It Seems Probable the Po'imiap Rec- tor AViJI Go to' iVorfoHc. The announcement , that St. Luke's Episcopal church, ;of Norfolk, has ex- tended a second call to Rev. \V. A. -Barr, rector, of Monumental' church, in this city, -and that the call will probably be. accepted, will be received "with regret by his congregation and. the community at larse. : When a reporter Tor the Dispatch called at the rectory last evening, the letter making the eair had.not bsen re- ceived, but was expected by. the next mail.. The vestry of St. Luke's met yester- day morning and .unanimously. 'decided to extend the call. Mr. Barr had hearcV in- directly that St. Luke's would! repeat the call, which was first made last year. Although he declined at that time, he has known all winter that; the Norfolk con- gregation had- not abandoned the idea of securing him for their rector. Natural- ly, he has given the matter; a great deal of thought. A positive statement that Mr. Barr will accept the second, call was not made last night. Mr. Barr is greatly- encourV aged in his work here,'. -and there' is no rc-ason why he should leave Monumental. The church has probably never had a -more popular rector. Nevertheless, the great desire of the. Norfolk church to secure his services has impelled Mr. Barr to. give the matter very serious consideration. - : L.. : It was learned at "the rectory last eve- ning that Mr. Barr -will give the; second call . greater consideration than he ac- corded ,the first. While he had" not- de- cided the matter finally. : the Dispatch representative inferred from .the -whole tenor of the interview at " the., rfctory tha'tr -Mrr-'Barr A.ilV-' liiorxiy - aniiounce^iis acceptance. of the Norfolk, call., ' . \u25a0;.'\u25a0' Rev. Mr. Barr was waited upon yester- day and last night by many, of the most influential members of his church and congregation and ursert not to 'leave Rich- mond, it is understood he will "announce his decision, to his vestry to-night. The" action. of the vestry, of the Norfolk church, was unanimous, and is thouclit to have been taken with reasonable ground for the hope that Mr.-; Barr would accept. The call was sent by mail, and .will prob- ably be received this mornina. • Is Expeeteil to Acct>|il.

Sl.— Of offi- cial intelligence regarding .what is trans- piring outside of Pretoria, thero is little or nothing to-day. Lord Roberts is silent. Nevertheless, by piecing together items from .various .correspondents it would seem that Lord Roberts's army is all employed north of Johannesburg. 'except one brigade, which is at Johannesburg, and that six columns are . converging on Pretoria. An undated news agency message from Pretoria via Lourenzo. Marques, .Tune Ith, says:: "Pretoria is now invested by the British. No resistance will be -of- \u25a0 . \u25a0 . ..-.-\u25a0- fered. ' The city will be surrendered by the burgomaster as soon; as a formal, de- mand is made." This mt-ssage purports to come: in cypher. PRETORIA TO BE : DEFEXDED.;' President Kruger commands the tele- graph line eastward from Pretoria, and telegraphic news fro.ni Pretoria to Lou- renzo Marques has ceased, -but the mes- sengers of newspaper correspondents con- tinue to miss to and fro. on the railway. The- latest to arrive at Lourenzo Marques bring events at the Boer camp down to a late, hour Friday, 1 night] "At that time, according, to these sources. of information, the military leaders were quite .recovered from the panic and had determined ;to_ defend the town. One message, which is" dated June Ist. says: . "Pretoria .is full of strange Burghers, but . most of the commandoes are laagered • outside. A great war. council of generals 'has just concluded its deliberations. The decision as to the future military course has not been made known. Louis Botha and De- larey \u25a0 sat in the council." " Another dispatch -brought to Lourenzo Marques. by messenger, and dated at Pre- toria Friday at ; midnight; says:' \. " WAR COUNCIL THE- GOVERNMENT. "The war council assumes the powers of the government!. Its members declare that the capital may still bo successfully defended. One commander 'With, the help of God. the hour will « t ii r-tiOTTitr-vv hear? Gt «\r • > Brittifn~--\vHt*' ac- knowledge the independence- of the two reDublics. A tremendous change "will, yet come over the situation.' - General; -De- larey said that Pretoria would be de- fended to the utmost, adding:. 'There is every chance thar we will yet beat the enemy out of the 'country.' "President Kruger : is somewhere to the eastward, but is in constant .wire com- munication with the leaders here. There is,, however, a deep feeling of .anger against him on account of what is now called his unnecessary flight, and because he and the officials took all tht' gold and left their subordinates unpaid. The latest phase of public opinion is a marvellous revival of courage." - •-. KRUGER AT DEUGOA, From Lourenzo Marques comes a "dis- patch dated- June -4th, , -saying: '"It is known that some great British movement is in progress outside" of: Pretoria. The mysterious movements of President :Kru- yer's secretary and- physician; particular- ly their visit .to ;the Dutch war- ship- Friesland, which is .in the harbor here, has aroused' suspicious in it im- portant personages art: expected." MINOR WAR' THEATRES. The news from - the minor theatres of hostilities is less cryptic. The Boer, oper- ations to break Lord Roberts's communi- cations have beer, completely, baffled, and the Boer columns are in danger of being surrounded by .'. the British forces :; at- Ficksburg.. Senekal. Heilbron; . and' Lind-; ley. General .Rundle, instead of thrpw r ing- • himself against the J3oer.-= in the trenches at Bedulphberg, moved toward 1 Ficksburg ; and- estab'ished communica- tion' with General : Barbant.:- The- Boers marched parallel with' Rundle, intending to seize a strong "position on the Ficks- burg, road, but General Rundle got there first.

