WORRYING JOHN DORSEY.

Few Lively Episodes in the sStar Route
Trial Yesterday-CencIusfon of Dorsey's
Testimony.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The examination
of John Dorsey was continued. He said
he sold his interest in the mail service to
Stephen Dorsey for $4,000, and since
July, 1879, had no interest in any route.
He denied that he had ever paid any money
to any officer of the government to secure
an increase of expedition of routes.
Gross examined by Merrick, witness said
in December. 1875, he forwarded draft for
$500 to S. w. Dorsey to pay sundry ex-
penses. Did not send money to Boone,
because he knew nothing of Boone's con-
nection with the business. Had written S.
W. Dorsey instead of Miner, because Peck
requested him to do so. Did not know
why Peck had not written directly to S. w.
Dorsey.
Merrick wished to know why he had
Jagged his brother, senator, into this
business instead of sending money to his
partner, Miner.
Witness did not believe he had dragged
his brother into it. He had taken that
action because he regarded it the best
coarse.
Witness was asked why be had written
to his brother that he regarded Tongue
river as worth 100000 for the contract
term. He answered with seeming frank
ness that the statement showed his ignor-
ence of the business Of running mail
routes. Witness was pressed to account
for two different aflidavits upon one route.
He acknowledged having sworn to them.
He supposed it was straight, square work.
Merrick--It is swear work, certainly. He
then bluntly asked witness which Of the
conflicting afidaVits was lie.
The witness was not allowed TO repeat
ReerdePs statement TO him in regard to
that matter, but managed in explanation
to state il effect that one affidavit was in
tended to correct an error contained IN the
other. Witness could not identify his
brothers handwriting. Had not received
letter from him since December, 1873,
nor did he know Peck's signature. He was
no Judge Of handwriting.
Would you know your hand writing?"
queried the court.
Al think so.
The Court think [ do.
The testimony of witness closed with a
denial of evil intentions in making the f.
f1davits connected with the routes. Ad-
journed until Monday.
Much amusement was created in the
court room during the forenoon by the cir
culation of an illustration in a humorous
paper containing a sketch of the star route
trial in 1901.
