Special Dispatch to Tan Bwa, ANOTHER CHAPTER FROM BRADY, WasHINGTON, March 16, —This morning General Brady again took the witness stand, and was further oross- examined by Bliss. Bliss took up the procoedings of the congress commit. toos and asked witness 1f his state ments then made were true, He as- serted they were. Bliss—Don’t you know you made ten times the number of orders made by your , Routt and Ty- ner. Brady—1I presume I dfd; I thought myself ten times better an assistant general postmaster than they were together, ughter.) er aod Jewell did little in_expedition. It ‘was not part of the Jewellian plan to g}:n to increase star routes or steam- at service. Bliss —You spoke of congress ap- szovlng your act. Where you you d that? Brady—I regard granting the de- ficiency appropriation as approval. Bliss—Was that the only basis? Brady (sharply) —That was enough. Blies—Did they give you all yon asked? Brady—No, but they gave me enough, Bliss—Then you asked for more thsn you wanted? Brady —Yes, for more than enough to make up the deficiency. Bliss —Did you not say te William Lilley, . sub-contractor, in August, 1880, that if the sub contract on Mia- eral Park was given to one of Jeu- nings' you would cut the service down to » trip a week? Ingersoll objected. . thav'he did ot rewemberr suel con- versation, had fult like maying such abont Jenniogs because he rendered such miscrable service on other rontes.

Merrick expressed his i tantion of showing that these drafta for §1,250 each and $2,600 in money had been placed upon Brady's desk by a con- tractor for a corrupt pu-pose. He ar- gued it was competent evidence for elther direct or cross examination. ‘The government would show that this witness had dragged his white robes of office in the gutter at the bidding and for the pay of others in reference to other routes. They wanted to have 1t out of his own mouth, so they might rebut him, The court interrupted, and asked if Merrick held that, if the facts were proven as proposed, he could oblige the defendant to criminate himself. Merrick contended he coald, and read from authorities in support of his proposition. Havicg voluntarily gone on the staud the defendant must run his risk cf criminating himself. The law did not coutemplate force whon such witnesses were allowed to testify. If they showed that cn or about the same time (that the indictments cov- ered) witness was steeped in villainy, was 1t not competent evidene:? During the delivery of Merrick’s argument, which occupied half an hour and was characterized by bltterness and scathihg comments upon Brady, the latter sat with the greatest com- posure in the witness box, looking him calmly in the face. Without hearing the argument on the part of the defense, court ad- journed until Mood CROOK'S WORK. Special Disj atch to Tux Brx.
