 for Auditor in that ward.
 Timothy F. Callahan moderator of the Eleventh ward at the last city election, testi- fled that he could not remember how many black ballots were cast for MT. Lake for City Auditor, but in all MT. Lake had about 200 votes in the ward.
 At about this point recess was taken un- til o'clock.
 AFTERNOON SESSION.
 At the afternoon session Luzerne F. Barnes. registrar of :he Twelfth ward Hoad- ley B. Ives, moderator of the Ninth ward, ward, and others gave their opinion as to the number of so called black ballots deposited in the boxes of their own wards
 On the conclusion of this class of testimo ny Mr. Blydenburgh said he thought there was sufficient evidence before the court to warrant a request to have the boxes opened.
 MT. Doolittle asked if he was not to be a1- lowed to introduce testimony.
 Judge Park said that this was the time to present testimony connected with opening the boxes.
 The first witness called by Mir. Doolittle was Edgar A. Robinson. He testified that he was a printer for thirty five yea.rs and had the printing of the briefs used by lawyers before the Supreme Court. One of the black ballots was shown him and he testified that it was printed on plain white paper. c. Edward Osborn testified that he was manager of the Stafford Printing company, of this city. which concern printed the black ballots They were printed on plain white paper. The witness produced the cut used in printing the ballots. To Mir. Blydenburgh the witness said that in the printing the names of the nominees are left white after the ballot received an inn pression. The paper used was sixty pound white book paper:
 William B. Catlin testified that he was the chairman of the Democratic Town commit tee and gave an order for ballots to be used in the last city election. To an objection raised by the other side MT. Doolittle said he wanted to show that the black ballots were printed as they were to prevent fraud {; to prevent the voters from being cheated by having imitation Democratic ballots palmed off upon them. Judge Park ruled out the testimony offered.
 Mir Carberry was recalled and asked if a ballot handed to him by Mir. Doolittle was like ones voted in his ward at the last city election.
 Mir. Blydenburgh objected. To question from the court Mir. Doolittle said that the ballot was like all of those cast for Mir. Kim berly, and it was proposed to show that there were more illegal ballots counted for Mir. Kimberly than for Mir. Lake. The bal lot was just as easy to distinguish, Mir. Doo- little said, any of those cast for Mir. Lake, and if one was an illegal ballot the other certainly was, for it could be easily told.
 Mir. Blydenbursh said the evidence could not come in at this stage; if there were illegal ballots cast for Mir. Kimberly SO much the more reason for opening the boxes. The question at issue now related only to opening the boxes.
 The court so ruled, and Mir. Carberry was dismissed
 explained that he proposed to show. if al- lowed, that the black ballots were uniform in style and could not be identified when folded.
 The proposed testimony was ruled out by the court and Mir. Doolittle filed an exception to the ruling.
 Mir. Doolittle had no further testimony to offer, he sad. MT. Blydenburgh said he thought that enough had been shown to war rant the opening of the city boxes.
 Judge Harrison objected to the boxes be- ing opened until the proof was produced as to where the boxes were, or in whose cus- l tody they were from the time they left the several polling places until they reached the custody of the Town Clerk. Judge Park decided that if there was a question about the boxes being tempered with, they might be brought into the jury room and be examined by the moderators, who were in the court room, to determine the fact
 Town Clerk Shustel and Messenger Stev, ems were then detailed to bring the boxes into the jury room, and they soon after re- turned, each bearing two boxes. This was repeated until the entire twelve ward boxes were stored in the jury room. Then the boxes were brought in one at tinne the Fifth ward box being first. Henry F. An druss was the moderator. He said that he did not put the seal on the box and the name was not in his handwriting. He did not know who sealed the box, although he was moderator of the ward.
