WASHINGTON, September Attorney
General Brewster to-day concluded his ar.
gument for the prosecution in the star
route trials, and the case is practically
closed, The Judge will probably deliver
his charge tomorrow, and the case mpy 20
to the jury the same day, Brewster lrgu-
ment was listened to with the same close
attention rs was given to lugersoll, al his
audience was so large that the Judge "as
obliged to give orders to admit no lG0re
| spectators TO the courtroom. The Cloclug
part OF the argument was well worth
recording, but Mt its conclusion an incident
occurred which was unexpected, ey-
cept TO the immediate actors
/ in it, and which dwarted everything
else that has occurred during the
| trial, The judge had announced
| that recess would be taken, that the pray.
ers of the counsel for the instructions to the
| jury should be argued before the court
alone, and that the jury could be excused un-
til tomorrow. Then ensued the scene OF
the day, and one which has few, if any,
parallels in the judicial history of the
country. The jurors were again on their
feet and about to leave the box, and many
OF the audience were preparing to leave the
courtroom, when Judge Wylie stated that
he wished TO devote moment IO another
matter The significant tone in which he
said this warned the spectators that some
thing important was to follow, and instant
ly there was Il dead silence. Several of
the members of this jury continued his
honor, calmly, have come to me
with information that they have
been approached with proposition
most maniiestly ola corrupt kind. The
first information had of this kind was
several weeks ago. Several more (interupt-
ing himself | cannot cal them intimations.
they are square and direct information,
were given To me privately for the purpose.
OF what they the jurors, should do, my ad-
vice was TO say nothing about it. The
court did not want to interrupt the prog
reSs of the argument Of the case by any
such side questions as this, but | advised
them to be careful this thing has grown"
becoming more and more eloquent as he
proCeeded). ."Within thelast twenty-iour
hours it seems that these wolves which
have been around this jury have become
iierCer and more determined | felt so
muChindignationt that was almost ready to
advise the jurymen to shoot the man on
the spot. That is the way felt about il,
but gave no such opinion but villainy OF
this kind, sCoundrelism Oithis degree, de-
serves no mercy. | do not say in what in
terest these suggestions have been made;
do not want to convey any information
on that subject; but do want to advise this
jury to repel with scorn and indignation
any base attempt of this character on their
virtue and integrity. The insult is of the
last intensity, and do hope that
when we get through this trial fairly, you
may have information enough TO enable
the court to lay its hands on the men of
this kind-those men who have approached
YOU in this way. | have called your atten-
tion to this subject with another view-to
give warming to men of this kind as to
what they are about and that the officers of
the law will do their duty; ifit is possible
to ferret ont these scOundrelS, ii shall bo
done. Give them no quarter spurn them
with the end of your toes, No baser YER
min infest the earth than men engaged in
this kind of business, and the insult
to you is that they suppose you
are just rs base, Just rs low as
they are themselves. No man should
allow whisper OF this Kind to he made to
him without spurning it with the utmost
SCOrn and contempt, If he goes no further
| do not advise violence az any time. OF
course | do not, but next to an insult that
is given to Il mans wife is an insult of this
kind to juror whose honor should be as
sacred and as carefully guarded as he
would guard the honor of his wife, uay-
ing said this much collatterly at this point,
We can now take recess" Judge Wilie's
remarks, which were delivered
with great earnestncss and in
an indignant tone showed that he
meant every word he said, with perhaps his
dcprecatiOn of violence. This created n
profound sensation, and the foreman of the
jury, Mr., William Dickson, who is prob
ably one OF the jurors approached rose
and said that after the disposition of this
case he would lay the whole matter before
his honor. Then llonkle, counsel for Minor
and Vaile, rose and on behalf of himself
and of his clients, demanded an inyestiga.
tion of the charge that had been made.
