Washington Matters.

"AshiNGroN, August II In the criminal
court to-day Mr.. Williams, of counsel for
defense in the star-route case, continued
argument for that side. He said the govern
inent had not shown one scintilla of eyi-
aence tending to establish the charge in the
lhuiStment petitions for the expedition had
not been proved fraudulent. The charge that
ialse aihdavlts were made concerning stock
required had not been sustained. and no
evidence had been furnished with regard to
the time, terms or nature of alleged con-
spracy as to the confession
OF Rerdem. 1t was contrndirted
py Van and by record testimony in
the case, There were abundant facts to
snow that his statement was untrue. The
story OF Walsh, eyenif true, did not effect
defendants in any point or particular, nor
ana 1t tend to show Brady wasin any way
concerned in the conspiracy as to the nine
teen routes embraced in the indictment.
Furthermore, Walsh was corrupt
schemer, perlnrer and attempted black
mailer. MIR. Williams closed by expressing
hrin conviction that defendants

OF honor and respect. Mr.. Williams was
followed by Mr.. Gatten, counsel for Brady
& turner, who endeavored TO impress upon
the jury the necessity of rendering YER
dict IN accordance with the evidence bear
ING upon specific crime charged in the in.
ulctment. lie went over nearly the same
ground covered by the previous speakers
on the same side to show that the charge of
conspiracy had been proved. Before the
conclusion OF his argument the court ad-
journed.
Acting Secretary of the Treasury French
to-day received telegram from the GOV.
emor OF Texas asking the government TO
take charge OF the hospital and yellow fever
patients at Brownsville. He replied by tele-
gram that Surgeon Murray, Of the marine

dered to proceed at once to Brownsville via
