This conyersition was something outside of the duties of a Senator as prescribed by the law. He referred also to tie fact that witnesses introduced by tae prosecution had forined an opinion of the needs of the route, influenced only by the material interests of the country and not by poiitical ad- vantages. THE TESTIMONY ADMITTED. Judge Wylie said he considered the testimony competent, and would admit it. ‘The witness sald he Lad, in a great many cases, | urged, or joined in urging, action by Mr. Brady. ‘The witness satd he would do the same again under the same circumstances. The witness tden- Ufled a letter he wrote to Brady urging increase ot service on the route from Eugene City and Bridge Creek.

ALL DEMOCRATS. “These,” said the witness, holding up a petition, “gre all democrats in this petition.” “They need no further recommendation,” sail Mr. McSweeny. “But they are all excellent men; that,” sald the witness. “There are exceptions to all rules,” said Mr. In- rsoll. = sere witness reada letter he wrote to Brady in April, 1879, after leaving the Senate, earnestly re- commending the increase of service on route 44.140. ‘Phe witness said that Congress made a grant of land, which was given by the legislature Of the state to a company to build the Willamette Toad across the Cascade mountains from western to eastern Oregon, and over a portion of tals road run route 44,140. MR, AIITCHELL WAS CRO8S-BXAMINED by Mr. Bliss) The witness sald he had never in- vestigated the amount of the mail matter that passed over the Eugene City route; he had never ‘been over the route. Witness did not know whether any mail matter from California went over the length of the route. He did not know how the petitions were getten up; they did not come to witness from the contractors. Witness did not know how much extra expense the proposed In- crease would involve; he did not think of the price, and did not Suppose the contractors would getany more than the law allowed. He never considered that, but looked out for his own inter- ests. Mr. Wilson, upon re-direct examination, had the witness read a setter he wrote November 16, 1878, urging increase of service in order to supply Camp Harney and others in that vicinity. ‘The witness said that during his services in the Senate he had frequently called at the Post Office dey ent and urged no particular policy of his own, but the policy of his constituents as commu- nicated to hinr by letters and petitions. Upon re-cross-examination the witness said in reference to Peavens tfat_ were shown him. that he did not know whether the figures that had been written over erasures were in the petitions when he ‘endorsed them or not. REPRESENTATIVE VALENTINE AS A WITNESS. Hon. Edward K. Valentine, member of Con; from Nebraska, was next called to the stand. He I will say said he had called upon Mr. Brady almost every ; day after he came to Congress for three or four ones to urge increase of mail service in his state. Mr. Buss called attention to the fact that there ‘was but one route tn Nebraska effected by the ta- dictment. The witness sill he had received, as he entered Congress, a large number of petitions and letters asking for increased service, in obed!- ence to which he called at the Post Office depart- ment. In some instances Mr. Brady met him with a statement of the revenues of a route and a sus- gestion that the department could not afford to grant the proposed increase, | Witness set forth the needs of the country, and urged that the rev- enue should not be considered in this matter. ‘The witness identified his indorsement on a letter rec- onmnending an increase on the route from Kearney to Loup City, SECRETARY TELLER ON THE STAND. Hon. Henry M. Teller, Secretary of the Interior, was then called to the stand. He testified that he was Senator from Colorado in 1878 While Sena- tor, in the years 1878 and 1879, he frequently called upon Mr. Brady in reference to the increase and expedition of routes, Witness had the theory that the government owed it to the people of the west to give them mail service. He thought the people ‘who went out to settle a new country had a right to good mail service. He never inquired about the cost, for he did not think that ought to be constd- ered. Witness ‘urged various reasons why the routes should be expedited. In that country whenever a mining camp was established off from a line of the ratiroad, the ple would begin to ctamor for mail facilities. ‘itness: also that he thought the Indian question would be settled by Ineronsing the mail routes, as that would bring people, and the more people who settled there the jess trouble they would have with the Indians. ‘The routes from Silverton to Durango, from Ojo Cae nrange tan been taken up with rail- THE COURT DECLINED to admit further testimony on this point. Mr. Ingersoll said he wanted to show that while there was talk about the smaller cost of the star service now than formerly, as a matter of fact the more. expensive routes had been supplanted by railroad lines. ‘On m by Mr. Mr, Teller