While the bulk of the American
people are unanimous in the belief
that the Star reuters are guilty as
charged, yet few ever believed that
they would ever be convicted. 1t
mattered not what evidence as to
guilt might be presented the jury
was bound not to convict. Dorsey
had done so much for the Republi-
can party that they looked upon any
attempt to convict him as infamous.
This Is the way John H. Crane, the
foreman, expressed the feeling of the
jury:
1.-THE fnct is, the conviction of ex-
Senator Dorsey would have been in
famous. He did as much as any
man in the United States to put the
present Administration in power,
and yet, during the recent trial the
Administration used all it's power to
put him in the Penitentiary. The
Administration even went 80 far as
to employ a notorious Democrat
Catholic Democrat-the lawyer who
defended John II. Surratt, and who
was in sympathy with the rebellion.
to assist in crushing Dorsey and
bringing ruin and disgrace upon his
family"
