no knowledge Of any alterations In the return
from Vernon parish.
Mr.. Field 1t appears the Tilden electors re.
ceived $4,000 votes and the Hayes electors TO-
900 Can you imagine any motive by the friends
of Tilden for destroying votes for Tilden?

board. Witness voted to throw out more than
10000 Tilden We tes. There were Irregularities
in one or two parishes, including Grant, but he
could not say how many Irregularities there
were.
Q-Will you now say that in your opinion
10000 of the votes cast in favor of Tilden were
cast by persons against their will owing to in
timidaton.
Al think there were a hundred votes thus
given.
Witness said in reference to the Vernon par
ish returns that there were appearances of gross
fraud in their being altered, but he believed it
was done without the knowledge of the board,
IN order to throw suspicion on the board.

| the returns of Vernon parish had been altered.
At this point, at the request Of Mr.. Lawrence,
the members of the board were sent for, all but
| Wells appearing, the latter being sick in bed.
