STAR ROUTE TRIAL PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY.
There was a very large audience present in the
Criminal Court room when Mr.. Ingersoll resumed
his address to the Jury in the star route trial this
morning. He continued his review OF the test!-
mony OF Reriell. Mr.. Ingersoll, while commenting
upon RerdellS affidavit OF July last, said he had
been astounded at the facility with which Rerdell,
on the stand, had picked out the paragraphs that
Dorsey wrote and the paragraphs written by him
self. He had found afterwards that different par
agraphs In the paper had been underscored with
blue pencil; and that the paper had been given
him by Mr. Woodward, marked, so that at a
glance he could tell what to swear. "And more ~
said Mr. lngersoll "in regard to the witnesses who
were summoned here to testify To handwriting
upon papers In this case. will show you that
every one OF those papers had little secret mark
upon 1t, so that the man who swore would know
which way to swear. There has been q great
deal OF preparation in this case"
THE PAYMENT TO 'sMR. SMITH"
Mr.. Ingersoll commented at considerable length
upon the "pencil memorandum" purporting to
show payment to "Wm. Smith," He argued
that the government could get no man except Rer-
dell himself to swear that 1t was in the hand
writing OF S. w. Dorsey. He showed the Jury
various papers for the purpose Of comparison. TO
sustain the theory that the names alleged to have
been written by S. w. Dorsey were written by
Rerdell Mr.. 1nger5oll argued that it was absurd
that Dorsey should give such entries in false names
to Rerdell Mr.. 1ngersoll declared IT was his
opinion that ReTdell made after mark on the pen
CT! memoranda. He had manufactured 1t so that
he might have something to swap with the gov
ernment for immunity.
Mr. 1ngerSOl said that undoubtedly the prosecIl-
tlon could ind writing OF &. w. Dorsey's that
looked like that in the pencil memorandum, be-
cause that writing was written in imitation OF
delPs that look like It, He denied 1t as absurd
that Dorsey should initiate Rerdell's writing.
AT tnlS point the usual recess was taken.

The District Militia.

THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION ADOPTED-ADvAN-
TAGEs WHICH ARE CLAIMED FOR 1T.
The official order for the reOrganZ alton OF the
District militia has not been promulgated, as it
has not yet received the signature Of the Presi-
dent. The plan OF reorganization is, however,
substantially as outlined In The STAR several
days ago: Instead OF consolidating the District
as as It r. was generally thought would
pose brigade, each organization forming a bat
tailOn, to become regiment when sufficiently en-
larged. The brigade Will be commanded by a
Drlgad1er general, who Will have regular staff
properly commissioner. By this plan OF reorgani-
Z1t1on 1t Is thought that OF the difficulties
which stood in the way OF the change into a
regiment Will be experienced. There need be
no change OF uniform or OF the present officers,
and there Will be no claShing Of the co.ored and
White troops, which could not have been avoided
II the troops were TO compose one or tworegiments
The somewhat mixed question as TO who is in COM
mand OF the District militia VIII be autiorita-
lively settled. The officers OF the organizations
VIII be properly commissioned and the troops Will
be under the control OF the government Great
dlf11culty Is experienced in obtaining leave Of
absence from the departments where many OF the
militia men are employed. II they DE- sire to par
tclpate In any parade or funeral procession the
time lost is deducted from their salaries
When reorgan nZed, the militia will be ordered out
Dy the government the same as the troops at the
arsenal or the marines, and they Will be coasd-
ered on government duty, without having to pay
for lost time.
