WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-It looks dark
enough for the Star Route defendants just
now, though the impression prevails that
while the jury will bring in a verdict Of
guilty, the court in banc, to which the
case will be appealed, will set aside the
verdict on some of the numerous excep-
tions taken. Others again say it is more
likely that the defendants will forfeit their
bail and flee to Mexico.

certain exceptions in regard to giving re-
hearsals, when they were to be given for
the benefit Of the churches and charitable
purposes, or otherwise, but he commended
that Morse did not come within the excep-
