When the star route trial was taken up this morning Mr. Ingersoll concluded his argument in reference to the adinissibility of the questions Prozounded to Mr. Brady respecting the Price drafts. Mz Ingersoll argued that it was absurd to admit evidence against these joint defendants, which, he claimed, would not be admissible “If Brady were indicted alone. If the government could go tuto the Indianola and Corpus Christi route to prove that Brady there acted improperly, the defense could go into all the other routes and prove that in them he acted properiy. The effort to wander into other cases he thought showed that the government was satisfled that they had not succeeded in this. Judge Wylie’s Ruling. Judge Wylle sald that yesterday he had de- clined to permit. the witness (Brady) from _tender- ing his testimony. Asa general rule a witness could waive his priviiegea, but tt was the duty of the court to see that no irrelevant testimony was admitted, and the question here was whether the evidence Was frrelcvant. ‘There were two classes of evidence the court could recelve—one class to establish the conspiracy and one class to estab- Ush overt acts. This testimony was not offered to prove an overt act, and if competent at all it was competent under the other head—to prove a conspiracy. Referring to the doctrine of agency which applied to a criminal case ot conspiracy he cited an opinion by Judge Story in the case of the U. S. agt. Gooding, 18th Wheaton. It_seemed tohim thatthe present offer was an offer to prove an act of Brady alone in regard to another matter wholly distinct from the matter involved in the indictment. Where was the au- thority from the other defendants to bind them tn his dealings with Price? He saw none, and there was none implied. His declarations and acts in tis connection were not so connected with the subject-matter of the Indictment as to confer any authority upon him at all. Then the evidence could apply to him only. They had received evi- dence of acts of Separate defendants connected with the subject of the indictment with a pledze that there should be a bond produced whieh woul't untte them and show them to be acts done tn fur- terance of a common purpose. But this transac- tion was not in the Indictment. There was noth- ing init, unless it be the general character—the Tesemblance of one case to another—and that was not suMcient ground for admitting 1t against these joint defendants. Then it was clear that it could not be admitted as against all the defendants. It was urged that — this testimony was admissible against Brady as show- ing motive. There was nothing in the case to show that there was a common character between the transaction offered in evidence and that charged tn the indictment. If the evidence was recelved there would be no chance of uniting it With the other defendants. That would be trying Brady alone for a crime not in this indictment. ‘The fact that the evidence offered did not tend to embrace more than one of the defendants, he thought was sufficient ground for the exclusion of the evidence, and he therefore excluded 1t. Brady’s Cross-Examination Resumed. Mr. Brady then resumed his place on the stand, and Mr. Biiss continued the cross-examination in- terrupted last Friday by the question arising re- garding the admisstbility of questions concerning the Price drafts. ‘The witness was questioned as to his methods of estimating the value of service. He said he had not readvertised the Bismarck’ and Tongue River route, when be knew that the service would not be performed at the contract rate, but pre- ferred to give on increase to the contactor, be- cause at a reletting, a8 it was anew and difficult route, they would run the same risk of some one’s taking 1Lat a price inadequate for the service. ‘The witness said he was unWilling to state what Senators or Members Interested themselves in the later orders on the Mineral Park and Ploche route. He believed that the Senators and Represento- tives from Nevada and the delegate trom Utah interested themselves in getting the original orders made, ‘The witness was asked what right, he had, simply on the letter of Mr. Sidney Dilidn, so far as the jacket indicated, to revoke the order cut- Ung down tho expedition on the Mineral Park route six days after it was made and thereby giv- ing the contractors $20,000 on_ the plea that injus- tice had Been done them. The witness replied that he had the power and right under the law. The contractors complained that wrong was done them and that was urged by Senator Plumb. ‘The witness could not say why 1t did not appear on the Jacket that the service was restored in justice to the contractor. He could not remember what contractor had approached him and urged that in- Justice had been done. He did not know what 1 terest Senator Plumb, of Kansas, had in an Ari- zona route, but the Senator stated that he came to see him in the Interest of the contractors, who were friends of his. After recess Mr. Brady’s cross-examination was continued, the Witness being questioned as to va- Tious orders. NOTES. Mr. James W. Bosler, who was arrested yester- day afternoon at his home, in Carlisle, Pa., as stated In the telegrams to THe Stax, for assault- ing the deputy marshal who served upon him a subpoona as a starroute witness, was taken to Philadelphia yesterday afternoon ‘tor a hearing. He was held in $1,000 ball to answer at the May term of the United States district court, BrsHyHeap, the principal chief of the Cherokee Indians, with ten members of the tribe, called on the Indian commisstoner this morning and stated that a council of the tribe would be called shortly to take action in regard to the fences in the ‘Territory. They wished the commissioner to with- hold action until their people had been consulted. ‘The commissioner consented to the delay.

