The Cases 20 Over TIL September.

Col. Cook thanked the Court and said
that the officers of the Government would
industriously prepare their testimony, and
hoped to be ready to lay it before the grand
jury in September next. This closed the
matter, and the crowd drawn there by the
interesting proceedings quite rapidly left
the courtroom.
The Evening critic. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1881-1885, 1881-06-23
The Application Denied.

Judge Cox said that the subject was one
of great delicacy and difficulty; that pend
ing the preparation of the testimony by the
officers of the Government, it was apparent
that the grand jury could take no cog
nizancc of the matter whatever; that the
officials of the Government charged with
this duty in the case do not present any
any accusations against Gen. Brady or
any one else, and it would therefore
be perfectly futile to instruct them to
take this matter up Inquiry by them
would not result in any vindication for
Gen. Brady nor would it be bar to another
prosecution; that SO far as the newspaper
abuse is concerned, it was matter which
could not be controlled or prevented except
through such proceedings as the law pre-
scribes, such as suits for damages for libel
GUS publications. He could not see how the
case could go before the grand jury, and
though the parties might have to suffer
odium, he was obliged to refuse the motion
of Gen. Brady's counsel.

ton He then went on to show the par
ticulars of the star-routes rs published in
the newspapers, and which, he urged, were
furnished from the post office records and
which must have been read by the grand
jurors and which could not fail to some cx-
tent to influence them. He claimed that
these publications were garblcd and the
alleged frauds were easily susceptible of ex-
PLANTATION.
Brady and His Counsel Denied Ac-
cess TO OHicial Records.
He contcndcd that while the press had
access to the records for purposcsl Of defa-
nation, General Brady and his counsel had
been officially notified that they should not
have such access. What remains then,
said he, but to appeal to the Court? 1t is
not necessary that there should be an actual
case before the Court. The Court will take
official notice of rumors. The immediate
reason of this application was an article in
the star quoting information derived from
Col. Cook, to the effect that the evidence
was prepared and that it was for the
convenience of the Government that the
case was postponed until September. He
therefore demanded from the grand jury
that they should call upon Mr.. Cook and
others; that they should produce their evil
dence He did not wish this newspaper

without hindrancc.
Cook Further Resists the AppIica-
ton.
Col. Cook said that whatever had APP
pearcd in the press did not emanate from
him or any one else connected with the in
vestigation. 1t is impossible that the records
of the post-officc should be laid open to
everybody. General Brady is not connected
with the post-ofiicc, and there has been no
formal accusation against him. There has
been no investigation of one single case on
the records examined as yet, and there prob
ably will not be for several weeks hence.
If the counsel for Brady want to come be-
fore this court they must do so by mandamus.
And even if the manddmus is granted, 1t may
DO found that the facts are more in the
imagination than in reality. He said that
if Brother Wilson would tell him what rec
ords he wanted to examine, he would prob
ably tell him whether he would consent or
not ~

The Grand Jury Notified OF Recess
from July 10 September.

Continuing, Col. Corkhill said that he
had informed the grand jury that they
would not be in session after the 9th of
July, and that they would not be probably
called again until the Goth of September
He felt it to be his duty at this time, first to
pay attention to the helpless citizens incar-
cerated without bail, before bringing any
great case before the grand jury. So far MS
he knew there was nothing before this court
that demanded an investigation by the
grand jury as spoken of by Col. Totten
There is nothing on the records of this court
that demands such action rs Col. Totten
seeks.
The Case Not am Ordinary One.
Mr.. jeremiah Wilson said that if this
were an ordinary case, he would not
demand the action pressed by his
colleague, Col. lotion. But it is
not an ordinary case. 1t is notorious that
Gen. Brady was removed from high office
some months ago because it was supposed
he had had connection with alleged postal
frauds. And it has been given out day by
day to the press from the post-oflice rec
ords that star-route frauds to an enormous
extent had been committed. There are
men, one of them one of our ablest lawyers,
who have been engaged for months in
working up cases against the alleged perpc-
traitors of these frauds.
The Sharpest Criminal Lawyer Of the
District
has been sitting in council with the authori-
ties in preparing these cases. 1t Is idle to
say that there is no accusation against Gen.
Brady in this court. All the circumstances
show that he is entitled to immediate ex-

thin, vibratory and resonant. 1t is
sometimes nasal-always so when he
sings, and he is about the most persist

-absolutely wretched Yet, when
speaking, the twang is not noticeable.
for he lifts it well, and the sound
comes strongly out Of his throat and

a wonderful organ. He breaches two

Barnes is going 20 sing in the celestial
choir with the same-rasaf twang he
imparts here, then all of us who have
encouraged fine art have right to feel
disappointed at the poor progress mu-
SIC has made in heaven. Still, in
speaking it is fine voice. That he is
not trained in its use is evident in the
swelling of the muscles and veins Of

Some Hens Lack.


Gen. Gordon was severely wound
ed four times in one battle and within
an hour, and lived to fight again ;and
this is only a specimen Of the singular
good luck that attended some men.
In 1854 Michigan cavalryman
named Drake was out foraging in the
Shenandoah valley in company with a
comrade named Cooper. Cooper was
in a smoke-house after moat and
Drake was on guard at the door when
thirteen Confederates suddenly APP
peared. They we're mounted, and adj
Yanced at gallOp, part of them fir
ing as they rode up. One bullet
found suitable opening in the stone
wall Of the smoke-house, and few in
and killed Cooper dead in his tracks.
Drake was standing beside his horse,
and his saddle was hit by three bull
lets, one of which glanced through his
hat.
As soor as the trooper could realize
what had happened he swung himself
into saddle and dashed at the circle
around him. The moment he hap
pened IN view he was target for car
bine and pistol. His horse made a
rush at the line but was driven back.
Followed by Cooper's horse he gallop-
ed around and across a circle not over
100 feet across, all the time under a
steady fire by the Confederates. This
fire was soon returned by Drake, who
fred away seven cartridges and then
drew his sabre His seven bullets, as
vouchedz for, killed two
men, wounded two more, and Killed
one horse. His fire broke the circle,
and he got out of it, but for thirty
rods, as he made off, he was exposed
to the fire of nine or ten men. Coop
er's horse was killed in the circle,
while brakes was hit no less thar
zine times and yet not disabled. As
5or the rider, his comrades, on his re-
urn to camp, counted up record of
! truly miraculous escape. Three
bullets struck his scabbard, two his
rat, four went through his clothing, |
me burned his cheek, one raked his
nee, and two hat his left boot. While
me single bullet kil1c,l the one trooper ,
iile orner had sixteen fred point blank
/ him and yet did not lose a drop of
hood, COopor's horse was killed by
ne bullet. whiic nine failed to disable
