He had been ill only elghteen hours. Canniff was a son of wealthy par- ents, and lived at Newark, N. J. He was enlisted from Veror.a, at which place his father had a country home. Late Saturday afternoon he asked for permission to go in swimming, and re- ported to the hospital an hour or so later complaining of having caught cold in the water and of a strange pain in his head. He soon lapsed into unconsciousness and aid not revive. The bedy was shipped yesterday morn- ing to Verona. The cause of death named Some one had been“ shot.

HEROES REM Notable Celebration of Decoration Day in Northern Cities MANY ORGANIZATIONS TAKE PART Cemeteries the Objects of Genera Attention Today. DAVIS AT GETTYSBURG NEW YORK, May 30.—The celebration of this Decoration day in this vicinity was the most nctable since the nation has h Braves to deccrate. Organizations which ordinarily take no part in the exercises turned out today, and, in addition to the Grand Army men, who naturally took the chief part in the parades and ceremonies, there were auxiliaries of school cadets and other military organizations. A detach- ment of the Old Guard hoisted the Ameri- can flag at the battery at sunrise. This also, according to cusiom, was the hour for unfurling the flag at the old block house at Central Park and at Fort Horn by war veterans. Then came the procession through the city, reviewed at the grand stand at Mad- ison Square by prominent officials, civil and military, and viewed aiong the line of march by thousands of persons. Soldiers Visit Cemeteries. Graves of dead hero2s in Woodlawn, Cal- very, Cypress Hills, Trinity, Greenwood and the cemeteries in the vicinity of the city were visited by the soldiers and their families. Lafayette Post No. 140 went to Fishktll to unveil a statue of Gen. Lafay- ette and present it to the Daughters of the Revolution. John A. Dix Post had a program, which included services at Trinity cemetery. The statue of Farragut. in Madison Square. and the tomb in Trinity, the tomb of Phil Kearney in Trinity, the soldiers’ ~ monu- ment in the frame place, Ericsson at the battery—wll the statues and tombs of mar- EMBERED|STILL ON T tyrs in the city were decorated. U. 8S. Grant Post held memorial services at the | tomb of Gen. Grant after the parades. Typo- graphical Union, No. 6, went to Mount Hope cemetery in the afternoon to decorate graves. Observance at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, May 30.—Not since the year of its institution has Memorial day had a more impressive observance than that of today. At every cematery where sleep the soldier dead there were exercises of some character in connection with the decorating of th? graves. At the Lincoin monument in Fairmount Park,services were held by the George G. Meade Post, No. 1, after which the post visited the grave of its gallant commander, Gen. Mead3. An ad- dress was delivered by Archdeacon Cyrus T. Brady. At Laurel Hill cemetery Gen. Daniel E. Sickles was orator of the day, and an ad- dress was also delivered by Gen. St. Clair A. Mulholland. At the tomb of Anna M. Ross, in Monument cemetery, marked hon- ors were paid. Department chaplain of Anna M. Ross Post, No. 94, delivered the oration. Col. Fred Taylor Post, No. 19, after at- tending services, marched to Odd Fellows’ cemetery. In the parade was a pony phae- ton, containing two little girls, one dressed pergscars ae the hee: oe erin: A t of seating sixty-five pu of ths eae eeu decorated with the na- tional cclors of the United States and Eng- land, was also a feature. HE STAND! Dennis Canty Continues to Testify in His Own Defense. A LONG CROS S-EXYAMINATION Frequent Clashes of Counsel Over Material Points Raised, CANTY’S FEAR OF RYE Decoration day events drew very largely upon the crowds which have been daily attending the Canty trial, with the result that at the opening of the proceedings this morning there were few more than a score of persons in the court*room. Mrs. Canty was the first woman to appear. Her face 1s lcsing the strained, anxious look it wore during the early days of the trial and today, despite the mugginess of the weathar, she seemed vivacious and ¢heerful. Following her came‘the prisoner's mother, dressed in deepest black, his sister and his: father. They sat in their accustomed seats await- ing the prisoner, ‘ The accused came {nfo court shortly after 10 o'clock and warmly greeted his wife. He took the vacant chair at her left side and for a few moments they whispered to- gether. Then they remained silent and Canty sat with his legs crossed and hands clasped around his right knee, watching the opening of the case. The leading coun- | sel on both sides were late, Messrs, Worth- ington, Davis. and Shillington following Judge Cole into court at ten minutes past 10 o'clock. Crier Joyce uttered the sing- song “Oyez” and the court opened. Wit- nesses in the room who. had not been ex- amined were ordered to retire. Some -Corrections. Your honer,”’ sai ir.

