worst features of the affair, but there is little

Desperate Tactics of the Star Route
Gang.

From the New York Herald. Dec 8.
In their desperate attempts to escape trial
the star route gang yesterday reached degree
OF impudence which is simply scandalous and
intolerable. Having failed to secure DELAY by
pleading Dorsey's alleged illness, they presented
to the court an affidavit charging the govern.
ment with endeavoring to influence public opin-
ion against them and attempting to intimidate
witnesses, jurors, and officers of the court. and
they made this contemplate libel upon the
government the pretext for complaint that a
Iair trial cannot now be had nthe District of Co.
luinOia. They then proceeded to make a most
scandalous personal attack upon Judge Wylie
by charging that he is SO biased and preiudiced
against them as to be incapable of fairly and Inn
partially trying the case.
Judge Wylie rightly denounced this proceed
Ing as IAN insult to the court, +" but he would
have been fully justified in going further by ex-
ercising his judicial authority to punish the of.
tenders for contempt of court. For such q
course he would have found an apt precedent In
the courts of this state. When Tweed was ar
raigned for criminal trial before Judge Noah
Davis in this city his lawyers moved for trial
before another judge, ostensibly on the ground
that Judge Davis was biased, but really for the
reason that he was altogether too upright and
just to suit their purposes. Judge Davis very
properly imposed heavy fine on each Of the
lawyers who had signed the offensive affidavit.
and his action was sustained by the court of ap-
peais and popular sentiment. The analogous
Insult to Judge Wylie might well have been dealt
with In the same summary manner
Having resorted In vain to these outrageous
tactics the next move of the defense was to Sc
cure aseparate trial for Brady, and they have stil
at least another obstructive motion In reserve
fof to-day These men have become desperate
II Their attempts to prevent q fair and lust trial
for their msdeeds, but fortunately for the public
they have found a formidable bar 70 their sue

upriQhtueas Of Judge Wylio.

More Testimony i'm the Case-Miss Sturla
Again I'm Court.

In Chicago, In the Sturla murder trial yester-
day, about the usual number of ladies put I'm an
appearance. The defendant took her accustomed
seat and preserved her familiar pose, with veil
drawn over her face and handkerchief at her
lips She appeared composed, but her face wore
Q jaded and wearied expression. Coroner Macon
was the first witness, and testified as to inquest
he held upon the body of Charles Stiles In July
last. He said the defendant was present at the
inquest She was perfectly calm. Otto Ernst,
q saloon keeper I'm Lake View, took the stand,
and said that on Sunday, July 9Th woman and
young man came into his saloon about 10 %. IN.
and called for two glasses OF beer She called
for two more glasses, and said the gentleman
had left her out in the country. and she wanted
to know how soon she could get the car which
would take her to the Palmer House. Her con-
duct was pleasant, and she did not seem excited
She said they had had a little quarrel on the way
out. On cross-eXamination, the witness said it
was raining hard that night, and the woman was
very wet. Dr. james s. Jewell, the next wit
ness, said he had made q special study Of dis
eases OF the nervous system and the mind. He
had read the hypothetical case touching sanity
Of defendant. He thought she was, In legal
sense, sane and responsible before the law when
she shot Charles Stiles. DR.. Reeves jackson
testified that, In his opinion, based on facts @
stated in the hypothetical question, defendant
was sane when she fired the fatal shot, both
medically and legally.
