INCIDENTS OF THE DAY During the recess in the Canty trial today Mrs. Canty dressed her husband, whil> he waited in the cell below Criminal Court No. 1, in the suit of clothes which he wore when he shot George Rye, and, wearing them, he later went before the jury and showed them how he hed carried the pistol in the front pocket instead of the hip pocket on the day of the homicide. Canty bore the ordeal without flinching, and it afforded the only strong dramatic in- cident In a day d2voted to the final ad- dresses to the jury. Although the reason Canty gave for carrying the weapon in that pecket was that the other too small, it was demonstrated today that the weapon cculd enter th> hip pocket as well as the front pocket. The Prayers Granted. Justice Cole, at the opening of court this merning, announced his decision with re- Bard to the prayers of counsel. Those for the prosecution which were granted are: 1. It is a conceded fact in this case that the defendant shot and killed the deceased at the time and place and with the weapon described in’ the indictment; the question to be determined by the jury upon the evi- dence is whether such killing was criminal or excusable. The prosecution claims that it was criminal and the defendant claims that it was excusable. Murder is the of- fense with which the defendant is charged, and this offense is committed when a per- son of sound memory and discretion un- lawfully and feloniously kills a human be- ing in the peace of the United States with malice aforethought, either express or im- plied; and, accordingly, if the jury find from the evidence, beyond a_ reasonable doubt, that the defendant killed the de- ceased without just provocation or excuse. as hereafter defined, the law defines mal- ice in the killing, and the defendant should be found guilty as indicted. Self-Defense. The defense in the case is self-defense, which exists when one without fault in bringing on thé encounter is assailed or threatened with assault by another under such circumstances as furnish reasonable ground for apprehending a design to take the life of the former, or to do him some great bodily harm, and there is reasonable ground for believing the danger imminent that such design will be accomplished, in which case the one assailed may safely act upon the appearance and kill the as- sailant if that be necessary to avold the apprehended danger, but not otherwise; and, accordingly, if the jury find from the evidence that the defendant was so assailed or threatened with assault, and under such circumstances killed the deceased, but not otherwise, the jury should acquit the de- fendant; but the jury is further instructed that the killing of the deceased by the de- fendant is not excused by the mere fact that the defendant claims he was so as- sailed or threatened and that he believed himself to be in the danger assumed, and if the jury believe from the evidence that the defendant did not have reasonable ground to apprehend such danger, and did not, in fact, honestly apprehend it, but acted upon alleged appearances at the time of the killing without reasonable ground for such apprehension, and not believing that such alleged appearances really indicated or imported such danger, but intending to avail himself of the same only as a pre- tended excuse for the killing, the defend- ant {s guilty, as though no such appear- ances existed, and the jury should so find. The Use of Words. 2. The use merely of words, no matter how offensive or insulting. does not justify an assault by the person to whom they are used upon the person using them, neither does the threatened use of such words on future occasions justify such assault; the jury is accordingly instrusted that if it sball find from the evidence the deceased, on the day preceding the killing, had used offensive and insulting words to the de- fendant on the public street and in the hearing of persons standing by and pass- ing, and had threatened to use similar words to the defendant, in the presence and hearing of the public. whenever and wherever he might subsequently meet the defendant, and should further find that when the deceased and the defendant met on the day of the killing, the defendant believed that the deceased then, and pur- suant to such threat, intended to repeat such offensive and {nsulting words in the hearing of persons present, and that the defendant either in anger at such use and threatened use of such offensive and in- sulting words, or to prevent the repetition thereof, or for both reasons, and not in self-def as alré defined, shot the deceased, intending to kill him or to do him great bodily harm, such circumstanc>s alone afford no excuse for such shooting, and the jury should find the defendant guilty as indicted. Offensive and Insulting Language. he jury is instructed that the use of words, no matter how offengive or insulting; does not justify an assault by the person to whorn they are used upon the person using them, and similarly that the threatened use of such words does not jus- tify such assault. ‘The jury is accordingly instructed that if ft find, from idenc that at the time of the fatal encounter be tween the defendant and the deceased the a d usd to the defendant offensive nd insulting lang without any act or demonstration or movement aceomp: the and indicating bis present ri ness purpose to inflict upon the dc- fendant either death or great bodily harm, the defendant not justified in ing the deceased, whether for the purpose of chastisement or to take his life; and if the jury find trom the evidence that ur the circum c sumed, the defen in anger y the deceased of such offensive or insulting words alone, took the Ite of the deceased, and not in self-defense, as already detined, the detendant is guilty as indicted, and the jury should so find. And the defendant is so guilty, notwith- standing that the jury should further find from the evidence that the deceased had on his person a deadly weapon, without mak- ing any demonstration which afforded the defendant reasonable grounds to believe, and upon which grounds the defendant in good faith believed, that the deceased in- tended to take his Ife or to do him great bodily harm. Defendant's Rights. 