Last Day of Mr. Merrick’s Argument in the S Before Mr. Merrick resumed his address In the star route trial this morning Mr. Crane, the fore- man of the jury, rising, said, that at the sugges- tlon of some members of the Jury he would ask to again see the pencil memorandum, the Clendenin letter, the letter of Dorsey to Paddock, and also one of Rerdcit’s letters, containing hi3 signaturr. ‘The papers required were found and handed to the jury, who spent some time in thetr inspection. MR. MERRICK TO CLOSE TO-DAY. Mr. Merrick, when he began to speak this morn- | Ing, observed that he was resoived to conclude hs address to-day, even if he were obliged to omit Matters which he had ixtended to speak about Ue referred again to the pencil memorandum, compared it with writings of Dorsey and claimed that the writing in the memorandum was ident!- cal with that in papers admitted to have been written by Dorsey. He argued that the theory } that Rerdell had manufactured this memoranduin since the last trial was absurd. ‘The argument that the “ M. C. R.” in the memorandum was like Rerdell’s “ M. C. R.,” he argued, tended to prove that Rerdell dtd not forge the memorandum, for, if he had, he would have been careful not to have any of the writing appear Ike his Whatever conclusion was drawn irom the handwriting, he claimed that it was conciuatvely proved that the Dooks existed with THE “SMITH” AND “JONES” ENTRIES, and that fact estabitshed the genuineness of the memorandum. Mr. Merrick, turning to the con- sideration of the distribution of the routes, April 1st, 1879, to whtch he sald the defense at- tached much importance, sa! that,no matter how the routes were then distributed, ifthe conspiracy existed at that time it continued until the end of the contract term, It was simply a more facile method for carrying out the objects of the con- spiracy. The distributees were to perform for one anon Such services as Were necessary to give effect to THE DIVISION OF THE ROUTES, They were to execute necessary papers, Miner sald, to carry on the business—that was to pro- cure expedition and increase on one another's routes. A question arose as to fhe date when the diviston of the routes was consummated—whether April OF May. Mr. Merrick argued that the exact date was unimportant, ‘They were bound together for a common object after the division, but instead of dividing up the money after it was drawn, they divided up the paperson which it was drawn. It there was a gullty conspiracy on the Ist of April, Whatever grew out of that conspiracy was guilty. Mr. Merri¢k, just before recess, inadvertently used the word 1889 for 1879. Upon'belng corrected he remarked that he was tired. vilson thereupon raised a laugh by observ- you have not been speaking so long as you think you have.” “It seems to me,” satd Mr. Merrick, “that I have been talking almost that long.” When the recess was taken Mr. Merrick sald he would flaish in half an hour or an hour after the Tecess. Mr. Merrick Burles Dorsey. THE LAUGH TCRNED ON MR. INGERSOLL. Mr. Merrick closed his labors yesterday with a parody on Ingersoll’s “burial of Rerdell,” which caused much amusement tn court, and turned the laugh upon Dorsey’s eloquent counsel. “If we are to have burials of men 1 this case, gentlemen of the jury,” sald Mr. Merrick, “after what I have shown you about 8. W. Dorsey, let us bury him for hts perjury. Make him a grave*by the side of Rerdell. Put him jn. Call for the chief mourners, the co-conspirators in this case, Stand back and let them gather around this last resting- place of their chef gentus and leading power. Lower him gently into the tomb. Mourners, give way. Let us give him a monument, a3 Mr. Tnger- Soll proposed to give to Rerdell. Whatshail it be? Letit be an areh, with one abutment resting at the head of Rerdel’s grave, and the other resting at the head of Dorsey’s, and on the keystone let there be written this epitaph? “ ‘They were delightful and lovely in thelr yes, and in death they were not parted.’ ” “And If,” continued Mr. Merrick, with mock sol- emnity, “notwithstanding the ccuasel’s prayer, Gabriel, when he comes over those graves, shoutd blow his trump, and the corrupt aud buried Dor- sey should arise an immortal spirit, and come into that last grand court, before the Searcher of all hearts, where we must all appear, and that great Searcher and All-knower should ask him, the spirit, ‘Were you not in the flesh known as’ one Stephen -W. Dorsey?’ the spirit would answer, ‘I don’t remember.’ ” This sally brought forth a round of laughter and applause, Which was ‘prompUy,checked. The court, however, tmmediately adjourned, and the laughter was then renewed. a Miner’s New Star Route Contract. LETTER OF SENATOR VAN WYCK TO THE POSTMASTER GENERAL, Senator Van Wyck has addressed a letter to Postmaster General Gresham in relation to the contract made by the Post Office department for a dally mail service from Fort Niobrara, Neb., to Deadwood, Dak. The letter says the post office committee of the Senate at the last session dia not constiler 1t necessary to act on the matter, as they concluded the Postmaster General would not order the service now that the facts were manifest. Nothing further was heard of the matter until he ‘Was informed that a contract was made for a daily service from Fort Niobrara to Deadw®bd, because a portion of the Nebraska delegation had asked fort, Atter the bitter and costly star route expe- rience of the last two years he could not believe that the contract bureau would now seek shelter behind that excuse. Senator Van Wyck claims that the routes run through the lands of the Sioux Indians, and that they are not clamoring for adaily mall. ’One member of the Nebraska dele- gation who recommended the service had pre- yiously, Senator Van Wyck says, made the same Fecommendation in the case of certain routes involved in the present criminal prosecution, and appeared as a witness on behalf of the defendants. ie net receipts from the various offices on the route would not exceed $250 quarterly, while the dally service proposed 1s to cost $13,000 per annum, “Every scheme of plunder in the west Is always based upon constderation of thé settler. ‘That was the old star route cry.” He says, in conclusion: “By a strange and grim coincidence this contract is let to Jno. R. Miner, now and for two years on trial for star route frauds (with another star route defendant, Mr. Vaile, also now on trial, as secu- rity), and if this contract 1s secured to’ him, the department should ask his acquittal from’ the ere indictment, with compliment and WHAT GEN. ELMER SAYS. Second Assistant Postmaster General Elmer, when asked about the Van Wyck letter to-day by a STak reporter, said that he guessed the letter would keep. It was intended, he thought, for home consumption, but owing to the scarcity of news it had been given a wide publicity. “He said that the Niobrari route would justify the ex. pea and when a rallroad company could af- tie government. might be wiling 0 Day $10 6 government a tillefor a mail route “ The figures of this office show,” he continued, “ that in spite of the increased mileage of the star route service in Nebraska this year the service is being performed for $110,000 less. Last year the service for the whole state of Nebraska cost 082, and this year it will cost $395,066.” “In regard to the contract,” he went on, “if the devil was the lowest bidder and Bob Ingersoll the bondsman, we would have to award the contract. ‘There is no alternative.” ee The “Spinning Jenny” Controversy.

Avery largely attended meeting of the Union Veteran corps was held last evening, when the troubles that have caused some dissension in the ranks were brought formally before the corps Lieut. Harrison offered the resolutions printed In Wednesday’s Srax, requesting the officers and non-cominisstoned Officers,yvoth of line and staff, Wo tender their resignations, and declaring vacant the offices of any who failed to resign; that the corps then elect Heutenants and non-commis- stoned officers, and appoint a committee to take into consideration the subject of Miling the vacan- cles of commandant and staff. THE CHARGES AGAINST THE CAPTAIN Lieut. Harrison, when called upoff to state the reasons for offering the resolutions, sald it had been observed for some time that men were leay- ing the corps, and on inquiring the cause they had found that there was a want of confidence in the captain; that his financial management had not been satisfactory, and large sums of money had disappeared for which there were no voucher: that he had failed to make reports. “He has led 0 me, and lied to others,” sald Lieut. Harriso ‘and I forone cannot serve unter him, for I have no faith in him, and there are forty-two others the same way.” Mr. Lynch said he believed Capt. Thomison would tell as straight a story as apy man alive, and he suggested that the motion be referred to acommittee, He did not believe that Capt Thom- ason had handled money wrongfully. They knew ‘where some of the money had gone. Lieut. Edgar, 1 a speech, said robbery and misappropriation had been charged against men who stood between the corps and its creditors. After a heated discussion the chair ruled the resolutions out of order, as they were in the nature of an amendment to the constitution. ‘This ruling was sustained by a vote Of 34 Wo 2x. AN INCIPIENT BOLT. Lieut. Harrison then shouted: “Comrades on the left, retire and forma new corps. Let us leave a man whoembevzles our funds,” and amid some confusion a movement was made towards the door by Lieut. Harrison and some of the members of the corps, while others sought to stop a stam~ pede. Lieut, Edgar, amid shouts of “Let them go,” ‘sung out loudly: “ou fought once against seces- sion; don’t secede now.” Capt. Thomason ny remarked: “Let them golf they wish.” er a few moments disorder conciliatory speeches were made and the corps again proceeded to business. Mr. E. D. Brennan wi ‘defended Capt. Thom- agon. A motion made by Lieut. Urell was_carried, by which Messrs. Harrison, Simmons, H oover, Cor- son and Lynch were appointed to investigate mat- ters relating to the finances of the corps and re- port at the next meeting. CAPT. THOMASON’S REMARKS. Capt.
