After referring ‘again to the process>s by which the contractors figured out the astonish- Ing results shown by the testimony in the case he reverted again to what he claimed to be the con- tradictory and conflicting testimony of John W. Dorsey respecting the two contradictory aMdavits made by him on thesame dar. He sald that when adefendant before a jury came upon the stand and testified to what the jury believed to be the lle it was equivalent to a confession of guilt. FOREMAN CRANE ASKS A QUESTION. ‘Mr. Crane, the foreman of the jury, asked why {twas that in the case mentioned the aMavit Purported to be that of the sub-contractor when the law required the affidavit of the contractor? Mr. Merrick referred to instances in the test!- mony where Brady had consented to accept the affidavit of the sub-contractor.

He claimed that no more positive and convincing evidence of a conspiracy could be produced than that presented by these afiidavits. Mr. Merrick sald that 1n nis testimony S. W.

Buell, U.S.A., died yesterday afternoon near Nash- ville, Tenn., from the effects of an operation per- formed on his jaw some thrée weeks ago, compll- cated with heart disease. Gen. Buell was'a native of Indiana, and when the war broke out took com- up the differetice in price it necessary.” JUDGE WYLTE'S CALCULATION. Judge Wylle remarked that that proportion was very often exceeded. + He sald that if the number of horses on the present schedule was 10 and the number required on the proposed schedule 20, the increase of pay would be 300 per cent. If the ‘affl- davit man was prepared to go to the length of swearing that the present service requires oniy six men, reducing the amount of men and antmuls 40 per cent, and still swore that the proposed service Tequired 20, the increase would be 500 per cent. AN AFFIDAVIT IN BLANK OR A BLANK AFFIDAYIT. Mr. Ingersoll raised a brief discussion as to whether Dorsey directed Rerdell to fill up a blank affidavit or an aMdavit in blank. Mr. Merrick said the affidavit was sworn to Jan- uary 27, 1879, and in order to conclude that Dorsey had directed’ Rerdell to fill it up at or prior to the ‘Ume it was sworn to they would have to conclude that 8. W. Dorsey was manipulating these afflda- Vits while he Was a Sonator of the United States. The usual recess was taken. Star Route Notes, Yesterday afternoon, while Mr. Merrick was making some calculations before the jury showing how the “rule of threo” was worked by the con- tractors, Mr. Crane, the foreman, said that there Were 6,000 pages of ‘evidence in the case, and sug- gested that the jury could get a clearer view of the case If they could have the testimony to ex- amire. Judge Wylle, however, sald that the court, could not entertain the motion, and that there was no device better calculated to mislead the jury. He intimated that if the testimony was tumbied tad the jury box they never would have a ver- ci Mr. Merrick will probably occupy all day Mon- day, and may not conclude fils speech till Tuesday. It is expected that two or three days will then be taken up with arguments on questions of law be- fore the court charges te jury, ‘To-day was the first anniversary of the begin- ning of the first star route trial.

What Commissioner West Says. THE PURPOSE IS TO GIVE BETTER SERVICE. Toa Stax reporter Commissioner West to-day ‘gave the following answer to an inquiry about ‘the facts In the case of the street-sweeping award: “Yes, the action of the Commissioners in award- ing the contract to Wright at 294 cents when Fil- bert’s bid was 283¢ cents, has been challenged in some quarters, but there are no grounds for ex- ception to their action, unless their Judgment and good faith 1s called into question. The only ex- Penditures of money coming under the contract Provisions of the act of Congress of June 11, 1878, Which 1s quoted by Col. Totten on behalf or Mr. Filbert are those relating to ‘new pavements,’ .” Sor any work cost of which Shall exceed the sum of $1,000.” It ts not held by the District government that there Is any requirementof law that contracts other than such as relate to the character of works quoted should be let out to the lowest bidder. Yet in almost all Instances, the street sweeping for ex- ataple, t 13 found desirable to invite competition through proposals, and that course ts pursued by the Commissioners, and contracts are given as a matter of expediency and economy, not of law. Soinetimes proposals are invited, tien declined, and the service or Supplies are obtained at lower in. msehi his ro give them some dis- Ine to be used, believing le to do as good work with Machines as with another. Now, when the bids came in we found that there Was 4 difference between the bids of Wright and ere were cther bidders, but their proposals were much “Therefore,” said Mr. Eamonds, “after examining the different machines and making an observation of their respective workings, and upon the testimony of a gocd many merchants Who had spoken with us about the matter, we concluded that we ouzht to accept Wright's b1d and pay the $97 additional for the work he would do, Tather than accept the work now being done by even at a ess sum.
