ted as ticket holder at the first precinct Of JET
fefson Ward. Richmond, at the recent election,
was before Justice White, Of that City, for vio-
lating the following, the 5lst Sec of chapter 8
OF the Code of Virginia, which is as follows:
ssWhoevcr furnishes an slector, who cannot
read the language in which such ballot is prin-
ted or written, with a ballot, Informing him
that it contains a name or names different from
those which are written; or printed thereon,
with all intent to deceive, and induce him to
vote contrary to his inclination, or who fraud
ulently or decetfully changes ballot of all
clector, by which such elector is prevented
from voting for such candidate or candidates
as he intended, shall be deemed guilty OF a
felony, and oil conviction thereof shall be pun
islied by imprisonment in the penitentiary not
less than six months nor more than two
years."
+ The prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Cabcll, not
being present, Jno. S. Wise conducted the
prosecution, and the accused was defended by
Bradley I. johnson, :.!ld retinuc OF Conserva-
tive lawyers. It appeared, in evidence, that
Morrison had issued tickets representing them
as Starke and Knight tickets, when they real
~ had johnson and Tanners names OH them
thus perverting the purpose of tho voter. 1t
was clearly established that such was the fact,
and the Justice sent the accused on for indict-
ment, allowing bail i'll the sum Of $1,000, with
Bradley r. johnson as security.
:. III this connection, We will state that notice
Of cont..t has already been served oil Johnson

The evidence WIS by no means conclusive to
