testified to the days OF registration.
Mr. Hayes argued that the Indictment |
was drawn up under the section prohibit |
ing the fraudulently and knowingly |
registering In two districts It had |
been proved that Caldwell had q right
TO register In one district. The indict-
ment should have been drawn
under section 80, which provides
penalty for a man having registered In
one district, unlswfully registers In
another Further that the contents of
the registration books had not been read
to the jury. The court did not sustain
the objections
Mr Hayes then made a brief address
| TO the Jury in which he argued that In
order TO convict the prisoner 1t would
| have to be shown that he had registered
twice with an intention to vote twice or
otherwise break the law with criminal
intent
Caldwell was placed on the stand and
said be lived on November 6 st No 800
East Tenth street. and worked at the
Delaware House Got his receipt from
the tax office. He was told by Thomas
Buckley, OF the Fret ward. he could
register from the Delaware House. as he
worked and boarded there
Mr. Hayes started in TO prove what the
| intent was, when Mr. Nicholson objected
to any manufacturing OF motives
The court held that II the prisoner did
thia act he did Il knowingly and that
ignorance WAS no excuse.
Witness swore that he afterwards
registered IN the Sixth ward
Thomas Buckley WAS sworn but did not
testify

cution must show that the prisoner
kno owingly registered.
The court held that the only question
was whether or not the prisoner did
register at the two places, and know that
he did 30 register.
Mr.. Hayes then called John Solomon
Robert McCadden and nj 4 Dannenherg,
who proved good character He then closed
The attorney general briefly summed up.
Mr.. Hayes began bis argument by :
claim that the indictment was imperfeotlJ
drawn In that IL reads that he "unlaw
fully aud knowingly" registered In two
districts, whereas II was shown that h'
had right to register In one Of the
districts. That he voted where he had /
right, and did not offer to vote in th'
other. The inference is that he had nI
intention 70 register unlRwfully.
In the hnal summing up the attorney
general explained that the arrest OF tbl
3 prisoner and his placing under ball, was
before election, and the plea that h'
: didn't vote but once WAS an insult II
view Of this, to the intelligence OF th
|, Jury

up the Jury was discharged until 2 30,
