To Hcnr Colonel lllirorsnll.
Ills argument ot yesterday Is concedod lo havo
Ijccii ono Jlint could not bo surpassod nnd Ins
rarely been equalled, and he has bcou compli
mented upon all sides tor tho ability and
torco Ulsplavcd. Tho mombers ot tho bar
without exception pronounco It a brilliant
effort and ono ot tho most masterly over niado
ton jury,
1'urtlicr It Is said that ho has so completely
and thoroughly torn tlio Indictment to pieces
that tho Attorncy-aenoral will llud trouble In
patchlnglt sufficiently to hold to tho closo ot
his address, It Is believed that Colonel In
ccrsoll has put upovon tor Mr. Browstor nn
unansw crablo argument.
Tho counsel for tho defense wero In Court
early and tho Jury in tho box cm time, and tlio
special prosecutors eamo last as usual.
Ills Honor was behind time, nnd It was ton
minutes alter 10 o'clock betoro ovcrythtng was
In readlnoeB for tho argument to procood.
Colonel Ingorsollsald that It appearod rrom

that Mr. S. W. Dorsey mndo a statement to tho
Attorney (loneral and Postmaster ci onoril bo

did not know what becarao ot It. Ho did not
Intend to say what was In that xtaiomont.
"It IUIkIiI Ifnvo Ilccu n Cofifcsiloii
lor all tho Court know." said tlio Judgo.
" II It had been a coutcsslon they would havo
had It here," quickly answorod Colonel lugor
soli. " Undoubtedly," replied His Honor.
"It was sufficient to show to this Jury that
tho Btntemcnt was not prodticod, and I can
arguoto amoral certainty if that statement
had been contlrmod by proor it would Iinvo
been pioduced In tho case," said Colonel In
gcrsoll, "But that Is arguing on
Viicuum JVutliiuiii"
replied tlio Court.
"Then lam only stating tho foundation ot
this prosecution v acuuni," shot back colonel
Ingorsoll.
Tho counsellor thou procoedod toarguo tlio
counts delicti, and Insisted that thoro must bo
apurposoto commit crlrao betoro ItcDiild bo

action established conspliocy. It 0110 ot theso
partlos mado a bid, tho Department and tho
man had to net together until tho contract
closed, and that being so, it did not follow that
thoro was any Impropor understanding bo
tweeu tho partlos, and Hint concurrence In ac

Tlio l'crjurcr Pulverized.

Bankers and brokeis, ns a rule, did not loan
money without taking ft note, aud tho less
money they havo tlio more soeurlty thoy
wanted, Bankers nud brokors did not loan
money on notes without Interest. Thoy did
not loan on notes pnyablo on domand, for thoy
wero not negotiable. Ho would not loan J12,

tho statement that n- rich man borrowed

It was an linprobablo thing, and ho did not
bellovo that any person would glvocrodtt to it.
All that ho had said In regard to Walsh ap

Tho noxt chargo was extravagance, now did

show that these routes could hav 0 boon carrlod

Tho Attnrucy-fJcucrn!
entered Hie courtroom at la t in, haling lutho
mcnntlmo been homo nnd change 1 his coat.
Shortly nlterwnrd Mr. Bliss eamo In. Mr.
Brewster arranged his bxiks nud ptporsnnd
commenced speaking n tow mlnutos ntter 1
o'clock,
Uo said that It was now about oue yoar since
ho had beourotnlned lutho case. When llrst
nAkcd, It was his Impiesslon that ho could not
enter Into It, but ho dually detormliied that ho
would tako chargo ot tho caso It upon Investi
gation It wns such n onoas warranted prosecu
tion. Ho then reviewed the progress In tho
caso from tho llmoot tho nilng or iho Infor
mation. Ho enld that It sconnd to htni that It
was an Investigation that should havo been
courted by tho defendants. Thoy eatd that
they wanted to bo tried by adraad andTra
verso Jury, nnd they would dctond themselves,
It had reached a petit jury nnd they had a
trial nml ho wished tho jury to say whether
tho defendants had given
Tlio Wholo Truth or Xol.
How had this indictment been mot ? Uy
earplug, nnd up to tho closing nddress
thcro had boen nothing out attacks upon tho
Indictment by technicalities. They had not
nppenred beforo tho Jury llko lunocont man
and told nil they know.
Ho was In tho caso ami beforo tho Jury to seo
fair play, Iho Uovernmont did not want to
see any innocent man com tctod. It they woro
not guilty, then iho Jury should nay so, but It
guilty, then tho lury should return n verdict
against them. Tho people lookod to tho Jurors
to do their duty and oxpectod that thoy would.
IIo was said to havo