Correspondent's Report.) • LA.WKENCEYILL.'E; VA-, June 4.—The r< tr.u. o: Rev. J: E. Roane Riddick for "« ;[:>• murder of Dr. William H.- Temple, a which has been in progress here for the \u0084-- i :.-: week, is hearing its close. The de- r fence concluded its testimony on Satur- c day. and this morning rested its case. 1 To-cay has been occupied by the prosecu- 1 tion in the introduction of rebuttal testi- r rscny. This lestimony did not appre- ciably strentrtlien the case of the prose- cution. Indeed, on many sides the opin- T ion 5s expressed that the defence has < thus far lo^t absolutely ljothiiiEr of its already strong case. Coroner "W. H. Tay- lor, of Richmond, who was summoned : ly the prosecution as an expert with a 1 view to offsetting the testimony given I t.:i Saturday by Drs. Hodges and Drewry, * in many respects proved a woful disap- ? 3-ointment to the Commonwealth's law- , years. He agreed with «Drs. Hodges and , Ivrewry that Riddick was insane at the i x.me that he lirod ihe shots into Dr. Tern- \u25a0> pie's body, and. while he admitted that ' matty circumstance's eiiea .in ilie mV u£ 1 Ki'idiek did not alone indicate insanity, < }i^ asscru-d that the history of Ins lite, ) ;»s a. whole, would certainly give rise to : that belief. ', Mr. J. D. Elam. another witness for - the Commonweal! h. testilied that while he had not seriously thought of Riddick i-s an insane man. he expected when he went to the scene, of the tragedy to find him a raving maniac, and though he appeared to be perfectly himself at tne magistrate's examination^ witness thought him to be- Insariel Riddick was i:i court alone throughout the day, no member of his family, as had heretofore been the case, sat with him. His father and his brother, who were with him du- img last week, left for their homes on Saturday, and to-day his wife departed for Petersburx: Mrs. Riddick came here when the trial opened and was accom- panied by her mother and the infant son v.20 «i-^s born undjsr the cloud oi the Teih- Dle murder. The devoted wire sat with her husband during her stay in Lawrence- ville. ard was unwilling to leave him to-day, but she was seriously indisposed and was urged by her physician to leave. She dc-clinerl. however, to do so until the child was aJso stricken with illness, when it became necessary for her to remove it. Riridick noted their absence, and has expressed considerable, uneasiness as to the welfare of his child. He appeared to m:ss his wife, and frequently interrupted counsel to ask after her whereabouts. Coroner Taylor also returned to Rich- mend to-day, being called there by the sr.no-um-oment of the death of his brother- in-law. Engineer Cheatham, who was killed in the wreck on ihe Atlantic- Coast Line this morning. The Coroner received the telegram announcing Mr. Cheathajn*s death just before going on the star.d. and was visibly agitated. The lawyers hurried through their -.xamina- lloii -of him in order that he. might re- turn home on the midday train. RATHER UX INTERESTING DAY. When court convened this morning at 'j o'clock there was a small crowd in at- undasice, but as the day advanced the crowd increased tintil the couri-room was filled to overflowing. The evidence was not oi an interesting character, be- ing largely in the nature of a< repetition of thai, which had gone before. As soon E.S the jury was seated Mr. J>ayis an- nounced that while the defence had other witnesses which it might introduce it was hardly thought necessary, and he, therefore, rested the case. There was ;='<nie few minutes' delay ere the Com- monwealth commenced its fight m re- buttal. Mr. J. H. Watts was the first witness introduced. He testified concerning a con- versation be had with Riddick on the niArning of the homicide, ;md quoted him as saying that Dr. Temple had made an unnecessary examination of his wife, and thai while he was not satisfied that he fc.id been justified in tiring the fatal shots, he would lie able to set hus mind at rest to by witnesses tor the defence, and the for a few moments. Witness saw nothing '••'at the accused's manner then to in- \u25a0-'\u25a0 •it" insajiity. and was of the opinion that Riddick was sane. The prosecution introduced a great many witnesses with a view to showing lhat Hiddick was not insane as testified to by witnesses for the defense, and' the d' fence endeavored' to show to the jury ; !;it they attached little importance to '';'• testimony, by declining to cross-ex- : rafne any of the witnesses, and these tactics apparently had their effect. Mr. AVjatts was followed on the stand '»>' Mr. Robert Pow«3l, a son of Dr. R. S. Powell. He : ; testified that he knew the accused very well indeed. Witness was with Constable House when; he, made the arrest of RiddSck. and heard a'ceused say: "Well, Jr.e; I suppose you have come to srre«;t me: I hope you will suspend judg- ithsjl until you have hoard both sides." The witnepp said that Riddick had re- WKU-& him to go to his wife and tell hr-r 1o '"Keep quiet,- and not say any- thing." and, ccntSnuing. stated that Rid- dloit had said to Mr. House in his pre- sence; "A man with milk in his veins would r«sent such, .an insult" as Dr. Tem- t«le offered- my wifo." .Subsequently wit- ness h;i«l hf*ard ;\<:eu?e<] pay: "1 was in- sane with anger when I killed Dr. Ter- n questioned as to what lie thought <>f Jiiddk-Jt's mental: condition, witness said he regarded him as sane. The next witness examined was Mr. C. H. Harris, the niagifitrate who conducted the preliminary examination, 110 testJ- fi<<s that at the examination -he read the charge to Riddick. who. in his plea, said: "I acknowledg<! the cliarge: when I m:»de the assault upon Dr. Teinplc I was of the opinion that lie. had by action: and word insulted my wife, an<l I folt it to '»' my duty to myself, my wife, my fam- ily, and my God to kill- him. I. have a v«-rj' bad t^mpor.-and l though I : may have hf-<-n Ini-ane for the, moment? Ido not care to make the. plea of insanity.": • WAS XOT SURE: . : Vv'JuiC'ES.{ continuing. - {.aid Riddick;. had", told him that- he did hot feel 1 sure of his; jusiiiicalion, and that if - lie;; was ; in th<* wroue he would give his life for that oC^ Dr. Temple's. 1 ; He asked for -a guard : aX his housu in. orcier that : he might attend to his wifcV. needs during her; sickness, but this was tlonied him:. He asked about bail, and witness said $2,000 .would :be ac- cepted. This not being forthcoming,' he committed accused to jail. Witness aaid accused was cooland deliberate through- out tho preliminary trial. He (witness) was personally.': acquainted with Prisoner and from his: knowledge of him. regarded him as a sane man. He never saw ac- cused do anything; strange.: : '/,>/; Mr. .T. L. Jones was next on the stand- Accused, he" said; had; in his term of ser- vice on. the South Brunswick, Circuit, taken two meals with witness, ; who heard his sermon- once a month. From his acquaintance with him ho regarded ac- cused as sane. i _.The " next witness exami ned was MY. J. v I.lam. who was «t the Temple -home "hen the. preliminary examination was held. He testified that Riddick had said £v ??'' '" When J committed the deed I folt that I was justified. Now I fear 1 was in;the .wrong. I realize the sorrow norn my hasty act; the sorrow if brings lo my family, to my aged parents, and to my possibly fatherless child. I should be deposed as a minister.

