Major Nickersan’s Case. A POSTPONEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA—A CARD FROM THE MAJOR. Argument on the rule upon Major A. H. Nicker- son, toshow cause why the dfvorce obtained by him. from his wife, Emma, shoul not be set aside on the ground of fraud and perfury, was postponed in Philadelphia Saturday until depositions be taken. The taking of deposttiens will begin to-mor- row and argument will be had, it is expected,next Saturday. Major Nickerson has published a card)in which he says: “The only papers filed in Phila- dciphia by me were those showing changes of station, with the orders and.my reports pertain- ing to Changes 1n my residence and post office ad- dress. ‘The military recordmade up when I an- Ucipated going to Eypt is in my possession now, ani no copy of itor apy lke it was ever filed in the courts of Philadelphia. Adjutant General Drum, in answer to a Star re- porter to-day, sald: “Ii Col, N. used the statement Of his services furnished hii in the iegal proceed- ings at Philadelphia, as alleged in that article, he hada perfect right to doso, and in doing 80 vio- lated no rule of the department or of tie service.” NO COURT-MARTIAL UNTIL AFTER THE PHILADELPHIA COURT DECIDES. ‘The reporter learned further that Gen. Sherman ‘had not approved an order for the court-martial of Major Nickerson. No action will be taken In that direction until the case has been decided in court. Col, Barr this morning aubmitted to Gen. Shc- man bis report upon the investigation of the judi- clal proceedings in the case. Gen. Crook’s Victory. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF HIS DEFEAT OF THRE APACHES, A dispatch from Tombstone, Arizona, May 97th, says that a Mexican courier, whoarrived the night previous, reported that thé battfe between Crook and the Indians was thought to have occurred on the 17th or 18th inst When within two days march of the Rto Capagochi Crook’s advance skir- mish line was jumped by the hostiles. Fivo Apache scouts were killed at the first fire, and the officer tn cominand, supposed to be ue ‘Chaffee, ‘was .wounded. The scouts then fell back upon the maincolumn. A general advance was ordered, the hostiles occupying both sides of a narrow canyon. The fight lasted from 10 a.m. until dark. Chiet Loco was believed to be killed. Fifty Indian scouts flanked the Indians on the east side of the canyon, who, driven from cover, charged dewn the mountain. It was during thts that the greatest number of the enemy were killed. The hostiles, estimated at 250, with no women and children, Were belleved to consist of Juti’s and Loco’s bands, with Inalans from Chihuahua. After the battle | the hostiies escaped in the darkness, and in the morning Gen. Crook took up the trail. Only-two white soldiers wero wounded, neither fatally. No credit 1s given anywhere to the rumors of disaster to Crook, and Gens, Rogaro and Guerra, comiand- ing in Chihuahua, feel confident of his safety. WHAT ADJUTANT GENERAL DRUM SAYS. Adjutant General Drum had this morning ‘e- ceived no further information regarding Ger. Crook’s Indian campaign. He firmly believes that the report of Crook's victory 1s the correct one, and discredits entirely the vague rumor that his forces have been massacred by the Indian scouts. In answer to questions as to the grounds of his belief, he said: “J don’t think Crook nas been turned upon by his scouts for three reasons: FURNITURE, DRAPERIES, MURAL DECORATION, 45 NORTH CHARLES STREET, BALTIMORE, my5-s, 10, w, tel5-Ip HY DDD RRR RN ON TrTT Ha, DER ds NNN Oe HoH DE, SA RRS F HE ¥ pop RRA ANNN T H 00 HH o% 55s ERR HHH 9 9 "sss, EE ii Hi “oo” Sess® Hee 7 ICE CRUSHERS, ICE HATCHETS, ICE TONGS, BEASONABLE GOODS AND GENERAL HARD- WAKE AT BOTTOM PRICES, F.

