This change is made be- cause Berry is an important witness, andif he should be tried and sentenced he could not be used as a witness In the ex-detective cases. BALTIMORE DETECTIVES BEFORE THE GRAND JURY. There were two members of the Baltimore de- tective force before the grand jury, and It is stated that they were questioned in regard to thelr con- nection with several matters concerning the ex- detectives which are being investigated. Fre- quently owners of stolen property have been told by the ex-detectives that they have traced the ar- ticles to Baltimore, when in fact they have never left the city. In order to do this successfully they had, it is sald, an understanding with some of the Baltimore detectives, and the result of this is now being investigated by the grand jury. sR Star Route Matters.

Mr. Merrick announced in court the other day that he would prove, if permitted, that on one Occasion $2,500 in postal drafts drawn by Price, pec ‘With $2,500 In money, was left on Brady’s desk and taken by Brady, the drafts and moyey being given him for the purpose of cor- Tuptiy Influencing his official action. This state- ment, it is understood, was based on an affidavit made by Price. who further alleges that on an- other occasion he gave to an ex-U. 8. Senator for a similar purpose the sum of $15,000 in postal drafts, drawn against his (Price’s) pay as mail contractor in the mail route from San Antonio to Corpus Christ!; and that in addition to the aforemen- toned $15,000 in drafts, he algo gave to the ex-Sen- ator a note for $5,000, all of which, he deposes, was pald at maturity. ee Proposed Improvements.
