THE STAR KOUTE TRIAL, The Post to-morrow will publish an interview with Colonel Roberi G. In gersoll, embodying » number of affida- vits, which ho makes pubiic for the purpose of showing that ecveral of the jurymen in the lite star route trial were corruptly spproached by em- ployes of the dspurtment of juctic that these employes regularly reported their proceedings frou day to day to the department or romeothizor thereof. The first affidavit given is by Williaw Knox Brown, one of ihe jurors, on the 12th inst., as follows: County of Washington, District of Columbia: William Knox Brown, being duly sworn, says he wag A juryman in what is known as the star route caee; that during the trial of said case, one Arthur Payae, came to affiant’s house, and left a note saying he wished to seo afiiant; affiant afterwards saw said Pagne and Payne said & man had asked him if he could say anything that he wished and that he had told the man that he could say avythivg to this affiant; Payne took out a paper and handed it to affiant to read;the paper was on agreement with F. H. Fall to be signed hy afliat, to the ef- foct that affiant aud Thomas Martin, also one of the jury should vote to convict defendants in the atar route case, or that afliant’s that of Martin the jury; then affiant was to receive $2,500; affiiant read tho pa per and then said to Arthur Fayne: “Iam going according to the evi- dence; Fall is » damnped rascsl and you both can go to hell, and 1 shall Vote in accordanco with my convie- tions.”" Arthur Payne said Fall was o lawyer and had his oftice on D street, (Signed) Wx. K, Browx. Bubscribed and sworn to ‘ ) before me this 12th day | seAL of Oct. A. D. 1882 - J. T, OLssTEAD, Notary Public, Then foliows the aflidavit of Thos, R. Foote, & resident of Washington until July last, now of Nowark, N. J. Uader date of Newark, September 26, he swears hp was prescut wh Payne was ewployed by Fall to cor- supt the jury, and that he himself brousht Payne o Fall for that pur- ose. He also swears that Full gave im to understand that he (Fall) was employed by the government and he was to get wmoney from the govern ment to the smoutits he offerad for the corruption of Brown and Martin, Fall iuformed affiant that he hed the siguature of Brown to the paper aboy referred to, in order that ho mis show it to the pariies he was working for and thus obiam the money Noxt comes the atfidavit of James A. Nelson, Washiugton, Soptembhor in which he sweare ha wet Fall early last \J Iyl iaformed him he woul 1 b swployed by tl detoctive in the sta departm justics as route caee, also stated ho od two or three men working under him who would make reports to him and if Nolson vas em- ployed by him it would be in the capucity of epccial detec ive; that one part of Neleon's duty would be to watch the jurymen and sce that no one tampered with them. Nelson swoars subsequently he went to the attornoy generai’s office and there met Brewster Cameron, Fall toid Cameron ho thought Nelson's service would bo valuable and Cam- eron informed Nolson he would be placod on the rells of the department at $50 a month, Nelson was to receive instructions from KFall. Some days later or about the 1st of July, Fal! instructed Nel. son to see Jurors Brown and Martin, two colored jurors, and say to themn if they would vote for conviction of Dorsey and Brady they would be well paid for it, and both have government places at once after the trial, Nelson swears Fall iuformed him that he (Eall) was authorizad by the proper partien to sav this, He was also in- structed by Fall tor wateh Dorsey and Brady and seo who they were consult- ing with at all times, Win, R. Liwe, vesident of Washing- ton, swoars Iall approached him and endeavered to employ him to obtain evidence that one of the star route jurors had acsopted A bribe in another case aud made an agreement that 1o cuse the jury could not be broken, to induce oue or more of them to vote for convicting the de- fendants, 8o that the worse that could happen the government wonld b: a hung jury. Fall, Laws swears, claimed to be n the employ of the governwent, aud authorized ufliant not only to pay the money to vhe jurymen, but promised them governmnent positions, Laws dectined w atsist Fall, inform iug him, his (Liwe) sympathics were with the dofendunts, Thomes R Foote certities that on the 25°h day of Saptewber he roceived a letter from ¥. H. Fall, written Seplember 24th containing the fol- lowing passage: “Friesp F Arthur Payne to-day. Brown 18 out with a statement that Payno tried to bribe him to vote for the goyernment, and that ho rep-esen‘ed F. H. Fal). 