CAN'T SECURE A CONTINUANCE
RYDER's LAWYERS STILL VAINu.Y
FIGHTING FOR DELAY.

Insanity the Leading Contention of
the Defense-ReIntivesO of the Pris-
Oner Testify That They Have Long
Looked Upon Him ns Mentally Un-
bnIaneed-Onc of the Witnesses for
the Defense Caught in n Railway
Wreck.
Talbotton. Ga, Sept. 19.-At the opening
Of court this morning Dr. Ryder occu-
pied the witness stand about an hour.
Mrs. Victoria Macarthur, his sister, and
Mrs. Ryder his mother, were also ex-
amined. They testified to the unsound-
ness of DR.. Ryder's mind. They said he
had been gloomy and distracted, had
suffered intensely with his head since a
child, screamed with pain, and Mrs. r.
A. Ryder thought his mind unbalanced.
but was sure he knew right from wrong.
AT noon another motion for continu-
ance was offered by the defense on ac-
count of DIR. Felix Johnston, a witness for
the defense, having been caught in a
railway wreck, while leaving court with
out permission.
Mr. Lawson testified under oath that
DR.. Felix Johnston had told him on the
eve of leaving town that what he knew
was worth nothing to Ryder.
The court overruled the motion and
ordered the testimony to proceed.
Mr.. Sealy Of Butler thought Ryder's
mind wrong in some way. He had board
ed with him. He acted strangely some-
times. He thought he knew right from
wrong. Schofield was inoarcerated in the
Macon jail at the same time as Ryder,
and occupied the sape cell three months.
He testified that Ryder had curious ways.
He said he tried once to dash his brains
out against the wall. schoheld was in
for simple larceny.
Mr.. Cousins swore that Ryder appeared
to be insane. On the occasion OF Mr..
Cousins three visits to Jail he saw him
through the bars. Ryder's expression was
wild and his general appearance remind
ed him OF the general appearance Of Mr.
Cousins aunt, who was temporarily in
sane. Mr.. Cousins had the care Of his
aunt for three months.
Dr. Felix Johnson is one of the four
witnesses so conspicuous in delaying the
progress OF the great case early In the
week. Several hours were spent in a vain
endeavor to secure a continuance because
DIR. Johnson and three other witnesses
could not come. Suddenly yesterday
morning DIR. Felix johnson appeared in
court. The testimony elicted on the stand
to-day proved that he begged the defense
to examine and release him that he might
return to his sick wife, They deferred.
and he left on the next train, without per-
mission from the court or the attorneys.
His train was derailed and he was bad
ly hurt.
At 4 o'clock. court adjourned to meet
Monday at o'clock.
The prisoner Is still sick.

The Case Against Her Captain on
Trial mt Wilmington.

Wilmington, Del. Sept. 19.-The case of
Edward Murphy, captain of the steamer
Iaurada, came before United States Com
missioner Smith this morning.
H. II. Ward opened the case in a brief
argument, contending that the warrant
under the arrest as made was defective.
Jacob f. Bryne of Philadelphia, GUS
toms officer testified to the Laurada get
ting clearance papers for San Antonio and
withdrawing them and clearing for Will
mington. Collector Townsend testified to
the clearance of the boat from this port.
George Crowley colored, who had been
a steward on the steamer Bermuda, testi-
fed that he was engaged by John d. Hart,
who is present here with Capt Kerr, as a
seaman for the Laurada. When the boat
was OFF Barnegat a steam launch with
Gen. Ruloff and twenty-four men, came
aboard and the tug Richard X. Fox came
out with lighter loaded with packages
II took several hours to transfer the cargo
to the steamer. Five yawl boats were also
taken on board. The packages taken from
the lighter contained rifles and cartridges
and two cannon. The men taken on had
a number of canvas bags.
When the witness got to the point where
the vessel was sighted off Navassa, a dis
pute arose between Senator Gray and Dis
trict Attorney Vandegrift as to the ad-
INSTABILITY of certain evidence. The witt
ness said that one of the men who came
off from the Fox had said his father and
brother had been killed in Cuba, and he
was going there to fight.
A pilot had come on board from the
Fox. OF Navassa the Dauntless came
to the Laurada and took off all the men,
but four, and lot of boxes and two
yawl boats were taken on in the Della
ware river
The Dauntless returned and got the rest
of the boxes and the other four men,
three of whom were in chains. The
Dauntless then left, and when she ie-
turned one of the crew told the witness
that the material had been safely landed
in Cuba. The Laurada then coaled at
Navassa and went TO San Antonio.

ENGLAND's CABINET.
A Series of Councils to Begin the
Middle of October.

London, Sept. ia series of cabinet
councils will begin about the middle of
October, continuing with the needful in
tervals till the end Of November. Parlia-
ment. according to ministerial arrange
ments, made prior to the recess, will re-
sumo on or about Jan. 10. The measures
which the ministers have to discuss in
clude revised education bill, a military
works bill and probably an Irish local
government measure.
The return to Constantinople Of Sir
Philip Currie, the British ambassador to
Turkey, has not yet resulted I'm any public
developments of a startling nature. The
Globe and other English papers which at
first threw doubt upon the statement
that Lord Salisbury had determined TO
take independent action against the sui
tan in the event OF further massacres,
now admit that there are signs Of "a
stronger British policy" which will ven-
ture far in direct coercion of the porte. Il
must be confessed. however that this pol
lev seems slow of application.

NIT the fact that an indictment had been
found against Corbett and Fitzsimmons

the indictment. 1t was not he said, how
ever, always necessary for him TO sign a
warrant after an Indictment was found,
and that the clerk of the general sessions
court sometimes signed a warrant of
arrest.
Acting District Attorney Mcintyre also
denied that he had been before the grand
jury in the matter, as reported, or had
collected any evidence in the case. He
said the first he knew of the case was
when he heard of 1t this morning. He said
he did not know whether an indictment
had been found or not. He thought the
report of the alleged indictment came
from police headquarters.