Witness consiciered accused superior to other preachers as a financier, and said that he always asked the price of an article before purchasing. Accused was always a year ahead in his money, which witness considered being even with the world. CORONER TAYLOR. The next witness examined was Coro- ner Taylor, lie testified to being Pro- fessor of Chemistry and Medical Juris- prudence, in the Medical College of Vir- ginia, and said he had 'been lecturing on th subject for three years, systemati- cally. He said he was not an expert, but Mr. Saunders asked the Court for a ruling to the effect that as an instructor the Coroner is an expert, to which there was no objection. Dr. Taylor testified that scientists draw a distinction be- tween monomania and-paranoi. but that, ordinarily, the two are the same. In response to questions by Mr. Saunders regarding the spasmodic drunkenness of a man's antecedents, and their. Influence, witness said they were generally recog- nized as leading to insanity, though this was not true hi every case. Frequently, changes in belief to that of a change from the doctrine of eternal punishment tc the belief in- annihilation. Dr. Taylor said, did not necessarily indicate unset- tled mental balance to the degree of in- sanity. The same hypothetical question, upon which the testimony of Drs. Hodges and Drewry was based, was put to Coroner Taylor (it is an agreed history of the life of the accused), and in answer to it, Dr. Taylor said: -'I should consider such a man insane." ,Mr..., Saunders separated the question into many divisions," but Dr. Taylor changed his testimony but little. To each he would pay: "In that one particulnr it might not be insanity, but with the other statements. I might yet consider the man insane! I take it from the hypo- thetical question that .there was insanity in his family; that is formidable evidence; in the balance I find nothing except cor- roborative evidence, a" ' which com- bined would point Jo insanity. . Mr. S:iun<lers asked witness if the opinion of the people having daily inter- course with the prisoner should not be regarded ns of value in determining his sanity, and the physician answered af- firmatively. Witness thought that such a deed as Riddiek committed might have been expected from a sane man who had reason to bvlieve that his wife had been insulted. Dr. Taylor gave .the- jury a most interesting dissertation on the defi- nitions of fixed delusions, illusions, and hallucinations, and in this agreed in the main with Drs. Hodges and Drewry. He was not cross-examined, and left at once for Richmond. When he concluded court took a recess for dinner. Dr. R. Jones. Jr.. was the first witness examined after the dinner recess. He had he said, known accused for about a year: had met him once or twice, and had on one occasion entertained him ai his house. Witness thought prisoner was sane He had never seen him do aught to indicate any mental deficiency, but, on the contrary, thought. Riddick a man of stronc intellect. _ _ Dr. S. 11. Moseley, who testified for the prosecution in the opening of the case, was recalled, and asked as to the prison- ers mental condition. He had. he said, known accused for a year; had frequently c W . n him during the period, and believed him to be sane. Witness had heard Riti- dick Preach- He saw him just after the «hooting. and there was nothing then in his demeanor to indicate insanity, and there was. in his belief, nothing since. "Nothing." said witness, "would make me believe Riddick was not sane." Mr. George W. Mitchell, who was the next" witness examined, said he had a limited -acquaintance with the prisoner; he never had but one or-two short con- versa* ions wish him. but he. .henrd him preach once a month at Spring Hill. He had nover -thought Riddick insane, though he had a peculiar look . of the eye. which witness attributed, to his deaf- Mr Walker Moseley follo%ved. He is a steward in Bethlehem church. . in —d- dick's circuit. He never thought accused was insane. \u25a0 Mr EB Barber, another of the stew- ards' in' Ri'ddiek's church, expressed "the belief that accused . was sane.. Riddick was' scheduled to preach at Bethlehem church twelve, times last , year. He miss- ed three appointments, ;witness said- two on account of the weather and one when he got lost. Witness thought the road a Plain one. but said there were forks at which- he turned off. and there- by gotten lost. . ; GOME TO KII,L YOU; : The next witness : examined^ was "Mr Walter I\ Rawlings. a. steward -^of Rock church. in s Rkldick's circuit. He. too. thought Riddick was a sane -man. Mr B L. Taylor, another steward of Rock church and Mr. W.H. Valentine, testi- fied to thoir beli-f that the .urisoner was sane, and Mr. Valentine' quoted the ac- cused a? telling him that when Dr.'Tem- nie opened his door on the; fateful Sun- day morning he had refused the physi- cian's hand, and had said to him: "It js ; a - beautiful morning for a frolic, and I -have-c ome to kill you." .'.. ~-\u25a0~ -\u25a0 l>r R- R- .Tone?.

