SAFE BURGLARY TRIAL.
The safe burglary trial was resumed
to-day. Whitley, who has been absent
since Friday, was In the court room,
which was unusually crowded. Riddle
resumed his argument, recapitulating q
lew OF tho last paragraphs OF his argu.
ment OF yesterday 10 refresh the minds
Of the jury. In the course oi his argu.
ment he alluded to the testimony OF
Smaller and to the statement Of the other
side, that Shailer was dismissed because
he would not swear to these kilograms
referred to by Harrington, and said he
would go out OF the pale oil the testimony
as the defence did, and say that Smaller
was dismissed because he was attacked
in the corridor Of the Treasury by the
outraged mother Of young lady whom
he had seduCed.
This statement brought Harrington,
DAvidge and Smithera 70 their feet, and
they protested against such q statement.
The Judge called them 10 order. Pro.
tests and confusion continuing, the Judge
called on Deputy Marshal Phillips 10
quell the disturbance. When the counsel
had been made to sit down, the Judge
said such conduct and such Language
would not certainly intimidate him.
Riddle, interrupliDg-"Nor me either"
Davidge said Riddles statement was
not In the testimony, and Harrington said
he denied II as point Of fact.
Riddle said he expressly stated that he
went out Of the path OF the evidence pur.
posely, because the other side did.
DAvldge-ShRiler did testify that he
was dismissed on account OF not saying
the telegrams meant Harrington.
The Judge continually directed the
counsel TO pause and sit down, and at.
tempted to give his recollection Of the
evidence, when Riddle, interrupting him,
said, II don't propose to pursue that point
any further, your Honor"
HGrrington-You had better back out
of 1t.
Mr.. Davidge, somewhat excited, said,
Then you Honor will not rule on this
point?'
Judge-sit down, Mr.. Davldge. OBJ
ject to such defiant manner and language,
and don't propose to allow 1t. Riddle
will confue himself to tho testimony.
The judge added, with some feeling,
"GentIemen, II there ia to be any laugh
ing or sneering in this case, don't want
the gentlemen 10 sit here aud do II In my
face, nor in the face OF this jury. Go on
now, Mr.. Riddle"
Davidge-Will your Honor allow me
to note an exceptionI
Judge-No, not now.
Davidge-Will you allow me to offer
to note an exception
Judge-Go on now, Mr. Riddle. And
Riddle proceeded uninterrupted!y until
recess
After recess Mr.. Riddle continued his
argument till four o'clock, when court
adjourned till tomorrow. Riddle will

this morning, and with the exception OF
a few minutes, did not appear again dur
ing the day.
