He Explains Matters About the Star Houte Provecutiong ‘MR. BLISS’ WAR ON COOK AND GIBSON—MR. BLISS’ ANXIETY TO HAVE DISTRICT ATTORNEY CORKBILL REMOVED—THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DENIES STATE- MENTS MADE BY ME. BLISS—WHY MR MERRICK WAS EMFLOYED—FACTS ABOUT THE STROBACH AND OTT- MAN CASES, Attorney General Brewster was examined before the Springer committee this morning. He said that after his appointment as counsel for the govern- ment in the star route cases he went home and prepared the arguments upon the informations, and studied up those cases, He made an argument im court in opposition to the motion to quash the information. After that he was appointed Attor- ney General. He believed his fees amounted to about $5,000 tor services as special counsel. ‘This Was all paid before he became Attorney General. Mr. Bilss was employed before witness was con- nected with the Department of Justice, and he did not know anything of Bilss’ contract, bor the rate of his compensation. COOK AND GIBSON. “What was the cause of the dismissal of Messrs, Cook and Gibson?” asked Mr. Springer. ‘The witness replied: “Mr. Bliss asked that they be dismissed, saying that tt was not safe to have them in the case. Cook and Gibson came to me, also, with their side of the case, complaining that Bilss treated them very badly. "They said that he displayed a want of confidence in them which not only reflected discredit upon them, but seriously affected their usefulness, and complained that they were not allowed access to papers. Mr. Woodward joined Bliss in recommending thelr dismissal, say- ing they were not safe to have tn the case. Bilss sald Unat.he belleved they were furnishing tnforma- Uon to the other side, aud he had to change the combination on the safe as they were disciosing the contents of papers kept Uhere to the defense.” Witness was disinclined to dismiss these gentle. men al that time, but Bliss insisted upon It so strenuously that witness was about to dismiss them when he received Unelr resignations. BLISS WANTED DISTRICT ATTORNEY CORKBILL DI¥- MISSED, Witness, continuing, said that Bliss had written letters to him, probably two or three, saying that ‘he would not act in the cases unless Col.Corkhill was, dismissed from the district re has claiming ‘that Corkhill was associated with the defendants, and having access to the jury room, gave them in- formation which would aSsist them in meeting the roseculion. The Attorney General went to the resident and showed him the letters. The Presi- dent answered, as he always had, that he wanted the cases vigorously prosecuted aud. would do all he could to assist, ‘He would follow the Attorney, General's advice In the matter. | If he desired Cork- ‘hilUs dismissal he should be dismissed. Witness ‘Said Uhat he did not desire the dismissal of Cork. hill. “He had done good service in the Guiteau case, which was not then completed, and his services Were still necessary, Besides, he deemed it unjust ‘to disuulss him upon general charges under the cir- cumstances. SENATOR EDMUNDS ADVISES THE EMPLOYMENT OF MERRICK. ‘The witness went to see Senator Edmunds, who agreed with him that it would be a harsh thing to | turn Corkhill out. Witness went to see Edinunds because, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary com- mittee, he would have a voice in the removal, by having to pass upon the confirmation of Corkhill’s Sucerssor. Senator Edmunds suggested that Mr. Merrick be empioyed lo assist Bilss, a8 this would, remove the case from polities. Bliss expressed de- Ught at the employment of Merrick. ‘The witness said that Mr, Ker was appointed because of his experience in drawing Indictments, and also becuse he Was adeiuoerat. Witness sent for Corkhill, and told him it was within is (wit hess’) power to remove iim on the spot. CORKHILL PROTESTED that he had not been fairly treated, and, while ad- mltting is Social relations with the defendants, declared his only object to be to discharge his duty to the government. Corkhiil sald he only wanted fair treatment, and he was willing to submit to the judgment ‘of the Attorney Generai that tf, at any Ume he should appear dereliet, he would be willing to be removed. ‘That day Corkhill put his name to the Indictments. ‘The witness sald he was surprised when be learned that Ker was prosccut— ing the cases, and that Biss had put im at that Work without witness’ knowledge. He reciied the trouble with Mr. Biss about his bill, saying he thought Mr. Buss Was very wnelvil about the mat ter. Bliss claimed $6,700, Dut Mnally $4,700 was al- lowed him, but it 13 yet" unpald. Bliss Mnally ac cepted the witness’ ruling in the matter. ‘THE ACCEPTING OF PRICE AS A WITNESS. ‘The witness said that Bliss’ testimony about the conference in regard to accepting Price as a witness Wascorrect. He sald that Bliss and Merrick got very much excited, and each threatened to leave the case unless his view of the matter was ac- cepted. Unul he read Ker’s testimony une wit- hess never knew that Bliss had withdrawn the case Decause of his (witness) decision to accept Price as a witness, WALSH'S CHAROE THAT SECRETARY CHANDLER WAS ‘CONSULTED. ‘The chairman inquired about Walsh's charge that Secretary Chandler was consulted as to prose- cuting Kellogg, and that Bilss had written some letter or letters against that, prosecution. ‘The Attorney General furnished the following as the only letter he fecelved trom Mr. Buss on that point: Post OFFICE DEPARTMENT, Wasnixarox, D. C., Dec. 20, 182. My Dear Sir:—As to the T Which | spoke of to you this a.m. as to the using of Price as a wit- ness, Why not consuit with ‘tary Chandier on ‘the political view of it? Of course, you would not consult any one on the legal aspect: Dut the mat- ter may be pence of great diMiculties. Merrick may get uly if he does not have bis own way, and make trouble in the case on trial At thesame time we cannot any of us allow Price, who Is indicted and guilty, to escape untess he gives us soine one more guilty, and does it certainly. Without Walsh Price {s of little or no use to us, and Walsh 1s not now available tous.) With Walsh, even, we do not. gel a clear case through Price's assistance agatnst Any one, except, perhaps, Brady, and. situated as We are now we do not need to give up any one to get proof against Brady tn another case than that on trial, Price cannot ald us in Lhe one on trial Merrick has become greatly interested to attack Kellogg. I think politics affect him. He may claim to have promised Price protection. I thinkin fact,he has done so only conditionally. He certainly had no egal right to t without consulting you and etting authority from you. He had no moral right lo do it without consulting me. I think, in fact,he ‘has hot dove It, but he may be willing to have it supposed he has, as belng more likely to get your approval of something he has done than your con- sent to do the same thing. The matter may come toa shape where you will have to “put your foot down,” but I tiink the wise way ts to temportze at least Ull Ubls Ural Is over. At worst It may become hecessary lo accept anything Merrick has done promising Price immunity, but that does not in- ‘Volve consenting to prosecutions against others With Price’s assistance, unless your judgment tells: you that such prosecutions ought to’ be instituted.

