand ide meantime. Dr. Ritchie Sworn. Dr. L. W. Ritchie was then called. He did not know either Canty or Rye. March 14, about noon, witness was in his buggy on the north side of F street in front of the Adams building, when his attention was called by the violent language of Rye to- ward Canty. Rye called Canty a d—d thief and a d—d blackeuard, and threatened to expose him in every*way. Canty was per- fectly calm and seemed to be trying to pacify Rye. The latter's manner was very Violent and demonstrative, and he shook his finger in Canty’s face. The difference in the size of the men was so great that witness remarked upon the forbearance of the larger man, Canty. Dr. Ritchie was not cross-examined. A Previous Quarrel. Daniel W. Cronin of the United States geological survey, next sworn, knew Canty by sight. The survey batlding is opposite No. 1331 F street. March 14 a fellow clerk of witness, who was with him in their room in the third story of the survey building, said there was going to be a fight across the street. Witness looked out the window and saw Rye gesticulating wildly and shak- ing his finger under Canty’s nose. Canty was evidently trying to pacify him. Canty Went into tha hall of 1351 F street and Rye walked cast on F street about twenty feet, talked excitedly to several people and then went on toward Losekam’ Henry B. Polkinhorn of ylvania avenue saw Caniy and Rye the day before the shooting on F street. Witness was looking to see the meridian ball crop and then went across to th> norih side of F street. Canty was standing with Rye in front of him with kis fist under Canty’s rose. Witness heard Rye abusing Canty while he had his hand in his face. Rye seemed very excited. Canty was very quiet and very cool, and went into the building. “Did you see anything in Rye’s hand he was asked. Witness saw som2thing like a small white article in Rye’s hand. It might have been a small white-handled knife or a piece of Paper. When the parties separated Canty quietly went into,the puilding. Mr. Worthingtgn having asked witness how Canty’s majner, impressed him Mr. Davis objected, He~ Judge Cole, after hearing the arguments, decided that the smpression made upon the witness by Canty’s, actions were admissible. Witness Polkinitys aed said Canty was peaceful and quief“and’reserved in his man- ner. Didn’t see Gant¥y make any motion except to get outief Rye’s way. Further examined,.witness stated that he saw George Rye in front of Gurley & Bar- ross’ on March 15, the ‘day of the shooting, a few minutes before 12 o'clock. Rye was in close conversatjon with a man he under- stood to be Col. aye 3 or Col. Akers, Six or eight minutes"Afterward witness heard the shots. He was thén at Burdette’s. Cross-examinedydby :Mr. Davis, witness said said he couldn't tell what it was he saw in Rye’s hagd. gie was certain the article was not, a pair of eye-glasses. Nothing materiafdeveloped ip the cross- examination, Mr, Davis, however, directing a subjoena to be issued for Col. E. W. Ayres. Rye Seemed to Be Angry. De Lancey W. Gill of the United States geological survey was next called. He gave testimony similar to that of Mr. Cronin as to Rye’s manner, He seemed to be very angry and was shaking his hand in*Canty’s face and the other was resting on his hip. Rye was very angry. Canty did not give vent to his feelings. Witness remarked that Canty wanted to get out of the fight. Rye had nothing in the hand he made the gestures with. There were eight or ten persons near the two.men. Witness was not, cross-examined. Augustus F. Norris, colored, of 1115 3a street northwest, a plano mover at Sanders & Stayman’s, testified ‘to the altercation between Rye and Canty the day before the shooting. ws ‘When Rye wag waving his band in front | of Canty’s face he was putting mus right -hand in his pocket and then taking it out. Rye was very angry. He acted like ne vas crazy. Canty was quiet. “He acted like a baby,” said the witness. ae struck me as df his manhood had left ‘The cross-examination by Mr. Davis re- Sulted in some amusing tilts between wit- ness and Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis dwelt upon witness’ statement that he turned when he heard loud talkirg, and wanted to know what he meant by “turned.” Norris cx- Plained that his back was toward Canty and Rye, and that by turning he meant his attention was attracted by the men and Rye’s loud talking. Mr. Davis persisted in his questions, and Norris, in attempting to further expiain his meaning remarked that Mr. Davis was “trying to tie him up.” Further on, in being urged to repeat everything that Rye said, witness said that he couldn’t remember everything that Rye said. He called Canty, among cther things, a d—d cur, and said Canty wouldn't dare to lay a finger on him. Called Canty a Thict. ‘The first witness called after recess was David ¥. Green, coloreg, janiter df build- ing No. 1331 F street. Witness knew bo-h Canty and Ryc. Saw them both together the day before the shooting, when the two men were together in front of the build- a Mr. Rye walked up to Mr. Canty and seid: “You're a thief;*you're w robber; so is your partner.”” Rye repeated this half a dozen times, and Canty asked Rye to come into the House and talk matters over. Kye kept on cursing at Canty. Witness was sweeping the pavement. Witness noticed Rye had a small knife in his right hand and his leit shaking before Canty's face. Rye seemed to be as mad 2s a man could be. Canty Was quiet. Witness said the incident oc- {curred between and 11 a.m. On cross-examination witness said Rye’s knife was being worked in his hand. it Was a small pear! handled knife. ‘The knife which Mr. Davis said he would show “Mr. Rye had carried for years,” a state- ment Mr. Worthington vigcrously object- ed to, was given to the witness, and ke identified it as the one Rye had, and show- ed how Rye handled it while ne was call- ing Canty names. The knife is a four- bladed pearl handled pocket knife, and was placed in evidence. George Murray, colored, of 617 L stree:, next sworn, kuew Canty and Rye by sight, Was a bootblack around 1331 F street. The day before the shooting Mr. Rye cau up to Mr. Canty and asked him (Canty) When he was going to pay him. Canty walked to the railing and then Rye cailed him a big beef-eating ——— and shook his left hand in Canty’s face and had an open penknife in his right hand, which was down by his side. Mr. Canty did not say anything. Mr. Rye was very mad. His face grew very red. Mr. Canty did not seem to be angry. Mr. Davis put the witness through a Vigorous cre xXamination, but did not ke his testimcny. Witness had made statement about the altercation to a yer. He went at the request of Mr. Van Senden.

The first meeting was held last night under the leadership of Major Edith Marshall and her singing A. D. C., Capt. Core. These two young women will be in churge of the work at the camp and propose conducting an aggressive spiritual campaign. They will have a tent for the meetings, which will be utilized in the day time for a reading and writing room for the soldiers. Good literature will be kept on hand and the boys in blue will be given a hearty welcome. The meeting last night was attended by several hundred soldiers who listened with interest and respect to the singing and ex- hortations, and eagerly received the army papers distributed afterwards. Ensign Annie Anderson of Salvation Army beadquarters, who has come on to help Major Marshall inaugurate the work, was als> present arid took part in the meeting, together with . Major Pebbles and Cadet Andrews of the Washington district. The stirring music of the cadet, with | berjo and guitar was thoroughly appreciated. ‘Ihe Salvation Army workers say they are much encouraged by the generous re- ception’ given: them by both \officers:and FINANCIAL.
