Te ever a more wonderful tion re From the w ex- pPloit than that which was performed by a horse in Constantinople the other day?

THEY LACK POWDER Not Enough at Fort Myer to Fire President’s Salute, PREPARATIONS FOR THE REVIEW Statement by Respecting Health of Troops. Chief Surgeon LIQUOR PROHIBITED Spectal Corresponderce of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, May 27 , The 2d Army Corps, United States Volun- teers, will pass in review before the Pres!- dent of the United States and the Secretary of War tomorrow afternoon about 3:30 o'clock. Arrangements to this end were perfected this afternoon after consultation between General Graham, adjutant; Major H. O. F. Heistand and Colonel Wilson from the White House. The President will leave Washington on a special train at 2:30, ar- riving at Dunn Loring, Va., at 2 An escort, under the command of Lieutenant Summerall, the corps commander's person- al aid, will then conduct the presidential party to Camp Alger. Meanwhile the troops will have been drawn up for parade, and, unless General Graham's plans go awry, a battery of light artillery will fire the President's salute of twenty-one guns. After the review Presi- dent McKinley, Secretary Alger and Gen- eral Graham will tour the camp, inspecting the quarters of the volunteers called into service by their orders. Captain Bridgman, U. S. A., now station- ed at Fort Myer, was directed by the War Department this morning to report to Camp Alger for the purpose of firing the salute, but investigation disclosed the in- teresting fact that there was not enough ammunition at the fort for the purpose. An effort will be made to secure a battery from Washington Barracks and to have it transported to Falls Church tomorrow. Unless this is done, however, the President will arrive in Falls Church and review the troops without the customary salute. All the many officials of the quartermas- ter's and subsistence departments have been hard at work all day delivering the supplies recently ordered for the corps. Major Martin, the assistant quartermaster general, has been particularly industrious, so that when the President reviews Gen- eral Graham's men no one of them will be without strong shoes. Blouses, trousers and the like have also been distributed, and an effort will be made to equip at least the front rank of every company with these supplies before the review. Health of the Camp. ‘The health of the camp continues to im- prove. Today among all the men who ap- peared on parade not one succumbed to the Feat, and in all the hospitals In the camp there were reported but one or two cases that demanded serious attention. Lieuten- ant Colonel Girard and his assistants, the brigade surgeons, have done everything possible to allay the fears of those inter- ested in the men at Camp Alger. Today he gave out the following signed statement: “A number of persons have made inquiry as to where to send donations for the sick soldiers of Camp Russell A. Alger. We have not many sick at present, but among 30,000 men starting in a new mode of life a certain amount of sickness must be expected. For the present, what are most needed, beside the finer sort of groceries, such as tapioca, farina, corn starch and preserved fruits, are a number of cots with mattresses and bed clothing. These will be eventually supplied by the government, but the demand has been so sudden that the supply must necessarily be delayed. I have made errangements with the depot quartermaster, Washington, D. C., to have dcnations received at his storehouse, Delaware avenue northeast. He will notify me ard I will have them sent for. “So far we have received two boxes of as- serted groceries and preserves and some reading matter from Miss L. H. Chase, president Soldiers and Sailors’ Union, Wash- ington, D. C., and have the offer of twenty cots. A. C. GIRARD, “Lieutenant Colonel and Chief Surgeon, 2d Army Corps.” Liquor Strictly Forbidden. That General Graham is keeping a watch- ful eye over every feature of camp life is proven by the following general order which was issued today: “General Orders No. 5. “The unauthorized introduction into camp or the sale within its limits of alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating liquors or drugs of any kind whatsoever is strictly prohibited. “The provost marshal will make frequent inspections of the different trading estab- lishments to insure the enforcement of this order. By command of “MAJOR GENERAL GRAHAM. “H. O. F. HEISTAND, Asst. Adit. Gen.” This step is said to have been t&en in consequence of representations from sev- eral brigade and regimental commanders, who held that the sale of beer to the sol- diers during this time of the year was par- ticularly inimical to their health. That General Graham and his officers agreed with this view seemed to go without say- ing, and the general directed Major Heis- tand to issue the order without delay. ‘There are now two canteens in the camp at which beer is sold. Both the men inter- ested in these enterprises intend to prevent the enforcement of this order if possible. Fairfax county is a local option county, and unless the canteen privileges now rec- ognized are continued the sale of beer or other spirituous liquors to the soldiers now camped at Falls Church will be an impos- sibility. E In consequence of the review this morn- ing most of the regimental commanders are preparing to shorten the battalion and company drills this afternoon. This, it is hoped, will expedite the distribution of supplies, so that tomorrow afternoon will find the men not only in good spirits, but possessed of better equipments. Its First Parade. In preparation for the review by the President, which is to take place tomor- row, the 2d Army Corps was yesterday formally