C, three miles north of Weldon at 1:10 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, resulted in 'the death of Engineer ,Walter H. Cheatham, of the fast mail, and of an ' unknown tramp. Air. W. H. McGeorge, . of Roslyn, Va., the mail clerk, was very seriously hurt, and two colored firemen were injured, not fatally. Mr. Cheatham was the oldest engineer in the employ of the Atlantic-Coast Line, and one of the best-known men in Rich- mond. The accident was the result of an open switch. The fast mail from the. South, due here at 3:30 A. M., left Weldon on time, and was coming North at the high rate of speed at whicfcrit usually travels. Three miles this side of Welclon, at Garys- burg, the engine struck the switch, left open accidentally or by. design. "Look out. Mr. Cheatham, Sump'n's wrong," exclaimed John Smith, the color- ed fireman, from the other side of the cab. as he saw the engine dash onto the switch, straight' for a freight, which, had just pulled in from the North, the glare of its engine's headlight blinding them. The brave engineer sprang from his seat; and seizing the reverse.lever, threw his whole weight back on it. The pas- sengers in the. cars behind felt a sharp jolt. The passenger engine struck that of the freight. The pasengers behind felt another and sharper jolt. The tender to the passenger engine sprang upon the cab, and the mail coach was. Hung upon the tender. Mr. Cheat- ham was caught where he stood, between the tender and locomotive. The Weldon correspondent of the Dispatch, says, in describing the accident: "The crash was terrible. Engineer Cheatham was cut in- half. His watch was swinging from the vest-pocked, and was running, indicating correct time. Both engines were badly broken tip. ; The mail-car was badly broken. The mail -was tn\nX^j;rfcd-to- another car,"— v : \u25a0 THE 'INJURED. John Smith (colored), of this city, Mr. Cheatham' s fireman, was badly scalded by escaping steam. - Mr. McGeorge, the mail' -clerk, was taken from his wrecked car, wounded about the head, several ribs broken, and injured internally.. Hardy- Durham (colored), the fireman on the freight engine, was slightly in- jured;about the head and back. Mr. C. N. Flinpcn, the freight engineer, was in his cab, but got not a scratch. When Conductor L. R. Tiller, of Man- chester, and the flagman sprang from the train and ran forward to the engines, they soon saw that Mr. Cheatham was dead, and that his fireman "v>as being scalded. It was several minutes : before they discovered the' crushed and lifeless body of a man between the mail-car and the tender. It was ..that of a nameless tramp, who had been stealing a ride. . The conductor at once wired the news of the accident to Weldon. and i-eported it to Superintendent Fountain here. Sur- geons and a wrecking force were sent to the scene. Drs. Green and Zollickoffer were brought up from Weldon, and Dr. H. Herbert Lee was taken down from Pe- tersburg. The work of getting the men from the wreck was pressed as rapidly, as possi- ble. Mr. McGeorge was confined in his car. The smashed wood-work of the' cab caught fire, and a stream from a locomo- tive had to be kept playing on it to pre- vent the burning of the body of the en : gineer and the tramp; and possibly that of the injured mail- clerk. . The bodies were gotten out in compara- tively short time, and Mr. McGeorge was released. The injured -were at once brought to the Home for the Sick, at Petersburg. The injuries of Mail Clerk McGeorge are serious, and possibly fatal. The two firemen will recover. A NAMELESS COiva-o^. The tramp was buried in the cemetery at Garysburg. There was nothing on him by which he could be identified. The men took from the front of a military cap which he wore the crossed cannon insignia of an artilleryman, with the figure "1" on it, and the "letter "C" be- neath it. indicating that the cap was, or once was, that of a member. of the First Artillery,. Battery C. v The remains of Mr. . Cheatham were brought to this city at 11:10 o'clock yes- terday morning. The news of his. death was "first, received by his. brother-in- law, Mayor Richard M. ' Taylor. The latter communicated . it to Captain Charles F. Baylor, his brother, who communicated with "Mr. J. L.. Sutherland, the undertaker, with reference to the funeral arrangements. Mr. Sutherland, went at once to the Cheatham residence, at . No. 70. west Grace street, to learn- the wishes of the family. He supposed they knew of Mr. Cheatham's. death, but discovered as soon as he entered the house that they did not.

