WASHINGTON, Sept. est is charged by
those who have closely watched the star
route trial that there has long been exist
ed plan to disgrace Atty. Gen. Brewster,
and to drive him from the cabinet. The
following are said to have been the details
of the plan: The bribed jurymen were
| engaged in it. The disagreement and
verdict were part of deep-laid scheme
| and it is believed by the government counsel
that the verdict was Intentionally illegal.
The game did not work. Mr.. Merrick who
has won all the honors of the case, saw
| through it, and by permitting the verdict
| against Miner and Reerdell to be set aside,
prevented the record from leaving the dis
trict court, and the trials of the leading
conspirators from being delayed.
