lent acts Fox claims that Perciyal Maggie and

that district by depriving 45O citizens Of the right
to vote Fox AYERS that the enrollments both
primary and supplementary, were altered and de
faced so that correct list of persons entitled to
vote was employed al the election.
II is alleged that when an anu Moebus man
applied 10 vote he told in cases that his
name was the list by mistake. and his vote
not taken. The further alleg alton is made that
