Co.tinuauon OF Bliss Address to the
Jury.

WASHINGTON, May Z.
When the star route trial was resumed this
morning. Bliss continued his address to the
jury.
In reply to an interruption by Mr. wilson,
he said he would make any correction cheer
fully if he was assured the defense would
not argue in its own behalf, but Wilson did
not respond, and the argument proceeded.
Bliss declared the official records showed that
within three months after the date upon which
S. W. Dorsey came into possession of his
twelve routes, ten had been increased or ex-
pedited, and most of the orders had been
made while Dorsey was in this city, and ne
one knew how far the thing would have gone
if new administration had not come into
honest mems hands and McVeagh and James
stepped to the front, yet with Incompatible
mpudence, Dorsey had patched Rerdelfs
affidavit, addressed it to the President and
had attempted to defame the memory of
Garfield by asserting that upon that affidavit
Garfield would have removed two of his cab
met.
Mr.. Bliss made vigorous attack upon the
expert evidence concerning the handwriting
of various papers, and many contradictions
and Inaccuracies were exposed. Dorsey was
ironically congratulated upon his recovery
from the eye trouble that had prevented him
from swearing to his own hand writing.
During his argument Bliss frequently
tainted the defence with their failure to call
B0sler in contradiction of -Rerdell. Bosler.
