MOTION 70 SET ASIDE THE VERDICT. VAILE’S NEW BAIL IN $10,000. MORE ABOUT THE BRIBERY STORIES. ge VAILE AND THE DORSEYS TO BE TRIED AGAIN. Ss The Criminal Court met this morning at ten o’clock pursuant to adjournment Monday, to hear the motion for a new trial in the case of Rerdell and Miner, and Mr. Merrick’s motion for increased. Dail in the case of the star route defendants as to whom the jury disagreed. There was a good at- tendance. Messrs. Brady, Valle and J. W. Dorsey appeared in the court room. Turner enjoyed the liberty of Innocence and remained as a spectator outside of the bar. Rerdell and Miner, who were brought up from the‘jail before ten o'clock were, a few minutes after the court assembled, brought in by the marshal’s officers and seated With their counsel. ‘MR. TENKLE’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE THE VERDICT. Mr. Henkle called attention to a motion he had filed to set aside the verdict, claiming that it was unreasonable and extraordinary. He called atten- Uon to what had appeared in the newspapers re- garding the case, “Iam perfectly blind to everything that has appeared in the newspapers,” satd Judge Wylie. FOREMAN DICKSON’S EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT. Mr. Henkle said that, in view of the very extra- ordinary statement that has appeared by the foreman of the jury, he thought the court might act. ‘ “ The court,” sald Judge Wylie, “cannot act in consequence of any statement in the newspapers. As a mattcr of fact I have not read them.” Mr. Henkle said he only wanted to suggest to the court these scandalous things In the papers Coming from the foreman of tue jury. He sald that Mr. Dickson had filed an «Mldavit with the district attorney, He thought the court would take some steps for its own protection, and might think it was reason to set the verdict aside, Judge W: 4d that the court would not act without grounds, A MOST WONDERFUL VERDICT. Mr. Henkle continued that it seemed to him that the town was filed with rumors, The verdict seemed to be considered a most wonderful and ex- traordinary one. These defendants (Miner and Rerdell) certainly are not any more guilty than the others. He felt perfectly sure that that was the public sentiment. He had examined authori- tes With the view of holding that the court had power to take bail for the convicted men. Judge Wylle said that since the adjournment of the court he had been looking up the law on the matter, and he was so inclined that he would rather hear the argument trom theside of the Prosecution, THE QUESTION OF BAIL, DISCUSSED. District Attorney Corkhill, who was present in court, seid in reply to a question from Mr. Mer- Tick, that it had never been the practice in this court to admit to bail after a verdict was ren- dere: . uses Wylie gaid he understood the question to be whether existing Dail could remain until the end of the question. Mr. Merrick said that Mr. Henkle was speaking of another question. He (Mr. Merrick) was satis- fled that the existing bali could continue in the case of those in whose case no verdict had been rendered. As to whether additional ball should be required, he had come to the conclusion that the present'amount was sufficient except in one case, that of the personal recognizance of H. M. Valle for $1,000, secured by checi. Brady, he said, was held ia $29,000 ball, and 8. WW. and J.’ W. Dor? sey In $10,000 each. “I think,” satd Judge Wyll great injustice has been done to Mr. Valle. He ought to be favored as much as Mr. Dorsey. I think $1,000 Personal “recognizance is hanily sufllcient ‘tor im.” Mr. Henkle sald Mr. Vaile was a man holding a large amount of real estate in Missouri, and he Was not olng to runaway. Mr. Williamson, a man of wealth, was here and ready to go Mr. Vatle’s bi to apy amount. Mr. Vaile was not going to run away. Vaile Gives Batl im $10,000. Judge Wyle said he questioned the propriety of receiving Mr. Vaile’s check, and le had decided to change the form of security, return Mr. Vaile’s check, and take ball from him in the amount of $10,000. Mr. LP, Williamson, of Independence, Me., was then sworn on. his voire dire, and baving stated that he owned $30,000 of unencumbered real estate in Jackson county, Mo., Was accepted as Mr. Vaile’s bondsman. THE MOTION TO SET ASIDE THE VERDICT. Mr. Henkle said he hoped the court would decide whether it would set aside this verdict. “It I would take all the newspapers in town,” sald Judge Wylle, “and be governed by them, I tolgiut probably make up an opiuion soon; but I telPyou I cannot make up an opinion that way.” Mi. Henkle having again reerred to what ap- peared to him to be Inconsistency in the verdict, judge Wylle sald “he had told the jury that it was a case of Conspiracy against several persons, and To one could be convicted of conspiracy alone, They had found two guilty and acquitted Mr. Turner, who Wa hot really prosecuted, and