Now for illegal voters: Richard Van, sew
eral years ago, resided, was registered and
voted in Nevada County, California, and his
name has ever since remained upon the
Great Register of that county, as have also
the names of hundreds of others, long since
dead At the general election in 1875, Van
was a resident of and voted in Genoa pre-
cnct, and has never since lost such residence
The only time he has been absent from this
State was when he went to Mud Springs for
his little girl in February, 1873. At this
time he left his horse in Pasture with Boles,
in Carson Valley, and his personal effects
with Peter Lessenberg, in Genoa, to be kept
for him until his return, which he told Boles
would be in about two months Van testl-
ties that prior to going after his little girl he
made arrangements with Grey, one of the
school trustees, to put her in school in Genoa
upon his return Grey's testimony corrob-
crates Vans in this respect and also shows
that Van was in his employ in Genoa in the
months of July and August 1873, the months
that Dangberg claims he was in California.
All this proves that it was not his intention
nor was it possible for Van to have gained a
residence or to have legally registered in Cal
fornia during his four months absence from
~, CHI
that Vans wages were attached in his hands
in Genoa in the Spring of 1877 and that the
case was finally decided in May following.
Fur her that Haines was interested against
him in this suit, thereby mourning Vans bit
ter enmlty which he expressed to Grey both
before and after election in the most en-
phatic and unmistakab lleanguage. The evil
derce shows conclusively that Van was not
only legal voter but that he was an avowed
enemy of Haines and declared supporter of
Dan3 berg for whom he unquestionably
voted Van registered and voted in Genoa
at the solicitation of Dangbergs friends and
upon the advice of his (Dangberg's) attorneys.
Peter Lesseuberg has been resident of
Genoa for the last seventeen years and al
ways voted there, and claimed it as his home.
Lessenberg is laborer by occupation, and
was temporarily engaged on the Stewart
ranch in Ormsby County, which place he
left five weeks prior to the last election, and
and went to work for Baily cutting and haul
ing wood into Genoa At the solicitation of
some of his colored friends at the Stewart
ranch, he registered in Carson City, but
finding that he would be employed III Doug
las county fo1 more than thirty days prior to
he election, he made application and was
regularly and legally transferred to- and reg
stored at, his cid home in Genoa. During
MS stay in Ornsby County it is shown that
his clothing and other effects remained at his
home in Genoa, and the testimony and sur
facts prove that he never had &C
quired a residence in any place, other than |
Genoa
5. G. DAVIS, one of Dangberg's witnesses, |
shows by his testimony that he voted for
Dangberg and that he vas a resident of Ell |
Dorado County, California, and in business |
there at the time of the last election, there
fore not entitled to vote in this State. Also
hat one Frank Backus, another witness for
Dangberg, shows by his own testimony that
lc, too, voted for Dangberg, and that he was
not at the time citizen of the United States
To recapitula,e. Admitting, for the sake
If argument, that we deprive Haines of the
Haming' vote, and the Genoa vote, and
perg' votes, and Hanes majority remains
wo. Admitting further, that the votes OF
rosenberg, Van, Davis and Backus, were
il illegal, we 6rd that Haines loses one,
Lc 'senberg), and Dangberg loses three,
Van, Davis and Bakus), thereby increasing
Iaines majority to instead of 2.