It Seems Probable the Po'imiap Rec-tor AViJI Go to' iVorfoHc.

The announcement ,that St. Luke'sEpiscopal church, ;of Norfolk, has ex-tended a second call to Rev. \V. A.-Barr,rector, of Monumental' church, in thiscity,-and that the call will probably be.accepted, will be received "with regret byhis congregation and. the community atlarse.:When a reporter Tor the Dispatch

called at the rectory last evening, theletter making the eair had.not bsen re-ceived, but was expected by. the nextmail..

The vestry of St. Luke's met yester-day morning and .unanimously. 'decided toextend the call. Mr. Barr had hearcV in-directly that St. Luke's would! repeat thecall, which was first made last year.Although he declined at that time, he hasknown all winter that; the Norfolk con-gregation had- not abandoned the ideaof securing him for their rector. Natural-ly,he has given the matter; a great dealof thought.

A positive statement that Mr. Barr willaccept the second, call was not madelast night. Mr. Barr is greatly- encourVaged in his work here,'. -and there' is norc-ason why he should leave Monumental.The church has probably never had a

-more popular rector.Nevertheless, the great desire of the.

Norfolk church to secure his services hasimpelled Mr. Barr to. give the mattervery serious consideration. - :L..:It was learned at "the rectory last eve-

ning that Mr. Barr -will give the; secondcall .greater consideration than he ac-corded ,the first. While he had" not- de-cided the matter finally. :the Dispatchrepresentative inferred from .the -wholetenor of the interview at

day and last night by many, of the mostinfluential members of his church andcongregation and ursert not to 'leave Rich-mond, it is understood he will"announcehis decision, to his vestry to-night.

The" action. of the vestry, of the Norfolkchurch, was unanimous, and is thouclit tohave been taken with reasonable groundfor the hope that Mr.-;Barr would accept.The call was sent by mail, and .will prob-ably be received this mornina. •

LONDON. June 5.—3:30 A. Sl.—Of offi-cial intelligence regarding .what is trans-piring outside of Pretoria, thero is littleor nothing to-day. Lord Roberts is silent.Nevertheless, by piecing together itemsfrom .various .correspondents it wouldseem that Lord Roberts's army is allemployed north of Johannesburg. 'except

one brigade, which is at Johannesburg,

and that six columns are .converging onPretoria.

An undated news agency message from

Pretoria via Lourenzo. Marques, .TuneIth, says:: "Pretoria is now invested by

the British. No resistance will be -of-\u25a0 . \u25a0 . ..-.-\u25a0-

fered. 'The city will be surrendered by

the burgomaster as soon; as a formal, de-mand is made." This mt-ssage purports

to come: in cypher.

PRETORIA TO BE:DEFEXDED.;'President Kruger commands the tele-

LA.WKENCEYILL.'E; VA-, June 4.—The r<tr.u. o: Rev. J: E. Roane Riddick for "«

;[:>• murder of Dr. William H.- Temple, a

which has been in progress here for the \u0084--i:.-: week, is hearing its close. The de- rfence concluded its testimony on Satur- cday. and this morning rested its case. 1To-cay has been occupied by the prosecu- 1

tion in the introduction of rebuttal testi- rrscny. This lestimony did not appre-ciably strentrtlien the case of the prose-cution. Indeed, on many sides the opin- Tion 5s expressed that the defence has <thus far lo^t absolutely ljothiiiEr of itsalready strong case. Coroner "W. H. Tay-lor, of Richmond, who was summoned :ly the prosecution as an expert with a 1view to offsetting the testimony given It.:iSaturday by Drs. Hodges and Drewry, *in many respects proved a woful disap- ?

