Cross-Examination of A. E, Boone. When the star route trial was resumed this morning Mr. Ingersoll continued his cross-exam!- nation of Mr. A. E. Boone. The witness said he had made a contract fixing his interest inthecom- ‘bination on the day when John W. Dorsey came here. Witness was a partner in the firm of John W. Dorsey & Co. He had not, either before or after the contract, made any effort to defraud the gov- ernment. Mr. Ingersoll offered in evidence the contract between the witness and John W. Dorsey, fixing John W. Dorsey’s interest at two-thirds and the witness’ interest at one-third in certain Taall contracts, and providing for the appoint- ment of acashier. The witness said he had been dissolved. The firm was dissolved August 8, 1878, When tie various interests were assigned by one to the other, so as to properly divide the routes. Mr. Ingersoll examined the witness to show that the bids destroyed and not put in by the contract- ors were for routes of six trips or more. Mr. Dor- sey told witness to make no proposals for routes over three times a week or under fifty miles. ihe Teason given by Mr. Miner was that it was difficulé to get bonds and certified checks for the more expensive routes. When the pack- ages of proposals came back from the Arkansas postmasters, they were left at witness’ house unopened. If any contracts wete awarded on Sane batt aie Vactpepgooninernt name. Witness thought in n ES to postmaster, except those sent to Mr. Clen-. denin, the blanks were filled, with that the amount of the bid ‘was sent to Mr. Clendenin were entirely-dp blank. AREMARK BY MR. MERRICK WHICH ‘TO CONTRO- VERSY. x Mr. Ingersoll having asked the Witness some questions regarding an agreement between Miner and the witness, in reference to an assignment of routes, Mr. Merrick remarked: “I would lke to ask ME. Miner some questions myself, if Ican get a chance.” : Mr. Ingersoll and Mr. Wilson desired to except to Mr, Merrick’s remark. i “Well,” sald Judge Wyle, “he means out of doors, I presume.” “No he don’t,” said Mr. Wilson. “How do you know what he means?” asked Judge Wylie. “I don’t think there was anything at ail in what he satd to prejudice Me, Miner.” “The law 13,” sald Mr. Ingersoll, “that the question of a defendant going on the stand should not be alluded to.” “That,” said Judge Wylle, “ls after the de- fendant has had an opportunity “to go on the stand. ‘The law,” said Mr. Merrick, “Is that the fact that a defendant does not’ go on the stand“ should Rot raise a presumption against htm.” Messrs. Merrick and Ingersoll still insisted on their exception as a right. Judge Wylic said exceptions were usually taken to alee of the court, but the éxce ption was recorded, ‘The witness sald he knew of no agreement with oar for tne increase and expedition of ser~ vice. : “I will goa little further,” said Mr. Ingersoll. “Did you suspect at that time that there was any such arrangement?” “It you will ike little further,” sald-Mr. Mer- rick, “and ask if he found it out afterwards I will not object.” ‘The court ruled the question out, CONVERSATIONS WITH BRADY AND DORSEY. The witness recounted a conversation with ‘Brady, in which Brady called his attention to The Dalles route, and notified him that if the service was not put on by August 15th the contractor would be declared a failing contractor. An argu- ment sprang up as to whether the cross-examina- ton could extend to’ other conversations with S. W. Dorsey than those adduced in the examina- tion in chief—Messra. Davidge and Wilson argu- ing that the cross-examination should have as its field all the conversations relating to the parece ny matter to which the conversations introduced the prosecution related. 5 THE COURT HELD that the rule was to confine the cross-examina- tion to matters stated in the direct exa mination, the party having the right in caseoft desiring to examine as to other matters to make the witness his own during the future progress of the case. He therefore confined the cross-examinatton to the matters and conversations referred to in the direct examination. ‘The witness was asked if one of the reasons he had quit the concern was not that 8. W. Dorsey had refused toadvance money. The witness sald that fact was taken into consideration by him, as the service would fail 1f no more money was forth- coming. He therefore concluded that it was best to let one in who had money.
