LEADING POINTS INVOLVED ‘The eighth day of the trial of Dennis J. Canty, indicted for the murder of George M. Rye, March 15 last, at the corner of 14th and F streets northwest, began at 10:15 o'clock this morning in Criminal Court No. 1, before Judg> Cole. The increasing inter- est in the already celebrated case had caused an increased demand for admission te the court room, but the rule excluding the gen+ral public was rigidly enforced. The defendant appeared to be fresher than at any time during the trial, and be- fore the proceedings began chatted with s:veral friends in an affable and smiling manner, and talked pleasantly with his wife, who was, as usual, seated by his side. Officer Riley, who arrested Canty, was re- called and asked two or three questions about individuals who were pr2sent when be had Canty in custody. H. Cabell Maddux of Fauquier county, Va., was next called. Had known George Rye and Dennis Canty about five or six years. Witness met Canty and Van Senden in New York last August, at the Hoffman Hous>, and was told about the failure. Met Rye fcur or five days afterward in this city. ‘Don't tell what Mr. Rye said,” interject- ed Mr. Davis. Mr. Wilson thereupon arose and said he proposed to show that Rye had made threats against Canty and that the threats had be2n communicated to him. Judge Cole ruled, as on yesterday, that such testimony could not be admitted until the facts of the killing in self-defense were 2stablished, and the deferse noted another Sar Maddux was then excused until Thursday afternoon. The Previous Quarrel. C. W. Johnson testified to the facts of the quarrel between Rye and Canty in front of 1331 F street the day before the shooting, cerroborating the evidence of the other wit- nesses preceding as to the language used by Rye and his angry manner. “Rye was shaking with sion. Canty'’s manner was quiet and collected. Canty asked Rye not to create a disturbance on the street and requested him to come in- side. Rye sald the street was good enough for him. As Canty walked away from Rye, ac- cording to witness, the latter reiterated the epithets he b d aadressed to Canty before, and s sould repeat them whenever and wherey » he met Canty. James E. | ye, the colored bootblack, was again called, |ut failed to answer, being re- ported by Bailiff Craits as sick in bed.

Witness saw Mr. Rye, whom he knew by sight, in Mr. Jeffords’ office about twenty minutes to 12 o'clock the day of the shoc ing. Witness heard Mr. Rye say something which Mr. Davis objected to witness Cole held to his ruling that such was not competent at this time, and the defense noted the usual exception, On cross-examination witness said he had first told the story of what Rye had said to a newspaper reporter, and recognized the Star reporter engaged in reporting tae trial as the one to whom he had given the t.

Witness on the northeast corner of 14th and F near Dr. Stone’s house, whi the hooting began. He was going west, and first saw a gentleman, well dressed, eros: ing diagonally from the Ebbitt Hoase the Wyatt building corner. Witness was then in front of Wells’ store, next to Stcne's. He next saw Mr. Rye just at the rb (whether on it or not, the witness uld not say) on the north side of t , at the corner of F and 14th stre, His hand was mceved to his back. He his hand behind him. Witness then s Canty draw a revolver and shoot onc then two or three shots in qnick 102, Mr. Rye staggered back, he said, about fit- teen or twenty feet into F street, and threw up ris hand and sank down. When Rye made the motion of putting kis right hand behind him the parties were probably four or six feet apart. Rye kept his behind him when he staggered back and until he began to fall On cross-exumination, witness first noticed Rye putting his hand be him and then noticed the pistol in Canty’ Tight hand. Noticed both these chings simultaneously. Alleged Act of Aggression. Witness, continuing, said Officer Riley had come to him to get a statement on be- half of the government. After much ques- ticning by Mr. Davis, witness declared that Rye first put his hand behind him and then Centy raised the revolver, a second probably elapsing between Rye's motion and Canty’ Edgar Murphy, an aged colored carpenter of Olive avenue, testified to being on the north side of F street near the Wyatt building; was close to the gentlemen who had the trouble. That gentleman (pointing to Canty) was standing by the curb. An- other gentleman stepped up to him® an Canty said: “George, you owe me $200, and the other man sald: “You can get it Witness passed on across 14th street east and then heard the shots. When Rye and Canty spoke, as witness stated, they were facing the Wyatt building and about a foot apart. On cross-examination Murphy sald he was accompanied from home by another colored man named Lee, who was behind him when the shooting occurred. Witness could not say if the man who was lying in the street shot was the same man who had been told by Mr. Canty that he owed him (Canty) $200. John S. Lee, colored, of 2708 P street, a bricklayer, was Murphy’s companion. Wit- nes: saw Canty and Rye. Heard Canty say: “George, I claim you owe me $200." Witness heard some one say, “You're a da—d liar,” and thought it was said in re- sponse to the first remark. Witness turn- ed at this and saw Canty draw a pistol and begin shooting. Canty stepped back, when he fired. The man fired at was about four feet from Canty at the time. Witness did not notice the man who was shot until he saw him being fired at. When witness turned around the men were about five fest apert. to 1 he Hand in Hip Pocket. When asked how Rye was standing when ths first shot was fired, the witness indi- cated with his own person by placing his right hand in his hip pocket and bis left hand in front of him. When the first shot was fired Rye was on the curb apparently, and then went into the gutter. ‘Three shots foliowed in quick succession, the last being when Rye was about eight feet away. After the last shot Rye backed, witness thought, about twenty feet before he fell. Witness had gone from the Wyatt building correr to the Ebbitt Ho Rye fell. He left shot kad been ccurse to the Ebbitt ped and saw £ THE STRAINS OF WAR. | id They Are Tremendous and Few People Realize How Great and Far Reaching They ie. May Be. if 3 yall.

