This morning about 11 o'elock the trialon the star route indictment agatnst Brady, the Dorseys and others for conspiracy was resumed and Mr. Wilson opened for the defence. He said that the newspapers of the country had been teeming with articles denunciatory of the star routers, a8 they were called, based on ex parte statement, end he asked the Jurors If they had read such articles to dismiss them from their minds. Facts had been distorted and statements made totally at variance with the truth. They should consider the state- ments made, and see if his inferences were not true. In 1876 there were 8,003 star routes, aggre- gating 191,567 miles, and he gave a comparative Statement Of the raliroad ana steamboat and star service carried over 92,000,000 miles, and sald they could form some idea of the amount of work per- formed by the office of THE SECOND ASSISTANT P. M. GENERAL. ‘They could begin to understand that it was im- practicable for that officer to scrutinize every peti- tion and affidavit presented, They should re- member, too, that Congress prepares these routes, not the Post’ Omice department. Tne method of advertising and letting the routes was then de- Served. ‘The proseciition clactred that Brady. was guilty of fraud because he had not advertised for the full service, and claim that he purposely did 86 to allow opportunity to expedite. ‘Tie defer claimed that this was unfair. Mr. Wilson said that no later than Saturday on 2% routes the ser- vice had been increased. HERE WAS THE SAME THING being done over again by this honest admintstra- tion. In the west the country was being peopled to such an extent that it was necessary to increase the service on routes. When Co establishes 2 post route over a road of which the officials here are ignorant, how are they to fix the schedule, &e. It was not difficult to determine the number of trips per week and what should be paid, but when the speed was increased then came a dif culty. “He then related that up to 1879 there had iy NO REGULAR RULE ON THIS SUBJECT. Congress had then given the necessary author. sty, recognizing additional service and expedition- ary service. He claimed that Congress had made the rule—taking the stock and carriers as the basis Of compensation. Formerly the pro rata rule was the. custom for years, but the regulation under this law was the first deviation from this rule—the humber of men and animals required being the basis. How could the Second Assistant Postinas- ter General have done otherwise than he had done? How was be to ascertain whether the pe- tition or affidavits were genuine. Telegraph to some cow-boy down in Texas? They would, in the course of the trial, show in- numerable cases where additional compensation had been refused because of the want of evi- dence. Mr. Wilson read from a report of Mr. Bra:ly in 1879, in which he called attention to the necessity for additional legislation on the subject of increasing service and recommending certain amendments—to relet the contracts after adver- tising the same. “Here we find,” said Mr. Wilson, “my client, charged with violating the law, recom- mending the necessary amend ments to the law.” The very things complained of have been in ac- cordance with the practice in the department for yeurs past, with law, and the decisions of the Su- preme Court of the United States. MR. WILSON REFERRED TO SPECULATIVE BIDDING saying that the men often put in proposals for Toutes they had never seen, and the consequence was that while they let_out the routes to sub-con- tractors sometimes, and obtain the difference, sometimes they are obliged to pay more than the amount of contract to the sub-contractor, which they do rather than to be declared failing contrac- tors. Discretionary power had been confided by law on the Second ‘Assistant Postmaster General, and he claimed that no matter how he exerelsed it within the statutes he could not be held accounta- die. It must be shown that he has been gulity ¢: a | wanton exercise of power and for a cor- | Tupt purpose before he could be held. AFTER A RECESS OF HALF AN HOUR Mr. Wilson resumed his opening, saying that had @ person heard the address of Mr. Bliss they would have supposed that Mr. Brady was on trial for a wanton arbitrary act, but they would show that he was guiltless, They charge that he made these orders when they were not needed, but they would show that'these orders were issued on the recom- man down; revenue officers, brokers, of trade, Senators and others—men who stood high and who would be produced on the stand. He knew not how these petitions were gotten up, nor did his client (Mr. Brady), but he knew they came to n. Brady, who was satisfied that the men who sig ned them did so