In tho routo from Bl. Charles to aroenhorn tho
llrst Imputed fraud was in advertising this
routn at nr miles. Mr. Miner was In thlsclty
nnd mado up his bid from tho data furnlsho I
by lho Government, Tho routo wasoxtendol
to I'uoblo, and tho actual dlttanco U." miles,
but from Bt, Charles to Oreenhoru It was U!
miles less than DO miles. Thero was nothing
to show that olthcr Mr. Minor or tho PostoOlco
Dopnrtmcnt know that tho distance ol tho
routo was less than that advertised.
Oencrnl Henklo road tho regulations ot tho
Department upon tho subject ot dlstanco, and
said Mr. Miner was not to lilamo It tho De
partment nd ertlsod rt twonty-throo mtlo routo
for thlny-llvo miles. It was snld that tho post,
master of Puoblo wroto to tho Dcpartmont and
lnlormodlt ot tho discrepancy In tho number
ot miles, nnd thnt tho Bocond Asslstnne Post.
mnstcr-Oenernl, In order to benollt Miner, did
not ndverttso tho route, but let It run on. Tho
fact was that correspondence ot this descrip
tion went to tho Inspection DMslon, ot which
Mr. Lake was chief! and if thero woro any
laches ho was to blamoi and thero was
IVo l.lleiico to Uliow thnt Ho Hud
liver C'nllol General llrnily's At
tention To It.
How was Genoral Brady to know what
routes Mr. Miner was bidding on or going to
got? It only showed what straws this Inilrm
prosecution seized upon. Tho rulos of tho De
partment sometimes onoratod against tho con.
tractor ana In favor ot tho Oovcrnmont, nnd
then vlco versa. Ho would Bhow how lu tho
routo from Vermilion to Sioux rails tho rulo
oporated sorlously against Mr. Minor. The
probability was that
General Hrmly Never Hcnrd or
Iilieiv ol" This Blatter
until It was found In this lndlctmout.
Ho then took up tho routo from Vormllllon
to Sioux Falls. This routo was advertlsodas
r0 miles, and turned out V.I miles. Dotegatf
Kidder wroto and askod that tho attontlonof
tho Department bo cnllod to It, which was
dono, but no Inotlco was takon of It. Now. if
General Brady know that this routo was 7.!
miles Instead ot fill, why did ho not call John
W. Dorscy, tho contractor's, attoutlon to It, and
not let htm sutler!
Tho Government Got tho Ail-
vnnttisto
ot this dtlfcrcnco.
Gcnetnl Brady orderod Brighton ombracoj
on this routo at an lncroaso ot 610.00 p.T an
num, and Genoral Brady's shave on tho pur
ccntago plan would have been $2,111. Ho
asked It tho Jury supposed that it Gouornl
Brady was gottlng 20 percont for 11,001 con
tracts that ho would lntcresthlmsolt In a llttlo
matter ot Sit) 1)0. Ho did not bellovo any
thing ot tho kind. General Brady made this
older, like all olhors, bellovlng that It was for
tho good and benollt ot the servlco. Many ot
tho ordors had boon mado by Fronch (and
thero was no pretenso that ho was movod to
do eo by any mrrconary consideration what
ever) and they had been Imputed to Oonoral
Brady.
Ocncral Hcnklo thon discussed tho routo
from Canyon City to Camn McUormott which.
In tho division, tall to Miner and Valle. Tho
llrst they beard about this routo was n letter
from tho postmastornt canyon City, July 4,
1878, stating that tho sorvlco had not boon
put on, but It did not mako mu"h dlltorenco,
as owing to tho Indian troublos they could not
get furtbor than Camp Harney, on tho 18th ot
July, two weeks later, General Brady wroto
out to tho postmaster to know It tho contractor
had appeared, ami It not what hail boon dono
looking toward tho putting on ot the sorvlco.
Did Thnt Look much LIUo Consplr.
ncyT
If ho was in a conspiracy with John W. Dor
soy, why did Oenornl Brady wrlto In regard to
theso routes and havo tho lottors on lllo In tho
ofuro showing the contractor's dollnqucncy,
and, as it was his duty to do, compel tho work
to bo dono? Why did hokcop prodding tho
postmaster to post him as to what was bolnr.
I dono and how tho servlco was progressing it
General Brady was Inn conspiracy with tho
contractor ns to tho routo7 Tho records
showed that ho was only performing his duty
nnd had no lntorcst beyond that nnd his con.
duct was entlroly nt vnrlanco with what
should havo boon that of a contractor.
Ho then touchod on tho routn from Tho
Dalles to Baker City which fell to Minor. Tho
Borvlcowas not put on this routo promptly,
and Mrs. Wilson, tho postmistress, mslo a
contract with John Haloy tor temporary sor
) Ico tor $15,500 per nunum, w hllo tuo ot Iglnal
contract was onIy$s,2Sl. Miner put on his
servlco In August aud had to pay tho con
tractor tor temporary servlco at tho rate ot
his contract price.
Tlio Government Lost Nothing;
by It, and was not an Interested party In tho
settlement between tho two contracts.
On this routo for nn additional trip mil ox-
iiedltlou Minor mado tho orfor to curry It tor
ilH.iMB, nnd tho offer was ncceptod, whllo, It
ho hail been allowed tho pro rata expedition,
ho would havo received $51,000. When tho
Increase to Ihroo trips was made tho on
tractor was allowed fill, 081, which was $JO,
000 less than tho law would havo given.
Here, tho counsel Thought, was a chaneo for
General Brady. Ho might havo ha I $31,003