4. When a person is unlawfully assailed by another he has the right to defend him- self against his assailant and to use suffi- cient force to make his defense effectual. But the law never permits the unnecessary use of force; wherefore, when a man is as- sailed he must not use force to defend him- self if he can otherwise reasonably protect himself, and if he has other means and ways of avoiding the assault that appear to him at the time sufficient and available, and are in fact sufficient and available he must resort to them and cannot justify the us2 of force ror his defense, for in that case its use would be unnecessary. Accordingly, if the jury should find from the evidence that the defendant was, in fact, assaulted by the deceased and had other ways and means of avoiding the assault than a re- sort to force, which ways and means ap- peared to the defendant at the time to be and, in fact. were sufficient and available, and the defendant yet did not resort to such ways and means, the killing of the deceased was not excusable and the defend- ant should be convicted. But by this is not meant that the defendant was required to resort or to attempt to resort to any such ways and means unless the same really seemed to him sufficient and available and were so in fact, or if by attempting to re- sort to them the danger to the defendant would thereby be Increased. The Reasonable Doubt. 5. The defendant should not be convicted unless the jury is satisfied from the evi- dence of his guilt beyond a reasonable ditior of mind resulting from a considera- tion of the evidence beSpre the jury as makes it impossible for the jury as reason- able men to arrive at aysatisfactory con- clusicn; and it is not a consciousness that a conclusion arrived at-may possibly be erroneous, but arises out of such a state of mind as deprives the $ary of the ability to reach a conclusion that {s satisfactory. Accordingly, the jury is fnstrutted that if the evidence be to the minds of the jury of such a convincing cHaracttr that the jurors would unhesitatingly be governed by it in their own weighty and important mat- ters of life they may be said to have no reasonable doubt, notwithstanding the un- certainty which ‘attends all Humane: dence; and, accordingly, if after an impar- tial comparison and consideration of all the evidence the jury can say that it has an abiding conviction of the defendant's guilt such as the jury would be willing to act upon in the more weighty and import- ant matters relating to their own affairs, they have no reasonable doubt and should convict the defendant. False Testimony. 6. If the jury find from the evidence that any witness in the case, whether for the presecution or for the defense, has testified falsely to a fact in respect of which such witness cannot be presumed liable to mis- take, the jury may, In its discretion, wholly disregard the testimony of such witness and every such in the case. Prayers of Defense. The defendants’ prayers, which were granted, are: 1. The jury are instructed that the de- fendant is presumed to be innocent of the offense for which he is on trial, and that he is entitled to a verdict of not guilty, un- less upon all the evidence the jury are sat- isfled of his guilt beyond a reasonable ie If the jury find from the evidence that Rye, by his words and acts prior to the day he was killed, and on that day immediately before the shooting, caused the defendant at the time of the shooting to believe in good faith, and upon reasonable ground, that he, Rye, was about to make a deadly assault upon the defendant, then the jury are Instructed that the defendant had the right to use all necessary means to defend himself against such apprehended assault. 3. If the jury find from’ the evidence that the deceased, Rye, just before the shooting which resulted in his death, approached the defendant in such a way as caused the de- fendant in good faith to-believe, and gave him reasonable grounds to believe, that Rye was about to make a deadly assault upon him, then the defendant was justified in acting upon that bellef, even though it should appear as matter of fact that Rye was not armed at the time. Reasonable Grounds of Belief. 4. If the jury find from the evidence that the defendant had reasonable ground to believe, and did believe, that an assault might be made upon him by the deceased by which his life would be put in danger, or he would be in danger of great bodily harm, he had the right to arm himself for the purpose of protecting himself against such assault; and if such assault was made upon him, he had the right to protect him- self against it, even to the taking of the life of his assailant, under the circum- stances described in the other instructions of the court. 5. The jury are instructed that in deter- mining whether the defendant in taking the Ife of Rye acted in good faith under a reasonable apprehension that he was in danger of losing his own iffe, oF of suffering great bodily harm at the hands of Rye, they should take into consideration, along with the other evidence,in the case, any threats which the jury ‘shall’ be satisfied from the evidence Rye Had niade against the defendant which had been communi- cated to the defendant. 