Mr, Peck, Who is dead. It was,”sald Judge Wylie, “ONE OF THE MYSTERIES OF THE JURY ROOM, as to the course which the jury travelled in reach- ing the verdict they rendered. Still {t was.a ver- dict the jury had power to render, and the court remained of the opinion that although in this con- spiracy there were some more prominent than others; some who were masters, others who might be called-tools or instruments; yet all the mein- bers of the conspiracy were equally Mable. As to the proportion of punishment, that would be a matter for the court. The court would make a difference between the leader and the led. As to the verdict, however, that was amatter for the BRADY, NO CONSPIRACY WITHOUT BRADY. Mr. Henkle sald that he had understood the court to hold that there could be ng conspiracy Without Brady, “If Brady wasin the conspiracy,” sald Judge Wylle, “he was at the head of the arch.” Mr, Henkle nr peated thathe had understood bro ey could be no conspiracy that did notcon- a a Judge Wyite Said that that question had been approached, but the furthest the court pad soap wyas to say that Brady-a to be the master, fois poe esate a endereepod the Cad to form the jury that there could be no conspiracy without Brady; that any two could be convicted Provided one of them was Brady. Mr, Merrick said the court had not said that. Judge Wylie asked if the jury had found all gullty except Brady, that would be sufficient. He that for augue the court obutd tall, the Jury might at, for aught the court cou e have fouind that those two had filed thé false aff. davits. They were capable ot sorming & conspir- acy. So, according to the theory of the crime, ‘there was noth! nt in the indictment. Whether the court was satisflea that that was a Judicious verdict was another question, but the verdict was capable of hae tH Mr. Henkle, wit patna od ig argument, char- acterized the verdict as “a teat of gymnastics ner netted De) Jury such ag I have never seen Judge Wylle asked what the case would be if mea ana Dorsey alone had been found guilt In that case, Mr, Henkle the court and the indictment, with afidavite, He then mit the convicted aefen ‘THE QUESTION OF of the court Miner was considerably moved, and seemed to have to make a great effort to restrain his tears. Mr. MeSweeny said that Mr. Rerdell did not want it understood that the court was passtn| upon the question of anew trial. He (Rerdell) would have some affidavits to file In support of a motion for new trial, relating to matters which had not before come to the attention of the court. Remarks of the Court. Judge Wylie said that he thought the question of dailshould not be disposed of until after the motion for a new trial had been determined. As to Rerdell, the court could not forget the evidence against him, furntsied by his own confession, ‘The court would not allow Rerdell’s confessions to affect Mincr inthe Judgment of the court. The jury had the power of ren tering a verdict against. these two defendants, “but, of course,” added the Judge, Mwe all wonder how it was” “And still the wonder grew,” added Mr. McSwee- ny, sotto voce. : Judge Wylie said he had not read the news- Papers; he patd no attention to the rumors that Were afloat, and proposed to keep hts mind disa- bused of them, The counsel proposed, he und stood, to submit aMidavits in supportof an trial,’and he suggested that a day be set for arguing thatematter. The New Trial. Mr. Merrick sald he had instructions from the Attorney General to proceed with a retrial of the parties whose cases had not been decided, and he Would, after the motion for a new trial_was dis posed of, ask the court to fix the 5th or 6th day of November, or the 1st Monday in December for te purpose. ADJOURNED TO FRIDAY. The court adjourned to Friday, when the mo- tions for a new trial will pe argued. ~ ‘The Motions for a New Trial. A motion for a new trial filed in the case of Rer- dell, by his counsel, Mr. A. B. Wililams, is based on the following ground: 1. Misbehavior on the art of the government. 2 Misbehavior of the jury. 3. That the verdict ts contrary to the evi- dence. 4. That the verdict ts unreasonable. 5. Misconduct of government attornéys during the trial in referring to the failure of defendants to testify, made and commitied In the presence of the jury. 6 And for other manifest reasons. In a motion filed subsequently by Mr. Williams the following additional grounds are civen:—The verdict is contrary tolaw. The verdict is Incom- Jase imperfect and contradictory, and no valid judginent and sentence can be rendered upon it. ‘ne verdict is based upon evidence improperly ad- mitted by the court, of acts done prior to the 20th day of May, 1879. ‘The court improperly admitted evidence of acts not set out and charged in this indictment, thereby misleading the jury to the prejudice of this d-fendant. The court improperly refused to admit evidence offered by the detend- ants, thus