61 33d. Did you not require of applicants for registration whose loyalty you doubted, but against whom you had no positive proof, to produce qualified voters to vouch for their loyalty? A. I am not prepared to answer that question. 34th. Did yon ever require qualified voters as vouchers for anybodys loyalty before you would register him as a qualified voter? A. I can't say whether we did or not. 35th. You mean by that answer that you are not prepa red to state? A. That is what I mean. 36th. What confession or admission made to the registers after taking the oath did you consider sufficient to cuter a man disloyal. A. I thought it was all sufficient if they desired the South should whip the North, either to us or if it came to us through public repute, 37th. If a man said on examination before you that he sympathised with the South, and did not think the govern- ment was doing right to wage the war on them, what did you do with such a persons application? A. We used such language in connection with public repute that he was a rebel, but if the public said otherwise we did not. 38th. Whose opinion constituted public repute? A. I don't recollect. The above has been read to me and is correct. LEVIN CONNER. Written and attested by Joseph H. Smith, Clerk. There being no further testimony produced we adjouned sine die. Test: JOSEPH H. SMITH, Clerk. |
