charged with completely in robbery 500, 900 In
city bonds at st. Joseph, Mo-, about year ago,
which Is now on trial, John s. Cox, one of the
defendants, turned states evidence and testi-
fed that he, together with Crowther, Irwin and
Scott. planned the robbery and that on the
night of the 18th of March last, while st. Pat
rick's day ball was going on In the city hall,
Crowther and Scott entered the Office of the city
register, and distracted the bonds from the
vaults. Subsequently Scott and Irwin went to
New York and negotiated them. The testi-
mony produced sensation and was partially
corroborated by other witnesses but the defense
will attempt 30 break 1t down by showing that
Cox'ss reputation is very bad 1t is reported
that Irwin has made a confession but this is not
verified.

The star Routes Case.

Washington, 2l.-Rsredel continued
his testimony in the star route tris! to-
day. The court refused to admit in evil
dence the a ulster roll Of sred yesterday.
The witness said Doraey's instructions
regarding the filing in Of blank papers
we're specific. Merrick stated that he
should perhaps recall the witness to fur
Their examine him concerning certain
papers not yet in his possession; otherwise
be concluded the examination.
The cross-exRmination of Reredell was
then began by Ingersoll. Witness de-
MED that ne had received money or con-
sideration of any kind for making his
affidavit. InRersoll asked him whas he
intended to swear about the false books
prepared for the congressional commit
tee. Objection by the prosecution. In
gersoll argued that if the witness were
ready to swear to 8 falsehood then, he
was equally ready to do it now. The OBJ
lection was sustained by the court.
Witness identified paper presented to
him by Ingersoll as being in his hand
writing. except the words land others"
which he had signed and sworn to. In
gersoll then read the paper. 1t WAS an
affidavit by Rerdell, dated July 18th,
1882, ia which hesRore that s. w. Dor
sey, j. A. Bosler and Brady had never,
by verbal or written direction, or infu-
ence, committed any wrong; there was
never an improper act or suggestion by
Dorsey or Bosler; the statement that he
(Reredell) had books and papers showing
they had been engaged in q scheme to
defraud people was false; no such books or
papers ever existed. The statement that
Dorsey and Bosler paid so per cent. of
their RENTED fines, or any percentage to
Brady, was pure fabrication. Neither
Dorsey or Bosler ever secured increased
service by corrupt means, In short, all
the stories told of unlawful operations on
the part Of Dorsey and Bosler were ma
licious fabficstionS gotten up for neWspa-
per purposes, and this statement was
made voluntarily to vindicats them.
The witness said he desired to ex-
plain the circumstances under which
the affidavit was made. A few days be-
fore its date he had notified Dorsey that
he intended to go over to government
and make full statement. Dorsey then
called him into WillArd's Hotel and
threatened 10 prosecute him for perjury
II he did this. Dorsey also produced two
letters that Reredell had been foolish
enough to write to q woman in this city
and said he would break up his family
relations if he did not make this affidavit.
Witness was very much frightened, as he
supposed these letters had been de-
stroysd, Yielding to these threats Wit
ness consented to make the affidavit
Dorsey wrote it; witness copied it, and
carried IL to Dorsey and RosIar Wit
ness Acknowledged the affidavit was false
IN every particular.
The question of the entries to Smith
and Sam Jones came up sgain, and wit
