AT THE END OF THE ROUTES.
The Star Route Trial the Longest in the
COuntry's History

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Although the
star route trial has not yet ended, the
record up to this point is the largest ever
made in a criminal trial in this country.
Printed in small type and octave form it
makes over 5000 pages, or about four and
one quarter millions of words.
TO-day's session of the star route trial
was devoted to hearing of argument based
upon the prayers for the instructions to the
jury. The prayers number twenty for the
prosecution and about one hundred for
the defense. The Attorney General was
present in the court.
Mr.. Ker argued only four of the prayers
submitted by the government. The
others, he said, had already been practi-
cally disposed of in the progress of the
case. The defense decided not to offer
any argument in support of their
prayers, and the court adjourned until to-
morrow, when the charge to the Jury
will probably be delivered.
In the Court of Claims to-day a motion
for a rehearing in the Leopold Cadet
Engineer case was Overruled. After
transacting some other business the court
adjourned until November 26.
