the introduction OF the banjo into

THE STAR ROUTES.
Argument by Col. Ingersoll for the De-
fence.

Argument by Col. Ingersoll for the De-
fence.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-In the Criminal
Court this morning, Col. Robert Ingersoll re-
sumed the argument for the defendants in the
Star Route cases upon the adm1ssbillty OF
Walsh's evidence. He said the court had
clearly laid down the rules of law governing
fectly in accord with the decision of the court,
and to argue the question further would only
be making an attack upon something already
dead. One question had already been effectu-
ally disposed of in this court; disposed of be-
yond further argument 1t was that the con-
fession of conspirator could not be used in
evidence against fellow. ,onspirator, until the
conspiracy itself had been fully made out.
The government counsel had declared that
they had submitted all of their evidence tend
ing to establish the conspiracy, and 1t YVES now
within the discre tionary power of the court to
say whether prima facie case had been made
out; not a possible case, but prlma facle
case. All men were presumed to have done
right until the contrary appeared, even when
convicted by the preSs. The presumption was
that Gen. BRADY and Mr.. Turner acted honest
ly, and if they had acted otherwise 1t must be
so shown. Even allowing that the defendants
had been mutually interested in the contracts
it was no evidence of the existence OF conspi-
racy. 1t must be shown that the combination
was corrupt, and, failing in that, there was
nothing to sustain the indictment.
In conclusion, Mr.. sIngersoll said he would
affirm three propositions: First, that confess
sion of a fellow w-conspirator could not be ac-
cepted against an aSsociate second, that the
confession could not be ucsd against himself
until the conspiracy had been otherwise prov
ed and third, that confession of acts not
done in the furtherance of the objects OF the
conspiracy could not be received Mr. Inger-
soil was followed by Mr.. Wilson on the same
side.
Gen. Henkle followed Mr.. Wilson, and the
defence announced that they had closed their
argument upon the point under discussion,and
Mr.. Merrick began the closing argument for
the prosecution
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Accepting, without
argument. the assumption of the court that a
conspiracy was sufi GENTLY established, Mr..
Merrick quoted authorities to show that decla,
rations of the parties might now be accepted
as against themselves. At his conclusion, the
defence were allowed to examine the authori-
ties quoted by Mr.. Merrick, and Mr.. Chandler
argued at length upon them. The court then
adjourned to tomorrow, when its decision
will probably be rendered
