Jones? A. I did. Q. To save time, I will ask you whether that was substantially correct as you understand it? A. Yes, sir. Q. Now, I will ask you the question if, in registering and receiving these votes, you believed that the law required you to do it, and you acted conscientiously and honestly? Objected to. THE COURT: Put the question as you did to the other witness--whether in receiving these votes he acted honestly and according to the best of his judgment. By MR. VAN VOORHIS: Q.

By and between whom? A. Between the supervisors, the inspectors, and myself. Q. State, if you please, what occurred when you presented yourself at the polls on election day? A. Mr. Hall decidedly objected-- MR. CROWLEY: I submit to the Court that unless the counsel expects to change the version given by the other witnesses, it is not necessary to take up time.