Crook does, and, with this knowledge, they could hardly carry out their treachery in -a body without his being forewarned to somo extent: seconuly, the Wives and children of these scouts are in the hands of the military authorities In Arizona, and this fact would have great weight in preventing any act of treachery on their part; thirdly, when I was in El Paso I left particular instructions that if any information was regeived, with the least chance of credibiitty, to forward it to Washington at once.” WILL COME OUT ALLRIGHT. Special Agent Townsend, of the Indian depart- ment, who has just returned from an extended trip through Arizona, told a Sraz reporter that he did not think that Gen. Crook wasin danger ex- ceptirom lack of su; that he would come out all right. bs ee The Property wCH.'M.

Mr. Merrick’s Eloquent Open! A YRRDICT OF GUILTY 48 TO ALL THE DEFENDANTS DEMANDED—A MAN'S HIGH POSITION SHOULD NOT PROTECT HIM—MR. INGERSOLL'S WASTED PATHOS— THR WIVES AND CHILDREN OF THE DEFENDANTS NOT ON TRIAL. The Criminal Court room was crowded this morning, and much interest was manifested in the address which Mr. Merrick was to deliver to the Jury, closing the speeches in the star route trial Allof the counsel for detense were in court, but none of the defendants were present when court opened but Messrs. Miner and Vaile. 8. W. Dor- sey subsequently came in and took a stand in the crowd outside of the rail. OPENING STATEMENTS. ‘Mr. Merrick began his address about twenty minutes .after eleven o'clock. He sald the case had been 80 elaborately argued that it would hariily be necessary for him to spend much time in reviewing it. He proposed to spread the case before the jury in such a manner, by a generallza- tion of the facts,that each one of them woutd fully understand 1¢ from beginning to end. He would deal with them in the same spirit of candor and sincerity which he believed they recognized as the controlling rule of his conduct in all the transac- tions of his life. He would shrink from nothing which in his judginent he ought to say or do. Whilst he should call things by their proper names after he had shown what they were he would c1re- fully abstin from overstral ving any potnt of law or overstating any fact. He declared In open court, before the last trial of this case, that as an assistant attorney general of tho United States he should, when the evidence was conclude, frankly announce it if in regard to any of the defendants the evidenc> filled to establi=i gullt. Accordingly he had directed the jury to return a ver ‘ict of not guilty as to Turner. “The verdict found M. C. Rerdell and John R. Miner gulity and dis greed as to the otter defendants, Upon the motion for a new trial he had sali to the court that he did not consider It conststent with the disnity of the United States to allow such a verdict to taint the Tecord of the court—a verdict convicting the sub- ordinates ard letting the masters go. ‘The court had thereupon set the verdict aside, and the case now came before this jury, and in the light of. the unequivocal facts proved HE DEMANDS A VERDICT OF GUILTY AGAINST ALL THE DEFENDANTS. He demanded from this jury a verdict of guilty Against all these defendants. He referred to Mr. Ingersoll’s caution to the Jury that there was no logic tn epithet. There was no lozic, he sald, in appeals to a jury in behalf of a prisoner's home. Thoro was no reasoning in tropes and metaphors and figures of speech. The prisoner's wife and home were not on trial. The prisoners themselves and they alone were on trial. The attempt to assail a heart of a jury by tears—t>ars-provoking pathos—was the ingenious device of an advocate conscious that he coull not reach the reason of the jury by legitimate logic. He reierred to Mr. Ingersoll’s assertion that the cvunsel for the prosecution, in the excltementot the chase sought to1 THR LITTLE FEATHER OF VICTORY. If he supposed that in the performance of his (ir. Merrick’s) sotemn duty In this cage he sought to gratify his ambition by gaining a triumph cver Justice, he Qir. Ingersoli) greatly mistook his character. He sougat simply justice—justice, stern and unadorned. A grent governinent was seeking to vindicate the majesty of its laws and to protect people by punishing crima ‘The scales of justice must contain nothing but the cohl and naked facts, and the rules of law as civen by the court. They might grieve for sMiction, but grief Was not a part of the'soleinn office that belonged ton jury. To be sure there was hanily 4 more tmelancholy spectacle than a man wrecked