at she gave
elsewhere, especially when they want to give the version which
the United States officer took of her evidence.

THE COURT: Go on.

By Mr. CROWLEY:

_Q._ State whether she stated on that examination, under oath,
that she had talked or consulted with Judge Henry R. Selden in
relation to her right to vote? _A._ She did.

_Q._ State whether she asked, upon that examination, if the
advice given her by Judge Henry R. Selden would or did make any
difference in her action in voting, or in substance that? _A._
She stated on the cross-examination, "I should have made the same
endeavor to vote that I did had I not consulted Judge Selden. I
didn't consult any one before I registered. I was not influenced
by his advice in the matter at all; have been resolved to vote,
the first time I was at home thirty days, for a number of years."

_Cross-examination by_ Mr. Van VOORHIS:

_Q._ Mr. Pound, was she asked there if she had any doubt about
her right to vote, and did she answer, "Not a particle"? _A._ She
stated, "Had no doubt as to my right to vote," on the direct
examination.

_Q._ There was a stenographic reporter there, was there not? _A._
A reporter was there taking notes.

_Q._ Was not this question put to her, "Did you have any doubt
yourself of your right to vote?" and did she not answer, "Not a
particle"?

THE COURT: Well, he says so, that she had no doubt of her right
to vote.

Judge SELDEN: I beg leave to state, in regard to my own
testimony, Miss Anthony informs me that I was mistaken in the
fact that my advice was before her registry. It was my
recollection that it was on her way to the registry, but she
states to me now that she was registered and came immediately to
my office. In that respect I was under a mistake.

_Evidence closed._

ARGUMENT OF MR. SELDEN FOR THE DEFENDANT.

The defendant is indicted under the 19th section of the Act of
Congress of May 31, 1874 (16 St. at L., 144), for "voting without
having a lawful right to vote." The words of the statute, so far
as they are material in this ease, are as follows:

If at any election for representative or delegate in the
Congress of the United States, any person shall knowingly
... vote without having a lawful right
