The Star Route Counsel.

Thc Star Route Counsel.
Mr. MERRTCK DENIES REPORT THAT he Is ABOUT
TO RETIRE-wHY HE FEELS CONSTRAINED TO RE-
MAIN IN THE CASES.
A statement was published in the Philadelphia
Press to-day to the effect that Mr. W. w. Ker had
resigned his appointment as special counsel in the
star route cases, and that Mr. Merrick was also
about to retire from the prosecution. The reasons
ntimated for this action were dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Geo. Bliss management Of the cases and the
belief OF Messrs. Merrck and ker that there is no
hope OF convctng any of the star route defendants
in the District.
When his attention was called to this statement
by STAR reporter to-day Mr.. Merrick said the
statement that he had declared his purpose to re-
tire from the cases Is unauthorized. He has desired
to be relieved since shortly after the first trial and
would not have remained in the cases except for
the reason that he is constrained by sense
in some matters Of great Importance Affecting Ger
tain or the accused persons cOincided with him In
bis Judgment as to what ought to he done for their
effective and vigorous prosecution when others did
not agree with him, and he feels that he cannot
therefore leave the cases with propriety. He says
and in dead earnest in these prosecutions and
firmly resolved from the first that they should be
vigorously pressed without regard to the standing,
character or political Affiliations OF any defendant
II this has not been done, and done effectively it is
neither his fault nor the fault of the Attorney Gen
the 50 inquiry shs he
Spencer nor the attachment until the
latter was returned, about four weeks
ago; that there may be some insignificant irregu-
larities about them which he never should have re-
garded as worthy the slightest consideration The
judge and not the counsel for Spencer, found them
out When asked in reference TO their legal effect
and the opinion OF the court, he refused give any
further opinion or to crlticse the opinion OF the
court, saying emphattcaly that whatever was the
law on Friday night, the law was now as the court
had pronounced 1t on Saturday morning
Mr. KER's REPORTED RESTORATION.
The newly appointed chief clerk, who was the
only official on duty at the Department Of Justice