and a home black-ned. But twas not the verdict of the jury, but the commission of the erime,that wrecks the man and blackens the home. It was b-tter that a home should be blackened than that the jury, by tts verdict responding to their sympa- thies rather than to their judgment,should cominit a yet higher crime and give tuetr conscience te stinging volce of an eternal reproach. THE SADDEST THING ON EARTH to him would be to realize the fact that in the tri- bunal of justice there should appear such signs of corruption or weakness in the jury that the de- mands of the government that criminais should be punished, should be defeated by appeals to sympathy in behalt of the wife and children of the accused. Mr. Ingersoll nad declared that the government would never find twelve men who would put STEPHEN W. DORSEY . in the penitentiary; that there woul always be One or two honest men in the twelve so they could not convict one of these defendants, What does this rhodomontade mean? The great Azure standing out in all was Stephen W. Dorsey. ‘Thoy- coull put other men in thé penitentiary, but never Stephen W. Dorsey. He was away up above the law, even where the very tips of the fingers of justice could not touch his sacred rob’s, ‘The men who were prosecuting 8. W. Dorsey, Mr. Ingersoll said, forgot Who he Was and what he was. Why should they remem- ber who he is or what he has been? What had the Jury to do with what he hasbeen? Their task was with him, as they found him at the bar of justice, arraigned by his country for crimes against the law. If they remembered what he had been, tt ought Lo be a memory stimulating them to decds of justice. The lowly and needy may violate the law, and pass to the place of expiation without sigh from any one. Was not their crime less than his ‘who had been raised by his country to a place, and invested with roves which it was his duty Lo preserve pure end unspotted. It was sad to see a great man fall, a great mind poisoned by immorality and crime, but sadder still to see a Jury let him go, unwhipped of justice, because he ‘Was a great man. Counsel had given some thrusts of patriotic eloquence about his country and its Mberty. He (Mr. Merrick) cherished in his heart as deep a love for that country as any man who walked the earth, but ifthe iaw of that country Was made for the rand lowly alone he would tear its flag to tatters. NO MAN 18 HIGH ENOUGH to put his head in heaven where justice could not rench it. He thanked God his country was not yet on that down grade. Their verdict would Mark an epoch in the history of the country. Either official peculation would receive a sunc- ton, or henceforth honor and integrity in office Was to be the rule. The counsel, when he said S. W. Dorsey could not be convicted meant that what had been done once could be repeated. He (Mr. Merrick) thought not. Referring to Mr. In- gersoll’s assertion that this prosecution was Started by men who had disgraced the position to which S. W. Dorsey bad hel) them, Mr. Merrick asked did he mean that Garfleld’ had disgraced his ton? Or that the officers who by hia direction had pressed this inves- tigation, had disgraced them? They would have been disgraced if they had not done it It Was an honor to these officers that they were prosecuting aman who had aided them in obtaining their nigh positions. In the prosecution of that duty their tears may flow, but, thank Goa! our country had officers who were hot begulled from duty by tears or sympathy. He did not know he would ever try this case again, but he would accept tie gauntlet flung down by counsel and say that this effort to enforce Justice wouid be pursued so long as this government lived in an atmosphere of purity. ‘We will be there,” Interrupted Mr. Ingersoll, sir,” sald Mr. Merrick, “when this verdict is rendered you will be somewhere else.” DORSEY’S REMARK. Here there was a conversation outside the rail, anda volce, recognized a8 Stephen W. Dorsey’s, sang out, “I'll bet $150 aday will be there though.” RERDELL'S GRAVE. Mr. Merrick continuing said that it might be necessary for him to take the jury back to the grave of Rerdell, “and,” continued Mr. Merrick, “I Tay make another grave that may call the coun- sel to his favorite entertainment of lachrymose lament at a funeral.” eeeetees then turned to the consideration of facts‘In the case. He sald the policy of a coun- try was that expressed in the statute. The poler thus indicated was that mall routes should i vertised and every citizen should have a right to compete for the performance of the service.