assembled on parade for the first time. The general comment is: That the ceremony should have transpired without mishap is in itself a matter for congratula- tion; that the review of 12,000 men should have been completed within lMttle more than an hour is even more noteworthy; but that a body of ccmparatively raw troops, only half uniformed and Insuthi- ciently equipped, should have presented so brave a front, and lines as steady and vnbroken as seasoned veterans, is most remarkable of all. The opinion after the review was that if the corps does as well tomorrow the President and his Secretary of War nzed not be ashamed of the troops called into service by their orders. The review was ordered for 9 o'clock, and was to take place on an open space between the quarters of the 6th Illinois and the Fairfax road. Promptly at 9 and at the place designated the 9th Regiment of the Ist Division were drawn up in column of companies ready to start. A few minutes later the unattached regiments were in line. It was therefore possible for the long line of brown and blue to start only twelve minutes after the time set for ‘assembly. Gen. Graham and his staff uniformed for active service, not for parade, took their station on the crest of a hill near the quar- ters of Col. Schall of the 60th Pennsylvania. Ata signal from Lieut. Summerall,the corps commander's personal ald, the parade started. First came Col. E. A. Campbell and the staff of the first division, Gen. Guenther, the division commander, being absent; then the staff and music of the first brigade. After this long line of staff and mounted orderlies came the first of the enlisted men in the corps. As they came before the. general and his staff the band took station about thirty paces away. It had been previously agreed that men without arms or uniforms should be put in the rear rank. The troops did not, there- fore, seem as badly equipped as imight otherwise have been the case. New Jer- sey's men particularly looked well, but their fine clothes and newer equipments did much to raise the expectations of the spectators. When a little later on companies tramped by with men in black derby hats or faded, wrinkled business suits the parade lost in- terest. The Regiments in Line. The formation consisted of the first d- vision and the urattached troops marching in the following order: First Brigade, com- manded by Col. Welch of the 65th New York, consisting of the Ist New Jersey Volunteers, the 7th Ohio Volunteers and the 65th New York Volunteers; 24 Brigade, commanded by Colonei D. J. Foster of the 6th Tllinois Vol- unteers, corsisting of the 6th Illinois Volunteers, the 8th Ohio Volunteers and the 6th Massachusetts Volunteers; 3d Bri- gade, commanded by Col. Coursen of the 12th Pennsylvania Volunteers, consisting of the 8th, 12th and 17th Pennsylvania Vol- unteers; trocps unattached, the 6th Penn- sylvania, commanded by Col. Schall; the 159th Indiana, commanded by Col. Barrett, and the 9th Battalion, Ohio Volunteers (colored), commanded by Maj. Young. The Squadron of cavalry which is to act as the personal escort of the President tomorrow did not parede. Of those who paraded yesterday, the 24 Brigade seemed to be best equipped, and the 3d Brigade was perhaps most in need of help from the War Department. That this help will be forthcoming after the re- view there can be httle doubt. Gen. Graham and the reviewing party raised their caps as each stand of colors passed by, but they were not more respect- ful to the national flag than any one of the thousand or mere visitors grouped about the parade grounds. When the last detachment had passed by and the reviewing party was dismissed the scldiers were nearly all of them already back in their quarters. From that time on the routine of camp duty continued with- out further interruption. Distributing the Supplies. Except for the time spent in the review Major Martin and his assistants at Dunn Loring were engaged yesterday in giving out uniforms and other supplies. As yet nothing has been received but blouses, trousers, underwear, socks, shoes and pon- chos. The most urgent cases of men with- out sound footwear were in the Pennsylva- nia commands, and the tant quarter- Master general devoted himself first to these men. Subsequently supplies were sent to nearly every company in camp. It may now be said that no one suffers for shoes or clothing. One source of criticism and grumbling is therefore being removed as rapidly as posible. Capt. John Little and his aids of the sub- sistence department have also made much progress. Wheat and bread in abundance have been sent to all the men, and groce- ries and vegetables are to be given out to- morrow and next day. Application for passes to Washington have come in in such numbers recently that Gen. Graham felt {t necessary to send out the following: General Orders. “HEADQUARTERS, 2D ARMY CORPS, “CAMP RUSSELL A. ALGER, Va, “May 26, 1898. “General Orders No. 4. “The following rules will govern the issu- ing of passes by commanders of regiments, independent battalions and squadrons, to the enlisted men of their commands. “(a). A pass will not extend beyond call to quarters. “(b). A pass will not excuse from drill, police or any other duties. “(c). In exceptional cases commanders of regiments, independent battalions or squadrons may grant passes to extend to midnight, but such passes must not oe lightly granted, and only when command- ers, on personal investigation, are satisfied of the meretorious character of the case. “d). Passes which are to excuse an en- listed man from any duty, or extending be- yond midnight of ény of issue, will be sent to corps headquarters for approval before 10 a.m., except in urgent cases, when they may be sent at other hours of the day. “(e).

