Threats Against Canty.
The testimony as to the threats alleged
TO have been made by Rye against Canty
was given during the early part of the
day.
Mr. Maddux, who testified during the
early part of the week, was recalled
to give evidence as 10 threats made BY
Rye in September, 1897. District Attorney
Davis objected as 1t was too remote.
The court overruled the objection and
the witness was told TO repeat the threats.
Mr.. Maddux said If he was to repeat the
language of Rye the ladies would have 10
leave the room. The court asked the la
dies to retire, and the witness then pro-
ceeded to repeat what Rye had said about
/. Canty. 1t was in effect that Canty owed
him (Rye) money, and he was going to
have it or cut his heart out The other
language repeated by the witness is un-
fit for publication.
Mr.. Maddux stated that Rye had made
threats against Canty on another occasion
and he had warned Canty of what had
been said. He also said he had played
cards with Rye but not with Canty.

titled: Il know Canty and knew Rye"
