He is Cross-Examined by Mr. Bliss as to His Income, His Expediting Processes, Etc. Judge Wylie’s court room was well filled with spectators when the star route trial was resumed this morning. Mr. Brady took his place on the stand soon after the court opened, taking with him a package of papers. Mr. Wilson resumed the examination-in-chiet. The witness said he did not know, and had no means of knowing, that the mall was already be- Ing carried on the Redding and Alturas route, at the time it was expedited, faster than the expedt- fed schedule demanded. Even if it haa 7 known, there would have been no diffecence, as without the order they could not compel the con- tractor to carry the mail at fast time. The wit- ness described his efforts to get the Southern Paci- fle railroad to carry the mall over the territory supplied by the Tres Alamos and Clifton route. On the Mineral Park and Pioche route the service was cut down, as it was not properly performed. Subsequently, upon representations that injustice had been done to the contractor, the service was made tri-weckly, to give the contractor an oppor- tunity to improve the service. Subsequently per- sistent endeavors were made to have the service increased to dafly, but the application was refused. Mr. Wilson desired to have the witness state the circumstances. The witness hestiating, Mr. Wilson observed that inasmuch as tuere Was a paper in evidence here COMING FROM THE EXECUTIVE MANSION, concerning the route, the witness should have no delicacy in stating the circumstances. The wit- ness sald he was not willing to mention the names of people not connected with the case, saying: “I don’t think tt concerns this case at all. It was subsequent to any action complained of here.” The witness gave further testimony of a similar character in justification of orders. He dented having ever written to any postmaster Instructing him not to use his maii bills. He sald these matters Were left with Mr. Lake, chief of the inspection division, whose severity'was complained of con- stantly by contractors. Mr. Wilson closed his examination by asking the witness if he had ever entered into any ar- Tangement to defraud the government, and the withess answered “No.” froxs-Examination by Mr. Blivs. Mr. Bilss then began hiscros:-examination. The witness said before becoming Second Assistant Postmaster General he had studied law, been em- ployed as school teacher, served in the army during the war, practiced law after the war and published a newspaper; then in 1870 was ap- poluted consul at St. Thomas, which office he held until 1875, when he was appointed supervisor of internal revenue, holding that office until he was appointed Second Assistant Postmaster General, As consul at St. Thomas he received a salary ot $4,000 a year. As supervisor of internal revenue he received $3,000 a year. ‘MR. INGERSOLL OBJECTS. At this point Mr. Ingersoll objected, that the matter had nothing to do with this case. Mr. Bilss urged that he thought it was pertinent to show the amount and source of the witness’ income, as they proposed also to show that soon after his appointment to the office of Second Assistant Postmaster General he became possessed of large wealth. Judge Write said he knew of no authority for the admisston of such evidence. Mr. Bliss walved the question for the time until he could produce authority. The witness was then questioned as to the weight he gave to petitions and the revenues of routes. In the new states and territories where the mail service was_being built, up the westion of revenue had very little weight. He sald he ar- rived at the conclusion that something like an equality of mall service was due every Secticn of the country in the early part of 1877. The witness Was cross-examined as some of the orders— whether he had considered that frequent trips coul have been added in lien of the costly expe- ited service, and whether he had considered the Tevenues of the route. The witness said fast time was frequently of more importance than fre- quency of trips, and that the revenues derived from the sale of stamps was not a just criterion of the value of a route. He could not tell now what occurred to his mind when making these orders. The witness satd that he éould not tell exactly what weight he gave to petitions. He was influ- enced a great deal by the recommendations and IMPORTUNITIEG OF SENATORS AND REPRESENTA- TIVES, Sometimes Senators and Representatives asked more than could be given them and were refused. “We could not give a man all h> asked,” sald the witness. “We had to distribute.” The witness sald that It depenaed somewhat on the mood he Was in whether he ordered increases, “You governed your increases, then,” sald Mr. Bliss, “by the moods you were in?” “I was Somewhat given to moods,” said the wit- ness, “and was on some days more liberal than others.” “Your mood was principally the imperative mood, was it not?” asked Mr. Bliss. “J was rather imperative, I confess, In a great many things,” sald the witness, The witness sald in relation to his having ex- pelted the Rawlings and White River route toa faster time than the Senators and Representatives asked that it was not worth while to expedite the service unless the time was made fast. ‘The witness said he did not believe that it was a fact that the expedited mail on the Rawlings and White River route arrived at the end of the route two hours after the eastern mall had gone, 80 that the expedition was useless so far as mak- ing mail connections were concerned. AFTER THE NOON RECESS Mr. Bilss continued the cross-examination, going through the various routes and eliciting Brady’s explanation of the various orders, In regard to an order for 50 hours service in the face of n statement by a postmaster that such a ser- vice was impossible, the witness said his reason for making the order was because nothing was im- possible In that direction if the contractor em- ployed a suMctent number of men and horses. ‘The witness said that he could not recollect hav- ing ever attempted to verity letters and petitions coming to him from responstble parties. The witness said It seemed to nim ridiculous to think that a slow service, six times a week, would be better than a trl-weekly service at a faster schedule, He answered that the petitions Were the {ree expressions of the wishes of the peo- ple. Brady’s Defense, THE EX-SECOND ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL ON THE STAND. After THE Srar’s report of the star route trial closed yesterday Mr. Wilson continued his exam- ination of Mr. Brady until the court adjourned at 4 o'clock. Mr. Brady said he thought the conver- sation detailed by Mr. James on the stand, on the ‘subject of expedition, was correct, except that it occurred a month later than the date at which Mr, James fixed It, and It was not about the Raw- ings and White River route, but about a Texas route. The witness said that he had spoken to Mr. James about his policy, and may have spoken ‘sneeringly about Mr. James’ sudden conv mn to economy. “St. Paul was converted in a day,” observed Judge Wylle. Mr. Wilson wanted to introduce a letter which the witness said would show James once approved his policy, but it was ruled out. He said he had a conversation with Dorsey here in 1880, meeting him first at Willard’s and sfterwards at Chamber- Jain’s, where Bosler joined them. The conversa- tion was entirely political, and nothing was said about star routes. The Witness narrated how Vaile had come in to take the responsibility of the Miner-Peck routes, and the time for putting-on service wasextended. He made a aan denial of all charges of combination, and ever recelved money from a contractor. He went lberal policy o1 Post, partment, say- ing that Postmaster General Key was more liberal than he Was. “Probably,” observed the witai “af T had-gtaid in that department long enough Would have had a mail everywhere, and the people would have M glad of it,too.” The ‘witness dilated at some length upon the pressure exerted upon the office continually, by members of Congress, to get service increased.

THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE METROPOLE: TAN POLICE. The resolition adopted at the recent meeting of ton Commissioners. What action the latter will take cannot be predicted in advance, as so far nothing has been done that would indicate what the policy of the new board wili be. It is thought, howevar, that a rather conservative course will mark Une Adtinistration of affairs under the present board: but at the same time such a policy will not inter fere with plans tending to secure an efficient and FigoroUs management in the Various departments of the District government. The evils that all acknowledge exist at present will be corrected quiely, and withouticreating any great commo. on. ‘There ts,of course, creat interest manifested in this matter by the clUzens, and a certain feele ing of uncertainty among those who are more closely connected with the District government The uncertainty as to what Is to be done affects more or less all the offictals, and impairs some What their eMiciency. These defects will be reme edied In the course of time, When it becomes mane ifest what the Commissioners Intend to do, HE EXPERTENCE OF A CITIZEN WITH DETECTIVES, Mr. W. C.
