THE CARBERRY TRIAL.
fhe Weil.knOwn Story Of the
sheoting Again Rehanhed In
Court.


Yesterday afternoons session of Court
was consumed by the examination of
but two Of the States witnesses IN the
Carberry trial-Thomas McCaffer.y fore
man OF the shoe shop of the Old Ferry
rolling mill, whore the shooting occurred,
and Thomas W. Cook, an employe.
The former testified that Sam'I Adams
who was employed as an iron cutter and
hnlsher In the mill started through the
shop on his way TO work, on the morn
Ing OF April 10Th, when he was stopped
by Carberry, the watchman, who told
him he would have to go out. Adams
SAID he could not 60 out, as be had work
TO attend TO, when Carberry, said. "By
God, you have to go out" at The same
lime drawing q revolver. Ada ms stepped
ont and picked up piece of iron, saying
to Carberry as be did so, "Don't you
n1urish that revolver In my face; you've
done 1t three or -four times, and don't
want you 10 do it any more" Carberry
said, IL want you to 60 out" and Adams
replied, "l can't 60 out" whereupon
Carberry said "By God, you shall go
out" aud fired, the shot striking Adams
Ia the breast. The men then clinched
and Carberry struck Adams several
times with his hand. Adams fell to the
ground aud died almost instantly.
On cross examination McCafierty said
that men from other parts of the IN II
were not allowed to loaf in the shoe
shop, and that Adams had q right To go
cut when Carberry ordered HIM to. If
Adams was In the shoe shop without
authority 1t was Carberry's duty to put
him out. He also said that during the
encounter between the two men Adams
stepped back and pushed up his sleeves
before Carberry drew his pistol.
Thos. w. Cook, an employe testified
substantially in the same manner, except
in regard 10 the conversation between
the tive men. His recollection was
that Cai berry said. "You shan't 20
through" and Adams replied''. IL Will 20
through"
His cross examination developed
nothing new, and at its concl usion, 6. 80
O'Clock no more witnesses were called,

THE PENSION BILL DECEPTION
A Halt Called For.

From the Phila. Press.
In view of tho astonishing growth of
our pension list, it may fairly be ques-
toned whether the principal European
Countries are alone in the maintenance
of an enormous army expenditure. The
latest official publications show that the
annual expenditure for army mainten-
ance of the three principal European
countries Is as follow: France, 500,
600, 900; German Empire. $4,000, 900;
Great Britain, $74 $4,000. The annual
cost of our army proper has averaged
$40, 100000 since 1865, and this is about
the rate of expenditure DOW. II the
army of pensioners is to be included, the
yearly outgo for both the active and pen
sion list foots up in round numbers $97,-
900 900. This exceeds by $50, ,000, 900
the annual expenditure of Great Britain,
including pension roll. And now the
Commissioner of Pensions announces q
deficit of at least $40, ,000,0 900 in the PEN
sion payments the present year. If this
is to be allowed, as it must undoubtedly
be our annual military expenditure will
exceed by some $4,000, 600 that OF
France. Before the passage of the Ar
rears of Pensions bill the greatest
amount expended in any one year on ac-
count of pensions was S34, AS, 900, this
in 1871. The total amount appropriated
for pensions since the close of the war 10
in excess OF $500, 100000. Surely we
have been abundantly liberal. Is 1t not
time to call halt?

Gufioau's Trial.

Guiteau made another statement In
court yesterday, explaining that his
object in interrupting the lawyers and
the witnesses was to correct misstats-
ments of facts, he himself desiring al
the facts to go before the jury. He
reasserted that the Lord inspired his
act, and warned Gfl cranks to keep
away from him under penalty Of I'M
slant death. He also. threatened his
divorced wife with exposure II she
testified against him.
A large share of the testimony re-
lated to The eccentricities Of the assss-
sims father. Mr.. Scoville brought out
the fact that he fully accepted the
views of the Oneida Community. Most
of the anecdotes told of him by two
Western lawyers, who appeared as
witnesses for the defence, related to
his odd notions on religious subjects.
One of these witnesses, on cross exam
inat;on, admitted that he had assisted
Mr.. bcoville In the management Of
the defence. The other principal
witness was Charles A. Reed, who
had been States Attorney in Chicago,
where he was acquainted with
Guiteau. He said he considered the
witness's mind unbalanced, but had
regarded him as harmless. This wit
ness was sharply cross-examined.
Guiteau emphatically contradicted the
witness concerning an interview with
him about the Paris Consulate.
Guiteau became so troublesome that
judge Cox at last threatened to have
him gagged unless he stopped inter-
rupting the proceedings. But Guiteau
was not to be suppressed, and he con-
tinued his Interruptions, declaring
that he rested his defense on the Deity
and didn't want any lying.
