Testimony in Rebuttal by the Govern- ment. When the star route trial was resumed this morning, Chas Sageant, of Brooklyn, a truck- man, testiNed to having collected the old dis- patches from Western Union telegraph offices in the district including the Albermarie hotel, New York, in January, 1882, and taking them to the supply department. Objection being made to the evidence, Mr. Bilss stated that he proposed to lay the foundation of proving the contents of TELEGRAMS SENT BY 8. W. DORSEY TO RERDELI. Mr. Benjamin Sargent, of Brooklyn, boss truck- man of the W. U. Telegraph company; Mr. Spell- man, foreman of the supply department of the telegraph company in New York, and Harry L. Atkinson, an employe of the same department, testified to the destruction of telegrams. Jos. W. Barber, foreman for Geo. W. Miller & Co., of Duane street, New York, testified to re- ceiving the bales of old dispatches trom the W. U. ‘Telegraph company and shipping them away to a paper mill at Holyoke, Mass. m. H. May and Chas. H. Usher, employes of Geo. W. Miller & Co., were examined to the sane effec Frederick Hubbard, recetving clerk of the Chem- ical paper mill at Holyoke, Mass., testified to re- ceiving the bales of old W. U. Telegraph dis- patches, FOLLOWED RERDFLIL Lewis A. Newcomb, post office Inspector, sta- tioned in New York city, was next examined. In June, 1881, he was employed as a clerk, detailed in Postmaster Pearson’s office, in connection with an investigation. Witness met Thos. L. James on the 11th or 12th of June—he thought {t was Monday morning—in the Pennsylvania depet in Jersey City. ‘In pursuance of instructions from Mr. James witness followed Mr. Rerdell across the erry. “ Objection being made to the testimony, Mr. Bliss sald he was going to show that Mr. Torrey, witness for the defense, had mtsstated the tacts When he sald Rerdell dia not go to Dorsey’s oftice, 145 Broadway, and get a book, in June, 1881. Mr. Ingersoll said that Rerdell stated he was there about 12 o'clock, and insisted that they should corroborate Rerdell, He wantea to know if the government, proposed to prove that Rerdell did not go there at 12 o'clock, but went there at 7 or some other time, and thus prove that their witness Rerdell had sworn to a lie. “No,” sald Mr. Merrick, “we propose to prove that your witness swore to a lie.” ARGUMENT. After passages had been read fromthe testl- mony of Rerdell and Torrey, bearing upon the alleged visit of Rerdell to Dorsey’s office, Mr. In- gersoll inststed that. the government should de- Clare whether it was thelr purpose to contradict or corroborate their own witness. Mr. Chandler objected that the testimony now offered could not be introduced as rebuttal testl- mony merely to strengthen the testimony-in-chiet of the government. Mr. Merrick argued for the admisston of the tes- timony, holding that the main fact—that Rerdell Went to the office and got g book, and went to see Dorsey at the Albermarfe hotel—was essential only, the exact time of day, and sequence of events being of little consequence. Mr. Davidge, in replying, held that this testi- mony did not tend to contradict Torrey, unless 1t was shown that this detective followed Rerdell to the office at a time when Torrey was at the offica He characterized the offer as an attempt to patch up another case, He argued that when the prose- cution entered upon any subject In its examina- ton it must exhaust the subject. They could not experlment upon the defendants.
