That after Vale came In and agreed to fur
nish tho money necessary to put the service
in operation, John II. Miner having powers OF
attorney from Peck ana John W. Dorsey, exc
cuted to II. NJ. vaile subcontracts for tho pur-
pose OF securing him for the money he had
advanced.
That II. NJ. vaile put these subcontracts on

as security the Postonice drafts that had been
given to s. W. Dorsey for the purpose OF secur-
Ing him.
Bismarck and Tongue River route in Novem-
ber, 1878, and that he then offered to sell out
his entire interest in the business to Vale for
$4,000, and left instructions authorizing his
brother, 8. W. Dorsey, to mako such sale for
such amount. That John W. Dorsey then re-
turned TO the Tongue. River route.
That Stephen W. DAsey returned to Wash
ington in December, 1878, and for the first
time found that the subcontracts had been
given TO Vale. That he and Mr.. Vale had
Bank on that question.
That afterward Dorsey was to give $4,000
Peck. That he then concluded not to do SO.
That on the dth day OF March,
when 9. w. Dorsey's Senatorial
Term Expired,
he Immediately wrote a letter to Brady In
sisting that the subcontracts that had been
filed by Vale were in fraud ofh rights. That
thereupon the parties In interest came to-
gether. That s.. W. Dorsey acting for Peck,
his brother and himself agreed with Vale and
Miner TO division Of the routes.
That 8. W. Dorsey paid Peck $40, 900 for his
interest, paid John W. Dorsey 10000 for his
interest, and took substantially 80 per cent.
OF tho routes, and paid himself the money
that was owing TO him by Miner, Peck Il Co.
That the parties at the time executed to
rtl.
as were necessary to vest, as far as they then
under the law could vest, the routes SO divided
In the parties to whom they fell.

was completed, and that from that time for
ward Vale and Miner had no interest in the
routes that fell to Stephen W. Dorsey, and that
from that time forward stephen w. Dorsey
had no interest in the routes that fell to Vaile
and Miner, and that John W. Dorsey and John
Nj. Peck had no interest In any route from that
date forward until tho present moment. That
s. W. Dorsey took entire and absolute control
OF his routes, and that Miner and vaile took
entire control OF their routes. That from that
time until the present nalther party interfered
| with the routes Of tho other.
That Vaile and Miner made no paper OF any
sort, character or kind for Stephen w. Dorsey
| after the 9th of May, 1879, and that neither
| John W. Dorsey nor John NJ. Peck made any
papers of any kind, sort or character for
| Miner or Vale after that date, no matter what
| time. That S. w. Dorsey made no papers for
| Miner or Vaile after that date. And that
Miner and vale made no papers for s. W.
| Dorsey after that date, May 8, 1879. That all
| papers bearing date after the 9th OF May were
| In fact signed by the parties at or before that

| OF making the division complete.

petitions that they had right to do. That s.
w. Dorsey upon his routes got up petitions,
| as ho had right to do.
That the routes were increased and expe.
| dited by the Second Assistant Postmaster
| General in accordance with the policy of the
| Department accordance
iions filed and the aflldavits made, as he had
fright to do.
the policy OF the Postoflco Department.
That the Evidence of A. w. Moore is
Unworthy of Belief,
| and that his statement that he settled with s.
| w. Dorsey Is demonstrated to be false by the
| receipts that he afterward gave in final settle
ment to John II. Miner, as admitted by him
| self. That his testimony as to the existence
| OF a conspiracy is rendered worthless and ab.
surd by the fact that he sold out not only his
interest but his services up to that time for
| $6S2. That his conversations with Miner
could not have taken place. That he never
made or offered to make such contracts with
| Major as he pretended he was Instructed Ia
make and as he swore that he did make. That
his conversation with s. W. Dorsey never oe-
CURED.
That the Testimony of RerdelI Il
Utterly and Infinitely Unworthy OF
Credit.
That he is not only contradicted by all the
evidence, but by himself, and how can you
corroborate man who tells no truth? There
must be something to be cOrroborated.
That the red books never existed.
That the pencil memorandum was forged by
himself.
That the Chico letter was written by him.
And that the letter from Dorsey to Bosler
said to have been dated May 13, 1870, was
| born OF the imagination ofsMfr. Rerdell
That Rerdell's letter TO Bosler OF the 22l OF
| May, 1880, was never sent, was never re.
ceived, and was never written until after this
for the Government. That Bosier never re-
| ceived that letter, nor the letter pretended tc
have been written by Dorsey on the 18th oi
| May, 1879.
| That the tabular statement in which 331
per cent was allowed to Brady never existed
That Rerdell did not visit Dorsey's oi1ice II
conversation with Torrey. That Rerdell wa
not there. That he did not have the conversa
tion detailed by him with Dorsey at the
the letter OF the 18Th of June, 1881.
That Rerdell swore in June, 1881, that Dor
sey was entirely innocent. That he swore to
| three aflidavtts OF the same kind. That he
again swore to the same thing on the 18th Of
July, 1882. That he admitted by his letter o
July 8, 1882, that s. W. Dorsey did not ever
ask him to make the anldavit OF Jline, 1881
| but that he was persuaded to do 5. by James
W. Bosler. That he was not locked up at VIII
lard's Hotel. That he was not threatened witt
shown the letters he had written to woman
That the whole story with regard to tho max
ing Of that AFFIDAVIT was utterly and unquali
fedly false. That he
Never Had the Conversation will
Thomas j. Brady
that he claimed. That Brady never suggested
TO him to have any books copied. That ther
were no books OF Dorsey's that needed to b.
copied. That he did not see s. W. Dorse
draw any money at Middleton's bank at tn
| time he states. That he, Rerdeli, drew tn
money himself. And that his entire testimon
is absurd, contradictory and utterly unworth
| OF credit.
RerdelI's Unworthy Evidence.
Let me say another thing to you, gentlemen
right here. 1t would be better thousan
times that all the defendants tried In the mex
hundred years should escape punishment
than that one man should be convicted upo

offered TO the Government to make n bargai
while the trial was In progress, that he woul
challenge from the Jury all the friends OF tn
defendants, and help the Government TO q
the enemies OF the defendants upon the jur,
You never can AFFORD TO take the evidence
such man. II turns a courthouse into q de
OF wild beasts. You cannot do II.

The Story OF walsh is ImprObabI,
and that all that Boone swears against thes

never loaned tho money to Brady that
