23
A. I mean for a man to be in favor of the Government.
14th. What acts did you or your colleagues adjudge as
opposition to the Government, or not sustaining the Gov-
ernment?
A. The same acts which the Constitution provides.
15th. Did you confine your judgments in all cases to
proofs of acts of disloyalty against the Government, or open
words or deeds expressing a desire for the success of those in
armed rebellion? In other words, did you always require it
to be proved that a man had done something disloyal or
openly declared that he desired the triumph of the South
before you excluded him?
A. No, sir; I think we excluded some for answers made
before us.
16th. Did you or not enquire of applicants for whom they
had voted at previous elections?
A, I don't think I did; my colleagues did.
17th. Was not that made one of the tests of loyalty before
your body?
A. It was upon conditions.
18th. Did you always require evidence on oath of acts of
disqualification?
A. I don't recollect of disqualifying any man without evi-dence on oath.
19th. Did you give notice to all parties of charges against
them, and confront them with witnesses, giving them an
opportunity to rebut?
A. I don't think we ever turned a man down without tell-
ing him of the charges; and he had the privilege of having
witnesses for himself.
20th. When did you cease to receive applications for regist-
tration ?
A At the last sitting previous to review.
21st. When did you finally close your books ?
A. On the the night of the last day of review.
22d. Can you remember the questions, or the leading ones
which you were accustomed to ask of applicants lor registra-
tion? if so, state them.
A. I don't recollect them. We generally asked such
questions as we thought suited the case.
23d. Did you ever enter a man disloyal who admitted be-
fore you that his feelings were with the South?
A. It his feelings were merely with some individual friends
we did not.
