STAR ROUTE TRIAL PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. There was a very large audience present in the Criminal Court room when Mr. Ingersoll resumed his address to the Jury in the star route trial this morning. He continued his review of the test!- mony of Rerdell. Mr. Ingersoll, while commonting upon Rerdetl’s affidavit of July lost, sald he had been astounded atthe facility with which Rendell, on the stand, had picked out the paragraphs that Dorsey wrote and the paragraphs written by him- self. He had found afterwards that different par- agraphs in the paper had been underscored with a blue pencil; and that the paper had been given him by Mr, Woodward, marked, so that at a glance he could tell what to swear. “And more,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “in regard to the witnesses who Were summoned ‘here to testify to handwriting upon papers in this case. Iwill show you that every one of those papers had a little secret mark upon ft, so that the man who swore would know which Way to swear. There has been a great deal of preparation in this cage.” ‘THE PAYMENT TO “MR. SMITH.” Mr. Ingersoll commented at considerable length upon the “pencil memorandum” purporting to show a payment to “Wm. Smith.” Ho argued that the government could get no man except Rer- dell himself to swear that tt was In the hand- wWritiog of SW. y He showed the various papers for the purpose of compariso sustain the theory tiat the names alleged ty have een Written by S.

The charges seem to be principally of thing to swap With tue gov- ernment for immunity. Mr. Ingersoll said that undoubtedly the prosecu- tion could fod writing of 8. W. Dorsey's that lookea lke that in the pencii memorandum, be- cause that writing was written in tmitation of ‘They would also find writing of Rer- dell’s ‘that look like it.
