Star Route Trials.

WASHINGTON, d. C, August 81. :
In the Criminal Court this morning
Mr.. Henkle, of the counsel for de-
tense, began his argument Before
addressing the jury he called the
attention of the court to the scheme
of the indictment. The government
had conceded that the branch of
conspiracy which in the indictment
had besa attributed to Turner was
not sustained by the proof, and he
argued that Turner and Tuners
performances were necessary parts
of the scheme of indictment, and
that il the case had failed as to him
it had failed as to all. This view of
the case Mr. Henkle presented
at great length and with numerous
Citations of authorities. q
Mr. Henkle then proceeded to crit
icise the practice OF the prosecution
! in vlllifying the defendants, insisting
that brave men ought never to pur-
sue such course. The only solution
for this method Of proceedings on
the part of the prosecution, was that
they had not made out their case.
They displayed their anger because
they saw that their victims We're
escaping them.
MIR. Henkie then adressed him
self to stpe consideration of the
amount and the kind of testimony
which, in a criminal case, can Justify
a verdict of guilty. The presump-
| tion of innocence was a strong one,
| and not only must it be overcome,
but the evidence relied upon must be
so strong as to eleminate from the
minds of the jury any trace OF rea-
sonab doubt He expressed the
opinion that the government had
hopelessly, fatally, finally failed to
produce any such evidence. 2 nde
ing the conclusion of Mr.. Hepkie's
argument court adjourned. .r
WASHING ron, D. O., September =
Mr.. Henkle, of the counsel for the
defense IN the Star Route cases,
resumed his argument to-day. Ii
was mainly devoted t. a detailed
review and discussion of the evl-
dence relied upon by the prosecu~
ton to sustain the charge If
conspiracy The conclusion to which
he came was that the testimony pre-
sented by the government abs futely
demonstrated that there was no
conspiracy.
Pending the conclusion of his
argument, the court adjourned until
Monday.

Railroad News.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA, September l.
john w. Grayson, stakeholder of
the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road, filed bill late yesterday even~
ing IN the Chancery Court in which
he asks to have the lease held by the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor>
gia Railroad annulled, and desires
the court to have statement of aca
count made between the two roads,
and that all the net earnings since
the lease was made be turned over
to the Memphis and Charleston
stockholders, because he claims that
the lease has been illegal. He also
prays that a receiver be appointed
to take charge of the Memphis and
Charleston road and operate it for
the benefit of the stockholders, and
further asks that the directors be re
strained from paying 100000 or
any sum for abrogation of the
lease, and that the directors be en-
joined from issuing the $5,00O,000 ia
new stock which they were instructed
to do at the late meeting of the stocks
holders. At that meeting MIR. Gray,
son was present, and submitted a
written protest against the payment
of any bonds to the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad for
the lease held by them.

A Jackass That Wouldn't Scare,

A vagrant ass stood beside the
track of the Sunset Railway at the
depot few morning ago. An en-
CINE moved slowly up; it stopped
within few feet of the ass; the en-
gineer blew one of those terrible
screams, prolonged and ear-piercing
such blast as makes the sleeping
Millerits dream of the day of judg-
ment. Did the ass scare Not
worth a cent. Did he shake the
sloth from his limbs, erect his tail,
and speed away ke the asses of
Bassorah, faster titan the Bedouin
coursers run back to the chapparal ?
No, he didn't. He turned one ear
toward the engine, just as deaf
man uses his ear trumpet, and caught
every particle of the sound And
when the steam blown whistle ceased
It's notes and all the echoes died
away, the animal Strengthened out
his neck, and in voice that deaf
eDed all the railroad men and caused
the freight clerk to drop his pen,
roared: Il can't! / can't 1 can't
l can't be beat be beat! be beat !!
[ Ca MT be-be be beat !"

poisoning business public long since,
but | had detectives after the murI

and put poison in my water glass,

The Utah Commissioners.

SALT LAKE, September 1.-Tl e
Utah commissioners have made ap.
. pointments of twenty>four registers
for twenty>four counties, under the
Edmunds law. These appointments
consist OF seven gentiles, nine
apostate Mormons and eight Nor
mons. Judge Hoge, Democrat and
strong antI-Mormon, received the
appointment for Salt Lake County.
These registers have the appointing
OF assistants for every precinct, sub
Iect to the approval of the commits
sion. There is great dissatisfaction
among the gentiles over the com
position of the registers, and they
cannot see how the commission can
reform the Territory and perform
the duty for which they were sent
here, by placing Mormons IN the re
sponsible positions of registers, the
duty of 5he rsgisters beng to ex
clude polygamists from the registra-
ton lists.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA, September l.
The trial of Dick Little began at II
a. m, yesterday before Commission
ers Bone and Mccullough. The first
witness called was Mrs. Jesse James,
who was examine q at length 1t was
developed in the first part OF her
testimony that Frsnk and Jesse
James were with their families in
Nashville from November, 1880,
until the latter part of March, 1881.
Her statements were not at all
damaging to the prisoner as the per-
petrator of the Muscle Shoals rob
berry. Mrs James exploded the story
that has been goiog2 the rounds OF
the press about her returning the
watch to MIR Davey in Philadelphia.
She Indignantly denied doing so,
and claimed that Little stole the
watch and returned it in her name.
Mr.. Alex. G Smith, the lnan who
was robbed, was next examined, and
gave his story of the robbery. He
did not recognize Little as one of the
men who eomaitted the robbery.
Other witnesses were exam
ined, but nothing important was
brought out. Six other witnesses
are to be examined. IAEAG~

The New York Herald comes to
US with an editorial on our "pizened'
Congress. Houk's story about the
poisoning is giving him good deal
of notoriety if nothing more. 1t
says ''Houk has explained to his
constituents, however, under a sol-
emn oath, that if he was In the Gala
boose he has no recollection of it,
but that some one poisoned mm, SO
that he was unconscious for ten
hours, and while III that condition
his poisoners may have put him in
the calaboose. The Herald adds
further:
If this is the way in which Ten
nessee, a State IN the main Demo
cratic, treats such of its stalWart
Republicans as are in office III Wash
ington, the constituents of the
threatened patriots should care
enough for the safety of their leads
ers to keep them at home.

d WASHINGTON and New York papers
say Houk is IN Washington trying to
get money to run his canvass with.
Our information is that he has been
told they have no money to give him
to use against a better Republican
than he Is. He has already bought
up all that are for sale. He has
bulhed and bulldozed all that
can be bossed. He has promised
office, pensions, claims, money,
anything his promises
are worthless, and there is nothing
left for poor pizened Houk to do,
but to get on another big drunk and
reconcile himself he best he can to
a certain defeat, which is coming as
sure as the frost.
