39
3d:
A. I did.
4th:
I did not.
5th:
A. I did, to the best of my judgment.
Special direct:
When Clement M. Wright applied to your Board for reg-
istration, were you present; if yea, state all that occurred
before you?
A. I was present when he came in the office. He asked to
see the oath, which we gave him, and after lie read it over,
he said he could not take that oath, that he had taken" an
oath at the election before, and if he took this one, lie should
forswear himself. He did not think that any Christian
could take the oath prescribed in the Constitution, and de-
mended to be registered as a qualified voter, without taking
the oath. I believe this is about all.
7th. What was said by your colleague, Mr. Phillips, or any
one else, about democrats not being registered in the presence
of Mr. Weight?
A. I did not hear anything.
8th. Were you present when Beauchamp A. Wright ap-
plied to your Board for registration?
A. I do not consider that he did apply.
9th. What was done and said by Mr. B. A. Weight in the
presence of the Board?
A. Mr. Wright said he could not take the oath; told us
to put his name and age down.
10th. In what form did you -administer that part of the
oath prescribed by the Registry Law?
A. That they would make true answers to such questions
that might be propounded to them touching their right of
registration and voting.
Cross-Examination:
1st:
A. Mr. Duer.
2d:
A. Joseph A. Phillips, Francis A. Hatton.