honestly, ‘MR, WILSON INTERRUPTED. Mr. Wilson having made some strictures upon Mr. Bliss’ remarks, saying that he split hairs, and alluding to hisspeech in some uncomplimentary terms, Mr. Merrick interrupted him, and called the attention of the court to the fact that Mr. Wilsom ‘was arcuing his case, and not Mier ame, the ily following the exam claims at were onl of Mr. Bliss, the Cqurt restricted Mr." Wilson to usual address, limits of an oper that the petitions made In accordance wi ferrick said: “We will “Will you bring Secretary Teller? ” asked Mr. WiNorsin, We will not bring your witnesses,” said Mr, Merrick. “That ts,” he sa! case Coop tile agen ave.” TRYING TO SAVE GUITEAU. ANOTHER “MOTION BY MR. REED. JUDGE WYLIE DECLINES TO ENTERTAIN IT, When the Criminal Court opened this morning Mr. Charles H. Reed, counsel for Guiteau, arising, said the District Attorney was now present on a notice he gave yesterday of a short motion, and he would not ask the court to Intercept the trial but for the fact that a man’s life was at stake. AS he desired to take some further steps time was of the utmost importance. He had seen it stated In the papers how the court would decide the mo- lon. “One of the papers,” gala Judge Wylle, “gave a good opiuton in anticipation of the opinion of the court.” Jucge Wylle having said he would hear the mo- tion on the peultion, Mr. Reed read as follows: Mr. Reed’s Petition. “Your petitioner, Charles H. Reed, being duly sworn on his oath respectfully represents to said court and says that he isan attorney and counsellor At law of said court, and that he is now the sole at- torney of Charles J. Gulteau tn sald cause, and that on the 8th day of October, A. D. 1881,thegrand jury Of said court presonted to sald court an Indictment against safd Guiteau for the alleged murder of James A. Garfield, late President of the United States, and that suid defendant was tried for sald alleged erime before a jury and found guilty, and Was on the 4th day of February, A.D. 1882, by the judgiient of said court sentenced to be executea yy hanging en the 3th day of June, A.D. 1882, and that sald indictment contains ten counts all refer- Ting to the same alleged crime, and that the 1st, 24, 4th, “sth, 7th and 8th counts’ of sald indictment alléze that the said James A. Gartleld died in the county of Washington in said District of Columbia, and that the other counts of sald indictment allege that he died in the county of Monmouth,in the state of New Jersey, and that the undisputed record in cause conclusively shows that sald James A. Garfeld diet tn sald Monmouth county, in the Slate of New Jersey, and not in said District of Columbia; and that there was no evidence what- ever offered or pro iuced at said trial which showed or even tended to show thatsaid James A. Garfield died in sald District of Columbia; and that the verdict of the jury in said cause was a general Verdict of guilty on all the counts tn the indict- Ment; and that the judgment of the said court on sald verdl im not iy v] the death of said James A. Garfield, in said District of Columbia, which the court refused to do, and the defendant then and there duly excepted to such re- fusal,and that the said judgment should have been spectally rendered upon the counts of said indict- ment, Which were supported by the evidence and not generaliy upon the entire indictment. Your petitioner further on his oath respectfully repre- sents and says that he, the sald defendant, has a lawful right to a truthful record in said cause; and that he should not be embarrassed or jeopardized by a false record in every respect; and that an appeal was taken from said judgment and sent- ence to the April term of said supreme court; and that your petitioner honestly belteved that the Said supreme court in general term would reverse said judgment for errors committed in and by the criminal term in the trial of sald cause, but in this your petitioner has been sadly and unex- pectedly disappointed; and that this is the first convenient and reasonable oppor- tunity or .time which has occurred for the presenting of this petition since said iudg- ment was rendered; and that the statements and matters contained in this petition more fully and at large appear in the said record in said cause to which your petitioner hereto now refers. Where- fore your peUtioner for and on behalf of sald de- fendant respectfully asks and prays that the sald record and judgment be so amended and corrected in some lawful form and manner as to show and coniorm to the facts appearing of record in said caure.” ‘The petition was subscribed and sworn to before Clerk iltame of the Criminal} “ourt. Judge Wylie’s It B ‘The court maintained that the record itself was admitted to be correct. “How can I,” said the court, “sit in appeal on what the Court in General Term has done?” MR. RERD INSISTED that the court had ample power todo what was asked, as sustained by authorities. “I ask, your honor,” he said,“*that the judgment be so amended as to apply only to the counts, alleging death in New Jersey. I have no appeal to the U.