MAA ia Ker Upon Cook. WHAT MR. KER SAYS ABOUT THE STAR ROUTE CASES—THE EVIDENCE OVERWHELMINGLY STRONG. From the Fhiledelpnia Times, Ex-Assistant District Attorney Ker, who has been retained by Attorney General Brewster as special counsel in the prosecution of the star route contractors, was found at his home, 1508 north 6th street, last evening. He 1s now enjoying a briet rest preparatory to a renewal next week of the work upon the star route indictments, for the pre- paration of which he was retained because of his experience as a draughtsman of criminal plead- ings. In speaking of Col, William A. Cook’s wita- drawal from the prosecution Mr. Ker satd that he did not know Col. Cook personaliy, and therefore could not speak of the motives which may have led to the withdrawal. “Colonel Cook sent in his resignation,” said Mr. Ker, “and without waiting for Attorney General Brewster’s decision in the matter made explana- tions of his course and claimed that he was slowly being frozen out from the prosecution. So far as I couid see he had no reason to belteve anything of the kind. ‘The manner in which these government cases are conducted is much different from the manner of ordinary district prosecutions. Attor- ney General Brewster Was practicaliy the superio- tendent of the cases, and Was not obliged to call a council of the assistants whom he employed. He had a perfect right to tell Colonel Bilss or to tell me what to do without consulting Colonel Cook or any of the others, ‘The Attorney General had the cases 1n charge, and no one in connection with the case could expect to be his equal. Colonel Cork- hill, the district attorney at Washington, was the only man who had any cause to feel aifronted that he Was not called in for consultation. ‘The indict- ments, being in his district, required his signature. When’ he was asked to sign tiem he stepped up gracerutly and without a moment's hesitation put is name tothe co-uments He understood the matter thoroughly, and so did everyone else. “Col. Bliss didn’t supervise the "bills of indict- ment at all; thoy were lett entirely to me. Some- Umes, coming into my office out of mere triend- ship, he would casually glance over the sheets as they lay 0. the table, but he never examined any of them. When the papers went before the grand jury no one thought there would be so inueh work. here was altogether too much for one grand jury. Col, Bliss has been at the cases five or six mont!) and he has been working almost night and day. haye known him to continue his examination of the contracts many a time up to 4 o'clock in the Morning. ‘The cases will come up next Thursday. T expect that the court will make some peremptory order, and then I suppose I will be called to Wash- ington to resume work.” When questioned concerning Col. Cook’s refer- ence to the irregular manner in which the counsel had been employed he, Mr. Ker, said that he knew of no irregularity. On the contrary, he thought that soar as his knowledge of the law'went every- had been done regulurly and properly. ere 18 enough documentary evidence on file now,” said Mr. Ker in conclusion, “to convict thes: people without the use of a single witness on the stund.” ————————— ‘THE MISSION OF MESSRS.

One gentleman, who holds a prominent position in the rument, bought two cans and was urged by the clerk to Duy the third, at that moment standing alone on that particular shelf. “He declined. Had he done so he would have been $500 better off this morning, for that can actually contained five $108 bills. Ina few moments a colored woman selected a can containing fifty cents, which was next to the $500 can. ‘The clerk, when he asked her which can she would have, placed his hand three times on the $500 can and as many times on the other. She took the can with the fifty cents it. A gentle- man whose name appears in the list below, who found $5 ina can, came within two cans of the $500 can. Finallya gentleman trom Baltimore, Whose name is Morris J. Mitcheil, a book-keener at 182 North Broadway, stepped in th a great hurry, bought just one can. had it wrapped up, and was out of the store In five minutes, and he ts the gen- eman who was the “luckiest,” so far as_presents are concerned, that visited dur store Saturday. We have concluded to offer the same inducements Otay: » Viz: We will put In one can, and only ne FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, and place iton our shelves bright and early this morning. Notaclerk will know its exact loca- tion, and the person who selects that can can have it, with its contents, for one dollar. Other cans will contain $250, or $200, or $175, or $150, or $140, or $125, or $100, or $75, or $60, or $50, or $40, or $30, or $25, or $20, or $15, or $10, or $5, Or $3, oF $2, or $1, or various sums down to 10 cents. ‘No blanks. We honestly believe our tea and coffee is the cheapest in the city, quality considered, and every can we sell, whether tea or coffee, is worth the price we ask for it, $1, or 6 cans for $5, 12 cans for $10, 25 cans for $20, or 65 cans $50, with a pres- ent in every can. It pays toget up aclub forus. Those who do get up clubs, as_a rule, are well satistled with the presents they receive, and nearly always send in a second club Within two or three days after recely- ing their first order.