He was then living on Grantipiets. Cross-examined. by 34napDavis, he stated that on the morningpafi the- homicide -he took. the pistol and garried it-from home in his right hand treusen pocket. Revert- ing to the question axfte the. prisoner's life insurance, asked onoSaturday last, Mr. Davis inquired if Canty. ealied at the in- surance office on F_straet.before the homi- cide on the marning of the same day. The witness replied that he was not there on the morning of March 14. After he left home he drew $90 from the Columbia Bank and, returning home, gave the amount to his wife. é At this point Mr. Davis arose and an- nounced to the ccurt that on reflection he thought it right to ask a certain question of the witness. He suggested that-it might ‘be proper to have the jury retire. Mr. Worthingto1 that the defense will stand upon” their strict rights in the premises. He said the object of the district attorney was to bring out certain tacts with. regard to difficul- ties the witness has had with other BE: “The fact that a mat or is known as one whe oH iasult has nothing tion and Mr. Worthington reserved an ex- ception. , Dbject to Cross-Examination. Mr. Davis then asked the direct question: “Mr. Canty, do you know Mr. Thomas Mer- shall of Losekam’s, and did you, on a cer- tain oceasion, assault him?" “I was very much intoxicated at the time and do not remember what occurred. I was not in condition to recollect, although I believe I hit him, but I was not in a con- éition to know what I was doing.” Counsel for the defendant resisted fur- ther cross-examination, holding that it was in direct violation of the law. Mr. Worth- ington insisted that the questions were artfully devised to put the witness in such a position that evidence could be brought in to disprove his assertions, and, indeed, te cause his prosecution for perjury. He said the district attorney had no right to examine upon collateral questions, and, ac- cording to the rules of evidence, bind the witness to what he says. “Have you been advised,” said Mr. Davis to witness, ‘that I cannot examine you as to the details of the occurrence?” This question wes a thunderbolt and it brought Messrs. Worthington and Wilson to their feet. “Ah!” exclaimed Judge Wilson, “the question brings out just what I thought the district attorney was driving at. He wants to find out what communication the witness has had with his counsel.” y it,” said Mr. Davis. “I am glad ‘e trying this case, not the coun- sel.’ Then he asked Canty if he had been ar- rested in a raid upon a gambling game run by a man named Colby, in the Randall Hotel. Canty admitted that he was in the Ran- dall, now the Regent, playing cards with Colby when the police entered the place. He was not arrested. His name was taken by the police for use as a witness. Nothing else happened. Mr. Davis asked witness as to his card playing with Rye. Canty said he played cards with Rye the first time he <aw him, and several times afterward, perhaps three, at the Arlington Club; then he stopped. “Why did you stop,” said Mr. Davis. “Because 1 was warned that he was not square.” “Go ahead and blacken the dead man.” cried Mr, Worthington to Mr. Davis. “Prove him a cheat, a man of bad charac- ter, but I respectfully call the court's at- tention to the fact that Mr. Davis was the first to bring out disagreeable facts con- cerning the dead man.” Heated colloquy followed between coun- sel, and Mr. Davis stated that his only pur- Post in questioning the witness was to show, with regard to the alleged warning given Canty, that it did not relate to any fear on Canty’s part of violence from Rye. Heated Colloquy Between Counsel. Probably the most heated period of the trial was at this point. The retorts between ccunsel were not wholly of the “retort courteous” kind. Frequently Mr. Davis’ repartee brought out laughs from the au- dience, which the erier suppressed by sharp Taps with his gavel. “I'd like to know why the