THE STAR THIEVES.
A Clever Maneuver ON the Part OF the
observation-disclosures Continued.

WASHINGTON, January 20-The principal
cause of delay in the siraw-bond Star-route
cases thus far has arisen from the defense in
sisting upon the identification of every bid
and contract introduced as evidence. The
prosecution, by a clever maneuver, had all
these papers examined and identified pri-
vately by Notary Webster, who originally
witnessed them, and this morning created
rather & sensation in court by calling Web
ster and Blackman to the stand and proving
the papers in bulk. Strong objections were
made by the defense to this action, but they
were overruled by the Court. The examin-
alton, IN consequence, promises to be
much shortened. The defense de-
nourced this private examination as "a
It tar chamber proceeding" and manifested
much feeling on the subject. The Court said
the defense should have the privilege of ex
amining all those papers, and Colonel Bliss
suggested tn, examination be conducted in
the pres, nee of clerk, in a room in the
postofiice department, to be set aside for that
purpose. The defense asked time to con-
slider the proposition, agreeing to come to a
decision before adjournment. The identif-
cation of bids in bulk was then resumed. At
the conclusion OF the examination, Special At
torney Gibson testified to a conversation be-
tween himself and Catell, wherein the latter
acknowledged that his bondsmen were of no
stability, and that he was a partner with
Boone in the mail-carrying business The
was mainly directed TO
making the witness confess he knew nothing
definitely of the value Of the Morgan county,
Kentucky, property, which formed the basis
of Cabell's bond. He also said he knew
nothing of Cabelps performance of service
on his routes. The defense refused to ex-
anime the papers separately, and the court
admitted them as evidence and adjourned
until Tuesday,

THE ASHLAND MURDERERS.
Testimony for the DeEcnse---ElIis's Wife
On the stand.

CATLETTsBURG, KY, January 20.-The
Ashland murder trial was delayed this morn
ing by a consultation with the witnesses, by
the defense. Mrs. Ellis was the first witness;
she and her husband went to bed at the
same time, about o'clock, on the night of
of the murder; she was awake at II O'Clock,
and her husband was there in bed; she
was awake at 4 80 s.m., and still her husband
was in bed; she was asleep between IL and
4:30 o'clock, and heard no noise at the gate,
and if her husband went out that night, she
didn't know it; she stated that they didn't
have dinner on Christmas day; saw her hus-
band and Craft at the fire; didn't see Eer
husband again till about u o'clock; thought
sufficient time interviewed, from the time she
saw her husband at the fire till she saw him
again, to go to Ashland cemetery and back,
the point designated by Ellis where he
(NeaD and Craft met. 1t will be remem-
bered that Ellis s,1ted that he ate dinner at
home that day, alb ~ II o'clock.
Oliver Hampton'w was called: Heard Ellis
say in the presence of Campbell that Neal
and Craft were innocent, but the prosecution
tried TO show that Ellis was scared into this
declaration by threats from Neal and Craft.
DISPOSITIONS read from witnesses in Msysville
Jail tended to strengthen the confession of
Ellis.
J. B. Howell, owner of the Gibson House,
was examined as to the shape and location
of the building.
Mrs. Neal was present, crying at times,
while Neal sat at a table scribbling on a
piece of paper with a short lead pencil.
