Mr. Merrick this morning resumed his address to the jury inthe star route trial, which was inter- rupted by the adjournment of the court over Decor. ation day. He calied attention to what he con- sidered a violation of the law by Brady, In combin- ing expedition and increase so as to double or treble the legitimate pay. Q? $70,000 patd annually on the Tongue River route; $55,600 was for expe- dition. Brady, if he chose to carry out what he claimed to be his policy--to put a daily mail on every route in this indictment—could have accom- pushed It at a greatly less cost than the cost of the useless expedition. BRADY'S SELF-CONDEMNATION. . Brady had on the stand virtually condemned his own practices. This expedition was added for No purpose but to rob the Treasury. The Mineral Park and Ploche route, under the gental smile of Brady, had grown from $2,962 to $50,000. Of this amount over $31,000 was for expedition only. The ay on the Garland and Parrott City route had een increased ina similar way from $1,658 to $31,343.96, of which over $19,000 was for expedition. ‘Mr. Merrick then discussed the evidence relating to the White River and Rawlins route, showing how the petitions, which Brady held up as ashield against the lance of justice, were gotten up by the agents of the contractors, Speaking of the allidavits, he said these were THE BURGLARS’ TOOTS, made out in blank and ready for use when needed. On the White River and Rawlins route Brady saw that a reduction from 108 to 84 hours would appear so useless, and he sent for Dorsey, and told him to make out an afidavit for 45 hours All these affidavits were made out and filed when S. W. Dorsey was here, and these orders were made when he was here. If the jury found that these affidavits were founded on perjury, the conspiracy was complete, and the jury could not escape it. He took them to the very fountain, and if they did not find the polson there the government would surrender its case, but if it was there, he de- marided in the name of the people’ of the United States retributive justice upon the men who polsoned the fountain. Upon this white River and Rawlins route Brady had positive testimony that the service was not needed, ‘Mr. Merrick spoke of the BOLDNESS AND AUDACITY that had characterized Brady’s conduct in office, andsaiditwas the sam? audacity with which these defendants had confronted the court and the jury. It had been one unceasing attempt to browbeat court, Jury and counsel from the - ning of the last trial to the present time. Mr. Merrick, referring to testimony respecting Brady's responding to the request of the con- tractors and disregarding the wishes of the peo- ple, sald that if the jury could explain such action on any theory consistent with Innocence they should give the defendants the benefit of it. There was no explanation except that Brady was in- fluenced by a corrupt motive. MR. INGERSOLL’S PLEA FOR MERCY. The counsel (Mr. Ingersoll) had evidently felt the pressure of these facts when he had appealed to the jury for the mercy of a verdict of acquittal. “TI sald the mercy of an honest verdict,” said Mr. Ingersoll. ‘Mr. Merrick, continuing, sald that under the Constitution thts place was not the seat of mercy. ‘It was here that the scales of justice was held up; and when the balance was struck and Justice raises the sword of retribution then sweet Mercy falls at her feet and implores her to stay her arm. ‘This court-room was the place for law and justice. Conscious of the gentleman’s doom “mercy” was on the gentieman’s lips. Mr. Merrick having explained how the contrac- tors, as it 1s claimed, made profits by reducing tn the ‘affidavits the actual number of men and ani- mals used on the present schedule, and adding to the number required on the proposed schedule, handed a paper to the jury on which he had writ- ten some figures showing how the proportion was carried out, and told the foreman to keep it. MR.

He cannot sneer or laugh it away. He can shake his round red head and fat face till the end of time. This calculation justly done shows the foundation ef his case to be per- jury and corruption.” “There,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “you don’t blame me Jor objecting to the paper?” “No, I don’t” said Mr, Merrick. “I don’t blame the counsel for any of his efforts to keep the light from the jury. Idon’t blame the counsel for is appeals to your hearts and his pathetic addresses, for the simple reason that he must do the best for his clients. I don’t blame him for using all bis eloquence in pathetic appeals for mercy.” MR. INGERSOLL AGAIN OBJECTED. “T object,” sald Mr. Ingersol, rising, “to a mis- statement of the record. I have said again and again that I asked for the mercy of an honest ver- dict from this jury. I have never asked of this jury any mercy, except the mercy of honesty, the mercy of courage, and that they should consider nothing but the sworn testimony in thts case.” WIVES AND CHILDREN NOT IN THE RECORD. “Was the home of Dorsey in the record?” asked Mr. Merrick;” “was his wife and children in the record? Whilst with*one word he asked for an honest verdict, with another he addresses to the jury a pathetic appeal that tears may molsten the eyes and obscure the jundgment of the jury.” Mr. Ingersoll insisted upon reading a passage from his argument to show what he had said, but Mr. Merrick objected and the court would not per- mit it, saying that his recollection was that Mr. Ingersoll had appealed for “the mercy of an honest veriilet.” ‘The court then took a recess, Mer- a REAL EstaTs SaLes.—Wm.

