Mr.. Worthington was evidently angry
and Mr.. Davis red-faced and defiant took
his seat and began poring over authorities.
MIR. Shillington, for the prosecution, said
that the object of his side is to get at the
truth. He maintained that the defense
claims self-defense, and that evidence is
properly and fairly in rebuttal which goes
to show that the deceased at the time of
the homicide did not and could not have a
knife in his hand.

Rye's Son n Witness.

Another surprise was occasioned by the
calling of Guy Rye, son of the dead man.

he had appeared in court, and the audience
evinced the keenest interest in the incident.
Young Rye is apparently not over twenty

BREAKING TREES.
An Example Of the Evils of Overhead
Wires.


A crowd of passers-by stopped this morn
ing shortly after 10 o'clock to watch a
rumber of workmen raise an immense tele-
graph pole and let it slide into the hole
prepared for it near the curb on the east
side of 18th street, just north of the build
ing line of + street northwest. The hole
had been dug just midway between two of
the beautiful trees that line 18th street,
and as the immense, unsightly pole was
forced upward there was crush of limbs
and the tree to the north was virtually
ruined. Mr.. William Gait and Star re-
porter were among the spectators of this
piece of vandalism, and the Old and honor
ed citizen who has so jealousy championed
the progress of Washington could not re-
strain himself.
What an Internal outrage ne exclaim-
ed. 1T is monstrouS that such dangerous
and unsightly obstacles are allowed to be
placed in the public streets. " hen a pole
strung with wires wears out 1t should never
be permitted that another should be erected
in it's place. Now there is beautiful tree
ruined for the erection of post that Will

Mr.. Davis arose and, taking a telegram
from his inner pocket, said
Since adjournment yesterday-in fact,

following telegram addressed to me as
United States district attorney:

(Signed) 'HOUSER, Marshal
This indicates continued Mr.. Davis,
that my warrant sent by mail as well AS
my telegram of inquiry has been received"
Mr.. Thompson of counsel for defense also
stated that he had visited the home OF
Russelrs brother in this city and had been
informed that in ali likelihood the absent
witness had not gone further west than
Chicago.
Your honor, after CONSULTATION with our
client, we have decided not to press the
matter which was before you when ad-
journment was ordered yesterday" sahi
Mr.. Worthington. when or for what rea-
son We may renew the application the fu-
ture must decide. We reserve, however,
the right to do it
This brought to a close the proceedings
which seemed destined yesterday to make
the Canty case remarkable in the annals
of jurisprudence, solely by reason of the
unusual character of the motion of coun-
sci for defense for the withdrawal of u
juror and continuation of the trial.
Mr.. Van Scnden Recalled.
Mr.. w. H. Van Senden former partner of
the defendant. was then placed on the
stand. Mr.. Davis handed him copy of
The Star of March Is last and inquired:
Did you on the day of the homicide have
conversation with a reporter for The
Evening Star?'
Mr.. Van Sender carefully read the article
before him. Mr.. Worthington objected 10
the question, but IL was allowed, and then
Mr.. Davis proceeded. He specifically asked

studs. watch and chain, $f97.93 in money
and small penknife."
Mr.. Davis asked the witness how long his
father had carried the psnknife, but MT.
Worthington interrupted the answer by OBJ
1ecting, on the ground that defendants
counsel had not been notified what the dis
trict attorney purposed to prove by the wit
ness. The objection was sustained
continuing his testimony young Rye said:
The last time l saw my father was on
the Sunday before the shooting"
Again Mr.. Worthington interrupted de-
ciaring he considered the governments
case closed, and he would insist that 1t be
closed. Justice Cole again decided for the
defense, and Rye stepped from the stand.
Farther Objections by Counsel.
P. F. Hoff was called and sworn. He

Bank. He knows Canty. the defendant

continued the witness. nothing passed be-

Mr Worthington asked witness If he
would honor such a check from Canty If
presented today.
Yes, and for more, too" emphatically
responded the witness
Jury Retires Temporarily.
Mr.. Davis gave notice of his purpose to
be excused. 1t was done, and at 11:25 the
jury and witnesses retired until 1 o'clock.
Now" said Mr.. Worthngton, Il want
you to tell the court what you expect to
prove by the witness Rye's evidence"
Il am going to prove that Rye did not
have the knife on the day he was killed. /
Will show by the witness Rye. that he
was fully acquainted with his fathers per-
sonal effects on the Sunday, March 13. pre-
cedi1g the shooting, and l will show that
the dead man had no knife of the character
claimed; that he could not have bought one
between Sunday and Tuesday, and that in
deed, Rye had a revolver on his person for
certain time, but not knife except the
small penknife."
Mr.. Worthington said 1t was evidently
the purpose Of the district attorney to call
thirty or forty witnesses in rebuttal whose
evidence really and actually would reopen
the whole matter of the shooting, and
would necessitate going all over the ground
again.
Mr. WOrthinEtOn Expresses Surprise.

The attention OF the bar of the city had

lawyers were observed on every side when

spordent of the Times says:
1T is reported that Senior Sagasta, the

Spaniards respecting the conduct of the
war are expressed today by Ell Nacional as
follows:
Without plan, without purpose, with

the one advantage which the enemy's lack
Of military education gave US. We neither
boldly take the offensive, nor confine our
selves strictly to defense. Admiral Ger
vera displays a system of strategy which
warrants the belief that We are making
ready for a protracted war, so as to tire
out the enemy; but Capt Aunon, minister
of marine with his usual breeziness de-
clares that he cannot prolong the con-
