Explained to Rerdell's Discontinue
Tho Prosecution Objects to Every
thing in Sight.
After THE CRITIC report OF the Star.Route
trial closed yesterday, ex-senator s. W. Dor
sey continued to testify.
Colonel Ipgersoll offered In evidence all Of
the checks drawn by Mr.. Dorsey on Mlddlo-
ton Co. during the month of June, 1879, for
the purpose Of showing that there was no
check for $1,000, and that with but two OK
ceptions they were all drawn to parties who
indorsed them.
The Government objected to the admission
this was complete evidence to contradict Rer-
dell or not 1t was not for the Court to say; but
II II tended to contradict Rerdell's statement
as to Dorsey's drawing large sum Of money
from the bank during the month OF June IL
was admissible and he should allow 1t for that
purpose.
The checks were then read. All were for
less than $1,000, except one dated June "a,
1879, for $1,000, and which was drawn 10 the
order OF NJ. Q. Rerdell and indorsed by him,
The witness resuming, said that he received a
letter from John w. Dorsey or John NJ. Peck,
and In consequence he gave the letter 10 Mr..
Boone, and he believed what Mr.. Boone had
testified TO about the matter was correct. The
witness was not personally Interested in mail
routes, and employed Boone for Peck aud
John w. Dorsey. He had no Interest, not the
slightest In the world, In any bid that was
made for mail routes In 1878.
The Clendenin letter was read to the wilt
ness. Senator Dorsey said that he wrote or
dictated that letter. discussion arose upon
the objection of the prosecution TO the witness
giving his motive for writing the letter. His
Honor held that the question was proper one
to put, and gave at some length the ground
O'Clock the court adjourned, leaving the an.
swer until this morning.

A Dangerous Dog.

Henry Jones, colored oyster dealer, was
put on trial in the Police Court to-day for
keeping dangerous dog. Mrs. Myers testi-
fled that she had gone to Jones' garden gate
and was waiting to be admitted, when the
hound jumped up over the fence and bit
her in the face and ON the head. The
woman displayed number of wounds on
her face. Another woman testified that
she had been similarly attacked by the
dog, but had escaped serious injury; The
yard, but the Court ruled that this did not
answer, as the dog was so negligently kept
that persons who came to the place in pur-
suit of proper business were exposed to
danger. Jones was fined $40, to be re-
funded on evidence being given that the
dog was dead.