Ho Wiih n lrctfy Consiilrntorl
Ho not only cousplrod ngalnst Iho others, but

tailed to call Miner asldo una tell him by tho
offer ho mado ho was throwing nway $:13,000.
This, General Heuklo said, was tho klud ot

Ho had been dealing with the clrcumstauces
out ot which tho conspiracy was to bo mado
or proven, for It was not prutoudod that thero
was any direct o I Jence. On tho routo Inst
mentioned ho said thnt tho potltlons and Im

of Congress woro six trips por week, or n dally

proper to do so, nnd at llrst Increased It only

milking It a dally service. Subsequently tho
Posiinnster-Genernl cut off ono trip, nnd later
ot Ocucral Brady testored It, This act tho

that Miner trlod to get rldot It. Boono had
said that a white raau had novor gone over It,
as hostile Indians commnndod It. Tho Gov

then read a portion ot tho Postmostor-Oon-cral's

denco to show that tho prosecution know that

but, on tho contrary, Judgo Key's ovldonco
showed thnt ho did not know that ho had bocn
Imposed upon nt all. Bo It was not a question
open for comment to tho jury, and lho Court
could net allow nny further remarks ot that
kind,
Mr, Wilson took an cxcoptl6n to what tho
Court had said.
General Henkle, l'rocceillntr,
said that If tho Court understood him to bo
commenting upon tho ruling ot tho court in
relation to tho testimony ot Judgo Key, tho
Court entlicly misunderstood him. Ho had
supposed thnt ho had the right to icniark upon
Iho nbeeneo ot proof that ho thought that It
was In tho iwwor ot tho Government to pro

ho did not Intend to persist In animadverting
upon a rullngot tho Court to tho Jury.
His Honor was pleased to hoar him disclaim
any such purposo.
General Henklo then went on to say that a
pnrt of this scheme was to show that tho papers
lllcd In tho Department w oio manipulated by
Turner, so as to scak untruly ami;thcroby lm
poso upon tho second Assistant Postmaster
General. It socraoa that tho Oovcrnmont ha 1
conceded I hat Turner did not do theso
things.
Mr. Morrlck said that ho had state I that ho
did not bellovo that Turner wns taken into tho
conspiracy, Dut tho testimony showed that ho
received money tor his delinquencies.
General Henklo roplled that thero was
Not Ono Nclntllla of Testimony
to Bhow that Turner ever received ono dollar
Improperly, Thero was not one lota ot testi

General Brady was to his knowledge false and

Tho question comes back and recurs natn

wnsi Did Oeneral Brady mako theso ordeis
