THE sTAR-uOUrE PROSECUTION
CASE,
Attorney General 1acvengh Goa
tinues his TcsumUuy.


WASHINGTON, d. g., March s. 49, Ex-
| Attorney General MacVcagh continued his
testimony to-day before the Springer COM
mittec. The Star-route prosecution, he said,
was a source of anxiety and he might say
distress to Garfield. 1t was understood that
| President Garfield favored prosecution
| in the courts Other methods, however, OF
correcting the wrongs they were pursuing
were suggested. Dorsey asked witness if
he proposed to disregard the wishes Of the
| President Witness answered that he had
no Knowledge that the President wished any
other method of procedure than that in the
ordinary channel. The witness spoke of the
efforts made by those implicated in the Star
route frauds TO Lave hir removed from the
Cabinet; but until the death Of President
Garfield he thought it his duty to re-
msin. lie said the efforts had been made
to turn.him out on the ground of base conduct,
Of being intimidatcd and that he had been
engaged III plot to steal papers sent to the
President. The President had declined to
receive such charges az they had been made
by Rerdcll.
"Where did he land at last ?" asked Mr..
Springer.
piled Mr.. Stewart.
Tie witness said there was demand fOr
him to remain in the cabinet and be respon
siblc for the prosecutions. 1t was claimed
he was running away, when there were four
special counsel employed in the cases quite
as many as could be useful to the depart
mcnt of justice. Witness thought he was
leaving the cases in safe hands. The change
in the attitute of these gentlemen as to his
being in the Cabinet, witness said, was APP
parent to him. He was in political sympathy
with President Garfield and in opposition to
Arthur in those questions which divided the
Republican party. These gentlemen, said
the witness, must have seen that, the ProSi-
dent who had called me here and bad sus
tanned me under great obliquy and abuse in
these projections being now dead and buried,
| was in no position whatever to bring
to these cases the requisite moral
support. Witness denied that President
Arthur at Cabinet meeting ever took him
to task, and said there was nothing but the
kinditst feeling between the two.
Witness spoke of the relations # Corkhill,
United States District attorney TO the Star
route prosecutors and said that the night be-
fore Garfield was shot the matter CT Cork
hills removal was discussed. Witness after
ward spoke to President Arthur about it
nuI lHc TcslutHJ thought IL upJ MS NHlN
remove him until Guiteau was tried. He
never WAS entrusted" said the witness "with
anything of the Slar-roue cases he was
never allowed to know anything about The
cases" Witness thought the amount Of the
expenses reasonable for the work done. In
relation to the rep rt that Garfield had pro
posed his removal from the Cabinet witness
said, Il had no reason to doubt from the
moment | cuttre1 his Cabinet till he died lut
that had his confidence to the fullest ex-
lCUt.

WHO HEuUCEp TssE LETTER
rONEAGE
EN Senator Spencer Thinks he should
Have the Credit.

WAsnINGroN, d. c., March 7.-Ex-Scna-
tor Sprnccr was examined TO day by the
| Sirlngcrcommittee. "In January, 1884," he
saih, l went to New York and while
walking in Broadway met Colonel James,
then Postmaster. H. asked me to accom-
pany Inn to his Office, which | did, When
he told me he wanted to go Into Garfeld's
Cabinet as Postmastcr-General, and asked
me to lid him. l said | would, and after
wards did render him what aid | could.
When he had been appointed Postmaster
General | said to him that he had an oppor-
tuuity that few men had in life time, to
make great reputation. He asked how.
replied that he could make the postofiice de-
partment self sustaining the first year and
the next year he could reduce the postage TO
two cents. Howl he again asked. by
| breaking up the Star-route ring | replied.
l took pledge from him that what | said
should be strictly confidential Afterwards
| went to President Garfield and received a
pledge from him that what | should say
to the Postmaster General should be conf
dental. 1t was at my suggestion
that Woodward was selected 10 take charge
of the investigation. ! remained in Wash
ingtOn three months, most of the time get
ting up evidence for the Sar-route cases.
| Ex-senator Spencer said be finally made
up his mind that beyond saving the govern
ment two or three millions year, the inves-
tigation would be a failure. The service
would be reformed, but there was no evil
dence by which a conviction could be OBJ
tanned. Receiving no pay for what | was
doing, paid little attention to the subject
and went to Nevada" Witness said of his
own knowledge he knew of no material fact
that would be admitted as evidence that
would tend to convict. This fact was
stated to Geo. Bliss through Secretary
Chandler Witness said he did not tell
James that Brady had visited his room and
taken an envelope containing $4,000 or $1,000
left by Dorsey. James was mistaken. They
had talked so much about the Star-routt
investigation that James may have 20
things mixed.
