Stinde, filed a bill against District Commissioner J. R. West fora discovery, &. The Plaintiffs are residents of Louisiana, and state that Mrs. Stinde, in November, 1881, was the owner of one hundred bonds of the New Orieans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg ra!lread company, of the denomination of $1,000 eachs that at the request of defendant, at the time named, and upon his promise as her representative aod agent that ne would obtain payment of the bonds or have them exchanged for the bonds of the New Orleans and Texas Paciie R. it. Co. and would, Inthe mean- time and until they were exchanged, keep them ia his possession, she delivered the bonds to him in trust. Mrs. Stinde states that she recently derman- ded the return of the bonds, but he (West) refused to comply with the demand or to give her any information as to their whereabouts, She further states on information and belief, and so charges, that Mr. West has not ere the bonds in his pos- session, but has pledged them with some person unknown and obtained money thereon for his own benefit, without her knowledge or consent, or that of her husband, and that he is about to deal fur- ther with them, as if they were his own, and ex- change them for bonds of the Texas Pacitic rail- road and appropriate them to his own use, as if he was the real owner. It is further charged that defendant is insolvent and not able to respond to any Judgment which may be obtained against him, and if the bonds remain in his lon or subject to his control they will be utterly lost to her. ‘The plaintiffs prays that Mr. West be decreed to cover and make known in whose custodthe bonds are, for whoso ad- vances they are held for security and for whose benefit the advances were made; that he may be enjoined from claiming or obtaining possession of them, making any transfer, assignment or ex- change of the bonds, of any Interest thereon, and from making, signing and delivering any order in reference to the eee amene possession or control of the Bonds; that the holdér of ‘the Donde, when discovered, may be restrained ffom delivering them to Mr. West or otherwise disposing of them except upon the order of the court.

ARGUMENT ON THE PRAYERS. To-day was assigned by Judge Wylie to the ar- gument in the prayers to the court submitted by the counsel inthe star route trial. The jury was excused from attendance onthe court. The pray- ers, which were printed, covered twenty-eight printed pagesof the recor. The government sub- mitted twenty, covering six printed pages of the record, and the defense one hundred prayers, cov~ ering about twenty-two pages. Judge Wylie directed that the government should open the argument, begiuning with the prayers of the prosecution. Mr. Ker opened the argument. = . Ere ‘The first five of the prayers c¢ the . . the constituents ofa conspiracy and what evidence justified finding a verdict of conspiracy; the sixth prayer alleged that if Brady knowingly and pur- posely allowed for expedition on routes a greater Sum than was proper or necessary It was a cir- cumstance stronzly tending to establish the charge of acorrupt motive on his part; the sev- enth prayer relates to the crime of forgery and the statutes concerning the presentation of false claims, ete.; the eight declares that the circumstances attending an order procured by means of forged or altered papers would af- ford strong,if not conclusive,evidence of acrimtnal combination among the parties participating in such transactions; the ninth declares that the Second Assistant Postmaster General was respon- sible, legally, for his orders, if they were not made in obedience to specific instructions given by the Postmaster General; the tenth prayer declares 1t to have been a violation of the law on the part of Brady to make contracts exceeding the appronri- ation for the year; the tenth prayer asserts that orders of increase made by Brady after the pas- sage ofthe ‘fifty percent” law, April 7, 1880, which orders involved a}soa multiplication of expedition, Were in Violation of the spirit of the law: the twelfth declares orders in which the amounts al- lowed respectively for expedition and increase were not separately stated to be unlawful; the thirteenth prayer sets forth that the testimony of Rerdell 1s not to be discredited, because it is that of an accompitce, if the jury find that it has been corroborated in material points; the fourteenth asserts that the jury will be justified In refusing to give to the testimony of the defendants in their own behalf the credence due to disinterested wit- nesses, if they find that it is not full or explicit, or thatitis evasive; the fifteenth declares that the refusal of a defendant witness upon cross-examina- tion to produce books and papers entities the jury to presume that such books and papers if produced would have disclosed evidence disadvantageous to such defendant; the sixteenth asserts that the ir- lar manner in which 8. W. Dorsey’s counsel offered to produce sald books and papers should in no way lessen or mitigate the force of any pre- sumption or influence to be drawn from the non- Production of the same; the seventeenth relates to the value to be given to circumstantial testl- mony in the case of a conspiracy, which 13 rarely, if ever, proved by positive testimony; tne elgh- teeath prayer declares that in a case of conspira- cy one alone cannot be found gulity, “but in this case one of the defendants having pleaded guilty of the conspiracy, as charged in the indictment, the jury ts Instructed that they may bring in a verdict against any one or more of his codefend- ants whom they may find from the evidence to have been guilty with him in said conspiracy.” The nineteenth and twentieth prayers declare that the failure of the defendants to examine James W. Bosler, R. P. Williamson, L. P, William. son and Charles’ Pelham, If the jury considered their testimony material and to interrogate Wm. H. Betts on material questions, were circum- Stances for the jury to consider. ‘Mr. Ker proceeded to argue upon the 15th, 16th, 19th and 20th prayers, hol ing that the principles Set forth in the others had already been well set- led by the rulings of the court during the trial. Mr. Ker spoke for an hour and a half, and was fol- lowed by Mr. Davidge for tlie defense. Mr. Davidge finished his argument upon the prayers of the government about one o'clock. The court then took a recess. STAR ROUTE NOTES, Mr. E.D.

It covers 6,000 pages of print, containing on an average 700 words to the page, and hence contains about 4,200,000 words. It was made by E. D.
