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

memory on which day they registered.
Q. Does that paper contain dates?

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?

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.

Q. Who took Miss Anthony's vote?
A. Mr. Jones.
Q. Were both the other ins
