TESTIFIES THAT RYE DREW A KNIFE Evidence in Rebuttal Submitted by District Attorney. — PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL —— Miss Roberta Somerville, a new witness for the defence in the Canty trial, hitherto unknown to the:prosecution, was placed on the stand for the first time this morning, and her evidence was both sensational and amusing. The jury woke up, so to spek, from the somnolent condition toward which it had been rapidly gravitating, and heard with deep interest the fair young witness say much toward clearing the defendant of the charge of willful, premeditated murder. The prosecution evidently was somewhat taken aback by the testimony, and Mr. Davis seemingly used all his skill in an effort to break down her positive usser- tions that she saw Rye draw a long knife from his hip pecket, and saw it concealed under his coat on the right side during the moments he was quarreling with Canty. During the remainder of the day evidence in rebuttal was submitted. Wm. C. Mcintire, a clerk in the patent office, Was then offered by Mr. Davis. Ob- jections brought from the prosecutor the statement that he wanted to prove by him that Rye was a man whose “bark was worse than his bite,” and that his gestures and language at the time he was shot were no more than usual with him. The judge ruled otherwise, and excused the jury so that he could state his reason; it being that had McIntire seen the shooting and then said that Rye’s actions were not un- usual, it would be competent, but not otherwise. New Witness for Defense. In opening Mr. Worthington stated that the defense had learned, after adjournment yesterday, of the whereabouts in Virginia of a new witness, who was near the Wyatt building corner at the time of the shooting. He said the witness was in court, and ke Gesired to have the testimony given. No objection was made by the district attor- ney, and the name of Miss Somerville was called. The new witness, Miss Roberta W. Som- erville, is a pretty young lady, not over nineteen, and she wore a fetching black hat, with large roses adorning it,a handsome shirt waist and a large satin necktie. She gave her evidence in a clear, resonant voice, her cheeks becoming slightly flushed as she told of the shooting. Her testl- mony was regarded as by far the most im- portant of any yet offered by the defense to prove that Rye had a knife. ow, Miss Somerville,” said Mr. Worth- ington, “tell the jury what you did on the morning of the shooting,” after the witness had replied to the vsual preliminary ques- tions. Miss Somerville, blushing, but undaunted, turned directly toward the jury, and with the most positive air gave her evidence for the defense. toward the treasury. fast, and when I got near 14th street I saw a large man and a small man on the cor- ner of 14th and F streets. They were quarreling. The small man had on a long coat. My attention was particularly at- tracted by seeing a long-bladed knife in the right hand of the small man. I did not see a pistol in the hands of the large man.” “Would you mind stating what you heard the small man sa asked Mr. Worthing- ton. Dislikes to Repent. “I'd rather not,” replied the witness, looking down in embarrassment. “He was using very rough language. He was ges- ticulating with bis left hand.” “What was he doing with his hand?” the counsel asked. “Why, he had the knife in that hand.” “P' tell the jury how the knife looked “Why, right as nearly as I could see, {t had a long blade. I couldn't see the handle. The blade was bright, and scemed about four cr five inches long. Perhaps the blade was half an inch wide—maybe wider. I am not positive.” . “Please say if this looks like the one you saw,” said Mr. Worthington, as the clerk handed her the sa’ looking knife sub- mitted in evidence as the one Rye had. c ir.” she r ‘ow, show the held by the “Really, I—’ stammeringly said the wit- ness, gingerly taking the weapon. “He held’ it in his right hand, so,” said she, bringing her white-gloved hand, clasping the hilt, down to her right side in an atti- tude of conceaiment. please step down from the box }w the relative positions of the large and small men,” said Mr. Worthington. Miss Somerville came quickly from the box into the open space back of the court stenographer, and Mr. Worthington went to her in order to assist her in the demon- stration. “Why, they were four or five feet apart, I shouid say, just this way,” she said, plac- ing herself in position toward Mr. Worth- ington. Spectators Greatly Interested. During this recital breathless interest was shown by the audience. Canty, the