THE prosecution of the Star-route
cases was formally begun on the 3lst, by the
fling of information in the Supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia against Thomas
j. Brady, John i. French, VIM. II. Turner,
George l.. McDOnough and Samuel Z.
Brown for conspiracy to defraud the United
States. Counsel for the Government took
this somewhat unusual mode OF procedure,
instead OF the ordinary one OF presenting the
cases to the Grand Jury, for the
reason that one at least OF the counts
upon which they expect to convict
would have been barred by the statute o.
Limitation had the cases gone over until the
Sd, the date to which the Grand Jury stood
adjourned. Another, and equally poten
reason, il is intimated, was the apprehen
sion that some Of the members OF the Crane
jury might be so strongly in sympathy witt
the accused as to render their action uncer
tain: In fact, it is asserted that some Of III
accused have openly boasted of having 20
"a corner" on the Grand jury. Thes
proceedings will be followed up b