3-ointment to the Commonwealth's law- ,years. He agreed with «Drs. Hodges and ,Ivrewry that Riddick was insane at the ix.me that he lirod ihe shots into Dr. Tern- \u25a0>

pie's body, and. while he admitted that'

matty circumstance's eiiea .in ilie mV u£ 1Ki'idiek did not alone indicate insanity, <}i^asscru-d that the history of Ins lite, );»s a. whole, would certainly give rise to :that belief. ',Mr. J. D. Elam. another witness for

-the Commonweal! h. testilied that while hehad not seriously thought of Riddicki-s an insane man. he expected when hewent to the scene, of the tragedy to findhim a raving maniac, and though heappeared to be perfectly himself attne magistrate's examination^ witnessthought him to be- Insariel Riddick wasi:i court alone throughout the day, nomember of his family, as had heretoforebeen the case, sat with him. His fatherand his brother, who were with him du-img last week, left for their homes onSaturday, and to-day his wife departedfor Petersburx: Mrs. Riddick came herewhen the trial opened and was accom-panied by her mother and the infant sonv.20 «i-^s born undjsr the cloud oi the Teih-Dle murder. The devoted wire sat withher husband during her stay in Lawrence-ville. ard was unwilling to leave himto-day, but she was seriously indisposedand was urged by her physician to leave.She dc-clinerl. however, to do so until thechild was aJso stricken with illness, whenit became necessary for her to remove it.Riridick noted their absence, and hasexpressed considerable, uneasiness as tothe welfare of his child. He appeared tom:ss his wife, and frequently interruptedcounsel to ask after her whereabouts.

Coroner Taylor also returned to Rich-mend to-day, being called there by thesr.no-um-oment of the death of his brother-in-law. Engineer Cheatham, who waskilled in the wreck on ihe Atlantic-Coast Line this morning. The Coronerreceived the telegram announcing Mr.Cheathajn*s death just before going onthe star.d. and was visibly agitated. Thelawyers hurried through their -.xamina-lloii -of him in order that he. might re-turn home on the midday train.

RATHER UXINTERESTING DAY.When court convened this morning at

'j o'clock there was a small crowd in at-undasice, but as the day advanced thecrowd increased tintil the couri-roomwas filled to overflowing. The evidencewas not oi an interesting character, be-ing largely in the nature of a< repetitionof thai, which had gone before. As soonE.S the jury was seated Mr. J>ayis an-nounced that while the defence had otherwitnesses which it might introduce itwas hardly thought necessary, and he,therefore, rested the case. There was;='<nie few minutes' delay ere the Com-monwealth commenced its fight m re-buttal.

Mr. J. H. Watts was the first witnessintroduced. He testified concerning a con-versation be had with Riddick on theniArning of the homicide, ;md quoted himas saying that Dr. Temple had made anunnecessary examination of his wife, andthai while he was not satisfied that hefc.id been justified in tiring the fatal shots,he would lie able to set hus mind at restto by witnesses tor the defence, and thefor a few moments. Witness saw nothing

'••'at the accused's manner then to in-\u25a0-'\u25a0 •it" insajiity. and was of the opinionthat Riddick was sane.

The prosecution introduced a greatmany witnesses with a view to showinglhat Hiddick was not insane as testifiedto by witnesses for the defense, and' thed' fence endeavored' to show to the jury;!;it they attached little importance to'';'• testimony, by declining to cross-ex-:rafne any of the witnesses, and thesetactics apparently had their effect.

Mr. AVjatts was followed on the stand'»>' Mr. Robert Pow«3l, a son of Dr. R. S.Powell. He:;testified that he knew theaccused very well indeed. Witness waswith Constable House when; he, made thearrest of RiddSck. and heard a'ceused say:"Well, Jr.e; Isuppose you have come tosrre«;t me:Ihope you will suspend judg-ithsjl until you have hoard both sides."The witnepp said that Riddick had re-WKU-& him to go to his wife and tellhr-r 1o '"Keep quiet,- and not say any-thing." and, ccntSnuing. stated that Rid-dloit had said to Mr. House in his pre-sence; "A man with milk in his veinswould r«sent such, .an insult" as Dr. Tem-t«le offered- my wifo." .Subsequently wit-ness h;i«l hf*ard ;\<:eu?e<] pay: "1 was in-sane with anger when Ikilled Dr. Ter-

nquestioned as to what lie thought<>f Jiiddk-Jt's mental: condition, witnesssaid he regarded him as sane.