HEISTAND, “Assistant Adjutant General.” Last night the quarters of the 6th Penn- sylvania were decorated with flags and flowers, and officers and men were enthu- siastically celebrating the eighty-fifth an- niversary of the regiment's organization. Just thirt hree years ago yesterday the regiment celebrated its fiftieth anniversary on a southern battlefield during the awful fratricidal conflict. A camp banquet was served last night, and after it was dis- cussed, officers and men listened to in- spiring and patriotic speeches. Maj. 'b. T. Brazer presided, and made happy com- ments upon “the boys we left behind.” Among those to whom he referred was Capt. Edward E. Parker, quartermaster, who served thirty-seven years with the regi- ment. Col. Schawl and Surgeon C. F. Kil- patrick were among the speakers. Acting Brig. Gen. Campbeil of the Ist Brigade, has appointed Capt. Alvin Greeff of the Ist New Jersey, acting assistant acjutant general, and Capt. Albert Gilbert of the 6th New York acting assistant qvariermaster general. Additional Regiments, Four regiments in addition to those al- ready in camp will probably be paraded temorrow. These are the ist Kansas Vol- unteers, the 1st Rhode Island Volunteers, and two regiments from Missouri. One of these Missouri regiments arrived late this afternoon. The others are expected before sundown. Three trains arrived at Dunn Loring with detachments of troops during the day, the first at 9:40 a.m., the second at 10:40 a.m. and the third about noon. Word has also been received that the 7th Iilinois, from Chicago, will report to head- quarters either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. age District Guard Reorganization. ‘The following circular has been sent out from brigade headquarters to all the offi- cers of the District National Guard: “Headquarters, District of Columbia Militia, 1412 G street. “WASHINGTON, D.

H. Van Sended’a Witnoss in Behalf of Banty. gaa TRIAL FOR MORDER-OF GEORGE RYE Additional Testimony _ Touching Rye’s Abuse of Canty. - Se MORE ABOUT THE KNIFE As the trial of Dennis J. Canty, indicted for the murder of George M. Rye, at 14th and ¥ streets, March 15 last, approaches a ccnelusion the interest in the case visibly Increases, and it is generally believed among those cognizant of. the circum- stances surrounding the tragedy that the Gefense and prosecution both have in their possession developments of a character more important than any yet made in the trial of the case. The tyjal was resumed in Criminal Court No. 1 before Judge Cole this morning, the first witness being Edward A. Burdette, a conductor of the Metropolitan company, who saii his train was turning the corner of 14th and F streets going toward George- tcwn, at the time of the shooting, and wit- ness heard three shots. Saw nothing, how- ever, except the smoke from the pistol. James A. McCall, another Metropolitan conductor, knew nothing of the shooting. The schedule time put his train at 13th and F streets at the time the shooting was said to have occurred. His train was be- bind Burdette’s. When it got to 14th Street there was a crowd there. In reply to Mr. Davis witness said he had been a conductor for six months, but didn’t know how long it took his train to run between 1ath to 14th streets. Knife Was Open. Fayette Waters of 600 L street testified to hearing the shots. He was near Dr. Stone's residence. Witness described how Rye fell, with his head toward the Ebbitt House. Several men were around him. One said, “He's dropped something.” A boy with white overalls picked up a knife from under the body. Two men standing near the boy told him not to close the blade of the knife, but to leave it as it was when he picked it up. The knife was open when it was picked up. Didn't see what the boy did with the knife. The knife in court looked exactly like the one the boy had. On _ cross-examination witness said he was fixing the awning on Wells’ furnishing store, next door to Dr. Stone's residence. A German named Otto Boettger was hold- ing the ladder for him. Witness had been pald off and was coming out of Wells’ store when he heard three shots. Did not see Canty with a pistol in his hand. Witness’ curiosity was to see the man who was shot. A man with a black mustache was the man who first put his hands on the man who was shot, and was the same man who said “He's dropped something.” Mr. Davis handed witness a typewritten statement and asked lilm if”that was his sworn statement made in the district at- torney’s office March 19, and, if his signa- ture was affixed to it. Witness replied that it was, and Mr. Davis, after Mr. Worthing- ton had read it, proceeded to interrogate witness about it. Witness said that some of the details of his former statement were not exactly as he remembered them now. Judge Wilson then took the witness in hand. Witness said he’ went to