depriving them of their rizht toa fair and impartial trial. The court misdirected the Jury in its charge as to the law of the case. The court, In answer to the interrogatories of the jurors after they had stated they could not agree, erred in calling their attention to the order of ex- pedition on route 35,015, and ‘deciding that there Was no vartance;. that the overt act was proved, and If they found the conspiracy to be proved the defendants could not escape conviction. The court erred in instructing the jury to omtt the name of J.M. Peck from their verdict, the jury havi found that this defendant had not conspired wit W. H. Turner and J. M. Peck, as alleged in the in- dictment. “Because the court refused to give the Proper instructions asked to be given by tls de- endan Mr, Henkle’s motion for a new trial in Miner's case is based on grounds similar to those set out in support of afr, William’s motion. New Trial Ordered. Attorney General Brewster yesterday tele- graphed to counsel in the star route case in very Positive terms to “make preparations for a speedy retrial of these defendants.” Itis the purpose of counsel to bring the case into court again, us early as practicable. What District Attorney Corkhill Says as to the New Trial. Mr. Merrick had a conference to-day with Dis- trict Attorney Corkhill, who returned to the city last evening, as to having a speedy retrial of Brady, Vaile, and the two Dorseys, and it was concluded best to call the case in November or December, as soon after the new term begins a3 possible. “Mr. Corkhill talking to-day to a STaR Teporter said: “I think that a new trial ought to be had ‘n these cases as soon as possible, and I Mil allow no public business to interiere with Foreman Dickson’s Bribery Story. WHAT IS KNOWN OF BOWEN AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, An examtnation of papers at the Department of Justice shows that Henry A. Bowen was appointed an agent to attend to some affairs in Arizona on the 22 6f August, and left for Arizona on the fol- lowing day. When Bowen’s name was mentioned by Dickson it was first denied that there was a Bowen employed in the department, as owing to the nature of Bowen’s appointment it was not generally known even in the department. He was hot appointed as “special agent” as that term 1s used. Efforts are being made to ascertain Bowen's present whereabouts, so that le could be tele- graphed for and brought here pending an investi- gation of Mr. Dickson’s charges. WHAT MR. KER SAYS. Mr. Ker said to a Srar reporter to-day that he and other special counsel in the star route case would not conduct this investigation, as it was a matter for the district attorney’s office. “Does not the fact of Bowen’s appointment,” asked the reporter, “corroborate Mr. Dickson's statement?” “Corroborate!” exclaimed Mr, Ker. “Why Dick- son knew of Bowen’s appointment. I have no doubt they drank together; taat Bowen showed Dickson his acpoliineas and Dickson congratu- lated him uponit. Dickson is elther laboring under a terrible mistake or he 18 performing : plece of infamy. Why, if a man was to be employed to approach Dickson would not some man tnthnate ‘with Dickson—more intimate than Bowen—be em- loyed? Do you think tins man Bowen, who was just appointed, and who I do not believe knew the Attorney General, would be the man to bring about an interview with the Attorney Generali? It might be that in the over zealof a newly- ted officer this man said something, but I don’t believe it. Now Brewster Cameron 1s a man who «i not drink, a member of the bar, and 2 man of such integrity that Iwould just as soon belleve a charge against my own brother as against him.” “THE LAWYER NAMED FALIS,” referred to by Mr. Dickson as one who interviewed Juror Holmead as an officer of the Department of Justice, is understood to be Mr. Frank H. Fall, who has been engaged in some special cases by the De- partment of Justice. Mr. A. J. Falls, the only attor- ney of that name in the city. has no connection with the Department of Justice and fs entirely cleared of any connection with the affair by tue Officers of that department. Mr. A. J. Falls states Sapna, that he knows none of the jurors, and has never spoken to any one of them during or since the trial. _ WHO 13 BOWEN. 2 Bowen, the party mentioned as having ap- proached Mr. Dickson improperly, is ‘a son of Henry C. Bowen, the well known New York jour- nalist, and for a number of years was a broker in Wail street in that city, the firm being Fitch & Bowen. ‘The Attempt to Bribe Juror Doniphan. Juror Doniphan has written out a full statement of an attempt to bribe him, which Is now in the hands of Mr. Ker, which is substantially as fol- lows: Before the jury was sworna man named Shaw, one of the regular panel, expressed a desire to get on the jury which was to try the star route case, and asked Doniphan what the chances were for getting on.