BAIRD, WHO HAS JUST RETURNED FROM THE OPERATING FORCR—DIFFICULTIES TO BR OVERCOME—REPORTS ABOUT BATTLES AND A MASSACRE NOT TO BE RELIED UPON—MEXICAN CO-OPERATION, ETC, Lieut. William Baird, who has Just returned to Washington from Gen. Crook’s command, tn con- versation with a Stan reporter on the subject of the expedition jato the Sierra Madre mountains sal “T don’t think the reports of Gen. Crook’s engage- ment with tho hostiles are reliable, and I don't think any authentic information can be received until oMficial dispatches are received at the War department. It is my opinion that very likely there has been fighting, but I don’t think any de- cisive action has yet taken place. You see Gen. Crook did not intend to send back word until he had accomplished something or had entirely MASSACRE STORY IMPROBABLE. “What do you think of the report of the massa- cre by the scouts ?” asked the reporter. “I don’t believe a word of it,” was the reply. “In the first place, these Indian scouts are the bitter enelaies to the renegades, and will do everytht in thelr power to annihilate them. In tue secon placa, if they should resort to treachery they Would be in as bad a predicament as the feel hostiles, for, without tie protection of the Unt States troopa, they would be in danger of felling into the hands of the Mexicans. That fact woul tend greatly to prevent such action, for Indlans are not treated with the same consideration by Mexican as by United States soldiers.” STRENGTH OF GEN. CROOK’S COMMAND. “I3 the statement made of the strength of Gen. Crook's command correct?” inquired the reporter. “Yes; he took with htm two hundred scouts, Atty cavairy, and about fifty packers.” “Would it not have been safer to take a larger force of cavairy?” : “There! Tam glad you asked that,” said Lieut. Baird, “ior Gen. Crook’s actions in’ that respect are not generally understood. He took all the men that he couid possioly provide transportation for. Everything in the way of provisions and baggage had to be carried on pack mules’ The country was scoured and all the mules that could be procured at the different posts were brought in. ‘These mules are not very plentiful, and the size of the torce had to be regulated in accordance with the supply. It was absolutely necessary to take the scouts to track the enemy. Gen. Crook took With him as far as the border eight or ten compa- nies, with which he formed a cordon along the Une. Six companies were left in the vicinity of San Bernadino, under Col. Biddle. It was with one of these compantes that I was stationed.” “47 13 A TERRIBLE COUNTRY that Gen. Crook entered,” continued the leuten- ant. “It is perfectly desolate. Prosperous ranches that used to stand along the base of the moun- tains have been swept away by the savages, and an oceastonal isolated hamlet 1s all that is left of the villazes. ‘The Rreat difiiculty that Gen. Crook has to contend with 1s the scarcity of water. ‘The- scouts only know of one or two places where water can be found, but the fugitives know where every drop 1s in the mountains. CORDIAL RELATIONS WITH THE MEXICAN AUTHORI- TIES, “Do you think tht Mexican troops will co-operate with our forces?” queried the reporter. “That was the Intention,” was the reply, “and I know that the most cordial relations existed be- tween Gen. Crook and the Mexican authorities, and his plans and intentions were fully approved. by them.” NO NEWS GOOD NEWS. “No, Iam not at all surprised tbat no information has been received from Gen. Crook,” continued the leutenant, “for, as I sald before, he did not intend to send word until he did something. Why do you know he has provisions to last until the 4th of July. Of course he did not expect to be on the trail all of that time, but it 13 Ukely that he may try to starve out tle hostiles.
