THE STAR ROUTE CASES.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Mr.s Williams,
one of the counsel for the defense In the star
route trials, and especially representing Brady,
addressed the jury this morning. His speech
was for the most part a protest against the
adoption or the unjust practice which he
claimed had controlled the prosecution
throughout the whole case. He was followed
by Totten, counsel for Brady and Turner.
Mr.. Totten called attention TO the fact there
was not one order In proof which had been
made by Brady. Every order presented was
memorandum, not signed by j. Brady, but
simply signed Brady. There was not word
of evidence to show that Brady had certified
an order to the sixth auditor. Was man to
be guessed into prison or presumed into jailg
Charges had been made against Turner.
How, in the name of decency, had Turner
been dragged into the trial? What had he
done? Even Kerr had been bound to admit he
could say naught against him. 1t was one
OF the greatest outrages ever perpetrated on
an innocent man. Some other motive than
vindication of law was at the bottom of this
extraordinary proceeding, this extraordinary
grouping together of men from all parts of
the land. He was ready to make wager that
this Identical kind OF prosecution could be
carried on against any public officer who was
charged with disbursement of money. II
could be commented upon with just as much
venom as this case had been commented upon.
Before the conclusion of Totten's remarks the
court adjourned.
