36 A. I don't recollect now, but at the time we were satisfied in our own minds that he was not a qualified voter, and therefore did not extend his name. 54th. If you were satisfied in your own minds that a nun was disloyal, though you did not know of any particular word or act of his, you did not extend him as a qualified voter, did you? A. We did not extend him if we were satisfied by any sufficient authority. 55th. Did I not understand you in the case of Mr. Bowland to say that the Board could not recall any particular act or word, but that you were satisfied in your own minds? A. We were satisfied in our own minds from such things as we had heard from him, but could not recollect anything directly what he said; we were convinced that he was not entled to vote; we heard him speak frequently in favor of the South, and against the Government. 56th.

A. They were not. 57th. Litt. Haymond was originally entered on the list of qualified voters, afterwards, it. appears, erased, and the entry made of "disloyal by general reputation."

How does this happen? A. It is a mistake. It should be "by his own testi- mony." 60th. John W. Haymen is entered, "disfranchised by general reputation." What proof was there against him. of such fact ? A. I do not remember. |
