REPRESENTA’ ELFORD THE FIRST WITNESS. When the star route trial was resumed this morning there was a good attendance in court and considerable interest manifested, as the plan of Procedure adopted by the defense, who were to open their case to-day, had not been revealed. TESTIMONY OF REPRESENTATIVE BELFORD. The first witness called by Mr. Ingersoll was James B, Belford, member of Congress from Col- orado. He said that he had resided in Central City, Colorado, since June, 1870. He said he had represented the state in Congress ever since It was mitted into the Union, with the exception of one Cons to which he had been elected, but did not get his seat. “You qe to stand up that session,” said Mr. Ingersol "The witness testified to a thorough acquaintance with the state and 1's growth. He identified his signature on a petition for inctease of mall factl- ites. Mr. Ingersoll asked the witness if, in 1870, the people of Colorado were anxious for increased mail facilities, Mr. Ingersoll said he wanted to show that Mr. Belford received many letters on the subject, and frequently visited the Post OMice department. MR. MERRICK, OBJECTING TO THE QUESTION, said that how the expressions of a peop! covering so large a territory as Colorado could be intro- duced to throw light on the issue which affected only a mail route in one small locality he was un- able to see. If Mr. Belford was allowed to give this testimony, he would have to call Senator Hill and show that Mr. Belford had frequently asked him to join in these requests, and he had He had had a talk, he sald, with Mr. ay. Mr Ingersoll argued that this testimony was competent, as it showed another motive for the acts of the Second Assistant Postmaster General than a criminal one. JUDGE WYLIE SAID the petition endorsed by Mr. Belford was in evi- dence, and he thought whatever Mr. Belford said about that petition or any other petition in evi- dence was competent. Beyond that whatever re- es to general, Policy he did not consider admis- A LETTER WANTED. Mr. Wilson wanted the prosecution to produce a letter from the state officers of Colorado, trans- mitted to the Post Office department by the wit- hess, but the prosecution did not have it. Mr. Wil- son insisted that they should have the letter pro- duced, and said that he had had issued a sub- poona duces lecurn for the Second Assistant Post- master General to bring the paper, and the paper had not come. He Kr Mr. Woodward knew ail about the pape, and he wanted Mr. Woodward to go and get the paper. ‘ar. Woodward, ‘who was sitting by Mr. Mer- Tick, protested that he had not handled the papers at this trial. “Mr. Woodward,” sald Mr. Merrick, “must not leave this court room. I want him.” “The question,” said Mr. Wilson, “13 one Involy- ing the ‘authority of the court. {We want taose papers.” “You shall have them,” said Mr. Merrick. “We want them now,” said Mr, Wilson, sharply, “What do you ask?” said fudge Wylle. “We ask these papers,” repeated Mr. Wilson. “Well, you must have the witness here who was ordered to bring them,” satd Judge Wylie. Mr. Merrick said that the prosecution would aid them in getting the papers. BELFORD’S CONVERSATIONS WITH BRADY. The witness then testified to having, in conver- sattons with Brady,represented to him the growth of the state and the nced of mail facilities. While he was testifying he described the scenes af San Juan county when he first went there to hol court, and then described the scene there some days ago, “He is telling,” sald Mr. Merrick, “what he told Brady several years ago, aud it happened the other day.” “Here ig astate,” said Mr. Wilson, “a great deal larger than all New England—” “Well,” said Judge Wylie, “suppose it was as big as the world.” rr. Wilson argued that he should be allowed to prove these matters, as to the growth of the state. The court having permitted such testimony, Mr. Belford gave a glowing description of Leadville, Silverton, and other cities and towns of Colorado. AN OBJECTION SUSTAINED. “Did you,” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “ever receive any money or any check for any money from 8.W. Dorsey, or any one of these defendants, in con- sideration of what you did in this matter?” ‘Walt a moment; I object,” said Mr. Merrick. ‘The objection is sustained,” said Judge oe Mr. Merrick sald it probably had not been noticed by counsel that everything that was accl- dentally said of this witness was stricken from the record by order of the court. “stricken out of what?” asked Mr. Carpenter. ‘Out of the record,” said Mr. Mergck. “But not out of the press,” said Mr. Carpenter. “We are not trying this case in the press,” said Bowen and His Bondsman. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY APPLIES FOR AND OBTAINS A WRIT OF SCIERE FACIAS AGAINST THEM. District Attorney Corxhill came into the Police Court this morning, and called Judge Snell's at- tention to the case of Wm. Dickeon, recently be- fore this court, in which Henry A. Bowen was summoned as a witness, and gave $1,000 bonds for his appearance as such. “He failed to appear,” continued Mr. Corkhill, “ and his bonds have been forfeited. I destre to see if it is posst The bondsman for Bowen is Rdwarc Devlin, keeper of a second- hand store on D street, near 7th street.

Mr. Ingersoll argued that the testimony was ad- missibie to contradict Rerdell. Mr. Merrick sald that the testimony concerning Mr. Belford was brought out upon the cross-ex- amination of Rerdell and constituted no part of the case of the Rovernment. | If the defense had desired to show that the statement was untrue why had they not produced the book. If they sought tO disprove this statement he (Mr. Mer- Tick) would have to go into proof to sustaln it. He asked in justice to this gentleman (Mr. Belford) to have this matter stricken from the record. JUDGE WYLIE SUSTAINS MR. MERRICK’S OBJECTION. Judge Wylie saida notice had been given by the government tothe defense’ to produce this check book. They had refused to produce the book. They had not dented its possession, and the court had a right to assume that the books ex- isted and were inthe hands of the defense. If the defense wanted to contradict the wit- ness after that {t must be in regard to some essential matter. Mr. Belford was not on trial. Though that stub, it was testified, was drawn to order of Mr. Belford, still it did not follow that it was an illegal or improper: transaction; though the check ht have been drawn in the ‘name of Mr. Belford the money might havé been drawn by the bearer and Mr. Belford might never have known that the check was drawn. The rule was that they could not contradict a witness while they held the written evidence in their possession and re! to produce it. He therefore sustained Mr. Merrick’s objection.

He argued at some Jongth in support of the adnlsstbility of the ques- jon. Mr. Wilson argued that it was npt claimed that these books belonged to his clien § Brady), or that hig client had refused to produce taem. He now asked this evidence in behalf of his client, ‘Mr. Bliss that Belford received the check, and the best proof to contradict him was the book. JUDGE WYLIE ON THE FROOFS OF CONSPIRACY. Mr. Davidge having urged that the evidence be admitted in justice to the witness on the stand, Judge Wylie said that so far as this witness was concerned the same result could be obtained by his going before lee ot od ged and making an affidavit. ae at this stage good a inquiring if there are any roomsunder their control that can be made available for thts purpose.
