THE STAR ROUTE CASES RESUMED.
Washington, April 1.-The hearing of
the star route cases was resumed in the
criminal court this morning, the question
under consideration being the special
plea in abatement made yesterday by the
defence, in which it is claimed the grand
jury was unduly influenced by the state
ments Of postoffics inspectors who were
illegally allowed to present evidence and
pamphlets to the jury. Totten read the
plea which includes the affidavit sworn
to BY W. II. Turner, one Of the defen-
dants, charging that undue influence had
been exercised by post Office inspectors,
Woodward and Tidball, over the grand
jury. The afiant also charges that these
inspectors were not regularly subpoenaed
to appear before the jury, and had made
charges and inuendoes outside of their
own knowledge, which were greatly to
the injury of the defendant; also. charged
that Woodward had made overtures te
Turner to assist him in making . cass
against the other defendants, and upo1
his refusal had threatened to cause hi
discharge, and he CTurne) believed hac
caused him to be discharged from his po
sition in the postofice department.
Thecourt decided that the finding o,
the grand Jury must stand. 1t wal
only charge, not conviction. The cour
had always the right to exclude improper
matter presented to the jury. The de
fenss had already been given every
chance to investigate the subject Q
