The department of justice to-day made public the firat part of the re- port of special counsel, H. H. Wells, appointed to aid 1n the trial of certain criminal offonses alleged to have been committed in the progress of the re. cent trial of the star route cases so cplled. Wells says: Tho affidavits show, if they are to bo believed, that members of the jury were offered bribes in money for their votes, which ‘they listened to and considered with the persons thus atten pting to de- biuch them, and these solicitations, it is alleged, proceeded as well from agents of the government as trom agents of persons on trial; but I as sume it can make no difference whose agents made the disgraceful propoza'e, Doniphan is first considered. Lt apoears before the jury was sworn one Frederick E Shaw, member of the regular panel, said o Doniphan he would like to get ‘‘on this case,” and having been peremptorily chal- lenged by Merrick for the United States, he abused Merrick. From the affidavit of James Leonard it appears immediately after Shaw had testitied that he was an impartial jurorand had been rejected, he said, ‘‘Oh, weli, damn it, they will never convict them anyhow. If 1 was on_ there I would hang out until hell frcze over before they should be convicted.” At another time later he said he ‘‘would do anything in the world to save Doraey.” Shaw said to Domphan, “‘Look here, I've got a damned gocd thing for you, and I will make a littie myself,too. I have got money in my pocket to give you if you will favor 8. W. Dorsey. I have two or three hundred dollars I can give you now and will make it a thousand within ten days.” =Juror Wm.

CLevVELAND, October 26.—A tele- gram from New York to-day to local brokera report the sale of a control- ling interest iu the Nickel Plate rail- way to Vanterbilt at eeventeen for common stock and thirty-seven for preferred. Officials of the road at headquarters here disclaim any know- ledge of the sales. A prominent of- ficer of another road who is in Van- derbilt’s confidence, was asked what he knew abontit, He evasively re- plied he waz not in a position to say anything about it at present. The re- port is believed here, fool. I said, who sent you to me—I would like to see the man. He said his name was Fall. As soon as he said that I was confident they did not intend to give me any money hut just tosee what I would eay. I drove him away. He said he wantel to oonvict Brady snd Dorsey, any of them. It was my opinion he was putting up a _job on me. When Brown read tho agreement he was to sign he said to Payne, “1 am going according to the ‘evidence. Fall is a damned rascal, and you can both go to hell,” Wells says it is apparent from the whole history of the alleged attempt upon Brown's virfue, it was not done with the knowledge, in bshalf or in theinterest of the prosecution; that its guilty authors were neither agents nor acied with the knowledge or ap- proval of any officer of the department of justios, aud it was a carefully pre- pared conspiracy against the adminis- tration of justice. The prosecution of Fall, Payne, Thomas and Foote and others not named, is recommend- od for attempting to_corrupt Brown. The originals of the aflidavits pub- lished by Col. Ingersoll are ssked to insure successful prosecution.