prison- er, with hand tigtitly clasped and brows uplifted in close attention, watched her every movemest. His wife, with reddened cheeks and parted lips, followed every turn of the testimeny, now and then glancing triumphantly toward her husband. The de- fendant's mother, sister, father and friends showed the keenest interest and frequent- ly exchanged significant glances. The jury heard her with unbroken attention and ap- peared to be very much impressed by her straightforward evidence. The counsel for the prosecution kept silent all during the testimony, but took frequent notes of the points developed. “Miss Somerville, I am very sorry, but I must ask you to repeat what you heard the smali man say,” said Mr. Davis when the witness was given to him for cross-ex- amination. “If you'd rather write it down you may do so,” said he. “I'd rather write it,’ said the witness, un- buttoning her glove and writing a few words on a sheet of paper. It was handed to counsel, but not read in court. “The morning of the shooting at 9 o'clock I went to call on my friend, Clara Mills, at Virginia avenue and 13th street,” said the witness. “She was not there and I went over to the Bradley school to find her. Afterward I went to 7th street and Mary- land avenue and took a car. Then I went to F street and paid another fare on the Metropolitan line. At F street I got a transfer, thinking to go on, but I changed my mind and walked moderately fast up F street. I had first intended to go to the Boston House, but changed my mind. As I got near the corner of 13th street I saw a crowd ahead near the corner of 14th street. I went quickly then along the north side of the street and the crowd kept increasing as I got closer. As I reached 14th street I saw the little man and the biz man quarreling. As I passed them I edged in close to the railing back of them, and as I did so 1 turned and saw the little man draw a knife out of his hip pocket. I hur- Tied, then, thinking there was going to be trouble, and soon Ivheard a shot and turn- ed. I saw the little man fall in the-street, and that is all I know about it.” Witness Cross-Examined. Mr. Davis subjected the witness to a very long and minute cross-examination. At first she was patient with him, but as he pressed question after question, seeking to trip her up, she grew restless and re- turned sharp answers, which frequently caused ripples of laughter among the audi- ence. “Silence! Silence!” cried Crier Joyce, re- inforced “by a deputy, every few minutes, but often the tartness of the fair witness’ remarks to the district attorney could not be resisted, and the laughter would con- tinue a few seconds after the gavels had sharply rapped to order, 7 ‘ The strained look passed from the faces steadfast family @nd how you saw it of Canty and his Ss 0.6 a A ring to get regular price. of the season. — --924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-706 K st. “The Dependable Store.” Best bargain day of the week. \ Tomorrow is your day—remnant day—when you are given a chance to buy for as little as we can. a rémnant is marked down to the cost point—even less in some instances.

These are mark t of da friends, and they, too, enjoyed the cross- fire between prosecutor and witness, which not infrequently put the laugh on Mr. Davis. Not once Miss Somerville trip- ped by the questions, but she answered all volubly, quickly and fully, if a little im- patiently, as the exaraination drew along toward an hour's length. She admitted she had visited the scene of the shooting before court began this morning in order to re- fresh her memory of the event. 4.188 Somerville, how far away were you when you saw the quarreling for the first time?” asked Mr. Worthington. “As I told you, about half a square away. I saw the little man shaking his finger, but I did not hear anything. I kept on, and as I passed them I went close to the railing. When I saw the knife I hurried on, but I had not hurried before that, I assure you. By that time quite a crowd had gathered.” “That is all,” said Mr. Worthington. The witness looked from Mr. Davis to the jury and then to judge. Comprehending at last, with a bright smile of relief, she went from the box and passed into the witness room. Dr. C. Ritchie Stone was then placed on the stand and very briefly stated that when Rye was shot he ran into the street, but the body had been carried into the drug store. When he got there the door was closed, but he was recognized as a physician and admitted. “I'd like to have Miss Somerville recalled in order to have her position placed on the chart,” said Mr. Worthington. “I