Hon. C. p. O'Malley, of counsel for
the contestants, yesterday secured from
court permission to cross-examine wit
nesses as to their registration. The re-
spondents in their bill of particulars at
tack many of the Republican voters on
the ground that they are not properly
registered. At the hearings they do not
examine these witnesses on the matter
of registration and object to the con-
testants' attorneys bringing the ques-
ton up in cross -examina ton.
Mr.. O'Malley set forth to the court
that if the respondents persist in this
opposition the contestants will be re-
quired to call all those witnesses again
in rebuttal, all of which will consume
time, pile up the costs and greatly in
convenience the witnesses.
Judge Archibald decided that there
was no occasion for this unnecessary
expenditure of time, money and trouble
and decreed that the contestants might
examine the witnesses as to registra-
tion as they are subpoenaed by the re-
spondents, whether or not the matter
is brought up in direct examination.
The judge promised to make allowance
to the respondents for such portion Of
their time as the contestants may tres
pass upon.