Cross-examination developed nothing else from this witness. Corroborative Testimony, The next witness was Jesse H. Lemon of 1520 P street, employed as a clerk by Jeffords & Co. of 1331 F street, who recited the circumstances of the altercation be- tween Rye and Canty the day before the tragedy, corroborating the evidence given by numerous preceding witnesses as to Rye’s violent language and his angry man- ner, Rye was very excited, shaking his hands under Canty’s face. Did not hear what Canty said, as he spoke in a low tone. 4 William W. Swaggart of 1106 Sth street northwest was next sworn. He had seen the shooting; was on 14th street, west side, about ten or twelve yards from the corner, driving a closed wagon. Nothing was there to obstruct his view. Witness was about to turn the corner of F street and saw the two gentlemen standing there. Noticed Rye's mouth working and saw his hand at his hip. ‘Then saw Canty draw his pistol and deliberately aim and fire a shot. At the first shot Rye was about three feet from Canty. He then went back, probably three feet more, and then two shots more were fired. Rye stepped backward toward the Ebbitt House about thirty feet and fell, sinking down on his right hand. When witness first saw the two men Canty and Rye were about face to face three feet apart. Rye made a motion first toward his hip pocket with his right hand. Rye had some article in his right hand, which witness could not recognize. Five or six seconds afterward Canty drew his revolver. Witness could remember hear- ing but three shots.

Riley Drinks Poison With Inten- tion of Committing Suicide, Message to His Mother Handed to a Policeman — Quick Work Saves His Life, Charles E. Riley, a young man well known In police circles, attempted suicide about noon today by taking a big dose of laudanum. Before swallowing the poison he wrote a note of explanation to be deliv- ered to his mother. Tnen he told his troubles to a policeman and the latter sent him to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Juenemann’s successful work relieved the patient of the poison. His sweetheart had gone back on him, he said in his letter, be- cause she had learned of his past. With- out her he saw no reason why he should live. Policeman Yoe of the first precinct was Standing at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue when Riley, who lives at 113 N street southeast, approached him and asked: “Will you do me a favor?” ‘I will if I can, Riley,” responded the offi- cer, who was acquainted with the appli- cant. “You can do it if you will,” said Riley. “What is it?” inquired the officer. “I have taken poison,” was his response, “and I want you to take this letter to my mother.” “By the time you receive this letter I'll be dead,” read the officer, as he glanced at the unsealed letter. This assured him that Riley was in earn- est, and he walked with him to the patrol box to summon an ambulance. Riley be- came drowsy and the officer, with the as- sistance of a citizen, kept him moving. In this way he was kept awake until the hos- pital answered the call, Then he was taken in a hurry to the hospital and put under treatment. Policeman Yoe turned the letter over to Dr. Fife, but when a Star reporter called the doctor declared he did not have the letter. He afterward admitted that he had been given the letter, and later turned it over to the police and it was sent to the mother at her home on N street. Letter to His Mother. In the letter Riley says the young lady in qvestion learned of his past record, and re- fused to have anything further to do with him. He blames his fate on bad company during his earlier life, and says his act should be a warning to young men in gen- eral. After asking forgiveness, saying he had been trying to live yight, he directs that his funeral take place from the mis- sion, and that Mr. Havel] sing a solo, “I ave anchored my soul, in fhe haven of rest.’ This afternoon the hospital physicians said the patient was oyt of danger.

Colonel Patrick Henry Ray, one of the best-known officers of the regular army, will leave Washington in a few days for Georgia, where he goes to raise one of the regiments of United States volunteers au- thorized by the special act of Congress re- cently passed. Three such regiments have been authorized by President McKinley, and in the allotment of territory Colonel Ray has heen given Georgia, South Caro- lina and Florida, and his work of muster- ing in the men will begin at once. This regiment will be one of those to be formed under what has been termed the “immune” act. There is no provision in the act*that the men enlisted under it shall be immunes, but it is the idea of the army authorities that men as nearly acclimated as possible shall be secured, and for that reason the regiments are to be raised in the south. The officers of the regiment and of the different companies are to be selected by the President, as are those of the regular army, but assurance is given those who raise companies that they are to be appointed captains. It is Colonel Ray’s idea to have his lieutenants come, as far as possible, from the regular army, so as to have from the first men qualified for sere) positions and to insure proper drill- Ing. It is understood that Robert L. Long- street of Georgia, a son of the famous con- federate general, now railroad commission- er, been commissioned to raise a com- pany for the regiment, and that Frank Gordon, a son of General James B. Gor- don, also of the confederacy, will be given @ like commission. It is believed that if any regiment of the United States volun- teers is given a chance for active duty it will be the one under Colonel Ray. very highly regarded by his superiors. He Was an officer in the civil war, and at its conclusion went into the army. Since then he has seen active service in all the Indian campaigning, from British America to Mexico. In 1884 he went to ‘Vienna on a special mission for the govern- ment. From 1881 to 1883 he was with an expedition in the arctic seas. Colonel Ray has just now returned from Alaska and British North America, where he went last year United States.
