When the star route trial was resumed this morning Judge Wylie announced his decision upon the objection, argued yesterday afternoon, to Mr. Brady’s being questioned as to whether he had given one of thegPrice drafts to Mr. John A. Walsh. Before the judge proceeded Mr. Chandler submitted a number of authorities, JUDGE WYLIB'S RULING ADMITTING A QUESTION AS 70 THE PRICE DRAFTS. Judge Wylie, in deciding the question, made ‘some remarks ypon the limits of cross-examina- ton, and read from Greenleaf and Roscoe upon the subject. The court decided a few days ago,he sald, that it would not allow the counsel for the prosecution, on cross-examtnation, to go into an vestigation of a distinct offense alleged to have Deen committed by the witness on the stand for the reason that investigation would be irrelevgnt. That investigation was proj for the direct, purpose of adducing evidence matertal to the ts Sue. As tothe present question the court was clear that it is not a question affect- ing the issue of the case otherwise than collaterally—for the purpose, in one view, of enabling the jury to ascertain the weight to be given the evidence of the witness on the stand, and his relation to subjects under investization. The court quoted from Walsh's testimony that Brady had told him he might have divined trom the Price and Petersen drafts what Brady’s cus- tom as to orders for expedition was. Brady in his testimony denied ever having had any such con- Yersation with Walsh. There was direct conflict between the statements of the witness, The question the pu the credibility, or mem- ory, oF enlightening the relations between these two men, the prosecution can question the Witness on the stand as to matters in dispute between himself and Walsh. ‘The court had no doubt the question could be put. The question on its face Was an innocent one. It was admitted as an inquiry in regard to a coliateral matter. Mr. Brady then took his place on the stand. MR. BRADY'S DENIAL, Mr. Bilss repeated the question and Mr. Brady dented that he had evergiven the draft in question to Walsh, or that he had ever seen it before the last trial. Mr. Bilss then submitted to him the other Price Graft of the same date (July 13, 1880,) and the wit- ness made the game reply as to that. ‘The witness said that the par value of the Chat- tanooga stock he wanted to borrow from Walsh Was $30.00, and tt was then selling at from $21,000 to $24,000. "Witness did not remember when the stock was bought. He knew it was bought, be- cause Walsh visited witness at Hatch & Foote’s, in New York, to ask witness if it was a good pur- chase. Walsh bought it on the spot, through Hatch & Foote, giving his check. Witnesses’ ob- ject In borrowing the stock was simply to control it. At that time witness had some shares of Chat- tanooga. He probably had 3,000 full shares of Chattanooga, and possibly more. Witness was asked if he were not the,. trying to borrow from Walsh upon his obligations what ‘Was worth $21,000 or $24,000 tn the market. “I was trying to borrow 300 shares of Chatta- nooga stock,” said the witness, “Well, that was what It was worth at that time, ‘Was it not?” inquired Mr. Bliss. “That,” satd Mr. Brady, “was what we thought it Was Worth. The trouble was, that whenever We tried to sell 1t would run down.” The witness sald he did not know who owned the house where Gen. Sheridan lived on E street. WALSH'S SUIT AGAINST BRADY. The witness said there was now acivil suit of Walsh’s pending against him to recover money al- leged to have been loaned him. He entered this suit in May, 1831, about the time the Post Office department was making sweep‘ng remissions of fines and deductions witness had Impose Walsh. Witness dented that Walsh had ever a demand upon hin for money alleged to have been loaned, except through his attorney. He first made a demand in May or June, 1881, through Mr. Totten by letter. BRADY DENIES THE CONVERSATION WITH RERDELL. Mr. Buss, after questioning the witness as to Various things connected with the methods of business in his office, and as tothe reasons for Dassing certain orders, read the letter Which Rerdell testified he Sent to Bosler, May 224, | 1880,stating among other things that he had had 4 | Jong conversation with Brady that day concerning | the pending star route investigation. ‘The witness denied thet he had ever had such conversation with Rerdell as was there described. Cross-examination was in progress when our Teport closed. Brady ond Walsh. BRADY EXPLAINS THE MEANING OF THE “GINGER” LETTER—THE PRICE DRAFTS AGAIN, After THE Srar’s report of the star route trial closed yesterday, the trass-examination of Mr. Brady, with the incidental argument was con- tinued until the adjournment of the court at 4 o'clock. ‘The witness and he had frequently had conversations with Walsh at Gen. Sheridan’ house on E street, but repeated his denials of ever having borrowed money from him or held such a conversation as Walsh had detailed. He sald Walsh offered frequently to lend him money. He ad- mitted tn the case of the MacDonough route that after MacDonough fatled, he offered the service to the bondsmen at the price of the original service without the expedition, and then let it to Walsh by private contract, and soon after re-increased and re-expedited it." He admitted having written the famous letter to Walsh asking him for the loan Of his (Walsh's) Chatt stating that he was in need of “ginger,” anc ough buying newspa| a part of a mine, running the lumber Dusiness? &e,, he was a little cramped. The examination upon this letter created considerable amusement, “You said.” said Mr. Bliss, reading trom the letter, you are in need of ‘ginger;’ what is ny a was a little hard up just then,” said the wit- 1e88. “Did you mean money?” asked Mr. Bliss. “] meant what I said,” answered the witness, “Was Chattanooga ‘ginger?’” inquired Mr. Bliss. “That was ‘ginger’ in that case,” said the wit- ness. * ‘Ginger,’ then, is a generic term, 1s 1t not?” “You will have to consult the dictionary.” ‘The witness was asked what newspapers he re- ferred to as having bought and he Teplied the National Republican.
