Williamson, Dec. 2S.-(SpeciaD-
The evidence in the legislative con
test in Mingo county today showed
that the Chatteroy precinct was or.
ganized by an armed mob headed by
Republican Commissioner Woolford
II is further shown that the Democrats
were allowed no election officers or
representation, and that the gravest
frauds were openly committed.
Forty-eight negroes were voted, the
evidence shows. illegally at Glen Alum
and again at the Warncliffe precinct
the same day under fictitious names.
The negroes were herded from the
one voting precinct TO the other, and
names were furnished them to COR
respond with the padded registration
lists. The entire transaction sayors
OF the grossest violation of the cleo
ton laws. and it now appears that
there is no legal reason why the
returns OF the precincts named should
be counted. The Democratic contes.
tants so far have decidedly the best
of the matter.
