these ladies voted? A. I think there had been but a very few votes received in the morning when a number of them voted. Q. Well, was it about 5 o'clock in the morning--very early? A. No, sir; not so early as that; the probability is that there was not over 20 or 25 votes received before they presented theirs. _Conceded_: That the women named in the indictment were women on the 5th day of November, 1872. _Cross-Examination by_ MR. VAN VOORHIS: Q. Which of those persons did you see register? A. Mrs. Hough, Mrs. Pulver, Mrs. Truesdell, Mrs. Leyden. Q. Do you swear you saw Mrs. Leyden register? A. I think I did. Q. Take a second thought and see if you are willing to say you saw her register--please look off that paper. Do you recollect seeing those persons register, or do you suppose they did, because you find it on a paper there? A. No, sir; I recollect seeing pretty much all of them on my list with the exception of one or two; I won't be fully positive I saw Mrs. Leyden register; I saw her vote. Q. Did you go to Mrs. Leyden's house and advise her to go and register? A. I don't think I did. THE COURT: That is not important. Q. Do you recollect seeing any others register except those you have now mentioned? A. I think I saw Mary Anthony. Q. Any other? A. Mrs. Chapman. Q. Can you recollect this without looking at that paper? A. Well, the object in looking at that paper is to try to refresh my memory on which day they registered. Q. Does that paper contain dates? A. No, sir; it contains the names of all those who registered. Q. You copied that paper from the registry, didn't you? A. They were copied by Hall at the time of the election, and handed to me. Q. What was your business at the registry at that time? A. I had a poll list; I was checking parties that I supposed had a legal right to vote. Q. What sort of a poll list? Objected to as immaterial. THE COURT: It is only competent as a test of his knowledge. A. I had canvassed the ward and taken a list of all the voters in the first district; all those that I supposed would be entitled to vote. Q. You had canvassed the ward in the employment of somebody? Objected to as immaterial. Q. How many of these people did you see vote? A. I think I saw the whole of them vote, with the exception of Mrs. Hough and Mrs. Cogswell. Q. Who took Miss Anthony's vote? A. Mr. Jones. Q. Were both the other ins