the district attorney's office on a subpoena and made a statement. Mr. Shillington, Mr. Taggart and Mr. Harvey Given were present. None of the counsel for the prisoner was pres- ent. Witness did not say anything to any of the counsel for defendant until after he had been called as a witness-in the case. (This witness was one of those for the government whom the defense objected to last week because it had not received proper notice of his residence.) Mrs. Caton’s Testimony. The next witness, Mrs. Kate Caton, wife of Henry Caton, a Post Office Department clerk, stated she had known. Charles Keat- ing since she was a child. Had an engage- ment with Keating the day of the shoot- ing at 12:30 o'clock to go with him and get an affidavit in behalf of his pension. Keating was late in keeping the appoint- ment, and in explaining his delay said a man had been shot on F street. Witness was not permitted to state what Keating said to her, but said she had communicated the facts to defendant's counsel. Mr. Davis objected, and Judge Cole sustained the objection. Mr. Worth- irgton, in noting an exception, stated that he had proposed to show by witness that Keating had told her in less than an hour after the shooting the same story he had told on the stand about seeing Rye with the knife in his hand immediately before the shooting. Mr. Davis cross-examined Mrs. Caton at great length upon her yarious places of residence during the past thirty years, and her various occupations. At last the wit- ness said the prosecuting attorney confused her so that she could not keep her memory stralght. She appealed to Judge Cole, wio told her it would be best for her to answer the questions. She had known Keating, she said, since 1860 or 1861. Since 1877 Witness had seen Keating here once in Washington about eight or nine years ago cn the street. She saw him again here just before the shooting. Witness met him on the street, and thought it was in the month of March. Keating met her again on the street and said he had lost his pea- sion, and witness safd she could make an affidavit that Keating was not deaf before the war. Witness did go with Keating on the day of the shooting, and did make an affidavit to the effect stated. Keating a day or two afterward took up his. resi- dence at witness’ house. He remained there until three or four days ago. Witness said she was born in 1853, and was there- fore forty-five years old. Keating went into the army about 1864. Witness had told Judge Wilson about what Keating had told her on May 1. She believed it was her duty to tell Judge Wilson. Followed by a Detective. Further on in the lengthy cross-examina- Mr Davis asked witness if she had not left the court house with Keating the Gay the latter was on the stand. Witness replied.that she did; that she took Keat- ing home with her to give him some din- ner, as he had no money. She sat down for five minutes or 50 on a bench in the City Hall Park with Keating, and Keating talked about his examination and the many unnecessary questions asked him. The cross-examination being closed Mr. Worthington asked witness: “Did you know when-you left the court that a detective was following you’ “No, I did not.” “Did you?” inquired “Mr. Davis of Mr. Worthington. “Yes,” responded MrAWorthingon,prompt- ly. “I did. That is, I was informed that a secret service defective followed the woman and man when they left the court house.” -Mr. Davis said he ‘had fieard nothing about secret service detectives in connec- tion with the case. it Mrs. Caton was them) exeused, and Fay- ette Waters was recalled and recognized Mr. Widney as very much Ifke the man who was helping to lift Rye’s body and who said, “He's dropped something.’ Prof. Edward M. Gallaudet} president of the Deaf end Dumb Lystitute, was sworn and interrogated by Judge ,Wilson as to the ability of persons Who ate partly deaf of acquiring the facul#y of ‘Mnderstanding people by observing ;the miovements of their mouths, replied hat it;,was entirely possible for ‘persons eyen totally deaf to do so, and in cases of persons partly deaf the acquisition of the power is very easy. Such persons do not require special instruc- tions. James Waneer, colored, recalled, was ask- ed if he put a knife or any other weapon near Rye's body. “I don’t remember doing 80,’ replied witness. When the smile subsided witness was shown the knife, and sald he never saw it before. Loop in Rye’s Left Sleeve. James A. McElwee of W, H. McKnew’s store being sworn said.he had made shirts for George M. Rye. Delivered shirts to Rye at Hotel Wellington February 2. Wit- ness was struck by the peculiar construc- tion of the left sleeve of the shirts. Rye brought @ sample shirt. The peculiarity [ not know what it w: tor Rye was very particular to say that he wanted the shirts made with the Joop exactly like that in the sample shirt. The