Court to-day Patrick Walsh was found gull
ty of the murder of Martin Lyden in April,

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
FURTHER PLEAS FOR THE CON.
SPIRATORS.
Counsellor McSweeneV RidfeulIng
she Prosecution.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Mr. Totten, oi
counsel for the defense In the star route
cases, resumed his argument this morning
de maintained that the prosecution must be
confined to the allegation of the Indictment.
What he complained of was that they had
insisted upon the examination of facts en-
tirely outside the indictment. He then pro.
ceeded to review the circumstances attend
ing the expedition of the star
service on various routes and to
justify the orders issued by
Brady, including in his review an ANALYSIS
OF these routes. Mr.. Totten declared that
there was no evidence whatever of a con-
spiracy between the defendants. He then
reviewed at great length the testimony of
John A. Walsh, which he declared was un-
worthy Of belief, and closed with an eIo-
quent peroration, in which he insisted that
upon the evidence the jury must find a YER
dc which would bring joy to the hearts Of
the defendants instead of filing them with
weeping and lamentation.
After the recess Mr.. MeSweeney, of coun-
sci for the defense, addressed the jury. He
said he was not an orator like the Phila-
delphia Brutus. He was a plain. blunt
man, not skilled in wit or word to raise
the stones Of Rome or steal from
men their judgment. There had
been much flDpancy on the part of the
prosecution. Ker said, "Don't this look
suspicious?" and "WhY don't they prove
their innocence?" On account of this
loose, disconnected, careless, unyarnished
style OF arguing this case he proposed some.
what elaoorately to state to the iury the
difference between criminal and civil trials
de laid down and explained carefully
the proposition that in criminal trial the
presumption of innocence could only be
overcome by positive proof. That Legal
axiom accompanied an accused man
down into the dark VALLEY
OF the shadow OF trial. The
guilt of the accused must be fully
proved. A preponderance OF evidence wal
not sufficient, unless it were such as TO ex-
clude any reasonable doubt of guilt II
was an old axiom that 1t is better thai
ninety-nine guilty men escape than that ar
innocent man suffer. After referring
In humorous way to the statement
OF Mr. Ker, that the place fol
the defendants counsel would be on theiI
knees at the White House asking pardon
for their clients, Mr.. McSweeney took ur
Mr.. Bliss opening address, which he com
pared with that of Sergeant Buztuz, and
proceeded to show where he thought the
evidence had not redeemed the pledges ther
made.
at 3:O5 the court adjourned, Mr.. Nc.
Sweeney not having concluded.
