law says that any person who interferes with
men OF this office In the performance Of
their duty Is guilty Of misdemeanor, and
Mr.. Prince came dangerously near coming
under that section"
Mr.. Swazey said later that it was no I
true, as charged, that Koenig had repre-
sented his constituents.
"Mr. Koenig came here for what purpose
don't know he said. aHe had no busi-
ness here, any more than Prince had. and
1 requested him to get out, which he did"
1t was said that Koenig had written a
letter asking that two men in his district be
excused from appearing until to-day and
that his request was granted.
The business Of examining the papers
went on merrily all day. AS soon as a
man was hustled upstairs he was sworn
by Swazey. Ten he was taken into one Of
the many little Sweat" boxes which have
been built in the place. In each one of these
was a lawyer. One Of the lawyers came
from White Plains. All are Republicans,
according to the Tammany men. The
lawyer took the papers from each person
sent in to him and then made the man answer
a lot of questions on a printed blank. One
OF these was, when did you land in this
country, and on what ship2' Another
question was how long the naturalized
persons had known the witness who vouched
for him. 1t was admitted by Mr.. Swazey's
men that few OF the men had asked for
receipts for their papers No receipts were
given unless asked for.
Head Deputy Stowel said that the papers
would all eventually be compared with the
court records and then returned to the
owners.
@Of those we took to-day" he said, "we
have had time to compare only thirty-seven.
Two of these were found to be absolute
forgeries and the owners will be arrested
tonight We have 800 more subpenas
ready to serve, but we have decided not
to go on with this until after the next reg
istration days, as 1t might be said that We
had kept persons from registering. After
that we intend to examine several thou
sand persons week up to election and
find IL their papers are all right. If they
are they have nothing to fear All OF the
papers we will return, probably before
election"
