THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL. GOVERNMENT TESTIMONY ALL IN. AN ADJOURNMENT = UNTIL = MONDAY. The Criminal Court assembled at ten o'clock this morning, but did not proceec. to business until a quarter past ten o'clock. Mr. Bliss called for Mr. Meisenberg, the witness from St. Louis, but he did not answer, Mr. Bliss said that the government was ready to close, subject to the right of placing him on the stand Monday it he should appear, and also with a reservation as to ex-Senator Spencer. He said he had received a telegram which led him to expect the arrival of the St. Louis witness this morning. Mr. Carpenter sald the defence did not propose to proceed with their case until the prosecution gets through. Mr. Henkle sald that the defence proposed to submit some motions when the government closed. dudge Wylle sald he did not propose to ad- Journ the court to- he pro} to go on, con- Sidering the covernment’s case closed, Saving the reservations Inade by Mr. Bilss. Mr. Totten argued that it would be unprece- dented to oblige the defence to go on. JUDGE WYLIE ON THE ADMISSION OF TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION OUT OF OR After furtuer discussion, Judge Wylie sald the circumstances appealed strongly to the discretion of the court to admit the testimony when it ts offered out of the order. It the testimony ws of such acharacter as to require some Indw gence to the defence tn order to meet It, the court Would grant such Indulgence FFER AND MR. WITSON'S OBJECTION. Mr. Bliss offered to state what was expected to be proved by the witness, so that no advautage could be taken of the defence; but Mr. Wilson 0v- jected to his stating it. Mr. Totten, in arguing against the proposed in- duizence to ihe prosecution, said, in regurd to ex- Senator Spencer, that he did not know whether the gentlemen for the prosecution had told him to gohome or not. He had seen him tn tue court some Ume ago, He understood that through Spencer it was expected to bring other defendants tot confessional. »” said Mr. Merrick. MH. INGERSOLL TAKEN AT HIS WORD. Mr, Ingersoll said that if the evidence in was all the evidence the prosecution had he was willing to let the case go to the jury without a word. Mr. Merrick suggested If the counsel were pre- pared to submit the case, that could be done be- Tore the witness came. 1°5 Want to do it under athreat,” sald Mr. , “that there is more testimony to come “Tiere {san opportunity,” sald Judge Wylie to Mr. Ingersoll, “for you to cut them out of the ad- Htuge of tat evidence. “The court will not let the witness in?” sald Mr. rt will not Iet the witness in,” sald te, “if you are prepared to submit the fat you Intima’ THE ST. LOUIS WITNESS NOT SWORD Mr. Bitss here stopped the discusston by having the witness Metsenberg called again by the crier, Tho call was effective, and Mr. Bliss, after con- ferring briefly with the witness, announced to the hat under the ruling of’ the court yester- alng toadmit proof of the entry of $7,000 y's credit in Hatch & Foote’s on account, it had not been referred to in Mr. Walsh's stimony, he did not think this evidence was admissibie. It Was important in another case against Brady, and he had thought it would be iunportant inthis. Mr, Bliss then withdrew the offer of the testimony. ij ‘Some minutes elapsed, during which several of the counsel for the defense held a consultation. Mr. Henkle then rising gaid he had concluded not. to submit the motion that he had intended to make at the close of thecase. The counsel for the deiense tad had no conference about It. Other gentlemen for the defence preferred that the case should go on. THE HOUR COME FOR THE DEFENCE TO OPEN. “Well,” said the court, “the hour has come for you to open,” “Well,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “I will put in first the balance of that book,” referring to the record of the bids and contracts of the letting of 1878. MR. WILSON WISHES TO FURTHER CKOSS-EXAMINE WALSH. Mr. Wilson said that before proceeding he de- sired to recall Mr. Walsh for the purpose of further eross-examination. * Mr. Bliss having objected, the court required Mr. Wilson to state specifically what he proposed to effect by this cross-examinatuon. ‘Mr. Wilson said he proposed _to lay the founda- tion for proof to show that Walsh never men- toned the matter of indebtedness to Brady in his life; that he rode with hitn to Washington a few days before the suit, and did not mention it; that when he placed the claim in the hands of Mr. Tot- ten for collection, he claimed the loan which he now pretends was $12,000 was only $1,200; that after he had brought the suit, and it became known, one of his friends inquired of him what it meant, and he (Mr. Wilson) wanted to show by Walsh’s answers that he did not pretend that Brady owed him a cent. THE COURT WILL NoT ALLOW 17. The court said that he would decline to allow the further cross-examination. Mr. Ingersoll then said that he would put in the remainder of the book containing the record and all the bids of the letting of 1878 to controvert the statement of the prosecution that the defendants alway bid on weekly routes and slow routes, and other statements of a similar nature. Mr. Wilson called attention to the fact that the sum allowed to the contractor on the route trom Sugnache to Lake City by a clerical error had been recouped by the department by a subsequent order. Mr. Bliss said he would admit that. Mr. Ingersoll submitted a paper and had it marked by the reporter. ‘Then there was a pause. ‘The counsel for the detence did not seem decided as to how to proceed. CONSULTATION OF COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENCE. After a minute or two of silence, Mr. Ingersoll announced to the court that the counsel for the detence wished to withdraw for a moment for constiltation. He then Jed the way out of the court room, Tollowed by Messrs. McSweeny, Tot- ten, Wilson, Chandler, Hine, Henkle, and Carpen- ter. Judge V motion RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. The counsel returned in about five minutes. Mr. Totten sald the defence had come in this morning expecting that the prosecution would have some testimony to offer; the defence had many witnesses,but they were not here, and there was some confusion. He asked the indulgence of the court until Monday, when they would have their course of procedure marked out, and would be able to go on Without loss of time. ____ ADJOURNMENT TO MONDAY, Judge Wylie said he would regret to close the day. When the trial began he had expected to push it with much more vigor than it had been pushed. He had found, on account of the warm weather and the feeble health of one or two of the jurymen, that he could not press the trial with much vigor, but if the counsel thoucht they could not goon eeey, to-day he would be obliged to adjourn ull Monday. Mr. Totten said that he did not think they could go on to-day. “TI am afraid you have too many lawyers on your side,” sald Judge Wylie. “The difficulty is,” sald Mr. Totten, “we have too many defendants, your honor.’ These men should have been indicted separately.” “We would like to consult,” said Mr. a ieee) “to see who we think the prosecution they have any evidence inst.” “To see which you will plead guilty and mah will A eee ‘Wylie. e may ity Monday morning,” ae Tt, ature en *D, At 11:15 a.m. Mai 2 Was adjo' Ne OTE, A canvass of the jurymen has a that 8 of them are \ts, 3 repul Feadjuster.
