several years the combination had stolen from the government about half a million of dollars year. The sphere of operation covered 135 mail routes. On April 20, 1881 Assistant Postmaster General Brady resigned his office. At the first trial. in March. 1882, the jury disagreed. and there were no convic- tions at the second trial. This second trial continued for seven months, be- ginning in December, 1882. and ending June 15, 1883. with the acquittal of Dorsey, vaile and Miner
 This famous trial was held in the Old District Court. Judge Wylie had charge of the case. The members of
 the jury that failed to convict the Star
 Route ring on it's first trial were ac-
 cused by the prosecution of having
 been pribed by the defense, and the defendants in return averred that the government had offered bribes for their conviction.
 At the second trial the jury was out two full days before they acquitted those against whom conspiracy had been charged. The verdict was a gen.
 uine surprise. and there were charges on all sides of irregularity. but noth- ing further came out of it. It was the longest trial on record and the expenses for the government alone were five hundred thousand dol
 lars. Other indictments were held against Brady. but he was never again placed on trial.

STAR ROUTE TRIALS

Directly after the Hon. Thomas l.. James assumed the position Of post master general of the United States in the cabinet of President Garfield, he discovered a great amount of extrava- gance, and probably fraud, in the con- duct of the mail service known as the Star Routes These routes were au- thorized by congress to further extend the mail facilities and promote the more rapid carriage of the mails. They proved to be very popular in the west and southwest. and the growing de- mand for mail facilities in these sec tions would even in a legitimate way. if not closely watched, lead to unusual cost and extravagance; but 1t was al- legged that ring was formed, headed by one of the assistant postmaster routes were established with the sole view of defrauding the government. and that large sums were paid for lit- tie or no service
 The name Star" route arose from the use of a star on the map to indi- cate these routes. The scandal was at it's height when President Garfield was General James and Attorney General MacVeagh, as well as others. were rap- idly preparing for the prosecution of all charged with the fraud.
 Upon the accession of President Arthur. he openly insisted upon the fullest prosecution. and declined to re- ceive the resignation of Mir. MacVeagh cution would suffer by his withdrawal. Eut MacVeagh withdrew and the presi- dent appointed. Attorney General Brewster in his place who pushed the prosecution with all the power of his office.

Henry M Vaile, John w. Dorsey. John R. Miner | John M. Peck. M. C. Berdell. J. L. San- derson and William H. Turner, as well as several others for perjury.
 The indictment set out that the par ties above named did unlaWfully and maliciously combine and conspire to fraudulently write, sign and cause tt