3 6. The jury are instrucfed that In deter- mining whether Rye at’ the ‘time of the shooting which resulted in” his death made, or undertook to make, & deadly as- ault upon the defendant, they should con- der, along with the other evidence in the case, any threats which they Shall be sat- isfied from the evidencé Rye had made against the defendant, wheth#r communi- cated to the latter or not. a The seventh prayer offéted bf the defense was rejected. Ls Granted as Modified. 8. If upon all the evidence imthe case the jury entertain a reagonable doubt as to whether the defendant shot and killed Rye under the belief, in good faith, and upon reasonable grounds that 1t was necessary to do so to prevent Rye from killing him, or doing him great bodily harm, then their Verdict should be for the defendant. (Rejecied as offered, und given as modified. Exception to modification.) (The ninth prayer was rejected.) 10. If the jury, upon the considzration of all the evidence, have a reasonabl> doubt whether the defendant fired the fatal shot in self-defense, as that has been heretofore defined, the defendant should be acquitted. li. If the jury find from all the evidence that the defendant at the tim: he shot the deceased had reasonable ground to believe, and did in good faith believe, that he was in danger of losing his own life, or of suf- fering great bodily harm, froin an assault by the deceased, actual or in good faith ap- prehended, their verdict should be not guilty If the jury find from the evidence that the deceaszd made an assault upon the de- fendant with the knife that has been ex- hibited in the trial of this case, and was so near to the defendant at the time that the defendant had reasonable ground to be- lieve, and did believe, that to re:reat would place his life in peril, or place him in dan- ker of great bodily harm, he was not bound to retreat, but might at once shoot the da- ceased. 13. While abusive words or epithets alone will not justify the taking of life, yet any words or epithets that may have been prov- ed to have been used by deceased toward the defendant are proper to be considered by the jury and should be considered in cornection with all the ether evidence in the cas in determining whether the defend- ant acted in self-defense or not, as self-de- fense has been defined. The Opening Address. Joseph H. Polkinhorn was placed on the stand by direction of the court, and briefly stated that he was in Pawnbroker Grose’s store sixteen manths ago, and saw a man whom he thought to be half-witted buy a revolver and depart without the clerk ob- taining his name until reminded of the failure by the witness. The clerk he yes- terday identified as Mr. Middaugh, who is row in charge of the pawnshop. Then, at 10:35, Mr. Shillington arose and braced lis shoulders and expanded his lungs for the task of delivering the first or opening adaress to the jury. Crier Joyce called in the jury and the large au- dience settled down in their seats in at- tentive attitudes. As the sun rose higher the heat became oppressive, and few breezes strayed into the court room. Mr. Shillington’s faee was bathed in per- spiration as he began, His collar wilted as he proceeded, and his golor ,grew redder and redder under the prgssuye of his for- cible delivery. He spoke.at first slowly, de- Mberately and emphaticajly, pausing occa- sionally to drain a glass gf wager. “It wes willful, deliberate, intentional murder,” he cried, as he;reached the point in his address succeeding the analytical srcundwork of the argument. , “You never Leard, gentlemen of the jury,,,nor have I, nor has any one heard,,a mpn who has equipped himself for myrder,; when he is himself attacked, utterany ,such cry as ‘Murder!’ ‘Murder!’ ‘Murder!’ the one which fell from Rye's lpg. as ke dropped in the street.” ae At this point Mrs. Canty abruptly left the room. She was not fo bé'found later around the court house,’ #ttd it was believed she had gone nome to getsthe trousers worn by her husband on the day. “It wes murder—I knaw it jwas,” thun- Gered the speaker. “Taé evittence shows that Rye was shot eithér while with his back turned cr while he was breaking away from the assassin.’* Canty Pays Strict Attention. Canty sat bolt upright, losing ino word and not flinching as the torrent of denun- clation broke from the prosecutor. Once in a while he smiled as he caught the eye of an acquaintance in the room. He looked rather curiously at Dr.. Mary Walker when she, dressed in long black Prince Albert coat, with patriotic emblem on the lapel, strode between the spectators and seated herself between his mother and father at his right, in the chair left vacant by Mrs. Canty. Dr. Mary remained only a moment, and Mr. Shillington pauséd as she left the room, while the audience interestedly watched her retreating form. 4 The jury heard Mr. Shillington in atti- tudes that bespoke their deep interest in fan as he sat facing the speaker. Weapon Fits Pockets. After recess Mrs, Canty’s mission became apparent. She had hurried home, procured the suit of clothes her husband wore on the day of the homicide, and upon returning he was arrayed in them while he was be- low in the cells. Canty was then called to the stand by District Attorney Davis. and was asked to place the revolver in both pockets, in order to show to the jury the facility with which it could be done. Calmly, and s if undisturbed by wear- ing the suit which clothed him when took another's life, Canty stepped around to the stand, took his weapon from