Star-routes,
Routes on which contracts for carrying the United States mail are made upon bids which do not specify the mode of conveyance, but simply offer to carry the mails regularly, safely, and expeditiously.
Such bids are regarded by the Post-office Department as inferior to those which specify railroad, steamboat, or four-horse-coach conveyance; but as superior to those which specify only horseback carriers.
In 1881 second assistant Postmaster-General Thomas J. Brady, exSenator Stephen W. Dorsey, of Arkansas, and others, were accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States government in the management of these routes.
They were brought to trial June 1, 1882; first trial closed Sept. 11, jury not agreeing; second trial began Dec. 4, 1882, closed June 11, 1883.
Verdict, not guilty as indicted.
