Judge Krum and His Affairs.

ST. LOUIS June 15.-Application was made
about 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Probate
Court by an attorney for Mrs. Mary Man
ming, one of the heirs of the Ford estate, of
which the missing ex-Judge Chester H.
Krum was administrator, for the appoint
ment of another person to take charge of the
estate. The attorney stated that he found,
from an examination of the records, that
false statements and settlements had been
filed in court. Mrs. Manning, in an inter-
view, stated that Krum had $40, 900 to $50,-
600 which was due her; that he had failed to
make any settlement with her for three
years; that his replies to her inquiries were
all evasive, etc.
Clarence Newcomb, of Thiels detective
bureau, returned to-day. and confirmed his
previous statement that Krum had travelled
with him from San Francisco to Ogden
Krum was registeredat the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco under the name of James Reilley.
and travelled under that name; his ticket was
for Salt Lake City, but at Ogden he suddenly
changed his mind, and saying he would go
to Park City, mining town in Utah, gave
Newcomb the slip. Nothing has been heard

Special to the Indianapolis JOurnaL
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The New England,
New York and Pennsylvania newspapers,
with the exception of the Times and World,
treat the star-route verdict philosophically,
although they show a marked disposition to
lay the blame for the failure of of the prose
cution upon the shoulders of the coun-
sci for the government, who are gen
orally censured for protracting
the trials to an unreasonable
length to the befuddlement of the jury and
the defeat of justice, Congratulatory letters
and kilograms continue to pour in upon the
acquitted star-routers from all quarters of
the country, and the defendants counsel
come in for full share of the same; the ex-
uberant Ingersoll is literally overwhelmed
with congratulations. Dorsey is renewing
his threats to sue the New York Times and
other papers for libel, promising to make
it very warm for them. Ingersoll
says Dorsey will not go into the libel suit
business, but Dorsey insists that he is going
ahead just the same. Late tonight Dorsey
gave out his letter to John A. Martin, secre-
tary of the national Republican committee,
to the Associated Press to set himself right
in that matter Stories having gone out full
of Misrepresentation, he promises, in the
near future, to give to the public some ad-
ditional correspondence between himself,
Garfield, Arthur and others of sensational
character. When the fizz of the last battle
passes away he may change his mind, as he
has done before

A Call from Colored Republican Club
The Ex-Senator's Thanks.
WASHINGTON, Jnne lbs. w. Dorsey was
serenaded, late this evening, at his residence
by the Colored Republican Club of this city.
He made brief speech in acknowledgment
of the courtesy, in which he said:
II thank you for the heart you have shown
in calling here this evening; I thank you not
only for myself, but for all the defendants
l thank you not only for the defendants and
their families, but thank you for the courage
you have shown in the presence OF all the dis
honor that the government has tried to put
upon me in plastering the graves of mothers
and the cradles of babies with nfamy. You
are braye enough, you are strong enough, to
raise up your voices and your right hands
against this attempted injustice. / thank
you for the courage that you have
shown. l thank you for the
pluck men like you can show
in looking in the face of power. But over
and above all that, this verdict has told a
story in whose presence humanity will bow
down; possibly not this year or next, but the
time will come when it will be pointed to as
Macaulay pointed to the trial of Warren

self. 1t is matter of little consequence who
is convicted and who is not. 1t is a matter of
great consequence whether there is any
government powerful enough, or whether
there is any treasury full enough to bow
down citizen, however humble. This trial
and this verdict have placed upon the books
of justice a splendid record of the manhood
of men. A jury made up of Democrats and
Republicans, colored men and white men,
Protestants. Catholics and atheists, all agreed
that the men charged were not guilty.
So it turns out that in the District of Column

could be found who would not bend the

Million Too Much in One Case.
WAsHNGToN June 15.-The Hill investi-
eating committee met to-day. Mr.. Coleman,
counsel for Mr.. Murch, called attention to
request heretofore made upon the supervis-
ing architects office for all papers relating 10
extra work performed by Bartlett, Robbins
& Co, upon the New York postoflice, and in
timated that this request had not been COM
piled with.
Mr. Thomas, for Mr.. Hill replied that the
counsel had not specified what particular
papers were required. The charges were not
sufficiently definite or explicit.
Mr. Coleman replied that the charges and
specifications were as definite and specific as
would be required in an indictment in half
the States of the Union; that an Investigation
of this character should open the doors
for the fullest light upon the otfi-
cial acts of the defendant. He
would therefore renew his request and
would ask the committee to make an order
upon the Supervising Architect for the pro-
duction of all papers relating to extra work
done by Bartlett, Robbins q Co. uron the
New York postotlice, also copies of all con
tracts made with them.

