lf as a witness for my
client.

HENRY R. SELDEN, a witness sworn in behalf of the defendant,
testified as follows: Before the last election, Miss Anthony
called upon me for advice, upon the question whether she was or
was not a legal voter. I examined the question, and gave her my
opinion, unhesitatingly, that the laws and Constitution of the
United States authorized her to vote, as well as they authorize
any man to vote; and I advised her to have her name placed upon
the registry and to vote at the election, if the inspectors
should receive her vote. I gave the advice in good faith,
believing it to be accurate, and I believe it to be accurate
still. [This witness was not cross-examined.]

Judge SELDEN: I propose to call Miss Anthony as to the fact of
her voting--on the question of the intention or belief under
which she voted.

Mr. CROWLEY: She is not competent as a witness in her own behalf.
[The Court so held.] Defendant rests.

JOHN E. POUND, a witness sworn in behalf of the United States,
testified as follows, examined by Mr. CROWLEY:

January, 1873, were you Assistant United States District Attorney
for the Northern District of New York? _A._ Yes, sir.

_Q._ Do you know the defendant, Susan B. Anthony? _A._ Yes, sir.

_Q._ Did you attend an examination before Wm. C. Storrs, a United
States Commissioner, in the city of Rochester, when her case was
examined? _A._ I did.

_Q._ Was she called as a witness in her own behalf upon that
examination? _A._ She was.

_Q._ Was she sworn? _A._ She was.

_Q._ Did she give evidence? _A._ She did.

_Q._ Did you keep minutes of evidence on that occasion? _A._ I
did.

_Q._ (Handing the witness a paper). Please look at the paper now
shown you and see if it contains the minutes you kept upon that
occasion? _A._ It does.

_Q._ Turn to the evidence of Susan B. Anthony? _A._ I have it.

_Q._ Did she, upon that occasion, state that she consulted or
talked with Judge Henry R. Selden, of Rochester, in relation to
her right to vote?

Judge SELDEN: I object to that upon the ground that it is
incompetent, that if they refuse to allow her to be sworn here,
they should be excluded from producing any evidence th
