IL was not long till the Star Route ring
aaeertained that President Arthur could
dot be deceived into giving them any
countenance, and this seemed to Dc
their lsst hope. One OF the highest
officials of the Post Office department
informed the Western Associated fress
AGENT to-day that in the past tnlrty.si1
heurs several persons connected with
the ring had surrendered and turned
states evidence. This Official said he
was not at liberty rs yet to give the
names of these persons, IS their tesu,
mouy will be before the Grand
jury, but 1t is pretty wei! III
ders,ooa that Walsh, formerly of New
Oalesns, who brought, Q lev months
ago, several suits against Brady for the
recovery of money, is one OF them
Walsh has been in the Star route pnsi-
ness long time and knows the history
of the ring from it's inception. He sued
Brady TO recover money he let Brady
have and which the latter never paid.
Il was pretty we'll understood that
Walsh and Brady fell ont about
the amount the former was to pay Tor
certain contract privileges. The post
Office official referred to said the men
who had gone back on the ring con-
cluded that there was no other way 10
save themselves, that the government
had alrerdy proof enough to convict and

the conspiracy, and some OF the accused
parties jump the country tney
will probably be IN a tgnt
place before long. The action q
President Arthur in removing Star, the
postmaster at Deadwood, was q revela,
ton TO the star ronte ring They did
not know that Star had made written
confession detailing the fraudulent OPP
erstions ofthe ring in the northwest
for some months past. One Of the most
efficient inspectors OF the post office de-
partment has been secretly investigating
the management of Deadwood post
Office, and when he confronted the post
master with his proofs, the latter con,
fessed the Presidents prompt removal
of the Star indicated to the ring that
they could not expect any mercy from
him. and the result was that the imme-
diste tender OF other confessions, which
makes the chain OF evidence complete,
not only in regard to the Star
route, but as to all other matters
connected with the Post Office depart
ment. Ernst is fully ia accord with
James, and it Is said by those in posi-
ton to know that James will remain at
the head Of the department. II he does
not, then First Assistant Postmaster
General Tyner
Will Have to Go.
and that very soon. Tyner, has never
been in sympathy with James admin
istration OF the department and he has
belittled the Star Route prosecu
tons from the first and pre-.
dicted that they would end
in smoke. 1t is asserted that had not
President Garfield been shot Tyner
would long ago have been removed. 1t
is yerv certain that James will not per-
NIT him to remain in the Department
il he continues at it's head.