&. Supreme Court; this record embarrasses ne in what I pro- 0.” to do. peas not this a true record of what took place be- fore the court?” asked Judge Wylie, in a very unencouraging tone. To this Mr. Reed assented. He argued, however, insupport of the right of the court to amend the record. “If it was an oversight on the part of the defence,” said Mr. Reed, “not to have the record prreny, made at the time, certainly no harm can bedone to the government by making 1tnow. I ave BY XO MEANS ABANDONED THE CASE, and will not till the last hour. If this record in any way embarrasses me, I know your honor will correct it.” JUDGE WYLIE SAID | he had no doubt at all that the court would amend the record. Mr. Reed, however, was asking the court not to amend the record, but to make a new one. The history of the trial, 1t was admitted, was a correct account of what had taken place. The court was now asked to hear a motion which was not made at the proper time. The court was asked to make an appendix to the true history of the case, and allow the de- fense to insert a motion now, which was not made when it should have been made. The amendment Mr. Reed asked was to incorporate into the record new facis, The question was whether after the General Term had confirmed the judgment in the case the defense could come to this court. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND MR. REED. The district attorney having remarked that the same application was made before the Court in General Term, Mr. Reed said: “The district attor- ney is entirely mistaken, I have never made such a record. Now, I ask the district attorney whether he objects that such a correction be made, when. it is unchallenged history that President Garfield died in New Jersey. is em ‘asses me in what I wish to doin behalf of a man whose life is at stake. It is undisputed history that Presi- dent Garfeld died in New Jersey. The counts which allege death in the District of Columbia lie.” “I will admit that,” said the court, “but the question 1s not whether the district attorney con- sents, but whether the court has power.” JUDGE WYLIE’s “CUT OFF.” ‘Mr. Reed having made an appeal in behalf of his client, Judge Wylie checked him by saying: “Mr. Reed it ts impossible for me to grant this motion.” judge Wylie thought the judge holding the court eget ot ee amendment even if the court had power.

Brockway, allas Spencer, the counterfetter, who ‘was brought here from New York Saturday night, was, on his arrival at the jail, assigned toa cell on the first floor of the south wing of the building, not far from that in which Guiteau is confined. Brockway is & man about 54 or 55 years of age; a raw-boned, slenderly built about six feet high, with considerable iomumet bair we Regen He ts rathera ine man, having a lated to Impress’ one favorably, Al ay Brockway’s counsel, Mr. Wm of the law firm of Guild & Lum, of New- risoper or in Mr. Gutld cheerfully, and had quite along interview with him. At the conclusion of this in- terview, Mr. Guild said that Brockway expected to be released within 48 hours and return home. The statement recently made that Brockway had told the Secretary of the Treasury how the lates were obtained are incorrect, he says, and hat his recent futerview with Secretary Folger, {after the indictment had been found), Was in re- ardto a matter enurely foreign w the $1,000 Bond, and ts yet a state secret. It ti now khown that Brockway made no disclo- sures of any importance in his Tecent Intervi with the Secretary of the Treasury. The Treas- ury department was endeavoring to get at the truth of the many charges which were made as to the genuineness of plate which was ct here from the west. It was not the inten- tion to have Brockway arrested. ‘The indictment against him was found on charges agatnst bim from outside parties. It Js claimed that Brockway will very soon be re- but if such is the case it will not be grant- ing immunity on account of any recent disclosures made by him, but will tend to show that Brock- way has been able to give conclusive evidence that at the time of his trial, eighteen months ago, he then gave up all the dies and plates in his pos- session or under his control and 1s no neces» sity for keeping him under arrest,and the tin. munity which was then granted him holds good. — District Government Affairs, Major G.
