THE STAR ROUTE CASES IN COURT.
Regular proceeding in the case of the
United States VS.. Brady, Dorsey, Turner
and others began in the criminal court
to-day. General Brady and Turner were
the only defendants present at the open
ing of court The proceedings were be-
gun with motion to quash, by Col.
Totten, in Turner'S case. He said the
grounds were substantially the same as
those already disposed of in other cases,
and asked to have the plea of not guilty
withdrown and have his motion enter
tanned. Col. Totten also presented sew
eral other motions, and proceeded to
explain the new points they involve.
One motion charges that Turner, who
was an officer of the United States, is
connected in some indictments with 9th
ers who were not United States officers,
and several acts charged are punishable
in different degrees in several conflicting
statutes, but Judge Wylie said he could
not see why public officer could not
conspire with citizen to defraud the
government. After further argument
the Judge denied the motion. The de-
Tense noted an exception. Counsel for
defence then filed number of motions
and pleas which the Court overrlled in
bulk and Col. Totten asked to have
the exception noted. The Court stated
that there was no such thing as noting
exceptions in criminal cases in the Dis
trict, they could be recorded with other
proceedings Off the Court. Merrick stated
that Judge Dorsey had not been ar
rested.

Dorsey. Ingersoll sprang to his feet in
a rage, and, bringing his list violently
down upon the table, exclaimed to

neys in very strong language, and the
