Look over these ballots and pick out
y, ,urs," said Attorney Ward for the con-
testant
Mr.. Hummel began to turn over the
ballots, rapidly scanning each. The situ-
auop was tense. and the committeeman
and spectators almost held their breath
as the large, posterlike ballots were turn
ed.
That Is my ballot" said Mr. Hummel.
The ballot was turned, and on the reverse
siGe was found the number which corre-
sponded 20 that in the poll book

at Fields Point, where they had operated
but few moments before their presence
was discovered and an alarm was given.
Mason and his pal were held as vag-
