to
Washington March 14. In tho
star route trial this morning Wilson
called Win. 11 Turner. Ho is tho
only defendant who was acquitted as a
result of tho first trial Ho
said ho entered tho post
onlcedepaitinontiisn first-class rlcrk
lu July ISO-). He was Mibocquoiitly
route bureau clerk mid afterwards cor-
responding oloik being assigned In
187. to the Pacific states division. He
had nothing to do with the prepara-
tion of tho advertisement of Novem-
ber 1877.
Wilson asked If the witness over
had a eOnfeteuco with any of tlie de-
fendant's relative to that advertise-
ment mid tho court ruled out tho
question upon objection by the prose-
cution Ho knew Miner and Rerdclllntho
spring of 1878. Hud known Vnllo for
ten years Nover had been specially
uttinuuo in ms acquaintance with
Dorsoy. Speaking of the degree of in-
timacy existing between them thode-
fendant said that inter tho division or
routes lu 1S77 Hordcll and Vnllo
would meet In tho deimitineut with-
out sneaking. Rcrdcll had nothing to
do with Miner's routes alter thatdalo
and Miner had 410 control owr the
routes managed by Hcidett.
A paper connected Willi (he Kuwlhis

witness lly said tho alteration run

of forty-llvo hours) lmd been made by
himself to save tlio trouble of making
upn now ease. Tho petitions weio
never nltored while in tho department.
Wilson inquired K he hint over re-
ceived money mining slocks or other
consideration from any of defendant
to Inlluenee his action In connection
whh the routes.
The pnwoeutloii objected because
the witness was now n parti to the
indictment
N llson reloirod to the evidence con
cerning Jones.
Tho court usiceu how Jones fuui heou
connected with tho witness.

timony of Kerdell and MoVcaiih where

Merrick said tho question- was
no more pertinent than the evidence

witness was ul.owed (0 touch upon

called upon to rebut Ids testimony.

the judge bado him remain silent un-
til tlie question hud been passed upon.
IhgcrsolL in explanntlon of tho of-
ror assoiteu the pencil memorandum
wiiBnotpenul.no but was in whole or
part made by Rcrdcll. it was a pari
or the defense to show that Brady as
"Smith" never received n cepl; that
Turner as "Jones" never received
a cent. Suppose it should turn out
that not a solitary cent had been puld
to Brady or to Tumor'.' Ho thought
It would establish the fuel that (ho
pencil memorandum was uof genuine
or that (ho meaning put 011 It was ab-
solute perjury. It would establish the
fact that Rcrdcll had maliciously and
falsely put 11 wrong meaning on the
entries. Tho question was
whether ho did not Write
the memorandum himself for the pur-
pose of purchasing his llbeity from
the government. Tho defense wanted
to go fin (her and prove by others
whom Rerdell salu had received
111 limy was false
Blf characterized the oiler as a
ftlde-Issue. not calculated to show
Whether Rordell told the truth.
Tho court reviewed MoVeagh's tes-
timony upon tho point lu question. It
had been given against Rerdoll thou a
defendant. Would tho evidence of
the witness that ho received no
monevi prove the falsity of Mc-
Veighs testimony.
Ingcrsoll said It would prove the
falsity oUtcrdell's statement hut the
court did not concede It Would not
provo that Rerflcli had carried out
Dorsey's directions in mulling entries.
True (lie witness might never have
received a cent yet Doncy might
have directed Rerdell to mako tho
entry if tlio witness' statements are
title then Dorsey might have had
anothor object.
Wllbon said tho prosecution had of-
fered the evidence to show tho Im-
proper use of money by Doreoy ami it
nas but fair that they should nave an
npiortuu(ty to dlspiovt It The de-
fense should not be compelled (o meet
the whole case at once They should
be allowed io dlspiovu It and no on 0110
stepnla time
lugareoll inquired if the court would
allow Dorsey to swear that ho never
made that memorandum and m-ver
paid money to Turner.
The court answered ''Certainly."