object,” cried Mr. Davis. Mr. Silsby Testifies. In the meantime Geo. W. Silsby, a stock- broker, was placed on the etand and testi- fied that Rye called at his office the morn- ing of the shooting at about 10:30 o'clock and gave him an order to sell. The witness was interrupted to permit Miss Somerville to appear again, her recall to the stand being admitted. She pointed Out on the chart the course she traveled going up F street. She had crossed from the northeast corner of 14th and F streets. “Is there anything else you want to ask me?” she fnquired, addressing herself to Mr. Davis, GA laugh from the audience fol- lowed,and Crier Joyce again declared him- self. | « Resuming his testimony, Mr. Silsby said Rye inn ugly frame of mind when he called it hi office. Witness does not know whethg oninot it was due to the Canty affair. Ryetwas “ugly” and he had never before.weenvhim so excited. W. B. Hthbs, a stockbroker, next testi- fied that Rye had been in hi§ office that morniiig, buf he had not observed anything unusual} in Bis appearance. Evidence in Rebuttal. Berkigy. G Waller, colored, was recalled and testified that when ha saw Rye during the shijoting the latter had either his right hand or leftphand up in the air. He couldn't tell whjch. Me did not think there was any- thing in hiswnands. He did not observa any- thing, ‘although there was one hand he did not clearly see. Therefore he could not say positively that Rye did not have a knife. Colonel Akers t2stified in rebuttal that he saw the shooting, and that Rye’s hands were open and without a knife as he fell. Charles Morgan, a youth in blue sweater shirt, testified that he was a messeng2r boy. Rye was in the street at the time he fell. He raised his left hand. Morgan did rot see anything fall. 1 Ris were were. He nor did he mitted hearing some one say that thing had dropped as the body was from the ground. After recess Mr. McIntire was asked what Rye had said to him about the alter- cation he had with Canty. Objection was raised, and Mr. Davis reduced to writing @ question he desired to ask. He explained it was to show the state of Rye’s mind and that he was not atmed. Justice Cole, de- spite Mr. Davis’ rrotestations, adjourned the matter for argument tomorrow morn- ing. Detective Proctor was called, but objec- tion from Mr. Worthington sent him from the stand. He was to have testified as to his examination of the books of Gross, the dealer in firearms. Testimony Given Yesterday. The remainder of the court session yes- terday was spent, after The Star's report closed, in hearing evidence with regard to Rye’s movements on the day ‘of the shoot- ing and to rebut the testimony that Rye had a knife in his hand at the time he was Killed. Col. David Ayres said J. A. B. Cropley had come to him on the street in the forenoon, and asked him to get Rye away from F street, as he was looking for trouble. ‘The witness stated, he replied, that he could no nothing with Rye. Miss Kate D. Frye, John W. Drew, Major Dar- den, Charles Hughes, Thomas Frye, col- ored, Mrs. Annie M. Koch, Mrs. Cooper and Miss Wilber, eye witnesses of the shooting, testified ‘that they saw nothing in Ry2’s hands. ——_+—__ PROTECT COLLEGE STUDENTS. some- raised Appeal of the Non-Partisan National W. C. T. U. The general officers and a large number of national secretaries of departments and state officers of the Non-partisan National Woman's Christian Temperance Union have issued a circular letter to the presidents and faculties of American colleges urging the importance of guarding their students from the temptations of drink and vice. After expressing their appr2ciation of the work that has been done in this direction by some institutions the circular says: “But will not those that have been less watchful henceforth use their strong, unit- ed influence to the extinction of saloons and othar haunts of vice in college environs; to the banishment of intoxicating drinks from class and fraternity banquets and college receptions; to the utmost protection of stu- dent life from the temptations so fatal to young men and to the building up of a dominant principle against drink and vice. “Upon the bright, brava, manly young men in colleges and universities depend in large measure the upbuilding of society, the solution of the many great problems con- fronting the age, the best of our guidance, of our government, the bringing of the uni- versal kingdom of our Lord. For the sake of all they ought to be and to do, we urge ycur utmost endeavors for the strongest moral guardianship of your students.” ———+-— Reported at the Department.
