THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

VaiIe on the stand-Eais Connection With
 The Star Routo Conspiracy-In the
 Hands or Bliss for CrOss-Examinatton.
 WASHINGTON, April 4. Harvey M. Vaile, one of the defendant, testified for the defense in the Star route trial this morning. He described at some length his early relations with the other de- fendants. With Brady he had never been intimate, and never had any understanding of any kind with him. In explanation of his connection with the routes that form the basis of the case witness said that in July, 1878, Miner requested his advice in regard to putting service on his routes, and offered to give him all of the contracts he had. Wit ness assumed an interest in the business from desire to help Miner, who seemed to be in great trouble. He agreed to see start ed all the Miner, Peck and Dorsey routes, but not the Watts routes. Did not know that Boone or s. W. Dorsey were interested in the contracts. Never heard of Moore un- til his (witness') manWilliamson went to Ore gon The agreement and copartnership be- tween Vaile, Miner, Peck and John Dorsey was then read in evidence. By it's terms Vaile is made treasurer and Miner sec retary of the combination and the receipts from the service are to be divided among the partners in varying proportion. Senator Dorsey had no interest in that partnership so far as witness knew.
 Did you receive telegram from General Brady while in Missouri asked MT. Henkle. I did, answered the witness. He was about to state the contents of his reply when the prosecution objected and after half an hours discussion the reply was allowed by the court. Witness then stated that he replied that he would put in operation the routes of Miner, Peck and Dorsey. He quarrelled with Dorsey in 1878. Their differences were about certain drafts that had been hypothecated at bank for indebtedness. Afterwards they divided their route by latitude. Witness took forty and Dorsey and Peck thirty. 5. w. Dorsey represented J. W. Dorsey and the drawing took place at Dorsey's house. Gen eral Brady, he said, was not in.
 At 8 o'clock Vaile was turned over to Mr. Bliss for cross examination, which was in progress when the court adjourned. He was closely questioned about his pleas in suits with Rerdell and on his letter to Dorsey in which he says that if certain suit is allowed to go on the real parties in the firm Of Minor, Peck $ Go. will be revealed: In re- gard to the latter he admitted that if he had known what was coming he would never have used this language.

Detroit, 21.-The bribery investi-

animation witnesses of to-day at
Lansing. Representative Burton
Parker, of Monroe, corroborated
Beale's testimony last week, that
the latter offered the Monroe post
Office and a $1,000 clearkship for his
son if he would vote for Ferry. He
thought Beale meant to do him a
kindness, and not to be corrupt.
Fisher, one of the proprietors Of the
Grand Rapids Eagle, testified to the
efferts of Hubbell to secure the in
fuence of that paper against Ferry
and subsequently, admitted that he
was told this by his partners, but
did not know the facts himself.
