as to frauds Harris testified he did not say
II saw Francis with fifteen men election day."
He had no connection with any of them. Mr.
Brown then read nearly every statement in
Harris affidavit and Harris denied making the
majority of them. Morris Mooney appears in
the affidavit several times as telling Harris
that the Francis party were repeaters. Wit
ness positively denied ever saying a word about
Mooney. lie had not seen him for three years.
He did not read the atfidavits after Shay wrote
it,

Ky, testified as to the character of certain
Kentuckians who are alleged to have been
brought from Covingtou by Francis. Camp
bell Hare stated that one witness, Chas HAY
man, had just been arrested and asserted that
the arrest was made to get the witness out of
