Star Route.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-In the star route
trial this morning Wilson resumed his argu-
ment for the defense. Mr.. Wilson said that
the prosecution had earnestly, persistently
and against the admonition and protest
of the court endeavored to in
duce tie jury to defy the statutes of
the United States. If the offense charged was
ever committed there was time when it was
committed and the testimony should be such
as to enaqle the jury to know when the ofense
was committed, otherwise the statute of lin
itation was a dead letter and its benefits
never could accrue to the occupied
party. 1t would not do to say that every
time an act was done it was a renewal of the
original agreement.
The court inquired whether Wilson dated
the running of the statute from the forma-
tion OF the conspiracy.
Wilson replied he did.
The Cortland that though the conspiracy
may continue after that, the statute runs from
the inception of the conspiracy.
Wilson-The ofIense is the agreeing of the
parties together.
Wilson inquired whether it had been proven
when the accused conspired. Merrick had told
the jury that the defendants had coNe together
in the fall of 1877. If that were true according
to his theory of the law Merrick had given
his case utterly away. Mr.. Wilson went on
to argue that it was impossible for the second
assistant postmaster general BRADY to ex-
anime critically every petition that was filed
in his office, to hold up each pa
per to the light to see if there
was an erasure and to determine whether any
name was forgery. 1t was said contractors
had gotten up these petitions. They had a
right to do SO, but there was no evidence to
show Brady fever knew of 'any such action
on their part Court adjourned before Will
son concluded his address.
