WASHINGTON, May 17.-Owing to the
illness of juror George b. Sheriff no pro-
sress was made in the star route trial to-
day. Before the court adjourned Judge
Wylie referred to crazy lawyer England,

proper authorities had not taken
charge of him. The court had ordered the
bailiffs to exclude him from the court
house, and for this he had threatened to
shoot the court, or rather the personnel of
the court. OF course this threat would
have been disregarded had the man been
sane, but as it was, no one knew what
wbim might be acted upon by the unfor-
tunate man. The court then adjourned
