Said he:--.I do not know what Mr..
Hudspeth's object is. but l think that
these delays are entirely uncalied Tor.
One-half of the objections made by him
this morning are silly and irfevalent, and
it seems as ii he was purposely trying to
delay the proceedings. / most strenousiy
object to having these slips marked for
Identification, as 1t will cause more de-
lay"
Mr.. Hudspeth denied any intention of
delaying the proceedings, and thought
that some OF his objections were yerv
proper 1t was finally agreed TO allow
the slips 70 be marked.

names of dead men whose names
were voted at the last cleo
tion were then read and offered

VACANT LOTS
The witness also stated in answer to
questions by counsel that he had found
the addresses given as being vacant lots.
~ LAWYER Record:-"Wili you name
themY'
Corporation Attorney Hudspeth had
another objection. He objected on the
ground of immateriality. no foundation
laid for the question, and no evidence had
been offered that these addresses sought
on the vacant lots were pertinent to the
enquiry.
The objection was entered at large the
record.
Mr.. Hudspeth then wanted to know If
witness was testifying from memoranda.
Being assured Of the fact. he said
II wish to file another objection. OBJ
iect to witness testifying from memor-
andy which he has in his hand. as it has
not been shown that he made these
particular memoranda, or that he made
any in regard to the addresses sought on
the vacant lots which the witness is
called upon to locate, and it does. not
appear that it is necessary for the witness
to testify from such memoranda for the
purpose of refreshing his recollection,
ana counsel insists that the witness must
testify from recollection.
Mr.. Rudpeth appeared exceedingly re-
lieved after occupying fifteen minutes
time in delivering the objection.
LAWYER RecorQ:-"By whom were the
memorandums referred to nader"
Witness:-"By myself. At the time /
was seeking the information.o
Lawyer Record:-''Please state those
names and addresses from vacant lots"
Mr.. Hudspeth:-.I object to that Ques-
ton on,the ground that it is incompetent.
That memorandum speaks for itself"

The witness stated that he had per-
sonally visited the above addresses and
found them to be vacant lots. He had
found an address given on Thirteenth
street, between Grove and Henderson
streets to have been formerly factory
which was burned down.
The witness then stated that he had
found number of voters had moved
away prior to the election.
Mr.. Hudspeth filed the usual objection.
He asked to strike the testimony out on
the grounds that the witness had not
identified these persons as being individ-
uals who voted or were alleged to have
voted at the spring election.
Lawyer Gordon had taken the place of
Mr.. Record, who had stepped out for a
few minutes
Lawyer Gordon Give the names and
addresses from which those people have
moved?e
Mr.. Hupspsth got in his usual objec-
tion. The witness formed conclusion
without giving any facts. 1t Was all
hearsay evidence.
After having this objection recorded,
Mr.. Hudspeth asked that the proceedings
be postponed until the afternoon. The
lawyers for Mr.. Perkins wanted to con-
tinne, but Mr.. Hudspeth insisted on q
postponement, and it was finally agreed
upon.