shirt worn by Rye at the time he was shot was shown to witness. A tape Joop was shown on the inside of the left cuff. Witness said the loop was spoken of by Rye when the shirts were ordered. Dealer Wulford as a Witness. Alfred Walford, the dealer in sporting goods at Nos. 477 and 909 Pennsylvania avenue, was next sworn. When handed the knife he identified it as having been in his stock and having been marked “ C. R. W.” Witness kept a record of such knives sold. No name similar to those involved in the trial was on the record. The knife in ques- tion had evidently been ground on the stone; sharpened after purchase. Witness examined the knife closely and said he thought the blade point had struck some- “thing, as it was not as sharp as such blade points are. There had not been a purchase of such a knife at either of witness’ stores for a month preceding the shooting. C. C. Carlin of Alexandria, Va., a lawyer, knew Canty, but did not know Rye. He saw Canty about 4 o'clock the afternoon of the day before the shooting. He was with Mr. Van Senden. The latter was called away by a lady and Mr. Canty and wit- ness talked for fifteen minutes. Witness had been Canty's attorney in settling his accounts with his creditors. When asked if Canty's manner was unusual at the time Mr. Davis objected. Witness was allowed to tell Judge Cole, in company with Mr. Davis and Mr. Worthington, but out of hearing of the jury, what Canty’s manner was and what he said. Mr. Davis’ objec- tion was sustained. The statement of wit- ness was made a part of the record, and the defense notéd another exception. Canty’s Partner Sworn. William H. Van Senden, Canty’s former partner and his devoted friend, was next sworn. Witness was private secretary to Secretary Carlisle from February, 1893, to March, 1897, h2 said. He was the “com- pany” of Canty & Co. when it failed, Au- gust 14. 1897. He knew George M. Rye. At the time of the failure the firm was indebt- ed to Rye a little over $500, and $100 had heen paid Ry2 before the difficulty, leaving a balance due him of a little over $400. Four or five weeks before the shooting the firm had come into possession of some paper of Rye’s. Witness producad a note drawn by Kye in favor of C. R. Havenner for $650. Witness had obtained the note from Mr. Havenner, and had informed Canty about it. Had not shown the note, which was made an exhibit, to Canty. ‘Van Senden wes then ask>d to tell about the altercation between Canty and Rye the day before the shooting, and described what Rye had called Canty and himeelf. Witness was about twenty feet distant. He did not hear Canty say anything. When Canty started into 1331 Rye declared he would call him the same things whenever and wherever he saw bim. What Canty said when he cam> into the house was not permitted to be recited, and an exception was noted by the defense. A recess was then taken until 1 o'clock. Business Details. Continuing his testimony after recess, Mr. Van Senden said Canty and himself left 1331 F street at 3 o'clock on the day before the shooting and walked down F street to- ward 9th. Canty lived at 908 I street. Witness was at 2075 14th street at the time of the shooting. Had not seen Canty since he left him at 9th and I streets the day before. Witness was not personally acquainted with Mrs. Caton. She had gallea several times on Secretary Carlisle. Knew she was from Kentucky. Witness saw Mrs. ‘on after the difficulty at her residence. Witness went there because Canty had asked him to do so. Canty had said that Caton told him a man at her house a witness to the shooting. Saw Keat- ing at Mrs. Caton’s house. Mrs. Caton was present. Saw Mrs. Caton once since then, Had gone at Mr. Worthington’s direction to see if Keating was at the house. Cross-examined, witness said he had nev- er known Keating or Mrs. Caton in Ken- tucky. Witness related his acquaintance with Canty and Rye. The latter wa: garded as a sporting man—a gambler. Nev- er saw Rye in Canty & Co.'s office until about a week before the failure. The note of Rye to Havenner was secured by wit- ness in February. Witvess did not know that Rye had repudiated the note to Hav- enner. Van: Senden said he knew the note was ovtlawed and that it was over three years old. He was about to state what Mr. Ha- venner said regarding the note, when Mr. Davis objected, and a discu ensued. Judge Cole overruied Mr. D , and Vai Senden then said that when Havenner gay him the note he explained to witness how "s obligation had been incurred. Wit- secured the note to make it an offs. claim against Canty & Co. Rye was not always demanding his mon- ey, witness said. He had demanded it of Witness twice, once in August, 1897, when Rye was given $100, and once in January, 1888. Witness got the note after this sec- ond demand. Further cross-examination nothing material, closed. Concluding Proceedings