He dropped the pants and ran, but witness, on ac- count of the condition of his toilet, could only fo! low him to the door. Mr. L. W. Sieigeman, an in- mate of the house, testified to giving chase, cap- turing Jones and bringing him back. In answer to an inquiry from the court as to whether he was acquainted With the prisoner he sald that he in- troluced himself to witness as_a citizen of Ohio about a week ago. ‘The accused toox the stand In bis own behalf and stated that_he is a physician, but cannot practice his profession in consequence of injuries that he received tn the army. He told the court that he came here to have his pension increased and lately became short of funds; that this morning his little daughter was crying for something to eat, and he went to Mr. Morey’s house to ask for money to get something for his child to eat, and, picked up the pants to pat them gua chatr, because. they were lylug on the floor. ‘The defendant expressed adesire to leave the city, and the court released him on giving bis personal Donds to leave the city. odin Sees A Bad Day for Them. Frm the Cincinnati Gazette (Rep.), July 26. Yesterday was a bad day for Dorsey and Brady. The court said that the testimony had proved the fact of a conspiracy, and therefore testimony showing the character of the conspiracy could be admitted.

Judge Wylie yesterday decided to admit thecon- fession of Rerdell in the star route trial, and Messrs, MacVeagh and James went on to the Stand and repeated the story told about the con- spiracy by him. Mr. Ingersoll made a desperate attempt to get the court to reconsider its decision that sufficient evidence of a conspiracy had been introduced to take the case to the jury, but Judge Wyite said that tn his opinion the evidence already in “tended rong to establish the coipus delicti,” and he added these goldea words, which must have delighted Brady oar as meee as the ad- mission of Waishis testimony: “Here were enor- mous expenditures made without adequate return; contracts awarded for a few hundred dollars, without aj aad been innocent enough.

Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriations committee, sald it w: not comp d that any of the matters to be stricken out were vicious,and that therefore an instruction to the appropriations committee to strike all Ingislative features would be regarded by them as establisiing a rule for their government generally. It would then be their duty t eliminate ail’ items of legislation from appropriation bills. Mr. Hoar construed this statement when first as a threat, but Mr. Allison, more specifi- caliy deflning his meaning, withdrew the term. Mr. Hutler suggested that the proposed reorgan- fzatlon of Ui S of too’much importance to be conside: ising hours of the session.

Reed for defending the ‘assassin Guiteau. Mr. Williams wanted to refer the amendment to the appropriations committee, but on motion of Mr. Allison it was referred to the ju- diclary committee. PROSPECTS OF AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT. The general belief in the Senate is thatthe tax reduction bill is dead for this session,though Sena- tor Morrill has sald that he intends to move to take it up pers as soon asthe naval appropriation bill 1s out of the way. The prevailing belief, how- ever, is that if he makes such a motion it. fail, as the sundry civil bill will next claim the atten? Uon of the Senate. The republican Senators un- derstand that the House would not pass the bill as amended, and this fact acts as a damper upon its rospects, The talk now is that Congress will ad- ne perhaps by the last of next week. SOMETHING THAT MAY DELAY ADJOURNMENT. ‘The indications in the Senate to-day are that the motion to recommit the naval appropriation bill, with instructions to strike out all legislation rela- Ung to reorganization, will prevail, and if it does that will undoubtedly journment or Congress.

