24th. What proof did you have of the disloyalty of John
Adams?
A. It is impossible for me now to recollect what was the
evidence against all the persons who came up before us, we
might get thorn confounded. Mr. Adams' case, he said, if
I'm not mistaken, that his "sympathies had been on the side
of the South, that he had desired the success of the South."
25th. Did he say that he had openly expressed that desire
or did lie in answer to your questions admit only that his sym-
pathies were with the South?
A. I don't positively recollect, but I think it was "some-
thing more than his sympathies for the South.
26th. Were a man's sympathies with the South, without
previous open expression of them, in your judgment a cause
of disqualification, and did you act thereon?
A. It was not,' it was altogether how far those sympathies
extended, if they were for the cause, they were, if for suffer-
ing humanity, they were not.
27th. What question did you ask to ascertain a man's
sympathies?
A. One question was, "when the two armies met in line of
battle, which did they wish to gain the victory?"
28th. Was an admission, that, he felt a preference for the
South, without proof, that he had given aid and comfort,
by openly declaring that preference or his adhesion to the
) enemies of the United States, a cause of disqualification in
your judgment?
A. We so considered it, men generally act from the im-
pulse of their feelings.
29th. You did enquire then into a man's feelings on that
question. Did you?
A. His desires,
30th. If a man declined to answer your questions as to his
feelings, how did you enter him?
A. "Refused to answer the questions."
31st. Did you or not disqualify him?
A. I think we did. I think that the act of Legislature
required them to satisfy us.
32d. What cause of disqualification was proved to you
against Isaac W. Bunting?
A. He refused to take the oath.
33d. Why did he refuse to take the oath?
A. He never made any application to me.
