JOHN A. WALSH GI"Es THE PRESIDENT So
POINTS, WHICH ARE not NOTICED.

JOHN A. WALSH GIVES THE PRESIDENT SOME
POINTS, WHICH ARE NOT NOTICED.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., JANUARY S.-Jobn
4. Walsh has given 10 the public a letter
written by him to President Arthur, dated
l." New York, December 1Sth," regarding
the star-route matters, and which was not
answered. In card TO the public Walsh
says: Gas citizen Of the United States.
in the exercise Of my rights as such,
have addressed respectful communications
TO the Acknowledgement OF the United
States and TO the President thereof. Iav-
ing received no reply to either commu-
nication, desire TO cnlighten the people
Of the country by placing myself before
them the contents Of my unanswered letter
to the President"
Walsh begins his letter to the President
by saying that he had written to Attorney
General Brewster November Sd, but had
received no reply. He expresses disSatis-
faction with the position in which
he was placed by the counsel Tor
prosecution when he was called rs
a witness in the star-rOute conspiracy
trial. lie rchearscs his stery about his
suit with Brady and his damaging testimo-
ny against Senator Kellogg, and charges
that there was failure to indict the latter
only because OF the collision Of George
Bliss and Il large number OF Government
officials CLERKS and policemen with Kellogg
and his friends. lie alleges that it was
found necessary to discredft his word as
the only method OF securing this result,
and hence il was done. In explaining the
methods by which this diScredit was thrown
upon his testimony, Walsh refers to the
fact, which was published at the time, that
4 copy OF the testimony in the Spoford-
Kellogg senatorial contest lin which
Walsh had been a witness) had been
brought into the @rand-iury room and was
read and referred to by the jurors before
whom Walsh was testiiying. In regard to
this circumstance Walsh says: "Indeed.
Mr.. President, il is said n member OF you
Cabinet gave TO Il certain grand juror, in
violation Of the statute, the aforementioned
| testimony. Then it was that the organs OF
| the pooled iSsues-yiZ., Brady Ct al. in
court. and Kellogg ct al. not vet there
heraldcd TO the world that - grand jury
composed OF citizens OF eminent respects
/ bility refused 10 believe Walsh on OATH
/ This was supplemented by the most infa-
nous abuse OF me in the columns OF these
organs, and that, too, while | was under
Subpoena from the Court. II you de.
sire it will take great pleasure
in showing you papers from the case.
Ii after inspection OF letters, kilograms,
bank-checks, and postatdrafts, you say
there is not a primG.fdCie case of the
strongest kind against these men, will
plead guilty to criminally libelling them"
Walsh concludes with a statement that
he knows no man who believes that the
prosecution rs a whole is in earnest. It's
acts have been OF such 4 character as to
preclude the possibility Of intelligent men
believing in its honesty OF purpose, and
! for proof OF this he refers the President to
