ry, 1873, were you Assistant United States Dist. 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.

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 30 days, for a number of years." _Cross-examination by_ MR. VAN VOORHEES: Q.