The next witness examined was Mr. C.H. Harris, the niagifitrate who conductedthe preliminary examination, 110 testJ-fi<<s that at the examination -he read thecharge to Riddick. who. in his plea, said:"Iacknowledg<! the cliarge: when Im:»dethe assault upon Dr. Teinplc Iwas ofthe opinion that lie. had by action: andword insulted my wife, an<l Ifolt it to'»' my duty to myself, mywife, my fam-ily,and my God to kill-him. I.have av«-rj' bad t^mpor.-and lthough I:may havehf-<-n Ini-ane for the, moment? Ido notcare to make the. plea of insanity.": •

WAS XOT SURE: .:Vv'JuiC'ES.{ continuing.- {.aid Riddick;.had",

told him that- he did hot feel 1sure of his;jusiiiicalion, and that if- lie;;was ;in th<*wroue he would give his life for that oC^

Dr. Temple's. 1; He asked for-a guard :aXhis housu in.orcier that :he might attendto his wifcV.needs during her; sickness,but this was tlonied him:. He asked aboutbail, and witness said $2,000 .would :be ac-cepted. This not being forthcoming,' hecommitted accused to jail. Witness aaidaccused was cooland deliberate through-out tho preliminary trial. He (witness)was personally.': acquainted with Prisonerand from his:knowledge of him. regardedhim as a sane man. He never saw ac-cused do anything; strange.: : '/,>/;

Mr. .T. L. Jones was next on the stand-Accused, he" said; had; in his term of ser-vice on. the South Brunswick, Circuit,taken two meals with witness, ;who heardhis sermon- once a month. From hisacquaintance with him ho regarded ac-cused as sane. i

_.The "next witness examined was MY. J.v I.lam. who was «t the Temple -home

"hen the. preliminary examination washeld. He testified that Riddick had said£v ??''

'"When J committed the deed Ifolt that Iwas justified. Now Ifear 1was in;the .wrong.

recalled an incident when n good friendof his. now in the Virginin conference'had caught hold of a man. and • draggedhim, to the altar. Witness consicieredaccused superior to other preachers as afinancier, and said that he always askedthe price of an article before purchasing.Accused was always a year ahead in hismoney, which witness considered beingeven with the world.

CORONER TAYLOR.The next witness examined was Coro-

ner Taylor, lie testified to being Pro-fessor of Chemistry and Medical Juris-prudence, in the Medical College of Vir-ginia, and said he had 'been lecturing onth subject for three years, systemati-cally. He said he was not an expert,but Mr. Saunders asked the Court for aruling to the effect that as an instructorthe Coroner is an expert, to which therewas no objection. Dr. Taylor testifiedthat scientists draw a distinction be-tween monomania and-paranoi. but that,ordinarily, the two are the same. Inresponse to questions by Mr. Saundersregarding the spasmodic drunkenness of aman's antecedents, and their. Influence,witness said they were generally recog-nized as leading to insanity, though thiswas not true hi every case. Frequently,changes in belief to that of a changefrom the doctrine of eternal punishmenttc the belief in- annihilation. Dr. Taylorsaid, did not necessarily indicate unset-tled mental balance to the degree of in-sanity.

The same hypothetical question, uponwhich the testimony of Drs. Hodges andDrewry was based, was put to CoronerTaylor (it is an agreed history of thelife of the accused), and in answer to it,Dr. Taylor said: -'I should consider sucha man insane."

,Mr..., Saunders separated the questioninto many divisions," but Dr. Taylorchanged his testimony but little. To eachhe would pay: "In that one particulnrit might not be insanity, but with theother statements. Imight yet considerthe man insane! Itake it from the hypo-thetical question that .there was insanity

in his family; that is formidable evidence;

in the balance Ifind nothing except cor-roborative evidence, a"

'which com-

bined would point Jo insanity. .Mr. S:iun<lers asked witness if the

opinion of the people having daily inter-course with the prisoner should not beregarded ns of value in determining hissanity, and the physician answered af-firmatively. Witness thought that sucha deed as Riddiek committed might havebeen expected from a sane man who had

reason to bvlieve that his wife had been

insulted. Dr. Taylor gave .the- jury amost interesting dissertation on the defi-nitions of fixed delusions, illusions, andhallucinations, and in this agreed inthe main with Drs. Hodges and Drewry.

He was not cross-examined, and left at

once for Richmond. When he concludedcourt took a recess for dinner.

