John were DORSEY’S DENIALS, His Testimony in the Star Route Case To-day. Mr. Dorsey took the stand again this morning when the star route tril was resumed. Before Mr. Ingersoll continued his examination, Judge Wylie #hid to the doorkeepers that members of the bar had complained to him that they were ex- cluded. “They should be admitted,” he said, “and within the bar, too.” “The doorkeepers don’t know them, your honor,” said Mr. Carpenter. “They will have to take the word of a gentle- man,” observed Judge Wylie, and then he added, after a pause, “They don’t know a gentleman, Pere’ witness denied having given any instruc- Hons to alter a petition or afdavit after it was ‘THE “3, B. B.” CHECK. Mr. Ingersoll said he wanted to ask this witness whether at any Ume or place he had ever given a check to James B. Belford tor any amount. Mr. Merrick sald he would not object if the de- fense would reciprocate the courtesy and allow the government to go into an examination as to this check, A Judge Wylle said he had excluded the inquiry of Mr. Belford because it did not tend to disprove what Rerdell had said. Mr. Wilson argued that as Rerdell sald he saw the check, that msde this witness’ testimony competent. “Suppose,” said Mr. Bliss, “he saw the check at, Middleton & Co.’s bank?” Which was the fact,” interjected Mr. Merrick. Mr. Ingersoll decided to put the question in another way and asked: NO CHECK TO BELFORD. “Did you ever tell Rerdell to give a chcck of $2,000 to James B. Belford?” No, sir,” sald the witness, ‘Did you,” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “ever tell him to charze James B. Belford with ‘a check fer the sum of $2,007” “No, sir,” said the witness, “nor for any other amount. “Did you,” asked Mr. Tugersoll, “ever give a check to James B. Belford on any bank for any amount?” “Not a dollar,” satd the witness. and at the same time Mr. Bliss said: “I object.” Judge Wylte decided that the question, In view of the testimony that preceded Jt, could be ad- mitted. Ar. Ingersoll then repeated the question,and the witness repiled, "I never did.” “Did you,” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “ever have any transaction with him of a money character?” “I never,” sald the witness, “had a trai ction. yith him to the extent of a cent, with the excep- tion of the transaction that you stated in court the other day.” quaat matter about the rife?” sald Mr. Inger- 80) “Yes,” sald the witness. While Mr. Ingersoll was looking over some papers, the witness exclaimed, “I would lke to see that check to ‘J. B. B.,’ anyway.” NEVER HEARD OF THE LETTER. ‘Mr. Ingersoll read the letter purporting to have been written to him by Vaile in this clty, May 29th, 1879, and to state the fears of Valle that Rerdell’s sult against Vaile and Miner would expose who the real parties were in the firm, &¢. ‘The witness sald that he had never heard of the letter before this trial, and was not in Washington at that time, having left here on the 18th of May. THE PUEBLO AND ROSITA ROUTE, Mr. Ingersoll then examined the witness as to circumstances connected with the service on varlous routes in which he was Interested, begin- ning with the Pueblo and Rosita route. The wit- ness said he could describe tt with a map. “Well, the witness could not see Ue map,” sala Judge Wyle, Mr. Ingersoll wanted to question the witness to show that the expedition would have been bene- ficial to the rezion of couutry, if 1t had not been for the failure of the postmaster or some one else to send the mails on over tle Pueblo route, After considerable argument the out the question proposed by Mr. irrelevant. Speaking of the Trinidad and Madison route the withess said that the want of communication Was so strongly felt in 1879 that the people bullt their own telephone and telegraph lines, Witness had such communication with his own place, ‘which was near that route. The witness was ex- amifed as to the conditigp of the couutry on va- Tiou routes. RERDELL AND BOSLER. The witness sald he was present In hts office about June 19, 1681, when Rerdell and Bosier had a conversation about what he (Rerdeil) had sald toMacVeagh. He said he had shown MacVengh a memorandum th imitation of his(orscy’s)hand- writing. Rerdell said he had torn up tle memo- Tandum and thrown it in the waste basket. Rer- dell and Bosler then got the scraps out of the basket and put them together, Rerdell sald he had written it with a pencil. as he could make tt look more like the witness’ handwriting in that way than with a pen. It was very much Ike wit- ness’ handwriting and he would have mistaken 1t oe his handwriung if he had not been told differ- ent Star Route Notes, After THE Srar’s report of the star route trial closea yesterday. tne prosecution declined the Proposal of Mr. Ingersoll to have some one ap- pointed to inspect the books of ex-Senator Dorsey, and declared their purpose of trying the case ac- frcording to the usual modes. The witness denied ail of Rerdeli’s statements about the “Smith” Memorandum and about the account Books, or that he had ever instructed Rerdell to alter a pe- (ition, or had himself filled “up the blanks In an affidavit. His version of the Albertmarle hotel in- terview, June 9th, 1881, was that he was amazed when Rerdell came in and asked him about intl- mations that he (Dorsey) had heard that he had formed some scheme with the government, Rer- dell said the intimation was untrue and left. He next heard of Rerdell in Jersey City. ‘The wit- ness denied having begged Rerdell to retract his statements to the government, and sald, “I am not much on the beg.” The witness denied utterly that he had suggested any part of Rerdeli’s “re- tracting” affidavit. SS Society Notes, ‘The social event of the week was the very de- lightful reception given yesterday afternoon by General and Mrs. J. W. Foster to Ex-President and Mrs. Diaz, of Mexico, and their party, now traveling in this country. The attendance in- cluded a large proportion of the personages of note in both public and private Mfe at the national capital. ‘The spacious parlors were filled for fully three hours by an animated and brillant throng; and by all the occasion was ereatly enjoyed, not only 8 a means of complimenting General and Mrs. Foster and their distinguished guests, Dut as affording the opportunity for expressing ‘in this way the very friendly feelings entertained here towards our sister republic. Durire whole reception an elegant and bounteous repast was spread in adjoining apartments, supplemented by sultable beverages. Mr. Henry Waters Taft, son of Hon. Alphonso Tatt, U.§.