A Motion to Cite Newspaper Writers for Contempt of Court—Mr. Walsh on the Stand Again—Brady Account with Hatch and Foote, The star route trial was resumed in the Crim!- nal Court this morning by Mr. Merrick calling the attention of the court to the difficulty they expe- rienced In calling witnesses. He said that they find it necessary In order to procure witnesses to Protect them from abuse. He therefore moved for arule forthe appearance of A. C. Buell, the editor of the Capital, for contempt of court. He citedan article that appeared in that journal of July 234, in which he charged Waish with perjury and falsehood and used other abusive language respecting him; also a rule for Buell, Helm, Hack, Ringwalt and E. W. Brady, the trustees of the Critic, and Mr. Harris, one of the editors, to show cause why they should not be punished for con- tempt of courtin their abuse of Mr. Walsh, ex- Attorney Geacral MacVeagh and ex-Postmaster General James. Mr. Merricksaid that the govern- ment found it very difficult to procure witnesses when they were lable to such a torrent of abuse and invective in the public press. He asked per- mission to file the motion, and would call it up again at some time at the convenience of the court. ‘The Court—“I have never read the articles re- ferred to.’? Mr. Merrick—“They are filed with the motion.” ‘The Court—“I could not grant a motion to show cause@intil I heard arguments.” MR. TOTTEN PROPOSES AN “OFF-8ET.” ‘Mr. Totten sald that when the motion came up for argument the defence would submit extracts from the New York papers, one of which recently abused the court ina most shameful way. If the other Bile can show anything worse than the abuse that has been poured upoa Gen. Brady and Senator Dorsey”— ‘The Court—“The one is as wrong as the other. Crime cannot be justified by setting another against it” ir. Merrick—“We want all editors punished that have made themselves Hable.” The Court sald that as to attacks on the court, he did not see them. “Sometimes,” he continued, “anonymous extracts are sent to me, but I always throw them in the waste basset.” Mr. Totten—“We have something {n the way of interviews to show you.” Mr. Ingersoll—“I thought that the government papers were ahead so far.” ‘he Court—“That is not a set-off, however. It 1s diMicuit to have a fair trial in this country on account of the newspaper writers.” Mr. Ingersoll (sarcastically) —“Well,, we enjoy the benefit of a free press, at any rate.” JUDGE WYLIE ON “HIKED SCRIBELERS.” The court said that h? hoped the jury would not. be influenced by the newspapers. ‘They were with- out weight. The public scorn them. If the writers think that they are making public sentiment,they are mistaken. The public has become Indepen t entof the press.

He did ue want any cne abused. Let the newspapers tend to their own business. MR. WALSH ON THE STAND AGAIN. Mr. Walsh was then called to the stand to cor- Tect'some parts of hts testimony. He safd that he had found by reference to pap2rs in the possesston of Mr. Hine thatit was $1,200 and not $12,000 for which he furnished amemoranda. It was & mis- take of his and he wished to correct it. Mr, Wilson attempted to cross-examine the wit- ness, and asked why he had not corrected the error before. A subsequent allusion brought out a reference to Mr. ‘Totten, who was once Mr. Walsh’s lawyer, and this involved a discussion as to professional proprieties, which caused the court to stop the debate, and Walsh stepped down, from the stand. BRADY'S FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS WITH WALSH. ‘The government then called to the stand Henry Reighley, of New York, a booxkeeper for Hatch & Foote. He testified to these facts, and produced the cash book of 1880._ Mr. Bliss asked him to look to the amount of Mr. Brady for April 12th, 18390. Objection was made to this testimony by the defence, for the reason that they did not under- stand its object. Mr. Bliss explained that Walsh had testified that Brady liad asked him to deposit $10,000 to his credit for him. He did not do that,’ but gave Brady a check for that amount on April 12th. It ‘was proposed to show that on that day Brady had deposited to his credit with Winslow, Lanier & Co., $10,000, and besides $3,500. CBJECTIONS BY THE DEFENCE. Mr. Totten objected to the admission of this tes- timony, on the ground that it referred to the pri- vate affairs of two men. The defence had not im- pached Mr. Walsh, yet the prosecution was try- ing to bolster up bisevidence. It was merely a collateral matter. Mr. Ingersoll also maintained that the evidence was only admissible after the veracity of the wit- ness had been impeached. He thought that the effort of the prosecution to corroborate this tes- timony was an evidence that in their minds they doubted its truth, Mr. Merrick agreed that it was a purely collat- eral matter, but the evidence of the witness had been attacked by {nsinuation, and Mr. Wilson had een open court that Brady never owed Walsh a cen JUDGE WYLIE’S VIEWS. The court said that in the cross-examination of Walsh the defence showed that they wished to discredit the entire testimony. He regarded this j evidence just offered not in-corroboration of Waish, but as cumulative evidence offered by the i government as to the existence of the notes. Walsh testified that at Hatch & Focte’s he paid Brady a certain amount, and this witness is called to show that on that day a corresponding amount was deposited by Brady to his own credit. Mr, Ingersoll maintained that 1t was not the uestion whether Brady borrowed money from Vaish, but the question’ Is, did Brady tell Walsh that it’ was his custom to receive acertain per- centage of the expeditions, The question whether Brady took the note was not important, unless it was denied. If the alleged admission ‘of Brady that he took a percentage of the expedition had not been admitted, all the evidence of Walsh must. be stricken out, because all the rest was merely collateral to this admission. THE TESTIMONY ADMITTEDS The court said that it was all linked together and a part of the confession. If there was no note the story would be a fabrication. The existence of the note, the fact that this man was a creditor of Brady, and has not been paid to this day, are facts that are necessary to the belief in the state- ment. He therefore would receive the testimony. Mr, Wilson objected to it as being wholly irrel- evant to the issues of the case. ‘The examination of the New York bookkeeper was continued, and Mr. Bliss asked him to turn to the entry of April 12th. Mr. Wilson asked him if he made tnis entry. ntdidy and that he had not seen Mr Beas said ani an e ni 3 the amount. ‘The court thought the person making should be called. ee a Mr. Bliss said that he had issued a sul Hatch and Foote, and this was the resign ‘The witness was then excused, but not dis- NOTES OF DORSEY, MINER AND VAILE.

