slons Mhere tney seemed 10 be demanded
in q spirit OF justice.
Wilson also participated in this argu.
ment. He asserted that whenever a post.
master had regularly reported a failure 10
Brady, he had relentlessly and unerringly
and eyerlastingiy, SO long as be did last In
this oihce, impose the fines in strict accor-
dance with the law and regulation. Walsh
had said Brady Tot half OF the remissions.
He wanted to show by testimony offered
that this statement was utterly untrue. He
wanted the jury to see whether
or not the remittances had been Justly
made or not. He wanted to show that the
remitted money passed into such hands
that Il would have been absolutely impos-
of il.
Bliss said that, while the prosecution re.
garded the evidence inadmissible, yet, in
view OF the wild statements of the other
| side, he would request the court to
admit it. The Bismarck ana
Tongue river route was tbs only route upon
which there was no sub~coutractor. Upon
| Others it was possible for Brady to cut and
deduct to any extent, SO that il was within
the limit OF sub,contractors to pay.
The court decided to admit the evidence
| In order save time, 10 shorten the trial so as
TO bring II within the compass of an aver
| age lifetime. SO again the Examination
was resumed aud continued till adjourn

DORSEY iSrlIors Us AGAIN.
Ex-senator Dorsey furnishes for publlea.
| ton the following card
! To the Associated Press.
| am informed thai you sent TO the coul..
try the villainous taisehood that appeared
in the Star tonight as a statement OF Reer-
dell, The Associeed Press being supreme
4 N Il q
to 1t and ask that what | saw
be placed beside what the perjurer saws. /
never saw Belford on the cars, never
played game Of cards with him or IN his
presence anywhere or at any time. |
never gave him q check of any kind what
soeyer for any purpose in the world. Ineyer
met him in my life except in Washington
or in Denver, and then only sooiably.
Reerdell says | was here in October, 1870,
and that he spoke to me about the check.
was not here any day after the llth OF
July, 1879, until about August, 1850, and
III the meantime ! had not seen ,leerdell
This story is one that flows from the mouth
OF q self.admitted perjurer and
thief. Reerdell never kept book foI
me, never wrote line in a
book for me- never made
a charge for me, never had check book o
mine, unless he stole 1t; no check, no stut
OF check, no entry Of any name, or char
acter ever existed, upon which 10 base thi.
infamous libel. Reerdell's statement is the
natural outgrowth of the usual infamy o
transmitted power, and fairly represents it
lSignedl s. w. DORSEY.
Judge Belford, in conversation tonight
fully confirms all that ex-senator Dorsey
states above concerning The check story. HI
says he never rode a foot on any railway il
company with Dorsey, never PLAYED gam,
OF poker with him in his life, and never
saw the check described by Reerdell. The
whole story, he said, was entirely false
from beginning to end, insofar as his name
was connected with it.

appearance in the Star of yesterday of al
article from the Denver Repuhli
can, alleging that he (Beford
had arranged the bail bond o
one Hoyt, star-routc maa, who had made
false q ,ldayit as to the value of propert '
owned by him in Colorado, and had been
arrested and held to bail by Judge Smell fol
false swearing. Belford said: my con
nectlon with the matter was just this; Hoy
was held to bail and wanted bondsman
Being member of congress, | could no

Hoyt owned valuable mineral lands in the
southern portion Of New York state
Had not beeA IA member
Of congress l would have gone upon hi
bond. Instead, | wrote note in which
said | knew Hoyt, and knew HIN to b,
responsible, and that while | could not my
self go on his bond, | would have 10 hest
tation in lndemnifying any one who woult
become his surety, | did for Hovt thai
which would do for any friend. | did /,
as an act OF friendship for friend whom
knew to be responsible. So far as the S20,-
600 chec story is concerned, il is the ialses
fabrication ever concocted oy proiessed

yesterday in not letting me discaim tht
lie in the place where it was uttered"
