dered His Efforts UBavaiiing-A
Large Crowd Present

of the big guns in the sporting fraternity
to this city. Among the most prominent

the first rounds, and was punished ter
ribly by the Kid. who closed the Akron
boys right eye in the third round.
The fourth fifth and sixth rounds saw
Mccoy shoot his right and left with
great force into Gus's face and caused
blood to. flow from eye. nose and mouth.

rather tame. compared with the fierce
fighting of the previous ones. Rubin
rushed Mccoy, but could not hit him
with much force.

uouSiy ana was taxing no chanceS- The
next saw the Kid chase Gus to q corner

AGAINST THE DEFENDANT
Only One Witness Testified Fa-
TOrabIy to Canty Yesterday.
A PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE
CRnty VIII Claim That He Was At
tackled by Rye-The Defense
-GOEernmcat Testimony Nearly
All histories Told by Witnesses.

The prepondsrance of testimony offered
yesterday by the Government in the trial
of Dennis J. Canty. who is charged in
Criminal Court No ! with the murder Of
George NJ Rye, in March last, was
against the defendant. There was one
witness. however. Walter c. White, whose
testimony was totally at variance with
all the others In fact his testimony was
so positively contradictory of the other
witnesses that it startled all who heard
it. Whites version of the shooting was
the ozly evidence adduced which tended
TO support the plea Of self-defense which
the defendant win make.
Another part of the proceedings favora-
BILE TO the defendant was a ruling made
by Judge Cole Immediately on the con-
vening Of the court yesterday morning.
The last witness on the stand on Thurs
day. IL viii be remembered, was Mr..
Rhodes, who had just arrived at that
point in his testimony when he was de-
failing what occurred when some one
cried out, don't let him get away and
was about to give Canty's reply, when the
district attorney objected. on the ground
that what the defendant said at that
time was not part Of the res gestae.
The objection was sustained.
On the reassembIing of the court yes
terday and before the examination of
witnesses Judge Cole stated that on fur
ther consideration he had decided TO let
ths defendants answer go to the jury
and ordered Mr.. Rhodes recalled 10 the
stand.
The question as to what Mr.. Canty said
was then asked by Mr.. Worthington. and
the answer was:
n I'm not going to try TO get away"
= Shortly before the hour of adjourn
ment the defense scored another point. In
the early part Of the day Mr.. L. C. Mat
ringly, in concluding his testimony, stated
that when he went up TO Canty after the
shooting there was a man standing by
him who wore a blouse, to whom the de-
feudant said something and to which the
man in the blouse replied. Mr.. Davis OBJ
Jected to this testimony.
AS soon as the last witness had tesd-
fed. the jurors We're excluded from the
court room and the question of the de-
fendant and the reply Of the man in the
blouse were ordered inserted as part of
the record Of the trial.
The question and answer were:

Rye when he sank to the ground. After
the fourth shot, he took four or five I'M
certain steps toward the Ebbitt House
before he fell. He sank gradually In
heap. After the firing Canty stepped
down from the curb and walked leisurely
along f Street west, ten or twelve steps.
He saw that he put his pistol in his right
trousers pocket.
On cross examination the witness stated
he had been walking on E Street with
friend and separated from him at the
Wyatt corner. He then stated that on
account of the smoke he could see Rye
more plainly than he could see Canty.
Mr. Mattingly was then asked to indicate
with a pencil tap the intervals between
the four shots.
In doing this he allowed a longer in
terval to elapse between the shots than
any other witness. He, however, said tc
his ear the longest interval lapsed be-
tween the second and third shots. At the
time of the firing of the fourth shot Rye's
back was to Canty.
After the firing he went up to Canty
and put his hand on his arm. He did not
act like a man wanting to run away. He
then turned toward Rye; there was a
crowd round Rye and al that time he had
not been removed. When he laid his hand
on Canty there was man wearing a
blue blouse there too.
He described the man as about thirty
five years old. unkempt and weighing
about 145 pounds. That man stated what
he saw of the shooting. This was before
Rye's body was moved. He did not see
Mr.. Rye throw up his hands at any time.
Walter C. White, clerk at 1923 + Street
stated that he knew the defendant, Can
ty On the day of the shooting he pas

saw Canty standing on the corner of F
and Fourteenth Streets talking TO a man.
He saw Rye coming from the direction
of Fifteenth Street.
He heard Mr.. Canty speak to Rye.
Then he said to Rye: You owe me 5000
Rye replied "You are liar" Canty then
put his hand back He thought he was
going 10 strike Rye. but he pulled pistol
and fired. Rye was on the pavement
about six feet from Canty while the shots
were fired After the shooting Rye walk
ed out into the street fifteen feet before
he fell. Rye's hands were in his pockets
when the firing began. The witness was
not cross-examined-
Edward Hardy, colored. testified that at
the time OF the shooting of Rye he was
standing on the northeast corner of + and
Fourteenth streets. The man who was
shot was IN the roadway and the man
who did the shooting was on the pave
ment. Rye began to stagger back after
the first shot and had gone ten or fifteen
feet before he fell. Rye was six or eight
feet from the curb. when the first shot
was fired.
Washington II. Tolen, the next wit
ness. stated that he was on f Street, west

ran into the roadway. He did not see the

not reached the corner when the shoot
ing had ceased He did not see the man

ton was attracted by firing, and. turning,
he saw persons running toward the Eb-
bitt House. and, looking back at the
Wyatt Building, he saw the man shooting
and the man being shot at. The latter
was about fifteen feet from the curb.
Witness heard three or four shots. Mr.
Hopkins then indicated the rapidity with
which the shots were fired by tapping
on desk with a pencil. When he got

Walter d. Davidge. a lawyer, the next