Yesterday. The first witness examined after The Star's report closed yesterday was George F. Cochnewer, a quarryman, temporarily residing at 931 I street northwest. He knew neither of the principals to the shooting, was walking east on the north side of F street between lith and 15th streets, and at the time of the shooting was about forty-five feet from the 14th street curb. When about at the center of the building adjoining the Wyatt building witness heard a shot at the corner. Three shots followed. Witness had jumped into the street at the first shot. At the second shot Rye started to walk backwards towards the Ebbitt with his left hand up as if guarding . Rye went back after the second shot about three paces and then fell to one knee. Then he dropped to the street. The man doing the shooting was on the curb and the man shot was in the road- way. When witness first saw the parties they were about two and a half or three feet apart. Rye was facing Canty. Rye’s right hand was behind him up to tive sec- ond shot. He then threw it.up. Something glistening, about four or five inches long, was in Rye’s hand. Rye went nine or ten feet after all the shots were fired before he fell. Rye fell with his head toward the Ebbitt House. When he fell to his right knee he tried to straighten up, and as he did so whatever he had in his right hand fell to the street. Witness saw it fall. Canty Said He Wouldn't Run. Canty came toward witness, and witness put his hand on Canty’s back and said, “Don’t run away.” About a minute had elapsed when witness safd this. At this time a colored man was approaching R; prostrate body and then a crowd gathere When witness told Canty not to run away Canty said, “I'll not run.” Witness then asked Canty a question and Canty answered. The question and an- swer were not admitted and another ex- ception was noted. After this colloquy Canty asked witness where the offfter was and was told by wit- ness an officer would soon be there. Wit- ness said he had a conversation, six or eight minutes after the body had been car- riéd into the drug store, with a gentleman he did not know, who said he was a re- tired army officer named Walker. Witness aud Walker exchanged cards. Witness made statements about the shooting in the district attorney's office in March. Witness Was summoned to that ¢ifice. He told the district attorney what he had told the jury today. Witnecs was at the district attor- ney’s office five times on five consecutive days. Mr. Davis having stated that there was no necessity for proving that Mr. Coch- newer was at his office, Mr. Worthington blandiy gave thanks for the “small favor.” Cochnower Cross-Examined. ‘The cards exchanged by Mr. Coehnower and Capt. Walker were offered in evidence and read to the jury, and then Mr. Coch- uewer was cross-examined by Mr. Shilling- ton, who questioned witness as to his var- cus places of residence in the city, and what business he had at the treasury on the day of the shooting, and with what branch of the service. Mr. Shillington and Mr. Davis having objected to something Mr. Worthington said about the course of their questioning, Judge Cole remarked that he couldn't see what the prosecuting at- terneys wanted to make such a fine point | for, whereupon Mr. Shillington changed his question, asking if witness could tell what H developed and The Star’s report business witness bad at the Treasury De- | WANTED (Hovses). referring to a book. | WANTED (Allscellanecus) sore the pce WANTED (Rooms). ‘tment without ‘itness said Do, because to was what tock there.

Saw Mr. Walter Chance, spectal supervis- ing agent of the customs division. Mr. Chance sent witness to a friend down- stairs to get a Congressional Directory, which was the book witness wanted, and he did so. Witness minutely described leaving the Treasury Department and going to the north side of F street and proceeding east- ward. He looked at the F street clock when coming down the treasury steps, and it marked two minutes after By indi- cating on photographs and the diagram the witness showed where he was during the shooting with equal exactness, as well as the positions of Rye and Canty. He no- ticed the men almost simultaneously with hearing the first shot. Rye was in the roadway and Canty on the sidewalk. Both men were very close together. “Where were you when the second shot was fired?” “I think I was in the air. sideways to the street.” Witness did not see the second shot, but heard it. Rye did not start to go backward until the third shot was fired. Several other witnesses were examined before adjournment, including Capt. Jno. P. Walker, U. 8. A., retired; Motormen Campbell and Cabado of the Metropolitan, and John J. Sweeney, a Western Union Tel- egraph operator, but nothing new was de- veloped in their examination. es THE SATURDAY STAR. f the Contents of To- ‘s Big Paper.