He was ltced ina dificult positicn, as he felt {t would in- Jure the case to let Biss govou off WALSH GETS POSSESSION OF INFORMATION. ‘The chairman asked if witness talked with Secre- tary Chandler about the matter. Gen. Brewster repiled that he did not; that he could not permit anybody to talk with him upon the political aspect. Of any case he had charge of as Attorney General; that he would resent an attempt to induce him to look at the political phase of a matter Involving the dispensing of justice. Being asked if hehad any cor- respondence With Secretary Chandler, ute witness replied that when Walsh's letter complaining that Bliss had sougit to injure Walsh was publ witness wrote to Bilss about it, Buss In reply denied all of Walsh’s accusations, but Walsh had intimated that the Attorney General was a to the effort to suppress the Kellogg case, he had been in consultation with a in-mber of the Cabinet. Bliss’ reply to the Attorney General's letter on the subject of Walsh’s complaint was delayed, but meantime the witness was advised ‘that Secretary Chandler was the member of the Cabinet referred to by Walsh, and that Mr. dee erat coe aie Geaeeal eo erie aa % it have Opportunity to deny Whole thing.

The | President did not lke the idea of Brewster Cam- | eron persecuting Strobach, but upon examtuing the result of Ube investigation the Pr-sident acquiesced | in its justice. ‘The Attorney General wild he did not believe that any man in the administration Would have the hanithood to stand up and main- tain the doctrine advocated by Bilss—ihat an ap- latmnent by the President, as tn the case of Stro- | ch, condoned past offenses of an individual.

THE NOTE TO BLISS, ‘The witness said in reference to his note to Buss, | asking him to see Kellogg, that Kellogg came to Lim complaining that Merrick was pursuing him; Was persecuting hit politically, Kellogg was wringing his hands and crying. “Kellogg didnot Want to see Bliss, so witness wrote a line in pencil asking Bliss to sée Kellozy. The latter expressed great obligations fer the note. Rrewster Cameron, came In, ant upon learning of the note sald: “Way that man Will make a bad use of that letter.” Mr. Brewster said he oniy gave the note to get rid of Kellogg; that Kellogg Wanted to talk with iim, but he refused, saying he did not want’ his confidence. “Upon Crmeron saying a bad use would be made of the note, witness asked Cameron to go tw Biss and’ explain the eireun- | stances under which he gave the note.

Merrick was paid liberally, but not | too liberally. Taken altogether witness thought ‘the counsel were well paid, but not_extravagantly Paid.

THURMAN'S ANTI-MONOPOLY STRENGTH—HOTEFUL BAYARD MEN AND THE CAUTIOUS FRIENDS OF RAN- DALL—CLEVELAND WILL LEAD ON {TBE FIKsT BaLLor.

The loss of Olto in Gctober ts. also considered by the Thurman boomers. They do not believe that even Thurman couid beat Blaine in that state; but they say the effect. could be dis- counted by announcing in advance that the demo rats do not count upon Ohio. THE BAYARD MEN are still working industriously, and feel hopeful. ‘They insist that Cleveland will not get the New ‘York delegation, but thaf Bayard will have a libe- ral support there. While MR. RANDALL'S FRIENDS hope to see him nominated they do not regard the prospect as very encouraging. One of them said to-day: “Randall's name mnay not be mentioned in ‘the convention at all. It will not be unless affairs take a shape that will satisfy his friends he can be nominat Should the New York men fall to agree, that may open the way for Randall. The | New York delegation falling t gree upon a man of that state may go to Randall. He has some ‘strong friends among them.

The friends of the other candidates claim, however, that this will | lessen his chances for securing tbe two-thirds necessary for the nomination. They say he will pot ‘be able to get more than a bure majority of all tne delegates, and the result will be Uhat the rest will combine against and defeat him.
