 In For the Defence-The RebuttaI Be-
 gun.
 WASHINGTON, April 12-James A. Waugh was the first witness in the Star route trial to-day. He identified Miners writing of six names appended to the petition which Miner is alleged to have written and signed. Mir. John Prior, record clerk of the Pacific sec- ton in the Postmaster Generals department, produced sub contract book showing the record of the entire 132 routes, including the nineteen in the indictment. Objection was made and sustained Mir. Chand- Ter offered portion of Gen. eral Brady's testimony given before the Congressional investigating committee for the purpose of sustaining statement made by General Brady on the witness stand. Objection was made. His honor held that the testimony was incompetent MT. Chan ller offered in evidence what happened be- tween the court and jury at the time of the rendering of the verdict and it was ruled out by the court c. H. Morgan, Journal clerk in, the Postofice department, produced the official journal and showed an order made on July 10, 1879, on the route from Kearney to Kent for an increase,of trips and at a less sum than pro rata. Other records for increase and expedition were read from the journal. Some of them were found to be signed by D M, Key, James W. Tyner and Thomas L. James, After some unimportant testimony Colonel Ingersoll announced that as far as John w. Dorsey and s. w. Dorsey were concerned they were through. General Henkle said that so far as John R. Miner and H. M. Vail were con- cerned the case was through. Judge Wilson said as to General Brady they rested his case. The government then commenced it's rebut- tai by calling Messrs. Casey and Brown and Miss Day, telegraph operators in New York, who testified to the destruction of all de- spatches after they were kept six months. The court then adjourned.
 MT. Merrick of government counsel char acterizes as untrue the published statement that he was prevented from sharply cross examining Senator Dorsey because of threats of personal violence. Ex-Senator Dorsey is also out in card which justifies his conduct in kicking MT. Lilly down his steps into the street and says Lilly endeaV- ored to levy blackmail.
