ESPECIAL TO THE sEST1SEL.l

gersoll began his argument to-day for the
defendants in the Star Route cases on a
motion to quash the indictments. He
claimed that the indictment was not found
in accordance with law, as a statute OF
Maryland of 1772 is still in force in the
District of Columbia. Under this statute
Ingersoll held that a Grand Jury must
either find an indictment of their
knowledge, or after presentment by order
Of the Court. In this case, he claimed
that the Grand Jury had no jurisdiction.
Judge Wylie said that the whole thing
hinges on the question whether the law OF
1772 is still in force in the District. Ii it
is, then the motion to quash must be sus-
tanned. Chandler held that no offense had
been shown under the common law. Con-
gress, the highest l~aw-making power, had
passed upon and approved all these postal
contracts. II the indictments are over
ruled for any Of the reasons given, there
is an end to the cases.
In the Star Route cases this afternoon,
Kerr began the opening for the prosecu-
| ton, and discussed at length the subject
of conspiracy, claiming that it did not
| follow, when overt acts were set up, that
the prosecution must establish the fact
that 3 crime or misdemeanor was actually
committed, In order to prove conspiracy.
The overt act need be simply something to
show q concert Of action to carry out q
conspiracy. The act itself might or might
not constitute a crime. Kerr then dis
cussed the indictments, denying their in
suficiency or vsgueness, as claimed by the
defense.

City.
MEMPHIS, April 1.-The steamer Pelton,

less. No other dead bodies have been
rescued since the one mentioned yes
terday, which has been identified as Mrs.

"whether the Pacific States Won't
Go Democratic Anyway"
CHICAGO, April Ian Inter-Ocean's
Washington special says, with reference to
the Chinese bill: The President is con-
sidering what is best for the nation as an