DORSEY'S SCHEME.


Washington Special to st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Now that the star-route cases have fallen
through it is stated that ex-senator Dorsey
will turn his attention to a scheme once
alluded to in these dispatches that is,
series of libel suits. A year ago Dorsey de-
clared that he should bring suits against the
newspapers which were defaming his name,
and he is now ready to begin. 1t is said that
he has carefully preserved the record of GER
tain prominent newspapers, and has a scrap
book of their news and editorial utterances.
What he wants is damages, and damages in
swell number and amount. He will take the
New York Times, Herald and Sun, the Phil
adelphia Times and Press, and the Washing
ton Star at first, as kind of starter and
gradually work westward, scooping in the

THE UNIoNrowN TRAGEDY.
Petition Asking Young Nuts Release
Incidents of the Shooting.

UN1oNTowN, Pa, June 15.-Quiet reigns
once more in Uniontown. Young Mutt was
visited again to-day, by his mother and two
uncles. Jim, as he is familiarly known,
takes his imprisonment easy and says moth
ing about the tragedy, except to his counsel.
Hon. W, H. Playford is preparing petition,
which will probably be presented to court,
tomorrow, asking the release of Mutt There
is considerable speculation as to what the
conrt will do in the premises. The best le-
gal talenti is at sea concerning the matter.
Subscriptions are being offered, both in I'M
iontown and Pittsburg to meet the expenses
of the defense in court.
Uniontown Specials.
Miss Lizzie said, on being told the news:
"Poor Jim; how wish he had waited for me
to do it,"
1t is the general impression that it will be
very difficult to impanel jury having on it
a single man who would vote for conviction
in any form, and from the beat of the public
pulse at present jury that would convict
young Mutt would meet with the fate of the
Dukes jury, not one of whom has shown
himself in this city since Dukes was set free.
When Hon. T. B. Searight heard of the
shooting he went home crying feeling, no
doubt, that he was in a measure responsible
for the murder, as he prevailed upon Dukes
TO remain in Uniontown and try and brave it
OUT.
Miss Mutt has prepared for publication
statement which will, it is said, incontro-
vertibly prove that the intimation in Dukess
letters are false. The statement was prepared
at the suggestion of DR.. W. L. Case, of Con-
necticut, an intimate friend of the late Cap
tain Mutt. 1t was intended to give the mat
ter to the public on Friday, when the disbar-
ment case was to have been tried, but the I'M
looked-for death of Dukes will make it nee
essary to change the article some. Conse-
quently it will not be published until later.
DIR. Case says the statement will contain a
letter written by Captain Mutt seven days
previous to his death, in which he says his
daughters innocence had been established
by the best possible evidence. 1t is said that
when the Captain was convinced on this
point his indignation at Dukes's course in-
creased to such an extent that he could con-
troll himself no longer, and therefore went to
see him. 1t was at this interview that
Dukes killed him.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Wanting to See the Races-The Strange
 Request of a Star Route Juror-Matters
 of General and Particular Interest.
 WASHINGTON, May 14.-In the Star route trial to-day MT. Wilson continued until re cess. When the court reassembled after recess Mir. o. c. Green, member of the jury, re- presented to the court the desire of himself and most of his feIlow-jurors to change the hours of the session during the remainder oI the present week on account of the meeting of the Society of the Army of the Potomac races. He suggested that the session be from 10 to 2 o'clock without 8 recess. Juror Harrigan complained that such an arrange ment would interfere with his business more than the present plan. Judge Wylie after consulting counsel decided to try the plan uroposed by MT. Green tomorrow. MT. Wilson then continued his address to the jury and had not concluded when the court adjourned.
 A statement prepared at the Postoffice de- partment shows that of the $s, 800, 900 ap- propriated for the compensation of postmas- ters for the current fiscal year $4,69S. .762 had been expended up to December 31st, 1882, leaving but $4, LOO, ,237 to meet expenses for the last half of the year. This amount will be insufficient and it is thought defo- iency will be incurred of about $1,0oo, 900 for this branch of the service.
