STAR ROUTE CASES.
The Proceedings Resumed Tuesday
Dorsey and Bliss Both Present.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
At the criminal court this morning, the
star route cases were resumed. Ex-senator
Dorsey appeared; Bliss was also present.
In the case of Reidell and Boone. in which
motions to quash the indictments are pend
ing, further postponement until Saturday
was had.
Williams, of the counsel for the defence,
then filled a motion calling upon the govern
ment TO furnish bill of particulars describ-
ing all of the papers and petitions alleged to
have been forged, affidavits and other infor-
nation which the defence claims should have
been included in the indictments.
Wilson asked the court to give them few
DAYS to get ready for the argument on this
notion but Merrick. of the prosecuting coun-
sci, resisted the application, and demanded
immediate consideration of the motion, which
demand was sustained by Judge Wylie and
the court proceeded to hear the argument
thereon.
Mr.. Ingersoll interrupted to say that his
client. Stephen W. Dorsey, was in court, and
he asked to have the forfeiture of his recog-
nizance stricken from the record, which re-
quest the court finally granted after some
argument.
The first section of the motion for the bill!
Of particulars was then read and Williams
and Wilson made an argument for the de
fence to sustain their demand. The motion
is very long.
Merrick answered the arguments of the
defence, claiming that the information set
forth in the indictment was ample, and COM
prised all the particulars required by law.
Ingersoll claimed that the government
should specify which papers were forgeries,
and charged that these documents, instead of
being on file in the department, were really
in the hands of the counsel for the prosecu-
ton, where the defence could have no access
TO them.
To this Judge Wylie replied You shall
not be tried upon papers You cannot see.
Col. Ingersoll-rhat is all we want.
Merrick then called for the arraignment of
Stephen W. Dorsey, whereupon the latter
waived the reading of the indictment and
plead not guilty.

Williams-Then if you approached Walker

he have any advantage as attorney over you?
The witness responded that he simply
sought his Judicial services; he thought the
son better acquainted with the workings of
the fathers mind, and could better supple
ment information that might be impaired by
Senator Blair.
