As to the present question the court was clear that it Is not a question affecting the issue of the case otherwise than collaterally?for the purpose, in one view, of enabling the Jury to ascertain the weight to be given the evidence of the witness on tne stand, and his relation to subjects under investigation. The court quoted from Walsh's testimony that Brady had told him he might have divined from the Price and Petersen drafts what Brady's custom as to orders for expedition was. Brady in his testimony denied ever having had any such conversation with Walsh. There was direct conflict between the statements of the witness. The question now was whether with the purpose of affecting the credibility, or memory, or enlightening the relations between these two men, the prosecution can question the witness on the stand as to matters in dispute between himself and Walsh. The court had no doubt the question could be put The question on Its race was an innocent one. It was admitted as an inquiry in regard to a collateral matter. Mr. Brady then took his place on the stand. mr. BRA0T'8 denial. Mr. Bliss repeated the question and Mr. Brady denied that he had ever given tlie draft in question to Walsh, or that he had ever seen It before the last trial. Mr. Bliss then submitted to h!m the other Price draft of the same date (July 13,1S80,) and the witness made the same reply as to that The witness said that the par value of the Chattanooga stock he wanted to borrow from Walsh was $30,000, and It was then selling at from 121,000 to $24,000. Witness did not remember when the stock was bought He knew It was bought, because Walsh visited witness at Hatch & Foote's, in New York, to ask witness if It was a good purchase. Walsh bought it on the spot, through Hatch & Foote, giving his check. Witnesses' object In borrowing the stock was simply to control it At that time witness had some shares of Chattanooga. He probably had 3,000 lull shares of Chattanooga, and possibly more. Witness was asked if he were not the v. trying to borrow from Walsh unon his obligations what was worth $21,000 or $24,000 tn the market "I was trying to borrow 300 shares of Chattanooga stock," said the witness. "Well, that was what it was worth at that time, was it not?" inquired Mr. Bliss. "That," said Mr. Brady, "was what we thought It was worth. The trouble was, that whenever we tried to sell It would run down." The witness said he did not know who owned the house where Gen. Sheridan lived on E street WALSH'S SUIT AGAINST BRADY. The witness said there was now a civil suit of Walsh's pending against him to recover money alleged to have been loaned him. He entered this suit In May, 1831, about the time the Po*t Office department was making sweeping remiss ous of fines and deductions witnes3 had impo^-d upon Walsh. Witness denied that Walsh had ever made a demand upon him for money alleged to have been loaned, except through his attorney. He first made a demand In May or June, 1681, through Mr. Totten by letter. BRADY DENIES THE CONVERSATION WITH RKRDELL. Mr. Bliss, after questioning the witness as to various things connected with the methods of business in his office, and as to the reasons for ! passing certain orders, read the letter ; which R?>rdell testlQed he sent to Bosler, Mav 221, j 1880,stating among other things that ha had had a ! long conversation with Brady that day concerning the pending star route investigation. The wltnoss denied that he had ever had such conversation with Rerdell as was there described. Cross-examination was In progress when our report closed. Brady and Walsh* BRADY EXPLAINS THE MEANING OF THE "GINGER" LETTER?THE PRICE DRAFTS AGAIN. After The Star's report of ihe star route trial closed yesterday, the ^ross-examlnation of Mr. Brady, with the incidental argument^Was continued until the adjournment of the court at 4 o'clock. The witness and he had frequently had conversations with Walsh at Gen. Sheridan's house on E street but repeated his denials of ever having borrowed money from him or held such a conversation as Walsh had detailed. He said Walsh offered frequently to lend him money. He admitted in the case of the MacDonough route that after MacDonough failed, he offered the service to the bondsmen at the price of the original service without the expedition, and then let It to Walsh by private contract, and soon after re-increased ana re-expedlted it He admitted having written the famous letter to Walsh asking him for the loan i of his (Walsh's) Chatt, stating that h? was in need of "ginger," and that though buying newspapers, a part of a mine, running the lumber business, Ac., he was a little cramped. The examination upon this letter created considerable amusement "You said." said Mr. Bliss, reading irom the letter, "you are in need of 'ginger;' what Is 1 'ginger?'" , "I was a little hard up Just then," said the wit- i ness. 4 } "Did you mean money?" asked Mr. Bliss. ! "I meant, what I said," answered the witness. 1 "Was Chattanooga 'ginger?'" inquired Mr. i Bliss. i "That was 'ginger' in that case," said the wit- i ness. " 'Ginger.' then, is a generic term, is It not?" 1 'You will have to consult the dictionary." i The witness was asked what newspapers he re- 1 ferred to as having bought and he replied the < Sational Republican. i Mr. Bliss called attention to the fact that he 1 used the word "newspapers," and Mr. Brady re- t piled ,"We expected then to make It as good as s two." Afterwards he said he had furnished ] Buell money then to buy the Capital and stlfl had ] his newspaper in Indiana. He had not at that < time advanced any money for the Critic. 1 Mr. Bliss further remarked, upon the letter, i "You were a little cramped and took 'ginger' for ? It?" ?'Ginger,'I believe," said the witness, "Is good . lor the colic." 1 The witness denied ever having had any trans- 1 action with Walsh In consequence of which $10,000 s or $13,000 was deposited by W?lsh to his credit 1 Mr. Bliss then handed the witness one of the so- t called Price drafts, and asked him If he had not 1 given it to Walsh. \ This provoked an argument as to the admlssl- I blllty of the question, which consumed the re- i malnder of the session. 1 Reunion of Veterans.?CoL and Mrs. Young gave a reception last evening at their rooms, 809 E street, to the resident survfRng members of t Young's Kentucky Light cavalry, afterwards < the 3d Pennsylvania cavalry.

