PROCEEDINGS IN COURT TO-DAY. THE BRIBERY CHARGES DISCUSSED. RERDELL AND MINER GRANTED A NEW TRIAL, The Criminal Court met this morning to con- sider the motions for a new trial in the cases of Rerdell and Miner, the two star route defendants convicted by the Jury. Messrs. Henkle, Totten, Wilson, and Carpenter, of counsel for the defense, and Messrs, Ker and Merrick, of the prosecution, were present. Rerdell and Miner were brought to court and sat with their counsel Mr. Brady wa also present. The court having asked Mr. Henkle it he was ready with the affidavit he proposed to flie, Mr. Henkle handed a number of papers to the clerk. JUROR HOLMEAD’S AFFIDAVIT. Mr. Henkle sald he had sent for one of the ju- rors, Mr. Holmead, and asked him for an aMdavit. Mr. Holmead had said that he had made an am davit and given it to Mr. Moore, the assistant Dis- trict. Attorney, who told Mr. Holmead that he could not have a copy of it, as they did not want the counsel for the defendants to have them. There- upon Mr. Henkle had got Mr. Holmead to sign letter addressed to the court, stating the cireum- stances, This letter was handed to Judge Wylie. MR. MERRICK ON THE VERDICT. Mr. Merrick sad that he had not had opportu- nity to confer with the Attorney General or with Mr. Ker. As counsel for the United States he felt ithis duty not to oppose this motion for anew trial. The government of the United States itself Was not entirely satisfied with this verdict. ‘The servants were convicted and the masters not. It was a verdict that presupposed a conspiracy to de- fraud the United States, and conclusive and satls- factory proof of an overt act, That having been found’by a jury necessarily let for them the sole inquiry as to Who was in the conspiracy. It was apparent to all men that deeply guilty as Rerdell and Miner were, the guilt they did was the scheme and device of others. Now the government of the United States could not object with dignity to this motion, which sought to bring to trial again ser- vants and masters. The government of the United States sought no victim. “The government counsel therefore left these motions to the discretion of the court, not consenting and not resisting, deter- mined to’ continue the prosecution of criminals, and hoping: that justice would prev:til. MR, HENKLE’S MOTION—“MISBEHAVIOR OF JURY.” At the request of Judge Wyle, Mr. Henkle read his motion for a new trial. One of the grounds stated was “anisbehavior of the jury.” Judge Wylle asked what was the evidence of misbehavior of the jury. Mr. Henkle stated he had taken no evidence as to this point, though he thought the aMdavits of Jurors showed that. Mr. Henkle remarked that One of the jurors sald that if they had been polled they would have sald that that was not their verdict. THE ‘MR. HENKLB’S CONCESSION. Mr. Merrick said nine of them, who voted guilty straight through, were consistent, and Mr. Henkle Sald he conceded that. DICKSON’S AFFIDAVIT. Mr. Henkle here read the affidavit of Mr. Dickson as to the alleged approach of Henry €. Bowen +r of $25,000 to influence hts (Dicksou’s) action as a juryman. FOREMAN DICKSON AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Mr. Merrick sald he had prepared no affidavits, but he belleved Mr. Dickson had stated that he be- Meved the Attorney General had no knowledge of this action of Bowen’s, Mr. Carpenter sald he was aware that Mr. Dick- son had made such a statement, JUROR MCLAIN A MARYLAND VOTER. Mr. Henkle sald the only ether afidavit he had was one setting forth tha. ;:ror McLain was a resident of Prince George’s ~vunty, Md., and voted there at the last election. JUDGE WYLIE SAID that before the jury retired Mr. Ingersoll inquired of the court whether the members of the jury were at liberty to discuss the offers 6f bribery said to have been made. The court was of opinion that such a discussion would be highly improper, It might affect the verdict, which should rest upon the evidence alone. A discusston of that kind woull have been calculated to mislead the minds of the jury, and the jury was Informed by tho court that Such a discussion suould not be allowed. Whether the jury had transgressed this rule or not the court was not informed. MR. HOLMEAD'S AFFIDAVIT. Mr. Henkle sald that he was tn hopes that the court would send to the district attorney’s office for the affidavit of Mr. Hotinead, witch was of the same nature, describing an app roach made to him by an officer'of the Departiacat of Justice. Mr. Merrick sald that Mr. Holmead’s affidavit did not represent that any offer had been made. MR. HENKLE’S REASONS FOR WANTING THE VER- DICT SET ASIDE. Mr. Henkle satd he based his motion to set aside the verdict entirely on Mr, Dickson’s aMdavit, and had authorities to show that even If an approach was made in thename of a party, though it was unauthorized, it was sufficient to justity setting aside the verdict. FOREMAN DICKSON DISREGARDING THE TIONS OF THE COURT. Mr. Merrick sald that as to setting aside a verdict