46 5th. Was Mr. Wright before the Board more than once? 6th. Do you say on your oath that no conversation occur- red with Mr. Wright and Mr. Phillips and Mr. Halton, your colleagues, while he was before the Board, with refer- ence to the exclusion of Democrats as disloyal? 7th. When you left the room did not Mr. Wright on the steps or in front of your office, say to you that you were hard on the Democrats? 8th. Did not you say to Mr. Wright that you meant Breckenridge Democrats? 9th. Did not Mr. Wright say to you that he would like you to show him the difference between you and him, that you supported Bell and he supported Breckenridge, and they had both gone into secession? 10th. Was not that talk in consequence of what had pass- ed in the office of the Board a few moments before? 11th. Do you recollect all that passed in the house before the Board? 12th. Not recollecting all that passed in the house, and not charging your memory with it as you say, can you say positively that no conversation occurred between Mr. Wright, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Halton, respecting their intention to exclude Democrats? 13th.

Did you enter as disloyal or disqualified, in the 7th column, any but those who appeared and claimed the right of Registration ? 17th. Did you enter any as "failing to appear and dis- loyal?" 18th.

Did you enter in the seventh column the cause or reason for the disqualification of all persons whom you enter- ed as disqualified or did not extend as a qualified voter? |
