CAPITAL NOTES.
THE STAR RoUTFRs,


Washington, November The star
route counsel are now scheming 10 have
Judge Wylie assigned to duty which will |
prevent his presiding at the second trial
of the conspirators in December. They
hope to accomplish their purpose through
Chief Justice Carter, who controls the
assignment Of the members Of the dis
trict supreme bench. The ground of
complaint is that on the last trial Judge
Wylie demonstrated his partiality for
the government and that
he is now .still less
fitted to preside impartially. The fear
of Judge Wyle's nerve and indepen-
dence is at the bottom of the movement.
His nerve is not only unquestioned but
was proved as long ago as when he
granted habeas corpus in the Surratt
case in the face of public indignation
and abuse. He has lived to receive gen.
eral commendation for that act. Ample
pecuniary means and sta
bihty OF character place
him above necessity. as he il
above the desire of bringing to the favor
of the rich or powerful. and the censpir-
ators and their attorneys have gone
about deposing him. With singular proud
ness Chief Justice Carter has, for years.
been ambitious for aplace on the United
States supreme bench. He 10 also suscep-
tlble to adroit Aattery. and both ofthese
weaknesses have been humored. Inger-
soil and his associates have employed in
nuendo, and his administration favors .
coddled chief justice, with such skill.
that they really hope for success. It is
in the power of the chief justice to make
new assignments at any time. so if Judge
Wylie was sent to some other court, the
act in itself would not violate prece-
dent or propriety for all that he has al
ready been assigned to the criminal
term. Judge McCarther is supposed to
be the choice OF the conspirators for the
coming trial
INSPECTOR POLLOCK.
1t is now considered quite certain that
Indian Inspector Pollock's suspension
will be made dismissal since the publ.
cation of his letter to Secretary Teller.
the latter having intimated he would
take that course if Pollock resorted to
newspapers.
