high-toned and officious general agent
or what not of the Department, caused
these improper approaches to be made.
Cameron's reply is in the nature of a
general denial. He will assert that IL
hese special agents did these things,
they did them on their own RESPONSE
bility, and that he was In favor of i'm
maculate justice and of leaving the
matter wholly to the jury on the evil
dence. Then it becomes a question Of
fact between the highly officious Brew
ster Cameron and the remarkable in
dividuals whom the Department OF
Justice employed as its special detec-
tives.. Dickson's statement that he
was offered $25, 900 by Bowen to vote
for conviction is now believed in Wash
ington to be true.
Taking the Governments statement
at its best, it is an admission that its
own agents may have tried to bride
the jury, although not authorized SO to
do by the Department. AS yet moth
ing definite can be learned of any at
tempt to bride the jury or any member
of it to vote for acquittal, though off1c-
ers in the Department, it is said, look
wise as owls when they are asked if they
have any evidence Of the kind.

The Department of Justice at Wash
inston and the notorious Star Route
defendants are to meet this week in
battle over the alleged attempt to bride
the jury. A bold and dangerous game
ia plainly about to be played with the
Government at an apparent disadvan-
tage. Affidavits that have come under
Col. Bob Ingersoll's eye were given to
the press Sunday evening. These make
the charge under oath that three agents
Of the Department approached men,
bers of the jury and offered brides for
conviction. These men, Fall, Nelson
and Tailor, 90 implicated, were really
agents of the Department, and 1t il un-
derstood that one of them will make
affidavit that the charge was true. 1t
is believed that these three will be ar
rested, and that an attempt will be
made to secure the indictment of Fore
man Dickson for his conduct in the
Jury room. Tailor and Nelson were
employed by the Government. They
were charged with the duty Of watch
ing Judge, jury and everybody else
who were in any way connected with
the trial. The Department seems to
have acted on the idea that 1t was
necessary to employ men Of no great
reputation to undertake this work; but
the Department claims that whatever
these men did beyond watching the
jury. they did it without authority,
and that IL they approached anybody
Improperly they will be punished,
whether they made their propositions
in the interest of the Government or
the defendants. &
1t is believed by the Department
that Fall, one of its agents, is angered
at his discharge, and that he may, by
way Of revenge, give supporting at
fidavit to the charge Of Dickson and
the defendants that improper propos-
ais were made on the part Of the Gov
eminent. The tenor Of the affidavits
is to show that Brewster Cameron, the
