845 BALLOTS TOO

Evidence in the Hampstead County fight, returned by the Supreme Court to the lower court for a new trial, shows 345 more votes were cast in the special county seat election than than there are polltax payers in the county, according to the Su- preme Courts decision. given Monday.
 Hope won over Washington in the lower court. but the decision of the Supreme Court keeps the county seat at Washington.
 Too Many Votes
 The Supreme Court held that presumption of correctness and regularity of prima facie returns from DeRoan Township was over- come by evidence introduced on behalf of the contestants show Ing that 845 more votes were cast in the special election than were shown on official lists of the polltax payers of the county; that there was testimony also of illegal voting permitted by elec- ton judges in DeRoan Township, and that this testimony, taken

together, was sufficient to over come the prima facie returns and to shift the burden to Hope of showing that these returns were in fact correct.
 The court luther held that there was no testimony on behalf of Hope explaining how the dis parity between the officials lists of polltax payers and the prima facie returns occurred.
 Other Grounds
 Other grounds insisted upon by the contestants, the court held, were mere irregularities, and there was nothing in the record to warrant overturning the find ing of the trial judge to the eff feet that Irregularities in other townships outside of DeRoan were not sufficient to impeach the entire returns from those pre- cincts.
 The case was remanded for a new trial, and under authority of the case of Bowen against Love- we'll, 69 Ark. 501. the appellees are given the authority, if they can. to purge the returns from DeRoan Township, and lift the cloud that now hangs over it..
 If the evidence continues the same, the county seat will remain at Washington.
