THE STAR TIE TRIAL.

Special Dispatch to THs BEx
WASHINGTON, May 8 In the star
route case to-day when Bliss began
his concluding remarks to the Jury,
he made o particularly bitter attack
upon Brady and then turned on the
other defendants. This prosecution,
said Bliss, is intended to protect the
tre aeury; such trials must necessarily
take place; the eyes Of the country
were upon the trial to ascertain II q
Jury could be found In tho district
capable of understanding a case of
this magnitude. As Bliss took his
seat Merrlck said, "The government
has closed Its opening"
Wilson Immediately irq1ired Of the
court If the government would claim
two arguments In closing.
Merrick replied In the aft cmative,
and as showing the sentiment of the
attorney general, Msrrlck read q letter
from Brewster wherein no (Merrlck)
Is directed to "a'k tho court to allow
the government two closiog arguments,
for 1t Is his conviction they are emit.
tied to It, In this of all other cases."
II the court declines to allow the mo-
ton then he Che attorney generaO Ia
necessarily excluded.
Wilson declared he would refuse to
argue In case the government were
allo owed two closing arguments.
Ingersoll made q vigorous protest
against the motion to allow two argu.
ments.
The court said 1t had seen nothing
to satisfy Its mind that there was any
reason to jastlfy q departure from the
established practice in such matters.
1t was universal In Jury cases to allow
but n reply to the government and
that order would be preserved in this
case.
Ingersoll explained that perhaps the
defence could arrange to make a place
for the attorney general. They did
not want to deprive the government
of the servlces of Its highest officer.
Merrick said he should refuse to
enter into any arrangement with the
defense as they had uniformly rejected
his propositions.
THAT'S what we want" retorted
Ingersoll, $50 make them responsible
for keeping out the attorney general"
