took the stand and testified that he was, in
1876, Judge Of the Third district court of
Louisiana. He stated on reply to Gov.
Cox that some time in November of that
year the protest drawn up by Anderson was
shown him by Marshal Pitkin He gave
his opinion that the document was informal
and furnished blank protest which he
had prepared for the use of supervisors of
elections. Shortly after he was informed
that Anderson desired to swear to protest,
and that his presence was requested in Mr..
Pitkin's office. The witness went TO Mr..
Pitkin's office, when Anderson made some
objection as to some of the facts stated in
the protest. The witness told Anderson
that he must judge of that himself, and to
take time to consider and then left He
has no distinct recollection of administer
ing an oath to Anderson; never affixed his
jurat to an affidavit in any instance in
which the party making it did not appear
before him. If document were shown
the witness bearing his genuine signature
and jurat he should feel satisfied that he
had administered the oath. Judge Camp
bell stated that he had very distinct re-
collection of the presence of Thomas III.
jerks in Mr.. Pitkin's room at the time
Anderson made the affidavit.
On cross-examination Judge Campbell
stated that he did not prepare the second
protest himself, but some one else did it at
his direction, hence he did not know what
were the exact contents Of the paper, but
thought there we're some blanks in it. lie
also said that all the .orms of supervisors
protests contained clause setting forth
that the reason why the protest was not
attached to the returns was because it
would not be safe to do 80. He was intro
duced to MIR. Sherman after the latter's
arrival in New Orleans, but the Anderson
protest never formed part of conversation
between them, or between the witness and
Mr.. Stougliton, or Gen. White, or Gen.
Garfield. He said Mr.. Pitkin told him
that Anderson wanted to withdraw his pro-
test but could not get it. This was before
the returning board had acted.
The witness believed the reason why
Anderson was DESTROYS to withdraw his pro-
test was because he had become dissatisfied
with the party, and had not derived suffi-
cient assurances of being provided for. He
had not much conversation with Mr.. Sher-
man or any of the other visiting statesmen.
They conferred mostly with more important
and influential members of the party than
the witness was.
Gen. Butler-Do you think Anderson
was more important member of the party
than youl A.-Well, | don't know. He
was supervisor, but hardly think he was
a more important factor.
Mr.. Potter-Anderson was supervisor of
East Feliciana, was he not! Ayes.
Q.-And upon East Feliciana principally
depended the election, did it notl A
Largely.
Q.-Then it was of the greatest impor-
lance whether or not Anderson would make
protest! Al suppose SO.
