noon session-Exam of
Senator Kellogg resumed: The
witness, answering questions, said,
Governor Packard visited East
Feliciana shortly before the cleo
tion and told witness that 1t would
probably be lost to the Republicans
through intimidation. 1t was re-
ported that many negroes, with q
band and flag, enthusiastically
voted the Democratic ticket there.
Witness did not know this. 1t
may have been q fact that Repub-
licans stood around the polls and,
when Invited to vots, refused be-
cause they had no printed tickets.
Anderson was tho only man who
said to the Democrats that If they
conciliated the negroes their parish
would be thrown out. Anderson
protested according to fact and, al
though he now denies it, yet he
| nevertheless did make protest
and his deuial is probably made
for consideration. Witness ex-
p!ained at length the objects which
intimidators hoped to gain and said
| they were determined to overcome
the negro majority as it had been
overcome in other cities. They en-
| deavored to conciliate in some in
stances but their conciliation was
usually of the shotgun kind.
After much more questioning,
during which few facts were elicit
ed, the Committee adjourned till
July 23d, to meet at Atlantic City,
New Jersey.
