said that he hoped to put the last of
the Contestants witnesses as to the
Douglas precinct on the stand Yester-
day and he presumed that the contes-
tee would produce some in sur-rebut
tai. He therefore desired that time be
given for summoning the Snowflake
witnesses. He did not ask for an i'm
mediate ruling on his motion to reopen.
There was some sort of an understand
ms that The matter would be taken up
later in the day but there was after
ward 10 allusion to it.
How it Was Done at Douglas
The cross examination of Robert
Garlic who was on the stand when
court adjourned on Tuesday evening
was then resumed by Judge Campbell.
It was brought out that he shared
the notion of Mr.. Walters that a voter
was entitled to but one ballot; that
having spoiled that one he could reg
lister his will only by the erasure of a
mistake he might have made in mark
ing. He was asked who had impaired
that information to the Douglas cleo
ton board Mr.. Garlic did not know;
it seemed to have been in the air there.
He said further that he had seen no
erasures made in the course of the
Gay though he had assisted several
voters. Always there had been anoth-
err member of the board with him as
the law requires but he said that there
was not room for both of them with the
voter in the booth. He answered an
other question by stating that they
could get their heads into the booth.
An Interested Witness
The next witness was J. F. Curtis of
Douglas. He said he had been about
precinct No. l during the day and fire.
quently during the count. He had Wis
tied all the other precincts but the one
that attracted him the most was Pre-
cinct /, though he was not a resident of
it. He saw no Irregularities there He
saw no drunkenness though he ad-
mitted that Pearson had been drinking,
hut not enough to hurt him. The bal
lot box, in his opinion had always been
safeguarded. When members of the
board went out for their meals, at least
two of them remained. The witness
said he was a democrat and a Hunt
man.
On cross examination by Mr.. Bull
lard, Curtis said that he was engaged
in no occupation at present: until Just
before Christmas he had been the pro-
prietOr of a pool hall He admitted
that he was a subscriber to the Hunt
contest IunQ. MI. Eullard called at
tention to the statement of Curtis that
there were always at least two mem
bers of the board with the ballot box
He said he had heard that expression
with such unvarying monotony from
the Hunt witnesses that he suspected
that they had been rehearsing il among
themselves.
Though Curtis was positive that
there could have been no crOofedness
about the polls that he could not have
seen, he was watching so closely, he
could not remember the names of the
members of the board who were there
at various times. He had noticed no
betting, though he afterward recalled
that there had been. He could not re-
oil that Art Pearson bed drnnk q
