asked the person living there which candidate on
the Presidential ticket he gong to vote for and
that when he replied for seymour they set to
work and dubbed him very seriously. At the time
Of the occurrence considerable excitement was
caused thereby and both officers were "hauled over
the coals at police headquarters and were severed
from the force Both were indicted IN the Court
OF Oyer and Terminer; out the men have, somewhat
strangely, never been punished for the offence. On
