did no such thing and many of them
proved an alibi.
In summing up his argument, Mr.. Duls
laid special stress upon the following
points:
/. The contest should not be considered
at all, it being barred by the statute.
=. If it is considered it should be gov
crned by the well-known rules of law
governing evidence in such cases-hear-
say evidence should not be considered.
3. The presumption is in favor of the
election having been fair and well con-
Quoted, and the contestee must prove
to the contrary.
4. That the evidence does not prove that
all the 85 lived i'll Pineville township,
that they were otherwise entitled to vote,
that they would have voted for the con-
testants or that they were prevented by
intimidation from so doing.
Argument of other counsel will be heard
tonight at 8 O'clock, after which the
points in the case will be carefully CON
sidered by the committee.

was interested i'm an election contest. and
Mr.. O'Ferrall was a member Of the House
