IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.--The long-promisrd sun
render by Rerdell. ex-senator Dorseys secretary,
was made to-day, and the second Star Route trial,
which has thus far been almost IA exact repetition
of the first, was furnished at last with an interest
ing scene Rerdell arose and withdrew his plea of
mot guilty." pleaded guilty. and threw himself
on the mercy of the Court. Later in the day. owing
to the unexpected refusal of the defence
to cross-examine John A. Walsh, Rcrdell
called TO the stand. He is short man. insig.
niiicant In appearance, with dark mustache and
chin beard. He is rather OF rural type, and
would pass for village lawyer or small store
keeper He is regarded BY the Government as the
least guilty of all tbs defendants, being "A mere
clerk on a salary and without any interest in the
contracts Men connected with the prosecution
say they know this. The more important portions
OF his testimony were no: reached to-
day. but some interesting things stated,
tending to prove Dorsey's connection with the man.
ufacture of bogus petitions and Brady's understand
ing with Dorsey. When first sent out West by
Dorsey nearly year before the latter left the Sen
ate, Rerde instructed TO brld stations, houses
and stables along the Bismarck and Tongue River
route with the understanding that only every
other one was to be used before expedition
was or dered This was soon after the be-
ginning of the contract term, showing
apparently that there was prior understanding
with Brady that there should be expedition. On
this trip he got petitions for increases under drec
tions from Dorsey. few months after, in Decem-
ber 1878. he was told by VAIL whose employ he
had then entered, that the service he had would
yield, properly manager, $4,000 or $4,000
year.
When Rerdell took charge of Dorscys correspond
ence he found among the papers a number Of afida-
Wits in blank signed by j. W. Dorsey, the Senator's
brother, and J. NJ. Peck. The parts left blank were
those on which the allowances by the Department
would be made, statements as to the number of men
and horses used on q route, etc. Subsequently
Dorsey wanted afidavits. Rerlell wrote them
and sent them to Peck, who lived in New-Mexico,
and j. W. Dorsey. who lived in Vermont and they
were returned signed. Rerdel told of one petition
which was signed by the sub contractor in blank and
filled out by Senator Dorsey himself. Brady was
conferred with respecting the ways and means OF
expedting this route. Rerdell is expected 20 offer
some important documentary evidence tomorrow.