Mr. Bliss said that they would have to supple- ment this admission vy the proof of the deposit of the money by Brady. | Mr. Wilson sald they admitted all that, and there was no need of any supplementary evi- ence. Mr. Bliss said that it was not shown by the ad- mission that the deposit was cash, and this fact they wanted to prove. Mr. Merrick asked the witness why they used the letter “¢.” He sald that there was no particular reason. It sometimes is used for checks. “Ck.” means checks, and nothing else. Mr, Bilss said he would take the admission, re- serving the right to prove that it was a cash ‘pay- ent ‘Mr. Wilson.—“ Then I withdraw it.” MR. KEYSER WAS RECALLED to the stand, and was asked by Mr. Merrick who struck the name of 8. W. Dorsey out of the agree- ment between Vaile, Miner & Co. and J. W. Dorsey & Co. in regard to the settlement for the notes. ‘The witness sald tuat S. W. Dorsey did it him- self, and the reason for It was the witness’ refusil to transfer a part of a draft offered In payment to his private account, He therefore struck out his name from the agreement, and withdrew his in- | dorsement of the notes. The witness Was then excused, and Mr. Bliss offered in evidence tho report of the Postmaster General of the offerings for mail routes for gthe purpose of showing the bids which the defendants made at that letting in 1879. Objection was made by the defence. OFFICIAL REPORTS RULED OUT. The court asked if the object of the evidence ‘Was to show that the defendants never bid against | each other. Mr. Bliss said that was one of the objects, and they also proposed to show every bid made by the defendants at that letting; but they did not Intend to make a comparison with other bids. Mr. Ingersoll objected to the admission of any bids except those referred to in the indictment, ‘The court decided to admit the evidence for the purpose of showing concert between these bid- ers. Mr. Ingersoll said from the first that the defend- ants had admitted that they were mutually inter- ested in these bids. After further discussion the prosecution offered to bring in a certified list of the bids of the parties in lieu of the entire report, and this was accepted. Mr. Bliss offered as evidence a report of the Postmaster General giving a table of the mall Toutes in operation June 30th, 1881: also, similar evidence for the years 187682 inclusive—the object, of the evidence being to show how the service had increased under Gen.
