Cloudy Reputation.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-P H. Woodward, an
inspector of the Postofice Department. was ex-
amined by Mr.. Springers committee this morn
ing in relation to the alleged star-route frauds
He described an interview at the White House
between President Garfield, Postmaster general
James and himself, as related by James in his
testimony before the committee, and continued:
Shortly after the engagement of VIM A. Cook
as special counsel in the case, received a sum
mons from President Garfield to be at the White
House at a designated hour. Without much
preface he said that he had sent for me to ask if
l could explain how the appointment came to be
made; that the day before judge of the Su-
preme Court informed him that Cooke was one
of the most disreputable members of the Wash
ington bar and the selection was disgrace to
the administration"
The witness attempted to justify the appoint
ment, but was subsequently informed Cooke was
selling out the government case. In an inter
view with the President, Cooke insisted that i'm
munity should be granted Stephen w. Dorsey
on account of his great service to the Republican
party. In answer l modestly suggested that
penal laws and penitentiaries were not devised

little in the witnesses narrative that differed

interest, was immaterial since the statements of