safd that he thought that the expedition of routes had considerable to do with the settlement of the Indian question, because thé quicker the mail reached 8 certain place the more desirable that Place became as a residence. fr. serach SR , and intative Belford, of Colo- ither of those gentlemen was present. A LOUIBIANA WITNESS, Dr. B, H. Peterson, of Louisiana, was next called to thé stand. He sald he had been connected with the mail servicé since about 1871. Witness had known John A. Walsh since the latter came to Wasi x Mr. asked the witness if he had ever h any drafts to Walsh, and if 80 what was the given any ‘alsh, tion. ‘Mr. -Merrick that this was a collateral matter, upon Ww! the government could not in- ‘Mr. Ingersoll a at some length that the its by Mesars. and ear va or ee ae has been mentioned in these transactions, but to whom he (Mr. Bliss) did not care to refer to any more. ever wrire sap it seemed to him that the testimony was not ad- missable. Walsh had testified to what Brady had sald regarding the Peterson drafts. There was nothing said by Walsh as to his own knowledge about those drafts. Tue testimony of Peterson, who had parted with the drafts, wotlld not contra- dict what Walsh had said, for everything that Peterson says mhy be true, and it might still be true that Brady made the declarations to Walsh, as reported by the latter. Peterson was not able to deny that the interview took place. Brady might have been lying. “He was, I guess, if he said that,” said Mr. Ingersoll. Juage Wylte said a man who would steal notes, commit a highway robbery ta that way, would be very apt to lle. If men never lied and’always {old the truth, this testimoay might be compe- ni “What would become of lawyers in such a state of society?” asked Mr. Ingersoll. ‘The question, Judge Wyile sald, was between Brady and Waish. Brady was a competent wit- ness to contradict Walsh. Mr. Wilson, for the purpose of making a record, sald he offered to prove by Peterson that the drafts delivered by Waish to Peterson were In consideration of services rendered by Walsh to Peterson, and that Brady had no connection therewith. The testimony was excluded and an exception noted. NOTES, The opening addresses and testimony for the government In the star route case Mill 2,202 print- ed pages.

Bigelow was at once com- mitted to Jail for a further hearing. Yesterday | Bigelow received a number of fricads at the jal By the advice of his counsel he declined to talk to newspaper reporters about his case. IN THR POLICE COURT. ‘There was a large crowd attracted to the Police Court this morning to see Bigelow, who, It was supposed, would be brought before the court for a hearing or to give ball, but as neither the govern- ment or the defence were ready, the prisoner Was hot brought up from the jail. $35,000 EMBEZZLED. About 12:30 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Randolph Cosle, assistant United States prosecuting attor- hey, called Judge Snell’s attention to the case and | Stid he had two warrants against B. Frank Bige- low, charging him with two separate and distinct cases of embezzlement of the funds of the National | Bank of the Republic. the amount named in both | cases aggregating about $10,009, but he had in- | formation from the bank officlils that the whole giount embezzled by the defendant would reach | ~ Mr. Coyle asked the court to fix the amount of | ball for ‘the defendant’s appearance. The court aid he would fix the amount of bail according to the amount embezzled, and he would therefore fix 1t at $35,000. Mr. ‘Totten, Bigelow’s counsel, Was not present in court. Mr. Bigelow’s father-in- inw and several other friends of the prisorier were | present in court looking after the interest of the defendant. Up toa late hour no one had offered bail, but it was reported that a lady, member ot Calvary Baptist church, was golng én his bond. THE WARRANTS. Last Saturday Mr. Charles 8, Bradley, cashier of the bank, swore out two warrants against Bige- ut the Police Court. He tscharged in the first having on the 27th of last January, while a. :,agent and etploye of the National Bank of the Repubife, embezzied and wrougtully con- verted “to his own use $5,300.41, which came into his possession by virtue of Lis cierkship and agency of this bank. ‘The second warrant fs for embezzling $3,984 from the bank the 2ist of last February under the Same circw:.stanees. ‘The amounts charged in the two warrants Were the two t: amounts taken on the sume days Mr. Bradicy, while swearing out the warrants at the Police Court Saturday, showed the court a lst of figures which he said Tepresented the amounts: led by Bigetow since the ISt of January, and which amounted to more tlian €35,000. He also sald that there were peraiestons ne first of January, but some of them ha ch made good with proceeds of the embezz ements since that time. ‘ON THE TRIP HOME Bigelow was disinclined to talk, and it was ob- served that he endeavored to escape observation; and when parties entered the car he would pull his hatover hiseyes.
