WAsHINGToN, Aug. 2S.-In the star route
trial Mr.. McSweeny criticised the evidence for
the prosecution in a sarcastic manner, and
concluded as follows: "And now he launched
the little bark of his client, man with noble
soul, the language of truth, the hand of
charity. At the age of nineteen he had gone
ragged and bare footed into the ranks of his
country, ,and at twenty-one he had been breveted
for bravery in the field. Did the jury think
that man, wounded from head to foot in the
service of his country, was thief, who would
rob the treasury of that country whose founda-
tions he had helped to cement with his blood?
He had risen up until he had proved worthy of
enmity, up until envy and jealousy had made
their stab at him. Dorsey had found the lines
of the poet to be true
He who sscends to mountain tops shall find
The loftiest summit crowned with ice and
snow,
And who surpasses and subdues mankind,
Must look down upon the hate of those be-
low.
He had been stabbed in the house of
his friends. Scarcely, had the
shoes grown old that stamped
their loud approval of Senator Dorsey when
this roar Of calumny burst out against him.
He was the peer in honesty and Integrity of
any man with whom he had associated in the
broad halls of his country's legislature, and
now, concluded Mr.. McSweeny, ! cast his
little bark, freighted with all he loves on
the waves OF his testimony,
guided by jurors oath. know that
it will reach shore and be forever anchor
BY your verdict he will look on this prosecu.
tion as on black cloud that has passed away.
believe that the dropping flower that hangs
by his side will. when your inspiring verdict
OF mot guilty." comes in turn her face to
heaven again, and that she too will thank
the cloud when it has passed
away. The shadows of evening gather
my farewell word with them, so many thanks
to you for your kind attention. I have done,
completely done. [Applause
The court adjourned until tomorrow,
when Mr.. Merrick will begin his argument
for ths prosecution.
