Bliss Continues His Argument on Behalf
of the Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, May 3.--In the star route
trial Bliss continued his address to the
jury. If Dorsey was an innocent N an
said he, why did he continue in Reerdeps
employment after he discovered his char
acter? Why did he seek to compound fell
ony with him to prevent him from testify
ing instead of defying him to do his
worst? Bliss admitted that the govern
ment witness Moore was not man of the
highest style, but asked if it was not nat
ural that contractors will not employ men
of high character to do illegal work. They
had threatened to call Pelham, Moore's
counsel, to contradict him, but they didn't
dareds it, they knew he would carroborate
Moore. The defense sought to make the
jury believe,t ,thegove lnment's witnesses per-
jured themselves for Moore's pleasure in
SO doing. Which set of witnesses had the
greater inducement to be truthful? Reer-
del had confessed everything and he
Bliss trusted his punishment would be
lighter than the Others. He would meet
his punishment and pass into obscurity,
but there was no obscurity or AFFECTION for
the others. Hence they sought to color the
truth.
Walsh's testimony was quoted at some
length. The defense showed that Walsh
had animus against Brady. Said Bliss, be-
cause he, Walsh, had suit against him
for large sum of money. Certainly it
was not then Walah's interest to shut up
his opponent in the penitentiary. Com
mentlng upon the failure of the defense
to produce the letter-book or index, Bliss
declared the jury must assume that the in
dex would reveal the absence of Rerdeu's
letter to Brady, which had been put in
evidence by the government. During the
afternoon Bliss read copious extracts from
the record of the evidence by the govern
ment, and when the court adjourned, had
not concluded his address.

The transition from the highest place
on the shelf in great republic to the most
obscure corner on the fosr of the national

Before a man is president he is on sor

TEWKSBURY.
Damaging Testimony as to the Dishonesty
of the Managers.


of the Managers.
BOSTON, May 3.-Dr. @. S. Martin testified
at the Tewksbury examination to day. He
was student of Howard Medical school
from 1871 to 1874. No bodies were ever
dissected there, and no infants bodies
brought in but once. No dogs or cats
were ever dissected, consequently their re-
mains were never mingled with those of
human beings, as asserted in previous tes-
timony. About $40 was paid for bodies.
He knew nothing of the disposition of the
remains after dissection. Lorenzo S. Fair
banks testified that he had examined the
books in which Chas B. Marsh had record
ed money of patients, and there are
hfty-four erasures and alterations, forty
seven of which were figures in the money
columns; these books cover from 1868, but
for the first ten years of the present man
agement no books can be found. The
governor then took the history book and
read that an inmate named Allen had died
in 1877, leaving sixteen dollars in money.
The money assets appeared as one dollar,
and the book showed an erasure as if
changed from SAG. Another book showed
that one dollar was paid the state. Jane
McGrath took $29 to Tewksbury, but was
credited with $952, and the book showed
an erasure had been made in a most sus-
picious manner. Elizabeth Barry is
credited with four dollars in the history
book. The figure had been altered to l.
Banks testified that in the numbers on the
money book relative to the assets of other
patients, the erasures had been made skill
fully SO as to make the amounts less than

NEW YORK's APPORTIONMENT.
The Bill Agreed Upon Divides the Districts
Equally Between the Parties.

lpPOOAoA AeleBTdLu 10 Jlo GlOO0.
ALBANY, N. Y, May 3.-The congress
sional apportionment bill adopted by the
conference committee of the state houses
will give the Democrats sixteen and the
Republicans sixteen districts. The re-
naming two will be doubtful, but with
strong chances in favor of the Democrats.
The estimate is made on the last presiden-
tial vote. In 1880 the Republicans elected
twenty congressman out of thirty three.
Last year the democrats elected twenty
one members to thirteen for the Repub-
licans. The new apportionment gives the
Republicans one member in Brooklyn, but
none IN New York city. The bill as a
whole is pretty fair. In two or three
county districts, however, there is a dis
creditable gerrymander. The ratio of pop
uIation is about $4,000. In the twenty
ninth district the population is 1861 O
and the Republicans will have about l3-.
900 majority. The Twenty fourth dis
trict has a population of only 126,9OO ana
the counties are arranged to give the
Democrats about 1900 majority. The
legislature will probably ad diourn on Friday.
