The EXAMINATION OF JOHN ". DORSEY CONCLUDED
A THREATENING LETTER TO RHRDKLL-
/ The examination OF John w. Dorsey was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon and the star route
trial was adjourned till Monday.
After the STARS report closed, the prosecution
put In evidence letter written by the witness to
Rerdell, dated Baltimore, December 9Th, 1SS2
dorsey begins by referring to conversation he
had had with RerdeIl, and says that upon mature
consideration he has come to the conclusion that
there was more in his remarks unat 'he would
like an immediate triarD than at first appeared,
He begins to suspect that Rerdel is not acting in
good faith and he warns him that II he ever hears
OF him doing anything calculated to in1ure the de-
remnants In this trial he John Dorsey will pros
ecute him for forgery and for another crime that
ne Will not now mention. He concludes with the
assertion that ne can put his hand upon proofs OF
the acts, day and dates. This closed the cross
examination.
Upon redirect examination the witness explained
had with RerdelI, about the beginning OF the trial
IN which Rerdell explained why he had declined
10 sign motion which all the other defendants
had signed, saying that he could not conScien-
tiously do it-that he had antagonsed the court at
the last trial and did not want to repeat the exper
iment. Rerdell said in that conversation that so
Tar as the witness was concerned he believed he
mad done no intentional wrong.
Inc witness was going on to recite long state
not taken the stand at the first trial because coun
SCI ior DEFENSE believed the government had not
made out a case, when Mr.. Merrick objected, and
the objection was sustained
Mr. Ingersoll said that is was the witness inten-
tion TO show that he had been convinced or Rer-
delPs treachery at that time. The court, however,
refused to permit the inquiry, and to admit an ex-
PLANTATION OF the forgery mentioned in DOrsey's
letter The examination then closed.
All or the defendants have now appeared on the
stand except Miner, who it is thought, will take
the stand Monday. 1t is probable that the testi-
mony for the defense viii close next week, and
that shortly afterwards the closing arguments will
begin.
