The Star Route Disclosures.

The Star Route Disclosures.
WASHINGTON, October 18th. = The dis.
closures Of the last few days have made
some things in the star route matters
clear. While there has been shown
much bad management on the part of
the prosecution, it is also shown that the At
torney. General is very much in earnest, and,
if the President does not interfere, the star
route cases will be prosecuted to successful
termination, provided an honest Jury can be
found In the district. That such Is the de-
termination of the persons now in charge is
very evident. Astonished that they so mar
rowly escaped conviction, the defense fear
the results of another trial. Brady is max.
ing such disposition of his property that he

Dorsey has retired to his ranch. almost blind
and quite q broken man. In view Of these
facts, the purposes of the defendants in their
latest movements can be easily understood.
The defendants especially fear the Attorney
General, special counsel Merrick and Judge
Wylie. They are seeking the removal of
Brewster, knowing that if successful Mer.
rick would follow. They have announced
their purpose to endeavor to make 1t impos-
sible for Judge Wylie to preside at the Sec
oni trial. Defendants counsel are con.
stantly busy in attempts to secure these re-
suits, and they are not without important po-
liticaI itfuencs There is little reason to
doubt that the recsnt public alton by defend
ants have had, in part, the purpose OF bring
ing the Department OF Justice into Disgrace
By exposing the fact, which cannot be de.
MED, that the rascals were employed in the
Government service, and the Department OF
Justice, too, to great extent, was made
detective bureau, where the low ats of the
spy were practiced.
