Now would you, considering that this
is a solemn matter, be willing to swear
positively that you did not make mis-
take in transcribing the vote he declared!
| might have made a mistake, but l
think was right
: Mr.. Clifford persisted in the effort to
make the witness admit possible error
until the judge said:
= You have rung the changes about long
enough on that, Mr.. Clifford. L think
we had better get down to facts.
Mr.. Clifford then continued:
How long were you engaged in the
counting?
| cannot say.
You counted the straight tickets?
Yes.
: How did you get at those you counted!
l sorted them out
Did you count any that he sorted?
No
What did you do with those you sorted
out?
| put them in two piles.
Did you then count them?
Do you remember the result:
| remember that there were 2S2 in one
pile.
What did you do with your COUNT
turned it overssto Mr.. Harper.
Did you see him count your ballots
over?
| did not.
We're you with Mr.. Harper when he
went to City hall and the city clerks
office?
Yes.
Whom did he go to first?
l did not notice We had the ballot box
to look after. He called me into the city
auditors Office.
About what time did Harper close his
counting?
Can't you tell whether it was two or
three hours?
No.
Was it long or short time:
Quite long time.
Was it nine O'clock?
1t might have been.
Have you ever been clerk before?
Yes, the year before.
What was done with the ballots after
they were counted.
They were put back in the box.
We're they ever burned?
l never saw that done with them there.
The county attorney then asked the
witess it he knew at the time he was
recording that his business was to hear
the declaration and record the vote &C.
curately, as declared?
Witness said he did.
Mr.. Clifford then asked about the
lighting of the ward room.
Witness said the light was fair.
Ex-City Auditor Charles s. Deake
was then called, and asked first about
the check lists put into his vault He
testified as to the bringing of them by
Mr.. Russell and that they remained
there, the whole number, until Mr..
Russell and Mr.. Thompson came and
asked for them on Friday.
While they were there did any one have
access to them?
No l had examined them with Mr.. Rus
sells permission.
Did you make any changes in the Ward
list?
/ did not.
Mr.. Clifford then asked about The
changes in the return made in the city
auditors Office He said that Harper had
come to him and said that Looney had
told him that his entering the three
votes as scattering was incorrect; that
there was no such thing as scattering
vote.
ellis and Harper wanted an eraser,
but witness told them that ii there was
any change to be made it would not be
proper to erase.
A line must be drawn through and
the correcting made in that way.
Y Then Mr.. Clifford brought out the fact
that Mr.. Russell had given Mr.. Deake
and Mr.. Arthur FarnsWorth written per-
mission to look over the city check lists
while they were in the auditors vault.
At this point, it being nearly six
O'Clock, the court adjourned.

the case, And, if my view of the mat
