THE sTAR-RouTE TRIAL.
Con cIusion OF the Arguments ns 20 the
Admission or wnIah's Teatimony.

In the stor-route trial yesterday Mr.. 1ngorsoll
opened the argument for the defense on the quos-
u)n Of admitting John A. Walsh's testimony. Mr.
1ngersoll argued at great length, quoting many
authorities in support OF his position, that the de.
claration of q co-conspirator cannot be given in
evidence against his co-defendans until the con-
spiracy has been established; that mans con.
iession is not admissible as against himself until
the conspiracy has been otherwise established ana
that declaration not accompanying an act done
for The purpose OF the conspiracy Is only confess
sion, and Cor that reason cannot be admitted Ad.
miting even, for the sake of argument, that testi
mony had been adduced to prove the existence OF
a conspiracy, he claimed that Brady's declaration
was not made in iurtherance Of the conspiracy or
accompanied any net relating TO II.
MR. wIIsoE THEN SPOKE,
saying that the government had conceded that the
testimony was not competent against any delend-
ant except Brady, and the question at issue was
whether 1t was competent against him. " was
idle TO say that the testimony could be used only
against Brady, for unless II showed that he was
corrupted by his co-defendants 1t was worthless
testimony. He maintained that It was not part
of the res gesd of the case aud had no connection
with 1t. Mr.. Henkle followed Mr. Wilson. He
said he understood Judge Wylie to have said that
Wyiie disciaimed this, md said it was as
sulned to save time aud labor. The ques-
ton was not to be taken from the jury.
He claimed that the evidence was incompetent 10
prove the conspiracy, and could only be compe.
tent to prove the overt act. Clearly II was not
competent for that for II was not pretended that
The confession conformcd t. any one of the aver
mcnts as they were specifically laid in the ndict-
ment While Mr.. Henkle was talking the Attor-
ney- General and his brother. in law Mr.. Duncan
S. Walker entered the room and took seats at the
government C unsel's table MIR. Merrick then
commenced the
CLOSING ARGUMENT FOR THE PROSECUTION.
He claimed that sufficient evidence had been
introduced to prove the existence of conspiracy;
the conspiracy being established the confession of
parry is evidence against himself. Mr.. Merrick
- ent into the principles OF what constitutes a
conspiracy. Judge Wylie inte rrupted The speaker
to say that The same rules of evidence that applied
at the beginning of the case applied now, the
question was whether mans confession Will
bring him into conspiracy with Others, ques-
ton, said Judge Wylie, not depending upon the
existence of conspiracy. Mr.. Merrick then
resumed his argument. At his conclusion, Mr..
Chandler read a number of authorities to show
th"t they were capable of different interprett-
ton to what MIR Merrick had put on them. The
court then adjourned.

to Cannoneer Sutton, July 4when the District of

The facts stated those substantially heretofore

yesterday sent the report to the District Commis
sioners with the following Endorsement:
The within communication and Its Enclosures
are respectfully submitted to the honorable Com
missioners of the District of Columbia for their
information and consideration. 1t appears that
under cover of the permit issued to ]. X. Hahne-
man salute was fired OH the 4th instant, which
resulted In the serious and permanent injury to a
gallant member of the artillery school. l would
suggest that the honorable Commits ssioners refrain
from issuing permits of like character, and that
hereafter all orders for firing salutes emanate
from headquarters. 1t will also be observed
that at the instance of ]. II. Hahneman,
the permit was issued for an entertain

purpose of a grand artillery salute and soiree,"
the proceeds of which were TO be used for relig

known. This being the second occurrence of a

seriously wounded by the premature discharge Of

sponging be resorted to- This method has been
in operation for many years in the French service,
and is pronounced by artillerists to be complete
protection against premature discharge and II
adopted by the artillery school will remove all
fear of such casualties in future.
