WHAT THE PROSECUTING LAWYERS SAY.
The star route trial, under what Is known as the
Dorsey indictment, is set for Tomorrow. District

that he knew OF nothing In the way of proceeding
with the trial The case had been set peremptorily
and no other assignment had been allowed to In
terere with it. 81 understand" he ad led, laugh
Ing. that both sides have been eating raw meat
for two days and are now hungry for blood"
"Jumbo left town last night" SAID Mr.. Davidge,
who was sitting In the district attorneys Office n
order to make room for the star route trial.
Mr.. Merrck said he expected to 60 ahead to-
morrow, and believed the trial would last fully
two months. There is some question as to how to
dispose OF the jury during the trial As 1t Is gen.
orally held that the charge against the accused
constitutes only miSdemeanOr, the propriety OF
having the jury isolated or confined during the
trial Is questioned.
Mr.. Totten, one OF Gen. Brady's counsel said to
STAR reporter that he knew Of nothing in the
way or proceeding Tomorrow. 1t depended on
the court and counsel for the government He did
not think the trial would last over month.