The district attorney replied as follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yonr letter of the 15th iuataut, delivered to me by Mr. Jotin W.

I know that there is no need of additional assurance from m? that everything will be done by my oAoe, and by myaelf peraonally. to carry out effectually aud fully your poaitive instructiona to prosecute, with the utmoat vijror. the pending indictmeute against the late detective officers of thia District.

In the preparation of the*e cases alone my assist inta were compelled to work not only all day, but frequently all uifht.

In view of these facts 1 have tne honor to make the following request: 1. The chairman of the citizens' committee informs me that Mr. H. H. Wells has been the counsel of the committee; that he has personally examined all the witneaaes, prepared their statements, and riven legal op ni' iis upon all the testimony taken by the committee; I think that I should base the benefit of Mr. Well*' familiarity with the case# and thus save again going over the ground already traversed by him. I therefore request that he be api>ointt?d a si-ecial assistant district attorney for thia District to aid in the trial of these cases, at such rate of compensation aa the Attorney General may determine. 2. That 1 be allowed the appointment of an additional clerk to aid in the detail of the pre|>aration of these cases for trial and to assist the counsel during ttie trial, and for this service I would name Mr. Fra ,k Irvine, who has heretofore been employed in my office and familiar with the duties required. The compensation cf thia clerk should be at le-at at the rate of $1,6o0 per annum. 3. I ask that I be authorized to employ detective, whose name for prudential r-asoua 1 do notwiah to submit in writing, but will Kive to yon peraonally. and who shall render all necessary services In the way of hunting up witnesses, and, acting under my direction aud the authorization of the marshalof this District, shall bring about the arrest of |?rso:i* now under Indictment iu connection with these cases.

( The case of Jansen (Vigo Jansen Ross), charged i with having stolen the body of the executed < murderer 8haw from potter's field, came up In the ] Bpeclal Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, to-day, on ' appeal from the sentence of the Police Court, , which sent the accused to Jail for a year. ' testimony for the prosecution. ( The execution of Shaw and the burtal of the ] body was proved; also the fact that the body was subsequently identified at the medical college. John Mack, the hackman, testified that on the morning of January 281 Ross (Jansen) engaged ] his hack; that he drove Jansen and another p r- ' son, who got In at 7th and Pennsylvania avenue, J by the former's order to 10th and F streets, 1 and then to Howard University, stopping at 1 several places to take drinks. At Howard Cnlver- J sity Jansen went Into the building, and while { waiting Tor him witness' attention was attracted { by some passing colored men asking, "What is 1 that in the hack?" Witness then discovered the 1 l>ody In the vehicle, and, falling to find Jansen, J Irove to the police station. On cross-examination J witness admitted that he was drunk, but declared } lie did not assist Jansen to bring the corpse out ot 1 the college; didn't go to potter's field, and never * iaw the body until he was at the university. Dr. * Furmtin J. Shadd, surgeon at Freedman's hos- J pital, testified that on the morning named he was J called out by Jansen, who said he had Shaw's * body, but witness told him he didn't want 1L sergeants Saffell and .Redway testified to havingscen lansen and Mack at the police station, together with the hack and the corpse Inside of it Lieut, t Johnson testified that after Jansen was locked up v tie admitted that he got the body from the col- o ege, 10th and E streets. Jacob smith met Jan- a sen. who was drinking, on Jinuary 23d, and the * atter said he had taken up Shaw's body and had s iaken out the brain. Wm. Heck saw Jansen at g ;he same time, and heard him say he had taken Q ip the body and had left the shoes at the poor- 4 louse. Jansen told him he could make money by fa getting up "stiffs." Both these witnesses saw o )lood on J ansen's clothes. p FOB THE DEFENSE. 0 Mr. Mayne, for the defense, said he proposed to thow that Jansen got the corpse at the medical allege, where It, in pursuance of 8haw's dlrec- e ,lons before death, had been taken for dissection; -hat he would snow that Shaw had willed his o jody to science. . ei The court refused to allow testimony as to w whether Shaw had willed his body for dissection. Testimony going to show tfeat Jansen was author- C zed by the health office to" remove and bury in $: rotter's field debris from Georgetown medical colege was also ruled out. Dr. Harrison Crook, demonstrator of anatomy it Georgetown college, testified to having seen n Shaw's bpdy on the dissecting table there; the ti xxty was the property of the college, but he de- r ;llned to state how it was procured, on the ground iiat he might criminate himself. He also, de- h dined to state whether or not he saw Jansen at b Jhaw's grave. Messrs. Buchanan, Danforth and tfuncaster, students at the college, saw the body e n the dissecting room and beimr dissected, but a Udnt know how It got there. Dr. Crook being b ecalled, said, in reply to the question "how much Ud Jansen receive for the body?" "As near as I can U emember the whdle thing amounted to $82;" that o was paid him for the body. Witness would not si xplaln how the body was procured. .Here a re- u ?S8 was taken. After recess Mr. Mayne asked a ruling as to the ol lates, stating the charge waa that the body was ot lug up on January 22d, when the ifrooC was that y he body was in the medlca^oUege on the SOth. The court ruled that the ffltormation was good, tl The case was briefly aigued to the Jury. tl CMABGB OF TO COURT. hi The court, la charging the Jury, said that this iffense was a high misdemeanor.
