THE sTAR-RoUrE TRIAL.
The Question of Brady's Motives-Views of
the Presiding Judge.

the Presiding Judge.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-With to-day be-
gan the sixteenth week OF the star-route
trial, and the Criminal Courtroom was filed
with spectators.
When the court adjourned Friday last the
prosecution had just closed their preliminary
argument upon the pertinency of the ques-
ton as to whether or not the witness (Gen-
eral Brady had any knowledge of the Price
drafts This is regarded as an important
point by both sides, for if the question is adj
mitted it will probably lead to the admission
of testimony by Price in support of the gov
ernments charge. The court in answer to
a question from Merrick, said it would allow
the government an opportunity to reply to
the arguments of the defense.
Turning toward the court, General Brady
said positively: Your Honor would pre-
Ter to answer that question, and all other
similar questions; my lawyers and myself do
not seem to have taken the same ground"
Mr.. Merrick was of the opinion that wit
ness might answer without reference to his
lawyers. The court, however, said it would
hear his lawyers instead of him.
Mr.. Ingersoll-Of course, Your Honor,
this is no question of privilege, but of
relevancy, and my client is interested.
Mr. Wilson said that if the matter were
