When the body was lifted up witness saw a dirk knife fall, and saw a young man pick it up. The knife was open, and the young man tried to close it. “I said to him,” said the witness, “ ‘You better not do that; you better give it to the officer.” I went with the boy and he gave it to the officer, who got into the carriage with It while the blade was open.

The suggestion that the puth who picked up the knife was dressed in a workman's suit that looked like a aper han: was his own idea Witne. had not followed the ease ch y in the newspaper reports of the jal. Witn reiterated the statement that he was close to the body of Rye when it was lying on the pavement, at one side of it, to the east side of Rye. Rye was lying on his bac near fy feet. He heard “take him to the drug store. Did not see any one witness kr ew at the shooting. Did not see Dr. John W. Drew at the time. Witness was not shaken in his recital of the picking up of the knife under the body when it was lifted. The knife fell from the body when the body was lifted, apparenily from a point between his hip and his knee. When the boy picked up the knife, the body had been moved about a foot towards the drug store. Witness, with Mr. Davis repre- senting the boy, illustrated how the knife was picked up. Witness did not see the boy sip the knife into his pocket. He was certain no one else told the boy to give the knife to the officer. “What was the officer's name?” “Riley.” “How do you know his name “He came to my store a day the shooting,"’ answered the witness. y ss had given some one his name at » shooting, and supposed that eall. He heard Riley tell the boy whe handed him the knife, and ying, “here's the knife,” to come to the station house. Ha Told Officer Riley His Story. Witness Craig said he first spoke about the shooting immediately after the occur- rence to Mr. Thoras Miller, whom he met cn F street. Had known him a long time, but did not know where he lived. He b licved Fe was once employed at Offutt store in Georgetown. Some one suggested t) witness that he Showld g0 to see Mr. Worthington, and he did s9 and told him his stery.

Other wit- ¢ were reculled and asked the same stion and gave answers in the negativ ‘Thomas F. Coyle of 441 street northeast, an employe of the Washington Gas Ligh! Company, was sworn.

Jackson. General Henry R. Jackson died at Sa- vannah, Ga., Monday. He was minis- ter to Austria under Presidents Pierce and Buchanan, and was also a major gen- eral in the confederate army. He was at one time judge of the supreme court of Georgia, and under Mr. Cleveland’s ad- ministration was minister to Mexico. He was at one time a director of the Peabody fund, and had held many other positions of honor and trust. He was graduated from Yale College in the same class wit) ex-Secretary of State Evarts. He had act quired a high reputation in the literary world, and was known as one of the most successful jurists in the south. General Grant was entertained by Gen- eral Jackson at his home in Savannah, when the former was returning from his trip around the world, and there was a warm friendship between the two men, which had begun during the Mexican war. He was seventy-six years of age, and had been twice married. His second wife, who was Miss Florence Bartl®it King, daugh- ter of the late Theo. Butler King, survives him, as does a son by his first wife. The news came to this city in a dispatch to General J. Floyd King, his brother-in-law. ——___-e+____ It matters little what it is that you want— whether @ situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. “I heard the tall man say.” said wit- ness, “ ‘you owe me $20.’ ‘Then I heard the short men say: ‘You are a liar, and if you say that again I'll cut your ——"" ‘The end of the sentence witness did not hear, as he had passed the two men. Then he heard a shot followed by three other shots. Wtness saw the last three fired. All seemed to take effect in the small man’s body. They were fired by the tail man. The short man was on the sidewalk until the last shot was fired, and then stag- gered out in the street and fell. Witness had not moved from where he had stopped when he heard the first shot. The tall man valked by him and some one said: “Yeu've killed that man." Witness was not permitted to state what the tall man said in reply. Witness then walked out toward the man lying in the street. He heard some one say: “Here ts his knife,” but saw nothing. Questioned about the positton of the two men when he first saw them, witness said they were within about three feet of each other and facing each other. The tall man’s face created no impression on wit- ness. The short man was mad. “To put it in my way,” sdid witness, “I'd say he was as mad as h—I.” ‘The short man’s manner was very angry, witness continued. His face was flushed. At the crack of the last shot the short man sort of stumbled to the gutter. Not Called by District Attorney. Witness had first told what he nad seen to the officer who took Canty to the sta- tion, and was told by him to come to the station. Did not know where that station was, so he went to Lieut. Boyle's staticn on K street at 4 o'clock the day of the shooting, and told Lieut. Boyle. After- ward Officer Riley came to witness’ house and witness told him the same story. He had told Capt.