tho nssnssln ot tho President or thu Unltod

show thnt there wero set eral procodonts for his
action.
His place was thoro becauso ho wished to seo
Justice dono, nud w ould seo it douo or
Surrender Ills Ofllcc.
Tho reason was that ho startod tho caso, and
knew nil about It trom beginning to ond, nud
invited all Into it except Mr. Bliss. Ho was
determined that there should be none ot tint
loul clement In It called politics. It should
bo prosecuted ptolonojmbhco.
Ho Sloppod loug enough to
Polish Sir. Illlss Oir
with nattering w ords for tho mannor in which
ho had porlormcd his Ben Ice, and thon went
back to onco moro explain w liy ho was prosont
participating In tho case. It took nearly three
iiunrtcis or nn hour tor htm to got through
this explanation to his Batlslactloii.
Tlio J ury had boen told, ho said, that ho did
not know tho case. Night by utglit and day oy
day ho had traveled with this caso anl kuow
nil nbeut It.
Ho had ngrccd Willi Mr. Merrick as to tho
action taken lu regard to Mr. Turnor, but
when ho saw him sitting with tho otliers, aid
Ing them, ho felt that his coudttct was out
rageous and
Itesrotted Thnt 11 Concession
had been mado In his cose. Ho agrood with
what Colonel Ingersoll said, that if the de
fendants wero Innocent they should bo ac
quitted, but It guilty, then convict them.

Tbo Attorney General then treated tho Court
and Jury ton dissertation on tho law, and Un
lehlng that said that this was a
l'roscciition ror Conspiracy.
That was a peculiar otronse. It roaulrod
skill, logic and nicety to set It forth In un in.
dlctment. To com let a man of conspiracy was
a very different thing to do.
Judges thcmselv os got lestless ns tho case

ns it conios, knows Its force nnd urges his
couneel to light It. But
It Outliers ns It icons,
until It becomes as clear and whlto as snow,
bolnthlscnse. It wont on until tho Court
wokoupto tho fact and told tho Jury that
thcro wns something tor them to pass upon,
nnd ho would not ontertatn tho demurrer ot
tho defense to tho ovldence.

Thoro wns not ono conspiracy In a ltuudrod
thousand thnt tho mon woro caught together.
But In this Instnnco tho proiocutlou wero
rortunnto in catching them nil at Dorsoy's
house. Ho tad never had such a torluuato
experience In nil his practice.
Ho then returned to tho lawroiulrln; tho
contracts for this sorrlco to bo mado, nud
claimed that It had been tinnipled under root.
Ho thought It was lomnrknblo that of nil tno

Ho maintained that whctl tho Court decided
In this caso lh.it thoro was sunielunt to go to
tho Jury that tho burden nt proof roll upau tho
other sldo to show their Innocence.
Who Wero Theso DcrduitiintH?
Men who understood mall-earrylug aud fol
lowed It? Hero was John W. Dorsey, n tin

about 1)10 ionics lutho far Wostt ho It was
with tho rest ot them. Who was S. W.Doisoy!
Originally, ho was ft hotiso-palutor, thon he
went Into isjlltles and becamo n bouator. How

needed mnuy men nud may bids to accomplish
Ho then w cut on to argue that Mr. S. W. Dor

When this case opened Iho counsel tor Mr.
