loyalty; was notified of no charge, but two of the officers
said they would testify to my loyalty; I appeared on the
first day to be registered; took the oath; they asked me no
questions at all; the second day was notified by two of the
officers that I must have witnesses to testily to my loyalty;
Captain Ruberd D. Wallace, one of the officers, testified that
he had never heard me use any disloyal language; was pub-
lished as a loyal voter; at the last meeting Captain William
Carey was called to testify to my disloyalty, and on his tes-
timony I was rejected; after the election, before one of the
registers, I asked Carey if he was a witness? Carey said he
would swrear on a thousand Bibles, or before any court, he
did not act as such a witness, and that my name was not
mentioned. (This objected to by Contestant, as hearsay.)
Mr. Carey is generally considered one of our best men, and
a class-leader in the Church.
3d.
A. I did not vote because I was not registered; would have
voted for J. R. Franklin.
4th. Waived.
Special interrogatories:
1st. When you say Captain William Carey was called as
a witness against you, what do you mean ?
A. I mean he was summoned, as the enrolling books show;
but I do not know he was summoned except from that fact ;
I was not notified of it.
2d. What do you mean by enrolling books?
A. I mean the books of Registration.
3d. Before which of the registers did you call upon Oapt.
Carey if he was a witness against you?
A. Captain Wallace.
4th. What did Captain Wallace say, and was he or not
one of the registers ?
(This question objected to.)
A. Captain Wallace said Carey did testify, and would
have to stick up to it.
Cross-Examination:
Did you feel or express any regret at the defeat of the
United States army at the first battle of Bull Run ?
A I did not, only that I wanted the right side to whip;
and I did not know which side that would be.