Disregard by Vessel Commanders of Regulations. Reports continue to be received at the War Department showing an utter disre- gard by vessel owners and masters of the regulations which govern the entry and de- parture of craft in mined harbors. In three or four instances the vessels have dragged the cables which connected the submarine mines and torpedoes with the shore batteries, resulting in a disarrange- ment of them for the time being. Repairs are promptly made, however, though at great inconvenience to the engineer offi- cers. The result of one vessel's incursion recently was to set adrift along the Atian- tie co: outh of New York a number of torpedoes, each of which ‘contains prob- ably a hundred pounds of dynamite. Ves- sels were sent out to look for them, and so far.as present reports indicate only one has been picked up. The main danger to be apprehended from these articles is the contact of the propeller of a vessel. Rep- resentations have been, made to the officials here regarding the mies placed along the verious parts of ;the coast, because they interfere with commerce. Complaints have also been received here from the owners of excursion resor{s at several places that the placing of mines ;in the harbors and rivers will seriously Interfere with their business during the coming season. It is not probable, however, that any modifica- tion of existing conditions can be brought about in this TeepeClay as the placing of mines and torpedoes 48 essentially a fea- ture of the country’s defense. oe FLEMING CONVICTED.

Evidence That the Accused Practiced as Midwife — Obstetrical Imple- ments Found in Her House. Mildred Campbell, colored, was placed on trial in Criminal Court No. 1, Judge Brad- ley presiding, today, charged with man- ! | slaughter in having performed a criminal operation upon Mrs. Abbie E. Compher, wife of George W. Compher, white, on July 18 last, from which she died August 2 last. The defendant was indicted by the grand | jury, but was released on bond. She is a } mulatto, intelligent looking, and about mid- dle aged. Thos. L. Jones was her attorney, and Mr. Laskey appeared for the government. The jury was made up of Bence Kelley, John D. Schofield, Lisar Prager, Wm. H. Lang, Samuel H. Middleton, Wm. Rodgers, J. W. Bronson, Noah Cole, Henry Kuhn, Jona- than Klock, Edward F. Wright and Arthur Ferguson. The indictment was in two counts, and Lawyer Jones moved the court that one or the other be stricken out. Mr. Laskey ex- plained that they were substantially simi- lar, the first alleging that the operation upon Mrs. Compher was produced by “a certain instrument,” its character being unknown to the grand jury, and the second stating that the operation was produced by “certain means,” also to the grand jurors unknown. Judge Bradley overruled Mr. Jones’ motion. George W. Compher, the husband of the dead woman, was called. He testified as to the illness and death of his wife. He stated that Mrs. Campbell had called several times to see his wife, and that after his wife became ill he asked her should he get a doctor, but Mrs. Campbell assured him that his wife would soon be all right, and would not need such service. Attorney Jones read the statement of the witness at the coroner’s inquest, to the ef- fect that the midwife had only called twice, and compared it with his statement on the stand now, that she had called at least rgain spots. e's fame for low selling by its contributions ble m a long time will be offered. dco—giving the ladies of Washin, prices—building up a business me we started fs considered. jereby Look at to- A lot of about ten trimmed hats, which rte ly stylish—which sold at $2.50, have been marked down. tomorrow to. $1.49 Ladies’ latest style sailor bats, made f Jumbo braid, h ribbon band—very finisted—ha rik 65 to.. 5c.

He judged she had been ill a number of days, and found her condition serious. He attended her ull he> death, August 2. The defendant's attorney brought out the fact that her condition mught have resuit- ed from other than the criminal means charged in the indictment, but the witness suppiemented his statement by saying that the pattent admitted to him that she had suffered an operation. The next witness was Dr. Howard H. Barker, who also attended Mrs. Compher. He briefly tesufied to the fact of the ev dences of an operation having been per- formed upon the patient. Dr. Sterling Kuf- fin, who sometimes performs autopsies for the coroner, gave similar testimony, based upon his examination of the dead woman's bedy. uss Bessie Chazeen, a nurse, said she had been called to attend Mrs. Compher several days before her death. The sick Woman reanzed her condition, and said: “at Ld can get weil i never do such a@ thing again. The witness’ testimony brought out pa- thetic tacts about the patient's upprehen- sicn of death, and the care she wanted taken of her little child in case of a fatal termination. What the Officers Found. Sergeant Harbison testificad having made the arrest of the defendant and having gone with Acting Coroner Giazebrook to her house. They found in one of the rooms medicine bottles and a number of obstetri- cal instruments. —_.—__ NOT UNDER CIVIL SERVICE. The Temporary Department.