1f Payne or me gots into any troabls wo may want you, as ycu know all about it. W can ‘i’ Brown, if we want to. OF course you and Payne found cut T was a_government detec- tive, and 1 wanted a point on Brown. Taere wag, so_far 2s I kuow, no at- tempt to bribe. There may have been enough got from Brown to ‘ix’ him, if the government wauts us to do it. Dou't talk to anyone about. the matter till T inform you at the right time. The government will perhaps wunt ue. Brown has lied and. ve can muke him smart for it, if he attempts to injura Payne. Ho and you know 1t all and will stand together against Brown, Payne will send you a paper containing my interview with the re- porter. Mum is the word. Please answer. Youra respectfully, “F. H, FaLL"” Col. TIngersoll next addresses two affl lavits, subscribed by Wm. Hol- mead, one of the jurors, on the 10:h of Septemberand on the 25th instant He swears that during the second week of the etar route trial Fall came to Ius house to see him, alleging the visit was at the instance of Attorney {Gone jrewster tor the purpose of ¢ whether he (Holmead) kuew of auy attempts by defendants to corrupt the jury, such Information having come to the eais of the attor- ney genersl, Kall told him all tho other jurors were under ban suspic- i |ionnd ne ws the only one in whom the departmert had any confidoncs, Fall also told him Merri Bliss and Kor knew nothing about his employment in the star 1oute case, but he reported to the attorney gen- eral cvery night. Holmead on this and oneor two other occasions when Fall sought interviews with him, avoided conversation as much as pos- sible, but told Fall he had no knowl- edge of any attempts to corrupt the jury and defended with much zoul Dickson, Olcott and Martin, o names wero mentioned by Fall asbeing under suspicion by the department Lo promised, howover, he would do all ho could to “'ravel out any corraption he might hear of.” Colonel Ingersoll then introduced flidavit of Edward Taylor, {aylor,” he suys, *‘wes during the star route trisl tho principal ageni of the department of justice. He was cognizaut of nearly everything that was done. He wus charged with the care and custody of most of tho wit- neases of the government coming from a distance, He held close relutions with the department of justice, and knew what was done and who did it, In short, it appeara from the letters and papers in his possession, and from memorands made b him, that he en- joyed to the fulles: cxtent the confi- dence of the departnent.” Taylor's aftidavit 18 to the effact that he was employcd by A, B Now- combe, special agen: of the depart- ment, on the Gth o July, 1841, as detective, and contined that service up to Fobruary 51, 1882, when he was employed by Bro water Can eron, general agent of the dopartment of justice, in connecticu with the star route cases, Oa the I4th of \lune, Tsylor, at Cameron's ~cquest, brought to the latter Frank I . Fall, and rec- ommended hum a: good man for deteclive work. Cameron, in Tay lor's preseuce, promied Kall §,000 if he produced evidence that & mjor- ity of the jury had leen bought by th the defense. Fall sa | be wonld do it, but thought Merr should not know anything about Cameroy roed to keep it fr m Merrick, Fall said Browa red juror) wasl] on @& ¢ case and hung the jury an. s paid for it; that James Nelson man who paid the money, was der Lis con OMAHA trol and would swear to the fact if he was paid fo Cameron, at the later nterview skod Fall if ho wes ac- quainted with any of the jurors, Fa replied that he kuew the juror Hol mead intimately. Cameron ssid, Holmead; seo what you oin do with him.” Fall promised to, and have Holmead sound the ather jurors Caylor met Cameron and Full sgain a fw daya later, when Camoron atked Fall if he had seen Holmead Fall replied that he had not. Cameron said it was very important he would do so. If Holmead nod one or two other jurora could ba secured who would hold on for conviction, they might secure a compromise by which Brady and R:rdell would be convicted. Cameron also remarked he would prefer this to breaking a jory. Later in tho day Taylor told Fall he had aeen Holmead and Hol- mead said nothing had been proven against any one of the defendants but he would conviet Brady on his face aud Rerdell, because ho believed him also to bs a rascal. Several days aftorward Taylor ' received & vote from Fall in which he said Holmead had told him there was 1o case, and if it was given to the jury they would acquit without leav- g their seats. Holmead had also told Fali that all the jurors oxpected the defense would attempt to bribe them, but they had aot doue so. Later Taglor and Fall met Cameron, who said the attorney geveral had ocon- cluded it would not o to break the jury, but he (-he attorney general) wauted evidence that the defenes had bribed some of them, and with a hung jury, after the trial was over, he (the sttorney general) wonld uso this evi- denica to prosecute theze jurors, apd it would yo out to the world that the defense had a hung jury by bribery, which would be almost as good as conviction. 3 The affidavit of Foreman Dickson was also introduced, the substance of which has already heen published. Colonel Ingersoll concludes the inver- view by sying be thinks these afiida- vits establish the fact that agents and cmployeen of the depsrtment of justice were for months engaged in an offort Lo corrupt with money and promise of « flical position to the jury, upon whose verdict depended the rey - utationand liberty of the dofendants.