on that ground, he would resist the motion and ask leave to procure ani file aflidavits show- ing that Dickson did not belleve that the offer cate from the Attorney General; that he had sald {t did not Influence ht5 verdict; and, further, that Mr. Dickson had read his statement in the jury room after being instructed not to do so by the court. After Mr. Henkle had read extracts from one or two books, Juror Doniphan having come Into court, Mr. Merrick said that one or two of the jurors were In court, and the court had power to examine them as to alleged misbehavior. Judge Wylie, however, made no reply. WHAT JUDGE WYLIE WANTED TO KNOW. Judge Wyllie wanted to know if the counsel could cite a case of offers or proposals or bribes coming from a party not connected with the case, INSTRUC THE COURT-ROOM FULE OF SPOTTERS. Mr. Henkle said he could not at that time. He had never seen a case like this. The court-room had been full of “spotters” and low men, who had shadowed jurors, counsel and witnesses ‘in the in- terestof the government, “Have you any proof of that?” asked Mr. Mer- “TI will furnish it to you, if you want It,” said Mr. Henkle, “when the other question comes to be opened, but I did not. intend to say anything about “It may be,” said Mr. “that there was ‘no bribe in Dickson’s case, and that it was a PUT UP JOB BY THE DEFENDANTS.” “You will havea hard time,” sald Mr. Carpen- ter, “to prove that.” Mr: Totten argued that the verdict was incon- ‘sistent and should be set aside. Assistant District At Moore having ap- peared, read the affidavit of yr Holmead, Juror Holmead’s Affidavit. ‘The affidavit set forth, with considerable detail, that during the second week of the trial Frank H. Fall came to see him at his howse at Mount Pleas- ant; stated that the Attorney General had sent him; that hé (Holmead) was the only juror not, ‘under suspicion; that. the Attorns eneral had Breote Dickson ‘aid Mariners. suspectads ae i and Mat si ; af- fant Said that he was su ‘at such a state. ment, and defended the jurors named; Fall said that Dorsey and Brady were [satay algae hed of money to corrupt the jury, and it woul shame to have the government sold out; aMlant sald that if he had any knowledge of facts showing corrup- tion he would consider tt his duty to report them 'y General; that on the plowing Sunday evening Fail called: ‘and eMfant tol ‘him to tell the Attorney that he would do all he could to prevent or detect corrupt! BT Mr. Moore said he had taken thisaMdavit for the particular purpose of investigation, and desired not to file tt. The district attorney sald also that those papers were private, Mr. Moore said he had two other aMdavits of ju- rors, but the court sald he would not ask for others, Judge Wylie Awards a New Trial to dell and Miner. Judge Wylle remarked that there was no affida- vit of misconduct on the part of the jury. He did not think these aMdavits offered suMicient grounds for granting the motion. Tampering with a jury was a serious thing, but ashe understood the rule, It must be shown that the attempts were made by parties to the trial. The rule did not extend to third persons, for the reason that a defendant, ap- preiensive of'a verdict against him, might procure & third party to represent, that he came to the Juror in Vehaif of a plaintiff in the case. By em- ploying an artifice of that kind, he couid secure himself against an adverse verdict. If an agent In behalf of the prosecution should attempt to Influence the mind of a juror that would good grounds for setting aside the verdict. If the person making the attempt be some person with- out authority from the government, or having no. connection with the government, and should talk with a juror, representing himselt to be authorized, and endeavor to influence the juror, he did not think that would justify setting astde tle verdict. A defendant conscious of guilt, if such were the rule, would always have tt in his power to annul a ver” dict. If the bribe were actually paid, probably the rule would be different, no matter whence {t came, because the acceptance of the money would be proof of the corruption of the juror. Under the circumstances of the case, however, and constder- ing the rather incoherent character of the yerdic he thought it would be safe for the court to sume what was conceded by counsel, that thls matter of bribery was Improperly discussed In the Jury room, and in that view the court would award a new trial. Conflicting Statements. Mr. Carpenter said he thought that the counsel were under ® misapprehension as to when the paper of Dickson was read to the jury. He under- stood that it was read long before the jury retired. Mr. Merrick said he was told by four or five of the jurymen that it was read after the jury retired. He said Juror Tobriner was in court, and Judge Wylie said he would lke to hear what Mr. Tobri- ner had to say. One of the counsel said the case was settled, but Judge Wrlle sald mis word had not yet gone be- yond