THE MANDAMUS CASES.
Taken Under Amusement by Judge
Zane.

In the mandamus case against J
R.Morris, yesterday afternoon, after
the close OF the NEWS report, Morris
testified-I did not decline to give
the information about when would
visit the houses so as to have an ex-
cuse for not registering a certain
class Of people; | intended TO leave
all whom l did not lind home till the
last week; l preferred TO register
peop'e l did not know, Mt home:
made 4 distinction between those
knew and those | did not know; the
instructions required us to get the
residence; the voter could tell me,
but did not know for myself; if
I had been at n house, and no
one was home and the resident
afterwards called ON me, / refused
10 register him unless | absolutely
knew him; / have stricken Off over
200 names, and have added some
thing more than 100 in the precinct.
George LambOurne testified Il
was at Norris house when Cumber-
land came and asked for registra-
tratiOn, and heard Morris say he
would have to wait till after Dec.
%; he said the Commission would
give one weeks notice Of where the
registration Office would be.
This closed the Cumberland case,
and that of John II. Back vs.. Nor
ris was called. Mr.. Back testified
l have lived in the Third precinct
two years; am n married man;
work at H.. G.. NJ. l.; am
naturalized citizen; am not now,
and never have been pOlygamist;
applied to Morris, at his residence,
for registration; there were three Of
us; he took the other two and re-
fused to register me; he called at my
house when ! was not hOIhe, and |
told him Of it.
To McBride-the witness made
substantially the same statements.
s. w. r. Brown corrObOrated Mr..
Backs testimony about Morris re-
fusing TO register him.
J. Il. Morris testified TO the same
facts, and said, Il told him en-
phatically that | would register no
one at my house,
To Rawlins-I refused him be-
cause it was not at his house; | have
registered people at their place Of
business.
Mr. RauIins-H Have vou p,if o,
names furnished by Mr.. Clute?
Mr.. Morris-I have.
Mr.. McBride-We object to that.
COurt-Let the objection be sus-
tanned.
The attorneys then proceeded !
with the argument. Mr.. Rawlins'
opening speech occupied till the
close OF court, and today Mr.. Mer- !
ritt and Judge Mcbride spoke for /
the registrar. Mr.. Rawlins closed /
for the complainant, and the court 4
took the matter under advisement.