United States desires to prove Rye a gambler, a man who cheated, who robbed people at card: cluded Mr. Worthington. “You will know in due time,” blandly re- pues Mr. Davis. Then peace feigned for a me. Witness stated that he had been warned several times after he had played cards with Rye that the latter was not square. “Mr. Canty, tell the court why you drew the $90 out of the bank the morning of the Eemicide,” said Mr. Worthington, continu- ing the redirect examination. ir. Worthington si ‘is purpose to that the witness s! show his desire to pay his life insurance as his life was in danger. Mr. Worthington Explains. Mr. Wortbington said his object was to show by-.evidence whether it was Canty or Rye that was looking for the other. 5 Killed at ary time she might have it with- out any trouble.” “Where were you going that morning?” “To the life insurance company at No. 3 F strect.” “Your premium was due on the 14th. Do you know why it was not paid that day?” asked Mr. Worthington. “I was on the way there that day, when I was hailed, and afterward forgot to pay it in the afternoon.” A question as to the general character of Rye was met with an objection by the dis- trict atte y, and he was sustained by the jucse. fei ntall that It was put on the ground that it is proper In the redirect examination. The written question was then submitted to the judge. “Do you object?” said Judge Cole to Mr. Davis. “I do,” he replied. The question was not asked, and excep- tion was taken by the defense. “In reference to what he heard of Rye previous to the shooting I want to ask Mr. Canty what it was Mr. Waggaman said to him upon the occasion testified to in the Cirect examination.” “I object,” said Mr. Davis. “Why did you put the revolver in your trousers pocket instead of the hip pocket?” tke defendant was asked. “Because the hip pocket in the trousers I had on then was not large enough to hold it. Mr. Worthington drew from the witness that the revolver was put in the pocket the day before (Monday), after his en- counter with Rye. He got it from his heme, then went down to 1331 F street, and after remaining a short time he re- turned again to his home. Mr. Worthington said he was now pre- pared to furnish a link missing from his chain of evidence during the direct exami- nation. He proposed to show by a ques- tion to Mr. Canty that Rye in conversation with a Mr. Walton had made threats the Friday before the shooting, which had been communicated to Canty. Mr. Davis objected and the link was not introduced. Mr. Davis, in view of the holiday, and also as the afternoon could be spent in arguing the law in the case, asked that his witnesses be excused till tomorrow at 10 o'clock. It was done. Following Canty’s Movemen Taking up the witness’ movements the day of the quarrel with Rye, Mr. Davis asked how soon he returned home from No. 1531 F street. “Az once,” said Canty. Who was with you?” was alone.” “How iong did you remain home?” “About half an hour. When my wife was down stairs I got the revolver. Then I re- turned at once to No. 1331 F street, about 1:30 o'clock. “Who was there?” “Mr. Herr, f think—Mr. Austin Herr. He was playing checkers. “Did you not go to Losekam’ ward?” “I do not know. I only remember going once that - The witness then testified that he went home again about 4:15 o'clock and remain- ed there. He took the revolver out of his pocket then and restored it to the pocket the next morning. He declared that after the altercation with Rye he felt that his life had never been in greater danger than at that time. = Mr. Canty, did you employ Judge Wil- don’t know,” said Mr. Canty. apprehend that Mr. Davis wants to show that Judge Wilson was not employed till after Mr. Caton called upon Mr. Canty at the jail,” said Mr. Wilson. “I only want to know when Judge Wilson Sahar me rae enigmatically replied Mr. Mr. Worthington stated then that just after he was employed in the case he had spoken to Judge Wilson.
