By THE COURT: 

Q. Did these ladies vote the Congressional ticket, all of them?

A. I couldn’t swear to that.

Q. Look at the book as to that.

A. It does not tell for certain; the clerks may have made a mistake in making these marks; they do very often.

Q. Did you make any of the entries in that book?

A. No, sir; a clerk appointed by me did it.

By MR. CROWLEY: 

Q. When you counted up your votes at night, when the polls closed, did you compare your votes with the list?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Did you find it correct?

A. We found it fell short of the poll list several ballots; I can’t tell how many.

Q. Do you know whether it fell short on members of Congress?

A. Yes, sir, it did.

Q. Did you make a certificate and return of that fact?

A. Yes, sir; the certificate was filed in the Clerk’s office.

EDWIN T. MARSH, one of the defendants, having been duly affirmed as a witness in his own behalf, testified as follows: 

Examined by MR. VAN VOORHIS: 

Q. Were you one of the inspectors of the 8th ward?

A. I was.

Q. How was you appointed?

A. I was appointed by the Common Council just before the first meeting of the board.

Q. What is your age?

A. I am 33.

Q. Did you hear the statement of Mr. 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. Answer that question, please?

A. I most assuredly did.

[This witness was not cross-examined.]

Q. Do you know these defendants, Jones and Marsh?