Clerk Gatley and slipped it into front and hip pockets. It went into both without diffi culty. The suit fs a dark cutaway of winter weight, and it and the heat of the room together caused Canty to feel uncomforta- bly warm, as evidenced by his use of a fan during the remainder of the day. Mr. Shillington continued his dissection of the evidence and occasionally diverted in order to denounce the act of Canty as a murder, cold-biooded and unprovoked. Still the jury gave no signs of wilting, although, after recess, the crowd in the room had either run away or melted away. NICELY FIXED AT TAMPA District Volunteers Pleased With Their New Camping Ground. Tents Spread Within One Hundred Yards of Salt Waves — Clothes Washed in Florida Water. A letter received in Washington today from a member of the District regiment in- dicates that the men are nicely fixed at Tampa, so far as camp surroundings are concerned. The beauties of the situation were not greatly enhanc2d, of course, by the long, hot, dusty trip'on the cars which the regiment was forced to make from Chicka- mauga, but the description furnished by the letter would lead those in Washington who have friends or relatives in the reg!- ment to think that it fs pretty well cared for just now at the southern extremity of Florida. The letter stat2s, among other things: “We arrived here (Tampa) yesterday af- ternoon, after a four days’ trip on the cars, and went into camp about 200 yards from the railroad station. We soon had our dog tents pitched and the regiment en- camped in fairly good shape. Of course you know what a dog tent is—two pieces of can- vas buttoned together and held up by two small poles, each tent accommodating two men; but they make a good shelter from the rain and protection against the blaz- ing sun. The weather, however, #0 far, has been much cooler than at Chickamauga; everything, in fact, is much pleasanter here than at our former camping ground. “Our camp is within a hundred yards of the salt water and the bathing Is fine, cs- pecially after the great scarcity of such fa- cilities both at Camp Alger and at Camp Thomas. Fresh drinking water is obtained from pip2s at the end of our street. Our situation reminds me very forcibly of Old Point Comfort. Rumors Affont. “The general impression in the regiment is that our stay here will be short, espe- cially as the pay rolls are being made out. Rumors of all descriptions are afloat, how- ever, and it is hard to get at the truth or the foundation of any of the reports. We all have hopes that our destination is to be Porto Rico, but wherever we go we are go- ing to do our level best. “The boys of the band have just arrived and there is much rejoicing. The addition will tend to enliven things considerably. The boys of our company seem to be pretty well broken into camp iife and all are be- ginning to feel the benefit of this out-of- door life. We are having great practice in loading, sighting and firing, and the drills have Improved the command a great deal in this regard.”” The letter also states that the men in the regiment are thoroughly in accord with their officers, and that they are capable of upholding’ the positions in which they have been placed with a great amount of success. Typical Southern Town. Continuing, the writer says: “This place 's a typical southern town, everything in it indicating an indisposition on the part of its inhabitants to active ex- ertion. The streets are of suft sand, prob- ably one or two feet deep. We are thank- ful we were not obliged to march far after leaving the train, for one generally makes two feet forward and one back at every step. We have seen many strange and in- teresting sights since leaving Chickamauga, and the trip will be invaluable to us boys. One of the pecullar sights is the trees, nearly all of which are covered with long hanging moss, the effect being picturesque in the extreme. “I witnessed an interesting sight this morning, when an immensed rove of burros, small donkeys, passed through camp, dri en by cowboys. They were on their way to the corral, where thousands of United States horses and mules are kept, making other feature for the sightseer to lo- cate. I have seen also two peculiarly south- ern products—the little wood-burning loco- motives that seem to be going at least six- ty miles an hour, judging by the noise, but which are really making about four, and the razor-back hog. “There are several advantages connected with the camp, which were not to be noted at Chickamauga.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta In the extract from the San Francisco Chronicle, which you published a few day: ago, in regard to Senator White's opposi- ‘tion to the annexation of the Hawaiian Is lands, it was stated, and citation of facts was made which confirmed its statement, that the sentiment of California is over- whelmingly in favor of the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. If Senator White cannot vote for annexation without violat- ing his judgment and conscience, woulg it not seem sufficient to satisfy both if he voted against annexation? Is it not an ex- cess of zeal in defying the overwhelming opinion of his state to employ methods, which he threatens to do, that he has con- demned in his speech on the reform of the rules of the Senate? He must, indeed, place great stress upon his own judgment if he is ready to go to an extreme he has censured to defeat a measure that an over- whelming majority of the people of his state approve and which the legislature that elected him indorsed. It is excess of zeal. OBSERVER. June 8, 1898. . ee $1.00 To Baltimore and Return via Pennsylvania Railroad.