Dr. R. Jones. Jr.. was the first witnessexamined after the dinner recess. Hehad he said, known accused for about

a year: had met him once or twice, and

had on one occasion entertained him ai

his house. Witness thought prisoner wassane He had never seen him do aught

to indicate any mental deficiency, but, onthe contrary, thought. Riddick a man ofstronc intellect. _ _

Dr. S. 11. Moseley, who testified for theprosecution in the opening of the case,

was recalled, and asked as to the prison-

ers mental condition. He had. he said,

known accused for a year; had frequentlycW.n him during the period, and believed

him to be sane. Witness had heard Riti-

dick Preach- He saw him just after the«hooting. and there was nothing then in

his demeanor to indicate insanity, andthere was. in his belief, nothing since."Nothing." said witness, "would make

me believe Riddick was not sane."Mr. George W. Mitchell, who was the

next" witness examined, said he had alimited -acquaintance with the prisoner;

he never had but one or-two short con-versa* ions wish him. but he. .henrd himpreach once a month at Spring Hill. He

had nover -thought Riddick insane,

though he had a peculiar look. of the

eye. which witness attributed, to his deaf-

Mr Walker Moseley follo%ved. He is

a steward in Bethlehem church. .in —d-

dick's circuit. He never thought accusedwas insane. \u25a0

Mr E B Barber, another of the stew-

ards' in'Ri'ddiek's church, expressed "thebelief that accused .was sane.. Riddick

was' scheduled to preach at Bethlehemchurch twelve, times last ,year. He miss-

ed three appointments, ;witness said-two on account of the weather and one

when he got lost. Witness thought theroad a Plain one. but said there were

forks at which- he turned off. and there-by gotten lost. . ;

A collision on the Atlantic-Coast Lineat Garysburg, N. C, three miles northof Weldon at 1:10 o'clock yesterday morn-ing, resulted in 'the death of Engineer,Walter H. Cheatham, of the fast mail,

and of an'unknown tramp.

Air. W. H. McGeorge, .of Roslyn, Va.,

the mail clerk, was very seriously hurt,

and two colored firemen were injured,

not fatally.

Mr. Cheatham was the oldest engineer

in the employ of the Atlantic-Coast Line,and one of the best-known men in Rich-mond.

The accident was the result of an openswitch. The fast mail from the. South,

due here at 3:30 A. M., left Weldon ontime, and was coming North at the high

rate of speed at whicfcrit usually travels.

Three miles this side of Welclon, at Garys-burg, the engine struck the switch, leftopen accidentally or by. design.

"Look out. Mr. Cheatham, Sump'n'swrong," exclaimed John Smith, the color-ed fireman, from the other side of thecab. as he saw the engine dash onto theswitch, straight' for a freight, which, hadjust pulled in from the North, the glareof its engine's headlight blinding them.

The brave engineer sprang from hisseat; and seizing the reverse.lever, threwhis whole weight back on it. The pas-sengers in the. cars behind felt a sharpjolt. The passenger engine struck thatof the freight. The pasengers behind feltanother and sharper jolt.

The tender to the passenger enginesprang upon the cab, and themail coachwas. Hung upon the tender. Mr. Cheat-ham was caught where he stood, betweenthe tender and locomotive. The Weldoncorrespondent of the Dispatch, says, indescribing the accident:

"The crash was terrible. EngineerCheatham was cut in- half. His watchwas swinging from the vest-pocked, andwas running, indicating correct time.Both engines were badly broken tip. ;Themail-car was badly broken. The mail-was tn\nX^j;rfcd-to-another car,"— v :\u25a0

THE 'INJURED.John Smith (colored), of this city, Mr.

Cheatham' s fireman, was badly scaldedby escaping steam. -

Mr. McGeorge, the mail' -clerk, wastaken from his wrecked car, woundedabout the head, several ribs broken, andinjured internally..

Hardy- Durham (colored), the firemanon the freight engine, was slightly in-jured;about the head and back.

Mr. C. N. Flinpcn, the freight engineer,was in his cab, but got not a scratch.

When Conductor L. R. Tiller, of Man-chester, and the flagman sprang from thetrain and ran forward to the engines,they soon saw that Mr. Cheatham wasdead, and that his fireman "v>as beingscalded. It was several minutes :beforethey discovered the' crushed and lifelessbody of a man between the mail-car andthe tender. It was ..that of a namelesstramp, who had been stealing a ride. .

The conductor at once wired the newsof the accident to Weldon. and i-eportedit to Superintendent Fountain here. Sur-geons and a wrecking force were sentto the scene. Drs. Green and Zollickofferwere brought up from Weldon, and Dr.H. Herbert Lee was taken down from Pe-tersburg.

The work of getting the men from thewreck was pressed as rapidly, as possi-

ble. Mr. McGeorge was confined in hiscar. The smashed wood-work of the' cabcaught fire, and a stream from a locomo-tive had to be kept playing on it to pre-vent the burning of the body of the en:gineer and the tramp; and possibly thatof the injured mail- clerk. .

The bodies were gotten out in compara-tively short time, and Mr. McGeorge wasreleased. The injured -were at oncebrought to the Home for the Sick, atPetersburg. The injuries of Mail ClerkMcGeorge are serious, and possibly fatal.The two firemen will recover.

A NAMELESS COiva-o^.The tramp was buried in the cemetery

at Garysburg. There was nothing on himby which he could be identified.

The remains of Mr. .Cheatham werebrought to this city at 11:10 o'clock yes-terday morning. The news of his. deathwas "first, received by his. brother-in-law, Mayor Richard M.

'Taylor.
