Through With Dorsey-The Cross-Exam- l inatton Comes to an Abrupt End l Points Brought Out by NIT. Merrfck's 1 Questions.
 WASHINGTON, April 3.-The cross-examina- l ton of ex-Senater Dorsey was resumed this | morning in the Star route trial. He said his | clerk had refreshed his memory and he would ! now testify that MT. Bosler came to his house l to get the letter book saying he wished to show it to Colonel Bliss. He furnished Bos-
 Ter $2o,ooO in sixty days to pay expenses Bosler took charge of the whole business on January l, 1880. Rerdell made up the ac- counts of the sub-contractors. When the
 witness gave Bosler half interest in the bus
 mess he did not know what they were paying or on how many routes fines and deductions had been imposed. MT. Merrick, he said, made mistake when he calculated that the
 increase on routes was all profit. He made
 no allowance for fines and deductions, pay of
 agents and other expenses.
 The afternoon WAS occupied in going over
 points touched upon in the testimony in
 chief and brought out in the beginning of
 the cross examination. In regard to the af-
 fidavit made by Rerdell at Willard's Hotel,
 witness said he had prepared it. It was
 made, as the affidavit showed, purely in be-
 half of Bosler. Did Bosler need any pro-
 lection p asked Mir. Merrick. Everybody
 needs protection from a man like that said
 Mr. Ingersoll. ''As much as the govern
 ment does from some people," said MT. Mer-
 rick. MT. Merrick read the passage from
 Rerdell's Jersey City telegram q have
 been faithful to every trust" ''He had
 a stolen book under his arm at the
 time," said the witness. "He had book
 had he? ?'' said Mr. Merrick. According to
 his own testimony, 'said.the witness. stDo you recollect." asked Mir. Merriok, 'thow that af- fdavit came to be directed in it's beginning to MT. President ?'' The witness after hesitat- ing 8 few seconds said: q want to confer with counsel 8 moment.' 'fNo, sir, said MT. Merriek. ''No, sir," said Judge Wylie, ''you cannot confer with coun- sel. You must answer according to your best recollection My recollection" said witness, ''is that after the affidavit was made and sworn to I sent for Colonel Ingersol and submitted it to him. In consequence of that interview the come to you?' said Mir. Merrick. ''Origi- nally think not, |" said the witness. "Who wrote the words MT. President. " 'T think Rerdell did, :" said the witness. MT. Mer- rick having rallied the witness on his forget. | fulness considering this affidavit the witness 1 said ''Give me brief you worte in the l Supreme court three or four years agoRand l let me ask if you wrote or suggested certain | changes, and I don't think you would re, l member it." 'sYes. I would,' said MT. 1 Merrick, Eff it were about an important l matter like this That would show," said witness, ''that ysu are 8 marvel ous man" During the examination that fol | lowed the witness expressed himself very | freely about ex-Attorney General MacVeagh, | who he said had disgraced his office and he | said if the President had lived another week | MacVeagh would have been removed.
 If there WAS anything didn't do to get l him removed said the witness, have for 1 gotten it. At half-past three o'clock MT. | Merrick announced that he had concluded ! the cross examination of ex-Senator Dorsey. l The abrupt manner of this announcement | was surprise to the defense and the court. l Judge Wylie then adjourned the court until |
