Nothing could be learned at the White House this morning of the reported withdrawal of Mr. Keim’s STAR ROUTE TRIAL SCENES, Mr. Wilson Begins His Address. LIVELY COLLOQUIES IN COURT TO-DAY. When Judge Wylie’s court met this morning Mr. Wilson took his place before the jury, ready to begin his argument. Before he began Mr. Mer- Tick suggested that counsel should now place in the hands of the court thelr prayers on which they desired the court to instruct the jury. After some discussion Judge Wylié decided it best to Tecelve the prayers at the close of the arguments. A LITTLE SPAT BETWEEN COUNSEL. « ‘Mr. Merrick having addressed some remarks aside to Mr. Wilson as to how long the defense would occupy, Mr. Davidge spoke up and said: “We will stop on our side when We think we have aald enough.” “There was no occasion,” said Mr. Merrick, “for that public and ungentiemanly remark, as What I had to say I sald to Mr. Wilson in private conver- sation. Tasked Mr. Wilson how long a time would be occupied, so that I could know what arrange- ae to make about some of my private af- fairs.” “T understand,” sald Judge Wylie, “that the de- fonso is going on, and. will stay when they sain they have exhausted the case.” “AC least,” said Mr. Davidge,““We wont talk seven days aplece.” MR. WILSON’S OPENING REMARKS. Mr. Wilson then began his argument, observing by way of introduction that if length of speech will givo fame, certainly the gentlemen who had preceded him would be immortal. He disclaimed any intention on his own part to achteve immor- tality in that way. He referred to Messra, Ker and Bliss as having distorted testimony. Asan instance of an effort to prejudice the jury, he re~ ferred to a remark by er that he (Mr. Wil- son) and other lawyers for the defense were re- ceiving enormous fees from the defenaanta, COUNSEL FEES. Mr. Ker had based this remarkon an item which appeared for the first time, 80 far as the speaker knew, Ina Philadelphia paper. Mr. Ker lived in Philadelphia, and it m:zht have been that ke him- self had inspired either to form the basis of a statement to the jury, or to break the force of the developments made by a certain Senator in open Senate as to the fees of the counsel on the other side. The government, it had been shown, had expended more than $600,000 in the prosecution of this case, but he did not consider that these mat- ters had’ anything todo with the merits of this case. So far as he was concernel he did not ex- ct to get any such fees as Mr. ‘Ker stated from is client. What he did expect to get was of no concern .o this prosecution. Mr. Wilson read his address from. manuueoripr apd the exordium was a very gracefully word composition, adjuring the jury against popular clamor or prejudice. jared, had rot sought a The government, he deci: fair and Impartial trial. On the contrary, there had been developed here a base trick and con- spiracy to injure these defendants, Ho referred to what he called a bargain with Rerdell to sit with the defendants and challenge four jurors in the interest of the government, “Talk about juror-fixers1” exclaimed Mr. Wilson; “there's jury nxing for you.” “T simply ask the counsel to give the page on Which tat testimony 1s found,” sala Mr. Ker, rising. ‘ae 18 In Rerdell’s testimony,” sald Mr. Da- 2. Mr. Wilson was about to go ahead without pay- ing attention to what Mr. Ker asked. JUDGE WYLIE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. Judge Wylie sald:—“ Well, I should like to see that.” Mr. Ingersoll found the portion of Rerdell’s tes- tmony in which he said he had made the propo- sition to Mr. Blackmar to sit with the defendants and challenge juror, but had spoken 10 none of the counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Wilson proceeding, said he had not sald that that was a bargain with the roment, nor with the counsel for the. ition. The government had not disclaimed it There were other government officials abowt this town who could make this bargain without these attorneys knowing anything about 1t He declared tt an act of unparalleled infamy—a desperately wicked combination. “I want to understand about that,” sald Judge Wylte. “1 understand that he had but one per- emptory challenge.” XO CHALLENGB BY RERDELL. After some discussion, it transpired that under the ruling of the court, considering the defendants as one, Rerdell had not been able to challenge any jurymen. “Then,” sald Judge Wyllie, “the amount of tt ‘was this, that_he exercised no effective challenge in the case. He attempted to exercise the chal- lenge in one instance, but the court prohibited it, My mind 1s considerably relleved regarding the constitution of the jury.” JudgeWylle, pr ing, Said that It then appeared to be a conspiracy with- Out an overt act. ‘It was not, he said, very credit- able to Rerdell. ‘Nor to the government,” said Mr. Ingersoll. “Nor to the government agent whoever he Was,” sald Judge Wylie. “The government always acts through agents,” sald Mr. Ingersoll. “But,” sald Judge Wylie, “he has not produced any government commission. I shall certainly Not presume that anyone employed by the govern- ment would be authorized to attempt anything of that sort. Tama good deal relieved by the in- formation that the attomp* to Influence the organ- ization of the jury was ineffectual” “Oh, let me go on,” said Mr. Wilson. ‘MR. WILSON ON JURY-PACKING.
