pected the concurrence of any intelligent jury
rs to tho guilt OF tho principal defendants
upon the charges OF conspiracy on which thoy
were presented. 1t must havo been apparent to
the prosecution from the outset that without
the cumulative testimony OF nccomplices, their
theory OF conspiracy could not be SUCCESS
fully maintained. That their success Is what
II VIII DO claimed to 'is capable OF disputa-
ton from various standpoints that Will ind
due appreciation In the sober second thought
OF tho community and In tho light of Impair
tlal developments. IT is certainly not dlnlcult
of comprehension that had the Government
been contentcd with tho institution OF tho
simple charge OF bribery, 1t could have better
sustained ITSELF not only before the Jury of tho
Criminal Court of tho District but before tho
jury of tho country.
II is already apparent that tho verdict Will
be severely criticised, especially us TO tho de-
PENDANTS, through whom tho case Is prlncl
pally known and derives Its chief importance.
But It's best not TO be In haste with our cen.
sure. Tho court, which was certainly not
backward In the expressions of Its bias, casts
no reflections upon the decision of n Jury
which Viewed tho evidence In n light different
from Its own. II raises no question rs TO tho
integrity or consciousness OF tho disngrceing
Jurors. Tint they acted honestly with the
light before them no ono can carelcssly ques.
ton.
And thus ends n trial which In many respects
Is one Of the most important In our history.
The relations of ex-senator Dorsey and Gen.

A FniIure OF Iustice.
New York Times.

The lame and impotont conclusion to which
the Star Route trial has been brought by tho
Washington jury Is n grievous disappolnt'
ment and suggests almost irresstibly that
one or moro OF Its members must have been
secured In tho interest OF tho chief conspira-
tors from the very beginning. Had all tho de.
PENDANTS been acquitted or had there boon
disagreement as to all except Turner tho re-
suit would have boon comprehensive
at least. But that the two most
Insignificant and least powerful Nom.
bers Of the combination should bo
found guilty, while the two upon whom II
never have made tho least Roadway, should
DO regarded by tho samo Jurors as possibly
free from guilt is simply prepostorous. Tho