control. Juror Tobriner Examined as to Fore- man Dickson’s Disregard of the Courts Instructions. Mr. Tobriner having appeared, was sworn, and the court interrogated him as to whether after the jury retired this subject of bribery was spoken of and discussed before the Jury. Mr. Tobriner sald that one or two hours after the jury went to their room, Mr. Dickson took out the papers, and said that $25,000 had been offered him; that he had put down after the interview what had been said. Mr. Dickson read the paper to the jury. The jury did not want to hear it. Mr. McNelly and others sald that the papers ought not to be read. Then a vote was taken, and it was decided that the papers should be read. Mr. Dickson had sald that the paper was true, “So help me God,” The Verdict Set Aside. “That verdict of guilty then,” sald Judge Wylie, “as to Rerdell and Miner ts set aside, not only on account of misconduct of the jury, but from gen- | eral unreasonableness.” Judge Wylie said that the court would not set aside a verdict on the ground of unreasonabieness, ordinarily, as that was a matter for the jury alone, unless it shocks the court. As regards to these two, he could not say that that was a fact, for the court had instructed the jury that any two of the defendants could be found guilty. Although these two men were at the ends of the line 1t did not appear to the court that they would be in a con- splracy without others. When the court saw that a jury discussed other matters than the evidence, it was proper for it to set aside the verdict. As to the acquittal or Turner, of course the verdict stood. ‘The Question of Bal Addiscussion then arose as to the amount of bail required. Judge Wylie, after reviewing the case, said he thought under the circumstances that he should Tequire $10,000 from each of these defendants. r. Henkle proposed Mr. A. H. Brown and Mr. Vaile as security for Miner. “T object to Mr. Vaile,” sald Mr. Merrick. ‘You had better get all the security you can,” sald Judze Wylie. Mr. Brown not appearing, Mr. L. P. Williamson Was substituted in his place. Mr. Vaile said, in reply to the court, that hecould qualify In the sum of $100,000, of which $50,000 was in real estate. Mr. Merrick wanted to ask Mr. Vaile how much he was worth, but was not allowed to. Messrs. Vaile and Williamson then qualified as bondsmen for Rerdell. act, © Michards appeared and bonded for Rer- i The New Trial. When this matter had been attended to Mr. Mer- Tick said that the next thing in order was to as- sign a day for the trial of this case. He asked the court to fix the first Monday of December. Mr, Henkle said he did not think the prosecution Should press the court tofixa day now. They were all prostrated now and needed time to rest. After some discussion Judge Wylle sald to the defendants: “The longer notice you have the bet- ter. The trialof this case is Axed for the first Monday in December.” The court was then, after attending to some matters not connected with this case, adjourned. Rerdell and Miner left the court with the other defendants, ‘The Result of the Proceedings. The result of the proceedingsin the Criminal Court to-day, lawyers say, puts the government in much better shape to go to trial again than if Rer- dell and Miner had gone to the penitentiary, The testimony relating to Rerdell’s confession, and other matters relating to Miner, it is claimed, could not be introduced if they were not defend- ants in the new trial, and the omission of that testimony might weaken the government's case. Again, serious embarrassment night have arisen if Rerdell and Miner’s case had been pending be- fore the Court in General Term while the other case was being tried. Then, there 1s a chance now of Potting Miner or Rerdell as a state's wit- ness without prejudice. MR. BREWSTER CAMERON, special agent of the Department of Justice, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the alleged bribery charges of the star route jury, who isin San Francisco, last evening received a dis- Patch from this city, ordering him to immediately Teturn here. Not a Paral Case. Tn reference to the case referred to in a morning paper in which the course of Mr. Henry Gaither standing out for the innocence of one White on trial for setting fire to the old Treasury depart- ment, is compared to Mr. Dickson’s course in the star route trial, White being afterwards acquitted, Mr. Jenkin Thomas gives the following account: There were two brothers named White, who were tried separately for this offense, and the one tried first was convicted and sent to’the penitentiary. On the trial of the other brother Henry Gaither held out for conviction, and on a new trial four jurors did likewise; on the third trial White was ac- quite by reason of the absence of one of the prin- cipal witnesses. The convicted brother was after- wards pardoned. The Residence of Juror McLain. Mr. Henkle submitted to the court this morning affidavits regarding the residence of Juror Mc- Lain. Frederick A.
