iut Msi,r ODri,coll believed they were all actual

in Kentucky; was present every hour in the day;
made it my business saw no arns under the house;
they might be there, but it was unbeknow-t to me ;
witless vas Judge Of the election, tGen WhitheIds $
eleo,io p October l. 1883; there war some sixty odd
Pro-Slsvery votes thrown, and recognized them as
ell residents Of the country; there was one case OF
dispute; Mr. X. Smith was objected to bekase he
had property in Missouri; as Judge Of the election
recognized him as a voter having property there
and I'd know him to ate, drink and sleep in it; not
man of the Free State party came to vote that day;
each nan who voted paid dollar, or showed re-
ceipt from the Sheriff for one.
