In recognition Of this general public de-

MAGNESS TRIAL DELAYED.
Court-Martial Postponed, But De-
serter Hopes for Hearing Soon.

PHILADELPHIA. November 5.-Mrs.
Ada German Magness, the wealthy wife
of Charles Magness. imprisoned in the
brig Of the receiving ship Lancaster at
League Island on the charge of deserving
from the United States Navy. in which
he was enlisted as a musician. was at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard yesterday
morning to attend his trial.
This was expected to take place be-
fore the court-martial which has been
sitting in the administration building
there for several days. But the judge
advocate general. Capt. John G. Muir,
was suddenly ordered to Washington on
special duty, and the trial of the remain
ing cases was postponed.
Mrs. MagneSs, however, went aboard
the Lancaster. Her husband was brought
up on deck under charge of a master-at-
arms. The couple sat on a bench and
talked under the watchfuI eyes Of jackies.
There are thirty-fve prisoners In all
to be tried. In the regular course of
events their cases would come up ahead
OF that of Magness. putting his trial off
by the prisoner that the authorities in
Washington will change the order. so
that he can be tried as soon as the court
reconvenes.
1t was stated in Admiral Pendleton's
Office that rumors that Mrs. Magness
would be charged with aiding in de-
sertion were ridiculous. as such an ac-
cusation would be impossible. After
about a half hours talk with her hus-
band Mrs. Magness left the yard, re-
fusing to tell her destination.
