none more so, that I know of, in the county or out of it; and
this majority which voted Mr. Harris's name in the eighth
column barely could do so, and was strengthened to do so by
the old adage " that it was better that ninety nine guilty
ones .should go clear than that one innocent person should be
punished."
14th. What did public repute charge upon Mr. Joshua J.
Briddle?
A. That he was a disloyal man.
15 th. You cannot recollect, then, airy-particular act or word
charged against him ?
A. The items of his disloyally I cannot remember.
16th. Joseph F. Boston is similarly entered; can you're-
collect any charges against him ?
A. I cannot.
17th. Can you remember any particular act or word of
disloyalty which was charged against anybody whom you
have entered disloyal by public repute; if yea, state any
case ?
A. At this time I cannot; but then at the time I was in
conversation with them perhaps I might have.
18th. If I understood you correctly just now, you meant
to say that in no case where you have entered the applicant
as disloyal by public repute did you have testimony of any
special act or word of disloyalty ?
A. From my present recollection, we did not.
19th. Henry S. Cr'oswell was first entered as disloyal by
his own confession, and aferwards is entered as a loyal voter;
can you state how he secured, this change ?
A. He thought he was, and so did we; it was from the
conveyance of a letter to "Dixie," and we, the registers,
unanimously, were satisfied that he did not send the letter
beyon our lines.
20th. Do you think Mr. Crosswell would have taken the
oath if he had supposed the had done anything disloyal?
A. I take that back about his thinking so.
21st. I see Mr. John Coulbown was first; entered as a
qualified voter; afterwards is entered disloyal by public re-
pute; how did it happen that a public offider's reputation
for disloyalty should not have been known to the board until'"
the day of review?
A. It was known so far as I was concerned.
22d Azariah P. Lankford was first entered disloyal by
his own confession; what did he confess?
