WAMii.NiTON, April 2: In tha Star Poutjury bribery trialto div, defendant, William Dickson, who was foreman of the first jury, was examined. In the course of his examination, he was asked to state why ho charged that Attorney General Brewster was engaged in a conspiracy ngalnst him, and in replyin. to this inquiry said cenaiu persons, w 101 he named, among th?m James R. Yonm whowaä at the tlwe Cüit of the Dapar ment of Justice, told hlt that Bowen (o ' ot the peraons alleged to have approachDickson with the otlVr cf a brib) was fccurdrel anvt contlder.ee man, and tha Yonrg had said he was surprint Bowen had been appointed to position in tbe Department of Justice, that h(Ycung) that he told Brewster Bowen w. not reliable, not to ba believed, aud that would rather take Dickson's word ten timeover thau Bowen'aoaih. Witness said it ibe action of the AUorrey General,- afteledrnlKß the character f the man Bovn ttat convinced him (witness) the Attorut-v (General was a party to the conspiracy; pend irg some dl?cassion between counsel ai tithe re'evancy ot this testimony, Jtuk MicAithnr Interposed an objection to t brircing cf foreign matter into this cu He "said this Is the Ust of a sjriof what may be tern ed State trial, vwhich has been atieuded with wide ppresd Jnterert. It was natural, he sail, that conr.tel thonld becoaie somewhat mblitered, snd that liiere would be a feel-ff amorg th? different portiea that in jumce had been donp thn, but the present ce.se. be. thonebt, could be fairly tried with out brii giue in there matters. He slid a charge of infamous conduct had been niad sgsinst a former Attorney General, a man wno bad hitherto borne a spo less reputation. aLd tnat it la a touiewhat serious matter to
drag into the cse such a charge collatenlly, where it is Impossible to try it and import ble for tbe officer accused to be heard- II addfd the Court would hereafter cadeiyor to exclude such matters. Captain Cnarles E. Henry, who was Marshal cf the District of Columbia during the first Star-route trial, was then callel to tha stand. lie testified that Lamar cam? to his cfijee a day cr two before the jury was impaneled In the first trial and said to him that th Attorney General "vas vry anxious about the Jury, and that the reguUr pane! would probably be exhausted by Chilians?; that the position of the Attorney General in publiclife depended upon a conviction o! the defendants, as he had faken the oilhe on account of thi case, and that he (ths Attorney J saerai) wanted a jury that wou'd be tatisfactcry to th? Government. Ths witness added that Cameron ha i In his laud a slip of paper with four or live namei oa it, and sujejtel to witness that thev wculd make good talesmen.

''Aboat tht peritd of the controversy," siiJ Henry, '2 beeane a litttle excited and a little indisnt.nt, ar d rtfusd fiatly to have anything to dovithit. It Tou'd 'depend, I told him, neon tbe evi lure, sad I would summon good rr. en, good and reputable cilizans " added hn reminded Cameron thata verdict of guilty oblalced under euch circumstances woold be w rihk?3. Conttnuiog, he said Camron tendered him a list of nams, but that Le declined to take it, and in selecting Co talesmen dd rot select any cf thoss waose nances ere brought to hiai by Cameron, tie said also thai, Cameun, when hi tropoMd to him to take as talesman wh'; names he brought, paid: "The old iiim," meaning Attorney General Brewster, woild protect him if he would him through tae trial. On cross-examination by counsel for the Government, witness admitted th.tt he bad not reported this conversation to the Court at the time of its occurrence, bat said he wrote a letter to Senator Kellogg detailing the facts, and that he aleo aiked Spjingf.r, when his courjaiibae was in jession, for an opportunity to 09 heerd as a witness during the investigation of the department of justice. Continuing Ids explanation, ho said: "Here was a grat dPiartHient of government cn ona sid, while 1 wa single-handed, and alone I waited patiently until I roul appear hr. U re a proper body and under oath. Springer's reply to my request to be heard was, we will com to that by and by; bat they never carre to it." Witness said hi3 letter to Kellog was short, and contained the statement that the Attorney General was intoxicated at an interview ?rhich witness had with him. Hers witness was checked by ths Court. He si1 he had brittly stated in the letter that the General Agent oT the departtneut had mdt the proiiosition described. Ptrceival A. Kennedy, of Philadelaai, was the next witnfss. Ho testified he wa employed about the court in tbe Star Riat9 tria's. He Fs"i'ho was asked by Cameron in interview Dickson as to hl3 views, to find out what Dickf ou's opinions were. He said he thought about it and went to th Attorney General and told him what Bretter Cameron had asked him to do, and that trio Attorney General emphatically forbade htm doing anything of the kind. He said that subsequently he made two statements whica were teken down by 8?encgraphsrs, oae to tbe Attcrny General tetting forth that he bad forbidden, and one in the presence of R'Awster Cemeron denying what he has tas tified to day. He kd by the connssl way he made denial for Cameron, and replied that he thought if he didn't do it he won!d lose his position.

The medical stall" has alwa s maintained tba: the atrcint of the General' constitntional depression was out of all proportion to the extent of the local disease; that tbe latter of iiseli would not be the cauf-e of death unUss by the atcidental erosion of a Jargo artery or possible (trangulatlon from the sudden Feparatioa of tLe klough. At one timo only did death s-iem immincut from general exhaustion and threatened heart failure, and but for timely assistance would probably have occurred.
