Inspector Woodward Cross-Examined. THE STORY OF ONE EXPEDITED ROUSE GRAPHICALLY TOLD—AISO THE HISTORY OF 4 DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE GOVERNMENT COUNSEL Mr. Woodward being cross-examined Defore the Springer committee to-day, said that during the interviews between Col. Cook, the Postmaster Gen- eral, witness and the President, tn which Mr. Cook pleaded for tmmunity for Senator Dorsey on account of his services to the republican party, Mr. Garfield signified in no way what his feelings in the matter were. Witness said he did not know why J L. Sanderson's name was included In the first tn~ dictments; he was in no way connected with the Dorsey combination, and witness was greatly sur- rised when he found him Inciuded with the rest He said he presumed that Sanderson was indicted upon his oath concerning the necessity of the rout “Would not he be subject on that toa separate Indictment for perjury?” asked Mr. Springer. “I am under the impression,” was the re] ‘the idea prevailed that one would not be subjected, to prosecution for perjury upon those oaths.” Wit ness Said further, that his objection to including: inderson in the first tndictinents was because there Was no evidence to closely connect him In a conspiracy With Dorsey and the rest; whereas there Were other cases which were strong against his DISAGREEMENT OF GOVERNMENT COUNSEL ABOUT THE CASE OF PRICE. With relation to the difficulty concerning Price's testimony, witness said that he was sent for to set- Ue a dispute between the counsel with relation to that testimony. Price's affidavit was placed in wit ness’ hands, and, having cone over it, he had an interview wita the Attorney General and tofornicd him that Price's testimony was important. Th: Attorney General then said that he would accept Price as a government witness, and {Instructed wit hess to $0 notify the counsel.

THE STORY OF ONE FXPEDITED ROUTE. Witness went into an explanation of the route, its pay, etc. and the expedition. At first, he sa the route was 725 miles long, service once a week, and the pay was $6830 a year. Parker was the contractor. Some petitions for Increase were fled. In December, 1878, Fervice and pay were Increased, Petitions for’ faster time and more pay continued to. come in,all written in the same hand, and by an order: another increase of pay of 167 per cont was allowed. ‘he witness produced an afdavit of the contrcto: for increase, Which he said he did not belteve was true. By one order the pay was Increased over £31,000, Making the total pay about 50.00. A Postmaster on the route, Blythe, made a report to Ue department that the Toute Was altogether use less. ‘The letters over the route averaged one tor every two days. Biythe wrote that the route was through a wilderness and altogether useless By this time the contract had been in existence 101 avs and the pay had been facreasoy to $50,000. ‘oInplalnts of Inefficiency of the service were mnitde, one from Gen. Hatch, of the U. s di: c mall had been recelved “at hls ten days A er on reported’ that he hadn't received any al Lis oMce for three weeks. The witness. pro- duced a number of such complaints from various sources. The postmaster at Darlington reported that the mall over the route did not averace over per month. ‘The re- ts showed that the service Was performed on orsebuck, While Increase of pay Was obtilned on the basis "of a number of men and horses betny, employed. ‘The contractor had filed an aftidavit Uhat It required a nwnber of men and horses to per form the service. Orders of Brady,tnereasing the nay of the service were in the face of the overwheim- ing and authentic reports that the route was unne- cessary and the service miserable. Additional pet Were sub- tlons for farther expedition and Inerease soine signed by and G mitted by the witness, men froin the southwest an additional pay of $i . Brady ord ‘The wi that a gentleman of this city was patd $50) 10 take @ carriage and drive around seeking stenatures of Congressinen to the petitions tor increase. He got | the signatures of some members, one of whom said the Increase ought not to be granted, and benz éatistied the department would not. make such an allowance he sired, because requested to do so by afriend, Mr, Woodward said that tnembers of Con gress often signed these petitions pro sorma, Lot Understanding the bad use made of thelr names, ‘The witness added that t was not charged thavany members of Congress recelved any pay tor thelr in- fluence. ‘They were siinply deceived. He referred to the letter of Gen. Sherman, of 1878, to Senator Dorsey, in favor of this route. "The withess said that Ube total annual revenues of ‘this route were about $265, Whifle the pay Was over £150.00, The annul Tevenue of one ofiice only $1.61, Witness showed that Postmaster Blythe, who recommended, the abolition of the route becatise of its worthless. ness, Was Temoved in spite of petitions of citizens for hls retention, and there fs on file in the depart- ment a letter from Gen. Brady to the Postinaster General insisting upon Blythe’s reluoval for “gross negligence,” &¢. ‘The witness next referred to and produced evt- dence in relation to the offer of the contractor to bribe a lady who was postinaster on the route, the facts of which have been given in Tar Stak. 4 later order from Gen. ‘Brady, reducing the service to three times a week, and cutuing Of $64,539 of the pay, Was ‘shown This was after agitation of star route frauds had fun. Evidences of the uselessness of the route ‘and wortblessness of the service continued to pour 4h, and in 1881 Second Assistant Postinaster General Eliner abolished portions of ttie route, reduced the Service on all of it and cut down the pay of the por- ons maintained to figures commensurate with te service. Recurring to the earlter pertod of the route, the ‘witness Went on to show that the evidence of*dis- tance, ete,, fled to secure Increase of pay was fraudulent, and that the papers were written by the same person, He produced AN ORDER OF GEN. BRADY, | allowing about $20,000 additional for an alleged ad- ditional distance, and in this connection be pro- duced official reports ot post office inspeniors to show that the post offices which the ext-> dis. tance purported to include had either beon . bol. ished or were simply cattle ranches. The tenc: of this testimony was to establish a systein of fraud, ‘with which the Second Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral’s olfice was connected, to procure increase of Bets by Brady for additional distances frasciateatty jers DY (or nal distances, fraudulent concocted, were suown..