A REIGN OF TERROR INTHE CREEK CoUNTRY.— Special Agent Townsend, who ts now In the Creek country, writes to the Indlan commissioner under date of March 15th in regard to the situation there. In the vicinity of the Sac and Fox agency he says that a reign of terror prevails, He thinks that while this struggle is demonstrating the ca- pacity of the Creeks for self-government, yet the public welfare demands that the U. 8 government. put a stop very soon to further hostilities. The agent believes that the conflict will soon resolve itself into a guerrilla warfare among the Creeks. ARCHITECT MULLET?’S CLatM.—To-day Mr. A. B.

He has two locomotives of eighteen tons each, which he had specially butlt to haul the dump from the river channel to the flats, He experienced great difMficulty in driving his piles for his railroad, but now he has a super structure which will carry a railroad train. He has, I think, even stecl rails. The work 1s dif- ficult because of the or Seep ed of the deposit.” “ When will the dredging be completed 2” “ The contract gives the contractor until next September, but by reason of the unavoidable em- barrassuments the time ought to be extended.” ** Will you do any other work than dredging this summer?” “Oh, yes. Ihave already advertised for stone, &c., for the sea wall. In establishing the harbor lines the sea wall will be about 28,000 feet long— nearly five miles, When the dredging is. complete there will be a channel of twenty feet of water. This can be maintained for many years without further dredging. Tie Long bridge, to my mind, however, ought to come down. If not removed tt oucht to be reconstructed. Instead of a bridge with a number of 90-eet spans, there should be spans of 300 feet. ‘The bridge’ could be recon- structed for ratiroad and other travel by having the allroad go over the roadway to be used by pedestrians and wagons.” Major Hains believes the Improvement will be one which will be thoroughiy appreciated when completed. Occasionally he receives letters from Psuedo scientists and cranks, who say the work ought to be stopped, because it breeds malaria. He thinks the interests of the District would be | better subserved If the House would appoint a Special committee in charge of the flats improve- ments.

WHAT CHAIRMAN THOMPSON, OF THE CITIZENS’ COM- MITTEE, SAYS OF THER RELEASE. ‘The pardon of the three-card monte men, O'Leary and Murphy, by the President on Saturday, Uhrough the representations of the citizens’ com- mittee, has given rise to comment in some quar- ters to the effect that the evidence of these men may not be belleved by a jury after all. And fur- ther, that a great responsibility attaches to Ung such men loose again in the community. A reporter of THs STAR called the attention 0: Mr. Joun W.

THE METHODS EXPLAINED IN THE POLICE COURT. ‘The mode of operating the game of policy was pretty thoroughly explained in the Police Court this afternoon during the trial of William Wagner, of Maryland avenue southwest, who was charged by License Agent Raff with “backing policy.” Mr. Charles Pelham appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Randolph Coyle for the government Thomas Burk, of No. 1859 Ohio avenue, testified that he has known the defendant for two years, and was in hisemploy. His duties were to collect the books of manifold paper containing “plays,” and also the moncy put on the from tle writers, and carry them to the office of the detend- ant and one J. W. Clark. Twice a aay he would Tecelve a clpher telegram and would print the drawings with a printing press and distribute them among the writers. The following cipher telegram, representing the numbers of a drawing, Was put in evidence: “Africa, bacon, chicken, doric, envy, fremont, gloom, bope, improper, lane, misery, news, deluge and h testified that after the writers’ books were exam- ined and the plays compared with the drawings the money for the “hits” was put into envelopes and sent to the writers, who Paid it to the parties Who drew prizes. Jullus R. Fauth, of 835 Pennsyl- Vania avenue, also testified to eg es in the employ of the defendant and J. W. ‘lark, at No. 1422 Pennsylvania avenue. He stated that’he was a clerk for the firm, and his description of the: game corresponded wit that of the former witness. {t was his duty to put the “hits” tn envelopes, Which were sometiines from 90 cents to §1,000° A colored witness testified that on the 15th of last ebrew.” ‘The witness November the “money row” (13, 20, 43, 44 and 45) came out, and they were struck for a pumber of heavy plays;some of them were pald and some were hot, and the defendant then went out of the busi- ness. This closed the evidence for the prosecu- Uon. Mr. Pelham claimed that the government had made out no case, “The evidence is not only sufiictent to convict the defendant,” said Mr. ut it shows that the evil 13 so great that the severest penalty should be imposed.
