neses were examined before the guber-
material contest boards yesterday, the
evidence relating chiefly to the alleged
use of tissue ballots in Democratic
counties and to the use of militia in
Louisville.
John B. Pirtle of Louisville resumed
the stand at the beginning of yester-
days session. He stated that of 2Oe
registered voters in one precinct only
1lS votes were cast. He had endeav-
ored to have the voting expedited, but
was told that the voting place was SO
cold that the clerks could not work any
faster. The witness testified that he
saw two inspectors for the Brown tick
ct elected from the voting place, where
upon he asked some one to telephone
Chief of Police Hangar to instruct an
officer to demand the admittance of the
inspectors. The inspectors were ad-
mitted on an order from the chief of
police.
H. NJ. Harrison, employed by firm
that printed the ballots for thirty-eigat
counties, testified that he had heard xR
complaints from the counties using
the ballots his firm furnished.

Charles Gibson, Louisville attor-
ney, testified to having been asked to
confer with Gov Bradley at the Gait
house in Louisville the day before the
election.
He said that GJS. Bradley asked him
for his views as to the propriety of
making a speech in Louisville that
night The witness said that the gov
ernor had already concluded that it
would be unwise to speak, in view of
the excited state of the public mind.
He said that he and Gov Bradley dis
cussed the advisability of calling out
the troops and that he agreed with the
governor that he should be in charge
of the troops instead of the city peace
officers.
Asked as to his opinion of the
pledges made to the people by Mayor
Weaver, Chief of Police Hangar and
Chairman Lyons of the board of public
safety, Gibson said he did not believe
Mayor Weaver was sincere, that he
had no opinion as to Lyons, but be-
lieved Chief Hangar would have done
mis- whole duty if left to himself.
