A STRANGE PROCEEDING
BY the Prosecuting Counsel in the
Star-ROute Cases, Aided by That

Stnr-ROute Gases. Aided by ThRI
Able SweRrer. John Ananias Walsh
The taking Of the deposition of Mr.. John
B. Price last Saturday before United State:
Commissioner A. G. Bradley in the alleged
equity cause of John A. Walsh against
Thos. j. Brady turns out not to have been SC
much to promote the chancery suit as an
effort to bolster up the tottering Star Route
trial now in progress and have its effect
upon the jury and public.
The circumstances connected with the
taking of the testimony are in themselves
sufficient to convince any unbiased mind of
this fact.
When the time arrived to take the depo.
sition Mr.. Blackmar, of the Postoifice De-
partment, who has charge of the Price
drafts, appeared without being subpenaed,
bringing the papers with him.
In the course of taking the testimony
Mr.. Price stated that he had remained
over
At the Request of MIR. Ker
to give his deposition. Mr.. Ker is attorney
the deposition was being taken. but is one
of the counsel for the prosecution in the
pending Star Route trial.
There was also present Mr. Boswell, the
stenogIapher for Messrs. Bliss Merrick
Woodward & Co., who takes down the
statements of witnesses in room No. 22
where and when they are prepared for the
witness stand. He, likewise, had no con-
nection with the equity suit. Mr.. Boswell
took down the entire deposition of Mr..
Price, notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Price appeared before Commissioner Bradley
for that purpose. and that gentleman did
write out the deposition. The
Commissioner finding what Bos.
well was doing cautioned him
that the notes must not be made public.
That the law required deposition of this
kind to be sealed and filed with the clerk
of the court and not opened until the cause
came on for hearing In the face of this
instruction, j ohm A. Walsh, with his un-
blushing effrontery, boldly announced that
He Intended TO Make the Matter
Public,
and as evidence OF prearrangement a re-
porter Of the Associated Press arrived at the
Commissioners office as the statement was
about finished. 1t is, therefore, apparent
that Walsh had, as usual, de-
fed instructions and disobeyed au.
thority. His anxiety to get into the news
papers, rather than wait the legal hearing
shows how much real merit there can be in
his claim.
Another important point for considera-
tion is the fact that not single statement
in the deposition bears upon Walsh's bonn
bast equity suit
When all these facts are weighed to-
gether with
The Active Participation of Mr.. Her
and other Government agents in a case in
which the Government has not farthing's
interest, are considered, any unprejudiced
person can see the object of the movement,
which was nothing more nor less than to
affect the jury in the present Star Route
trial.
The Commissioner has not yet trans.
mitted the deposition to the clerks office
and now that Walsh and his cohorts have
violated truth, law and instructions, il is
doubtful whether he will transmit it. Tho
purpose of the schemers is so transparent
that their own acts may turn out boomer

The spacious dimensions of the North
east Temperance Hall, which,but a very
short time ago was amply sufficient for the
very largest meetings of this lodge, are now
being tested to the utmost at the sessions
of the lodge. The people Of the northeast
ern section of the city, as in fact in every
section, have come to seriously consider
the temperance question in all its bearings
upon the individual, home, church and
society and reflection has brought the con-
clusion that those who do not drink but
have taken no decided stand against it, as
well as those who drink but occasionally,
are mainly responsible for the existence of
the drinking custom and tho fact
the trade and traffic in Intoxicating
liquors is profitable or possible. Conseqent
upon these considerations the Order of
Good Templars in this District is growing
in numerical strength and Importance and
its influence as public educator is being
extended here in degree before unknown.
which attests that the order is held in
esteem and that its efficiency is fully ap-
preciated. That Friendship Is active in
the work and popular is demonstrated by a
very large attendance at each meeting and
the rapidity with which it is growing in
numbers, and from among the best class of
citizens in that portion of the city. At the
meeting on Monday evening every avail
"pie space was Hlleu, anu tle deepest inter-
est was manifested in the important busi-
ness which was transacted with prompt
ness and facility.
The business session being concluded the
interest and attention of the lodge were
directed to the following entertaining pro-
gramme, which was thoroughly enjoyed,
and at the conclusion of which the lodge
