ADentar.—In answer to an assertion that Judge Thoman, one of the civil service commissioners, owns the Youngstown (Ohio) Vindicator, and 1s re- sponsible for a recent editoriatin that Journal se- verely condemning the action of a convention of laboring men, held at Arbetter hall, Cincinnati, on the 16th instant, and stigmatizing them as “com- munists,” because they refused to endorse the civil service law, Judge Thoman makes the following statement: “Since the 26th day of August, 1882, I have had no connection with the Youngstown Vin- dicator in any way whatever. On that day Isoldand transferred all my right, title and interest to Dr. Patton, of Newark, who has been, to my. personal knowledge, the sole owner and editor since that day. Ihave neither written a line nor dictated a sentiment for any paper since that time. I think am so well known to the laboring men of Ohio that they will not believe that I would be guilty of insulting thelr manhood by offensively condemn- ing thelr action or questioning their right to ex— press opinions in which they are sincere, I reter editorials which I have written, and speeches I have made, in their behalf upon all ;ast measures that have been advocated by them, to fully sus: tain me in what I here say.

Judge Wylle’s court room was well-filled this morning long before the court opened. Balilfts were stationed at the doors, and after the seats inside were filled admittance was dented to all except those whose business required them to be present !n court. A falr proportion of the audi- tors were ladles. Ex-Senator Dorsey took the stand very soon after court opened. He wore @ Dutton-hole bouquet on tue — lappel of his coat, and seemed to have taken some pains with Bits personal appearance. He took with im to the stand alarge packet of papers. Mr. Ingersoll rostmed the examination by referring to the statement of Rerdoll about Dorsey’s getting money amounting to $7,000 at Middieton’s on a check on or about June 9, 1879. ‘The witness satd he never drew a check on Middleton's for $7,000, He drew a check for $7,500 on the 27th or 2th of June, 1879, which was "given to M. C. Rerdell. Witness did not draw the money on the check. 4 CHECK WHICH LED TO ARGUMENT. Mr. Ingersoll was about to offer this check to the Jury, when Judge Wylle inquired if that was the cheek Rerdeil had referred to, Mr. Ingersoll argued that it w: Mr. Merrick denied that this check answered the description given by Kendell. Mr Ingersoll sald thls was the only check, and Rerdell had forgotten that it was drawn to him- self. He claimed that Rerdell had first used the Singultr words “stub,” “cheek-book” and “amount” in his testimony, and afterwards, fear- Ing that one stub-book Would not show such a large amount as he claimed, he changed the words to the plural. Mr. Merrick, in replying, observed that if Rerdeil’s testinony was blotted entirely out of the record, there would still be a strong case against the defendants. He would not ask the Jury to believe the testimony of Rerdell, who was a confessed accomplice of these men, except where it was corroborated. Mr. Bliss called attention to the record to show that the record had evidently been in error at first in making these words in the singular, as the con- text required them to be in the plural. After considerable argument, Mr, Ingersoll, hold- ing: up the check, sald: “I will ask the prosecution’ now, if, after consulting with Rerdell, this is not the check on which Rerdell claimed the moacy was drawn which Dorsey paid to Brady 2” “Counsel ought to know,” sald Mr. Merrick, “that he can’t put us in any Such position as that! Weare not at Iberty to testify i we wanted to, nor can they testify.” “You can make admisstons 1f you want to,” sald Mr, Carpenter. “Well, sir,” sald Mr. Merrick, “you can’t put us in any such position as that.” “Well, I think we have,” sald Mr, Ingersoll. “We propose to try this case on the testimony in the record,” said Mr. Merrick. Mr. Ingersoll declared it his intention to follow up this check with every check drawn by Dorsey on Middleton & Co. in 1879. Mr. Wilson said he proposed to show that this $7,000 had gone to Rerdell, and never a farthing had gone to Mr. Brady. JUDGE WYLIR’S RULING EXCLUDING THE CHECK. Judge Wyle, in disposing of the question, said Rerdell saw Dorsey draw a certain sum of money, the amount of which he did not know, at Middie- ton’s bank and then went with Dorsey to the Post Office department, where Rerdell_ waited in Tur- ner’s room while Dorsey went into Brady’s room. He did not say anything as to the amount, ana the only way to meet it was to prove that Dorsey drew uo money from Middieton’s In the month of June, 1879, or that he did not go to see Brady. ‘The proot that Dorsey drew certain checks on Middleton's Wat month did not tend to disprove what Rerdell stated, but on the contrary tended to strengthen it, The check was therefore excluded from the testimony. Mr. Wlison movea that the court strike out of the testimony that part of Rerdeli’s testimony re- laUng to Dorsey’s Visit to Middleton & Co. and to | Brady’s office. Judge Wylie said he could not entertain any such offer now. THE EXAMINATION OF THE WITNESS then proceeded. He said he did not think he went to Middleton & Co.’s bank with Rerdell in June, 1879. He could not remember. He had not gone with Rerdell to Middleton’s and then to Brady's office. He had not taken any money to any Post Omice official and had never paid any Money to Brady. Witness then employed Wilbur F. Kellogg as his book-keeper. Afterwards he had employed E. W. Torrey. He had never drawn a check for $6,500 on Middicton & Co. When asked if he had drawn any checks on Middleton & Co. on account of “mail” which added together made $6.500, tho witness sald he could not remem- ber. His knowledge on that subject depended on What his clerks had told him, as he could not see. They had gone over his checks carefully. Rerdell had accegs to the witness’ check-books from which checks on mat account were drawa, probably tour or five days during the month of June, 1879. THE WITNESS DENIED having written a letter (as testified by Rerdell) to Bosler, proposing to have him take an interest in the mail business, telling him that a certain amount had to be pald “T. J. B,” &c. He had hever written such a letter to anybody. The wit- ness was asked about the alleged visit to Rerdell’s office while the latter was in jail. The witness sald he was never in Rerdell’s office but twice in his life. Once during the last trial he went there with Rerdell to get some papers relating to certain sub-contracts. The only other time was five or six days after Rerdell got out of jail, when Rerdell came to witness’ house and said he was golng to Florida. Witness then went to Rerdell’s office with him. His papers were put in witness’ car- Tlage and taken to witness’ house, where they still remained, and Rerdell had the’safe removed eens house, Witness had no key to Rerdell’s office. The witness, when asked as to the interview testified to by Rerdell as having taken place at Willard’s hotel, July 12, 1882, said he had an inter- view with Rerdell at the hotel some time in July Of that year. Some tme during the lust trial in witness’ judgment, to blackmail a Mr. Bosler, Objection was made and this was stricken out. ‘The witness, proceeding, sald he had gone to Willard’s hotel, to Bosler’s room, and Rer.tell was there talking with Bosler. ‘This was the day before Rerdell signed his affidavit. Rerdell was protesting to Mr. Bosler that the allegations against him were not true. ‘At this point a recess was taken. Dorsey’s Defense. THE EX-SENATOR ON THE STAND—MR.
